Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel Singapore

9/10Great1092 Ulasan
Singapore River Singapore|2.11km dari pusat bandar
This is a long-standing five-star hotel in Singapore. I stayed here for eight nights this time. It's my top choice for business and family trips to Singapore, offering great value for money. **Excellent Location** The location is superb. Right opposite the hotel exit is an MRT station. Although it's not a major line, it's convenient to get anywhere with a quick transfer. Within five or six minutes' walk, there's a large shopping center, The Great World, which has plenty of dining, shopping, and local specialty food options. The surrounding area is also a hub for tourist attractions, easily reachable by taxi or a few MRT stops. **Hotel Design** Given its five-star heritage and recent renovation, the rooms and hotel interior are very new and spacious. I was particularly impressed by the in-room coffee machine and water dispenser. Enjoying a rich cup of coffee while getting ready in the morning [smiley emoji] is a lovely touch. **Hotel Facilities** The swimming pool, gym, conference rooms, and restaurants are all well-equipped. **Service** I didn't get much chance to experience the service as I came back late and was out all day. My only minor complaint is the poor soundproofing. Perhaps it was because I was next to a door that seemed to lead nowhere, and the opening/closing sounds were loud. I could also hear cleaning staff making noise in the mornings. However, the front desk handled it very well, and they were much more careful afterward.

I was a bit disappointed with the hotel during this second visit in June 2026. There was a noisy construction site outside the window, and drilling went on for several hours in one of the neighboring rooms due to renovations. I really wanted to rest after my journey but couldn't, neither in the room nor on the terrace. They couldn't find another room for me, but they tried to smooth things over, which is a plus for the hotel. This time, there were no welcome fruits, no second evening housekeeping service, and no replenishment of amenities, tea bags, or candies. Breakfast was good. The view was excellent; I watched the tree show from my room. Overall, considering the room price, I had hoped for better. My first visit was more enjoyable. It's best to go to the pool right when it opens at 6 AM – there are minimal people then. However, it's heavily chlorinated; even after washing, the smell wouldn't come out of my swimsuit. It was convenient that my room was in the same tower, so I could go to the pool in my bathrobe and slippers. There's free bottled water at the pool and a restaurant for snacks.

The hotel is located in the CBD area, making public transportation very convenient with plenty of options. The hotel's decor and facilities are a bit dated, but they are well-maintained. The room space is quite generous. The executive lounge service wasn't what I expected from an executive lounge; the hotel only offered some drinks and snacks in the afternoon and didn't provide all-day dining. The buffet breakfast had a good selection of Chinese food.

The room overlooks a park, and directly outside is a shopping mall. The Singapore River and the colorful fire station are right next door, and it's a short walk to Merlion Park. **I. Core Strengths: Impeccable Location and Surrounding Amenities** The Wyndham Singapore's greatest asset is its unbeatable location. Situated in the heart of the Civic District, it's only about 300 meters from City Hall MRT station, a mere 5-minute walk. This makes it incredibly convenient whether you're heading to the airport or exploring the city by subway. The hotel is surrounded by attractions; within a 10-minute walk, you can reach Clarke Quay, Fort Canning Park, the Old Hill Street Police Station (Rainbow Police Station), and St. Andrew's Cathedral, among other famous landmarks. Furthermore, the hotel is directly connected to Funan mall and has a 7-Eleven downstairs, offering an incredibly rich selection of dining and shopping options, perfectly suiting both business travelers and leisure tourists. **II. Facilities: Renovated Modernity and Leisure Amenities** Having opened in 1974 and completed a renovation in February 2025, this established luxury hotel has a new lease on life regarding its facilities. The hotel boasts 591 rooms, most of which are spacious. Some rooms feature panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, offering views of the city skyline at night, Marina Bay, or Fort Canning Hill. For leisure, the hotel has two outdoor pools, a 24-hour fitness center, and an exclusive executive lounge, 'The Study'. Additionally, the hotel's Jaspé restaurant serves exquisite French-Asian fusion cuisine, while Bentley's bar and the rooftop sky lounge are excellent spots to relax in the evening and enjoy the city skyline.

Bugis Singapore|2.32km dari pusat bandar
This hotel is centrally located, very convenient to the MRT and bus stops, making it easy to get around even on foot. As it's surrounded by several academies, it's a paradise for young people with plenty of shopping malls and restaurants. The rooms have basic amenities, but they are thoughtfully designed, such as the hot water dispenser in the room, and shared irons, ironing boards, fridges, and microwaves on each floor. There are also coin-operated laundry facilities, which are very useful given Singapore's hot weather. The laundry room is connected to the gym, a nice touch so you can work out while waiting. For short stays, they don't clean the room daily. The air conditioning is excellent. The bathroom, however, doesn't have a wet/dry separation.

Bugis Singapore|1.94km dari pusat bandar
The hotel's location is excellent, with a subway station right outside the door and another line a few hundred meters away that goes to Chinatown. It's about an 800-meter walk to the Fort Canning tree tunnel (a popular photo spot), and from there you can continue on to the Old Hill Street Police Station (also known as the Rainbow Police Station), Clarke Quay, and the Merlion. The room size is a definite advantage compared to other hotels in the same price range; there's plenty of space to walk even with two large suitcases. The bathroom size is standard as well. The downside is that the bathroom fixtures are quite old, and the shower is difficult to use. However, I was aware of this beforehand, so I was prepared, and given the other advantages, it's acceptable. The bedding is good, and the sofa is quite comfortable. Among the toiletries, only the shampoo, shower gel, and toothbrush weren't great; everything else was fine. The room has a kettle and comes with tea and coffee packets. There's also a water dispenser in the hallway where you can get iced or room temperature water. The hotel breakfast is decent, on par with business hotels in China. However, the service is excellent; they diligently restock drinks and food even at the last minute, even if there are only a few people dining. There are washing machines and dryers on the fourth floor, each costing 5 SGD, and you can get change for coins at the front desk. The commercial machines work very well; the dryer gets clothes completely dry in 40 minutes. There are also ironing facilities in the room. Overall, I recommend this hotel. If you have a higher budget, you might look elsewhere, but if you're looking for great value for money at this price point, you should definitely consider it.

Wonderful Stay at V Hotel Lavender with Excellent Hospitality Had a pleasant stay at V Hotel Lavender. As this was our first trip to Singapore, especially with a 2-year-old toddler, everything felt very comfortable and convenient here. The hotel is also very friendly for Indonesian guests who are used to having a bidet in the toilet. We were especially grateful for the excellent service we received. Miss Cecilia, the receptionist on duty that day, was incredibly kind to us. She gave us a room with a beautiful view and also allowed us to have a late check-out at 1 PM, which really helped us manage our toddler’s nap schedule without any hassle. Thank you, Miss Cecilia, and all the staff at V Hotel Lavender for making our holiday comfortable and memorable.

The hotel is a 5-10 minute walk from Havelock MRT station, offering convenient transportation and a variety of dining options, from seafood restaurants to budget fast-food joints. It's also not far from Chinatown and Orchard Road. The room size is decent, which is quite good for Singapore. The hotel's exterior looks grand, but the interior of the rooms is a bit old-fashioned. Particularly, there's only a bathtub, which even has long-standing water stains. The room amenities are on par with a basic budget hotel.

We got here at 10pm just got off a flight and need to catch another flight early in the morning. It’s a massive resort, rooms are quite old. We can hear some kid running either upstairs of us or outside in the corridor at 2am, we can’t go back to sleep after this. Also the most scary part is that we found a metal pin on one of the beds, as my son said there was something weird, I’ve brought it to the front desk at checkout, and the front desk man said “****, I’ll talk to my manager “. So don’t think we’ll come back here again🙂. Gotta say the taxi service is pretty efficient as we needed to get to the airport at 4:30am.

Bugis Singapore|2.59km dari pusat bandar
This is an older hotel with basic facilities. It's comparable to a 3-star hotel in China, and the breakfast is about what you'd expect from a 3-4 star hotel there. Of course, the price is also around 300, but in Singapore dollars. If you're not traveling with family, you'd find much better standard room options and accommodations for the same price. Our family of four stayed here specifically for the two large beds. The hotel's location isn't far from the MRT station. Haji Lane and BOSS HOTEL (the starting point for the Legoland shuttle) are all within walking distance, and there are many bus routes nearby, making transportation very convenient. There are plenty of food and drink options downstairs, and there's an Indian minimart across the street from the hotel that's much cheaper than the 7-Eleven down the block. I misplaced something and when I called, they immediately knew which room I was in and what I had lost, which shows excellent coordination between the front desk and housekeeping. Thumbs up for that!

The rooms were clean, comfortable, and practical for a short family getaway, and the overall design of the hotel felt bright and welcoming. One of the biggest highlights was the location. It was very convenient for exploring Sentosa, with easy access to attractions, dining options, and transport. This made travelling around with children much less tiring and stressful. The pool area was also a real plus for families, as the kids had a great time and it added to the holiday feel. The staff were generally helpful and pleasant, which made the stay smoother. Overall, Village Hotel Sentosa is a good choice for families looking for a fun, convenient, and comfortable staycation spot. We would be happy to return again.

Pros: Very close to VivoCity, just across the road (though you'll need to cross a few traffic lights). Other than that, there's not much else to write home about. The biggest problem is the excessive noise! The sound of vehicles (likely motorcycles) on the road at night is incredibly 'refreshing' – I've never had trouble sleeping before, but I was woken up multiple times. If you're a light sleeper, definitely avoid this place. The bed is also very high, so it's not suitable for seniors with mobility issues. The design of the bathroom and shower doors is quite odd, and the soundproofing in the room is terrible. Flushing the toilet in the middle of the night creates a very loud noise, which is disruptive to anyone else in the room.

You can fit a 20-inch suitcase on the table, but a 28-inch one would definitely have to go on the bed. However, the location is excellent! Turn right out of the hotel, and in less than 50 meters, maybe even just 30 meters, you're at Bencoolen MRT Station Exit A. Super convenient for getting around, thumbs up, it's truly fantastic!

I stayed at PARKROYAL COLLECTION Marina Bay during a solo business trip to Singapore, mainly because I had meetings near Marina Bay Sands. The hotel checked many boxes for me, especially its convenient location, Halal certified breakfast buffet and walking distance access to train stations. The reception area on Level 4 immediately left a strong impression. The interior is beautiful and filled with greenery, somewhat reminding me of Gardens by the Bay. It feels modern, relaxing and very photogenic / Instagrammable at the same time. I appreciated the convenience of online check in and check out. During check in, I was assisted by Yarik, who was extremely friendly and welcoming. He thoughtfully gave me a room facing Marina Bay Sands, which I truly appreciated. Thank you again, Yarik. The room itself was spacious for a solo traveller. Everything was very clean, and I really enjoyed the bathtub and toiletries provided. Another thing I loved was the coffee selection in the room. There were different coffee strengths available, from mild to very strong, which was perfect for someone like me who enjoys coffee a lot. I visited the hotel gym as well. It is not huge, but good enough for a basic workout. Since I am an Anytime Fitness (AF) member, I also walked to the nearby Suntec City AF branch, which was very convenient from the hotel. The location is excellent. Promenade MRT Station and Esplanade MRT Station are both within about five minutes’ walk, and the Merlion Park area is nearby too, making it easy for me to go jogging. Breakfast was fantastic with many choices. I especially loved the blended juice with ginger and cinnamon. On checkout day, although my late checkout request was initially declined by Lydia at the reception counter because the hotel was full, the team later managed to accommodate my request after I explained my situation. Thanks as well to Yi Quan for assisting during checkout. Overall, this hotel was amazing. I genuinely enjoyed the stay, especially the thoughtful service and the Halal certified breakfast buffet.

Marina Bay Singapore|1.49km dari pusat bandar
This was my second stay at Swissôtel, and perhaps because my first experience was so good, I skipped other options and rebooked. However, I encountered several issues this time. **Location:** It's right by Raffles, with a mall, supermarket, and subway station right below the hotel. The location gets a perfect 10/10. **Hotel Facilities:** They're decent and standard. The hotel is old but still well-maintained, and the air conditioning works great. **Room Condition:** The bedding hygiene was just so-so; I'd recommend bringing your own disposable linen set. The cleaning service was excellent, especially the lack of that unique post-cleaning scent often found in Southeast Asian hotels. The view, as pictured, is definitely worth it. **Breakfast:** This is where I have serious complaints. First, the variety was very limited, which is unacceptable for S$50 per person – a total rip-off. Second, items like the breakfast salmon, Japanese soba noodle sauce, and omelets were either not refilled after running out or had extremely long queues – another total rip-off. Finally, the breakfast service was non-existent; it was even exaggerated to the point where guests carrying breakfast plates had to make way for staff walking empty-handed. Absolutely terrible. **Summary:** For first-time visitors to Singapore, I still recommend this place because of its convenience. But for frequent visitors, I suggest comparing it with other hotels.

Hope we get to book marina view next time.The pool was big and my kids enjoy relaxing and swimming. The foot reflexology treatment was relaxing and comforting. Overall I'm delighted with my staycation from the moment we arrive, we were welcome and greeted by the bell attendant, front reception, even check out was smooth and till our departure the hotel staff hospitality has treated us well. On side note if room service food/halal breakfast spread is available would be added advantage for Muslim guests. 👍👍

What's really cool is that they offer coffee in paper cups, which is a nice touch! Also, there's a fully automatic robot that cooks noodles, and they taste pretty good – definitely worth trying if you like noodles! The hotel service was fantastic.

The staff outside are very enthusiastic about helping with taxis, and I didn't feel any discrimination based on skin color at all. The hotel itself is a tourist attraction in Singapore. The rooms are spacious, and the price is quite reasonable compared to similar hotels. There's a wide variety of breakfast options, and dining outdoors (though it can be a bit hot) offers absolutely stunning views. We were given a S$100 voucher but unfortunately didn't get to use it due to time constraints. Overall, our two-night stay was a great experience!

We had a very comfortable stay at Yotelair Singapore Changi Airport. The location is extremely convenient, especially for travellers with an overnight transit or early/late flight. The room was clean, compact, and well designed, with everything we needed for a short rest. Check-in and check-out were smooth, and the staff were helpful. It was a bit pricey, but very worth it for the convenience and comfort inside the airport. Highly recommended for transit travellers. 我们在新加坡樟宜机场 Yotelair 住得很舒服。地点非常方便，特别适合转机过夜或早晚班机的旅客。房间干净、空间虽然小但设计实用，短暂休息需要的东西都有。入住和退房都很顺利，工作人员也很帮忙。价格稍微偏高，但以机场内的便利和舒适度来说还是值得。很推荐给转机旅

Orchard Hotel Singapore

Orchard Road Singapore|3.93km dari pusat bandar
Location: Situated right in the heart of Orchard Road, it offers a great balance of being lively yet peaceful. It's not far from the subway station, and there's a supermarket right downstairs. Room Facilities: Overall pretty good, small but tidy, though the facilities are quite standard and the decor has a retro, vintage feel. Service: There was a very handsome Chinese front desk staff member who was incredibly patient and attentive. I stayed for an additional night, and he helped us arrange to stay in the same room, which was very thoughtful. Hotel Breakfast: The breakfast is fantastic, with a wide variety of delicious options! 👌🏻 You absolutely *must* try the homemade nasi lemak and all the different Indian curries – so incredibly tasty!
