Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a spacious room with all essentials and a clean foyer, though the older rooms on higher floors may not match the 5-star impression. The Executive Lounge is recommended for a better experience at a reasonable price.
The hotel rooms ranged from narrow and lacking space for suitcases with no closet to spacious and immaculately cleaned daily, but noise could be an issue. The service varied from actively engaging with comments to being rude, with helpful and friendly staff elsewhere. The location offered easy access to a variety of attractions, though noise and limited shade could be concerns. Dining experiences were mixed, and facilities were not consistently at their best.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were spacious, comfy, and spotless, making it perfect for a family staycation. The service was friendly and accommodating, although there were some minor issues. The location was great with easy access to amenities, but lacked a bit of vibe. The dining experience exceeded my expectations, especially the coffee. Overall, a great value for money.
The hotel room was spacious and modern with a good view at the front, but unfortunately, it had a bad smell due to the noisy air conditioning and ongoing construction. The food quality and freshness were satisfactory, yet the service was lacking, especially at the reception. The location was excellent and secure, close to transportation, although the ongoing updates were noticeable. The dining experience offered a good selection, while some facilities could be improved.
The stay at Furama Riverfront was okay with some positives like nice facilities in the Courtyard room but not much different than expected. The staff behind us were amazingly helpful in all aspects, especially in the Executive Club, for their kind and welcoming nature. However, the location was not so convenient, lacking nearby transportation options, though the bellman was fair. The dining experience was below average for the price paid, not catering to westerners. Facilities were adequate but nothing exceptional.
I stayed at the hotel for two nights while traveling on to Australia. It's a bit away from the center, but Chinatown is just a 10-minute walk away. The room was basic, which was fine for us since we only slept in it, although it could have been cleaner, especially the carpets. The room had two queen-size beds and a bathtub, perfect for my kids. The design was a bit dated but spacious, the bed was comfy, and the housekeeping service was superb. Overall, a decent place to stay, and I would consider staying here again.
The hotel offers clean and spacious rooms, ideal for business travelers. The service was professional and accommodating, despite facing large crowds. While the location was vibrant, it required transportation to reach major attractions. The dining options were varied, though some items were slow to be restocked. The facilities were well-maintained, providing a comfortable stay.
The hotel is conveniently located near the town and business district, offering comfortable rooms but lacking variety in the breakfast for Indian guests. The staff, except for the concierges, were not very attentive. The courtyard area had some neglect issues with clutter and leaves, but the rooms were cozy and well-equipped.
I was thrilled with our stay at the hotel! The theme suite we booked for our family staycation was a unique experience, despite the very small window and the painted glass pane. The service provided by Lixie, Fatin, Vivian, and Alice in the Executive Lounge was exceptional, adding a personal touch to our stay. The location was excellent, with easy access to attractions and the Metro, though the bathroom needed more attention. Dining options were diverse, especially in the Executive Lounge, offering gluten-free dishes. Overall, a wonderful experience with a few minor drawbacks.
The hotel rooms were comfortable and clean, but the view was poor. I had to open the room door in the middle of the night. The location was a bit frustrating due to the lack of glass in the shower area, but it's walking distance to Robertson Quay and Clarke Quay. The dining experience had a great variety, though the morning breakfast buffet was busy. The service was nonchalant, but there were convenient facilities available.
The hotel is a little bit off the center but has nice and quite big rooms that are spotless. Chinatown is a 10-minute walk away, making it a convenient location. The service is excellent with a very friendly and helpful staff. The location is great, near the river in one of the nicest areas of Singapore. The dining options have plenty of variety for all nationalities, though improvements could be made. Overall, a good choice with clean and spacious rooms.
The hotel rooms were a good size with a sensational bed, blockout curtains, and quiet air conditioning, but they lacked natural light. The service was courteous and helpful overall, with minor issues promptly addressed. The location was convenient for exploring nearby attractions but could use improvement with ongoing construction. The dining options offered a wide selection but were busy during peak hours. The facilities met expectations with a variety of amenities available.
