We stayed at Palm Court Suites in July and it was impeccable and incredibly quiet even with the construction going on around the area. Sherman, the Lobby Manager, went above and beyond -- when we return to Raffles Singapore, it will only be because HE was AMAZING. We didn't end up using the butler service but make sure they furnish your room with local sweet delicacies (kueh). The food isn't particularly good, but we loved this hotel for its old world charm and service (but loved The Datai more! :-))
