I went to Singapore with my in-laws on CNY and we spent a night there to avoid traffic as we have many places that we wanted to go to (and it's more comfortable that way as our main concern is to make my Mil feel comfortable). After long discussion, we decided to stay at Royal Plaza on Scotts as it's one of the few places that offer halal breakfast buffet and spacious room in Singapore.
THE HOTEL
The hotel lobby is very spacious and looks like a princess could get down the stairs at any time haha. It looks exactly as advertised, and the staffs are also friendly. Checking in was quite a breeze and they also attend to our request to have the rooms nearby or at least the same floor with each other.

We book 3 rooms in total, which are 2 Deluxe Plus Twin room (2 single beds), and one Deluxe King room (1 extra-large double bed), which includes halal breakfast buffet.
The location of this hotel is very convenient as it is located at Orchard Road, surrounded with malls, and nearby MRT stations. Bus stop is also just at the front of this hotel, making it super easy to get around. One complimentary parking space is also provided for each room booked, so we don't have to worry about the parking fee. Coffee shops and restaurants are also available within walking distance so it's super convenient and apparently there's a 7-11 available just at the opposite of the road.
THE ROOM
The best thing about this hotel is that not only they provide halal food, they also have Quran and Praying Mat available at each room. They also mark the direction of the Qiblat so that we don't have to search for the direction ourselves!
The room is quite spacious, complete with hairdryer, iron, ironing board and other basic necessities like kettle, tv, safe box, wifi, shower amenities, bathrobes, and towels. Their shower amenities are quite a lot as they prepare 1 tube of body lotion, 2 tubes of body wash, 2 tubes of shampoo, which is 33ml per tube, and other amenities like shower cap, soap bar, dental kit, vanity kit, and sewing kit.
The bed is very comfortable too. The only problem we encountered was the carpet smell as our room reeks of wet carpet smell and thankfully the smell goes away once we turn on the ac for quite some time.
THE BREAKFAST BUFFET
Pleasing a Malaysian when it comes to the food is quite hard you know, HAHA. But overall, I think the food tasted great especially their Nasi Lemak, spinach ragout, and Japanese Fried rice. I couldn't taste everything as I was still full from last night's Lamb Briyani (I ate a lot and went straight to sleep. Please don't do that, it's unhealthy haha). The variety of the breakfast buffet is a little less than St Giles JB, but it does taste better.

MY REVIEW
Overall, this is a good hotel to stay. The staffs are friendly, the location is great, the food is nice, everything is great.
🍹 Overall, 4 stars!
🍹 3.0 for the room especially due to the carpet scent
🍹 4.5/5 for the breakfast
🍹 4.5/5 for the location
Will I come again?
If money wasn't the problem (you know... it's 3.5 times the cost due to currency hahah), I would definitely stay here again (and request change room if the carpet smells wkwkwk).
Will I recommend this place?
Yes! especially to Muslims.
