The Fullerton Hotel Singapore

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, beautiful hotel with Amazing history"

Swissotel The Stamford, Singapore

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed in May 2026 and would highly recommend this hotel. We had a Marina Bay view room with a balcony and was well worth it. The views of the bay and the wider city were breathtaking and not obscured in any way. We travelled with two young children and having the balcony to sit on while they slept was well worth the extra cost. The room was for two doubles, but they did add a third single bed in the room which was ideal. The check in process was exceptionally smooth with no delay as a large number of staff and automated systems. Were even able to obtain a late check out. Below the hotel was a shopping centre making it very easy to get snacks, drinks for room and for the day out as well as get many breakfast options. The location was very good and easily walkable to Merlion and Boat Quay. For further distances just use Grab as very cheap. We did use the rooftop bar, but to be honest the views were just as good from the room and as kids not allowed after 6pm did not feel had to go more than the once. The pool was ok but not very large to say supported two hotels. Bar staff at pool were very good and nice touch to have sunscreen available."

Carlton Hotel Singapore

10/10 Excellent

"Nice spacious clean room on the 8th floor with a great view. Breakfast room was very good with very helpful staff. Close to MRT and shopping. Room was quiet as well as comfortable. Reception staff very helpful and our arrival and departure was very well managed. Would definitely recommend this hotel to friends and family."

Mandarin Oriental, Singapore

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was beyond expectations! We booked a club marina view room with access to the lounge, was well worth the upgrade. The room was on floor 22 and had spectacular views of the marina with a floor to ceiling window. The lounge access was amazing, breakfast, afternoon tea, dinner and drinks all day!! The staff were extremely helpful, polite and friendly. Would highly recommend and we would definitely stay here again"

Oakwood Premier Raffles Place Singapore

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely a great location in the financial district to everything. Easy to get to the hotel from Changi airport by the MRT, which only cost USD $2.22 per person, which will save you quite a bit of money than others means of transportation. Take the MRT from the airport to the Tanah Merah MRT station, which is only two stops away, transfer to the East-West line (green), exit Raffles Place MRT Station. Hotel is one block away. Close to many attractions such as Gardens by the Bay, Merlion, Marina Bay Hotel & Casino, Chinatown, Boat Quay & Clarke Quay districts, and the iconic, historic Lau Pa Sat Hawker Centre. If you like to walk like we do, this is the place to be as it is within walking distance to all of the above attractions, as long as the heat & humidity doesn't get to you first. The hotel staff was great, the room was clean, the bed was comfortable, and the A/C works well to keep the room cool. The only negative is that the room was a bit small by our standard. We most definitely would stay here again. Bonus, there is a garden rooftop, 51st floor, with great views of the city for free that is not advertised. Access hours are limited and reservations are required through the building management, not by the hotel. Reservations can be made online."
