Hotels on the River in Singapore

Great central hotel with a much better gym than the photos suggest We had a really good stay here. The location is very central and convenient for exploring Singapore, and our room was clean, spacious and comfortable with a big bed, strong air conditioning and a separate toilet and shower, which was a nice touch. All of the staff we dealt with were friendly and helpful. Check-out was really quick and easy, although check-in did take a little longer than expected. The gym was also a real highlight for us. We’re a UK couple in our 30s who strength train 4x a week, and it had more than enough equipment for two really decent sessions while travelling. There’s a good range of machines, cables and free weights, plus a proper rack, platform and barbell setup — I was able to do RDLs and my husband used the rack for incline bench. The hamstring curl was particularly good with a really smooth resistance profile. There are also body-composition scales, a sauna, pool and outdoor turf area with a high-quality sled for conditioning. A special mention to Mark in the gym, who was fantastic. He spent plenty of time chatting with us, was incredibly friendly and gave us lots of great local recommendations. He really added to the experience. Overall, a comfortable, well-located hotel with friendly staff and excellent facilities. The online photos definitely don’t do the gym justice.

This hotel’s location is excellent situated just behind orchard road. My only two negative points to mention ,you are encouraged to use the self service machines in the lobby which I don’t personally like. There is a staff member who will help if asked. And I availed myself of this option but I had to wait until one became available. The other is that the hotels website clearly states that the rooms are 151 square feet. Only England and the u.s.a to the best of my knowledge uses imperial measurements today. The rest of the world uses metric measurements. 151 square feet is 14 square meters. A little bit deceptive but perfectly legal. These small rooms are identical to those you may find In Hong Kong and Japan, were space is absolutely crucial. Would I stay here again ? yes I would. The advantages outweigh the two disadvantages.

Great hotel, good value. Useful having a gym which was always quiet when I went. But breakfast was poor. Not much choice, the fruit juice was very watery and they ran out of all bread by about 8:30 one morning
