"The modern extension is a mixed bag, but the Raffles remains refreshingly low-rise and still has colonial-era charm in spades."

"The Perak Hotel (formerly Perak Lodge) is as famous in its own way as Raffles: It has long been Singapore's best little budget hotel."

"A long-time favourite, the Perak Hotel... mixes a classy colonial exterior with an oriental interior complete with Buddha statues and quaint sitting and meditation spaces."

Rough Guide
"Set within a nicely restored shophouse and somewhat sedate – probably not a bad thing given the hullaballoo of Little India."
Time Out
"Tucked behind the Little India Arcade, the Perak Hotel is ideal for soaking up local colour, while simultaneously offering a respite from the area’s hectic vibe."
