My husband and I stayed at level 26 Tower 1 of the hotel for two nights. It seemed that our room had been renovated since our last visit in April 2026. The furniture and mattress were new, and the new wardrobe had been relocated next to the bed instead of being behind the room entrance. The dressing table was smaller than before, but we didn't mind the minor changes. Overall, the room was clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The hotel staff were polite, friendly, and cleaned our room promptly each day. The only downside was that the guests in the adjoining room returned around 3:00 a.m. and were making a lot of noise. As there was a connecting door between the rooms, we could hear them quite clearly, which unfortunately interrupted our sleep. The soundproofing between the connecting rooms could be improved to minimise noise disturbances and provide a better night's rest.

The Amari Hotel in Johor Bahru is located in a very strategic and convenient area. Most major facilities and shopping complexes are within a 10‑minute walking distance, making it easy to access food, retail, and entertainment without needing transportation. Cleanliness: Overall, the hotel maintains good cleanliness standards. However, some moss can still be found on the windows, especially those facing the swimming pool. Despite this minor issue, the general cleanliness of the hotel is satisfactory. Internet Connection: The Wi‑Fi connection is not stable. It frequently disconnects, which can be inconvenient for guests who rely on a steady internet connection. Parking: Parking is not free. Guests are charged RM12 per day with multiple entry allowed. However, parking is complimentary if the booking is made directly with the hotel.

At least 8 out of 10 starts for this experience. Pros: Excellent location, right above the R&F mall. Kitchen is complete with adequate kitchenware. Comfortable stay for a 1-bedroom apartment. Felt very cosy (attached photo). Easy enough to check in and out following whatsapp directions for the mailbox. Customer service was responsive with my questions. Also the price for 1 night was excellent at only about $61 SGD, and this seems to be the cheapest among all 1 bedroom offerings on Trip.com for R&F Princess Cove. Cons: On a minor note, air-conditioner in the living room was a bit loud (some noise) but otherwise worked fine. I did not use the oven in the kitchen but there was a sign saying it was not to be used. The most unfortunate part of the stay was small bugs/cockroaches in the kitchen/toilet area, I otherwise would have given it a 10/10 for my stay there. I don't believe it is a hygiene issue though as the rooms were observed to be clean, not sure where the bugs are coming from but there is spray provided.

Each train has a limited capacity of approximately 320 passengers, which contributes to high demand and frequent sell-outs. The service operates on a fixed schedule, offering little flexibility for travellers who require spontaneous or last-minute travel options. In addition, passengers must adhere to strict boarding procedures, including arriving early to complete immigration and security checks.

Limitation

Description

Limited Capacity

Approximately 320 seats per train

High Demand

Tickets sell out quickly, especially during peak periods

Fixed Schedule

Great location! There's an MRT station not too far from the hotel, and the Singapore River is right behind it. You can walk about 1.5 km along the river to Clarke Quay, and even reach the National Gallery. The room itself was quite spacious, and I appreciated having purified drinking water. Personally, I'm not a fan of bathtubs, and the tissues disintegrated too easily when wet, which was a bit inconvenient. However, the hotel breakfast was excellent and had a great variety.

Booked for 2 adults and 1 child. The room was quite spacious with two 1-meter beds. The front desk staff, who I think was an Indian gentleman, asked if it was our first time in Singapore and what we thought of it. I told him it was our first time and we found it very clean and tidy, but I couldn't express more in English. Seeing that our child was tall, the gentleman kindly offered us an extra bed for free, saying it would help the mother rest well at night. Our whole family was very grateful for his thoughtful gesture. Although our child ultimately chose to share a bed with mom, not needing the extra bed, we still appreciate the gentleman's kindness. It showed us the humane side of this city, and we look forward to visiting Singapore again next time we have the chance.

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.

I booked this hotel with a lot of trepidation, as I saw many negative reviews and debated for a long time. I'm not a shill, but I'll share my experience this time. We had a sea-view room. The bathroom was genuinely enormous, which really lifted my spirits. The golden view was absolutely stunning, especially at night, with Marina Bay Sands, the Merlion, St. Andrew's Cathedral, and the Singapore Flyer all perfectly visible. The bed was also comfortable, and my initial anxieties just melted away. There were certainly downsides. The air conditioning was genuinely loud. For someone sensitive to noise, it might be a bit hard to tolerate. But for those who aren't sensitive to sound and just crash after a long day of sightseeing, it's not an issue – like my family, who didn't notice the AC noise at all and found it perfectly acceptable. I, however, am very sensitive to sound. The toilet paper was also genuinely not good; I ended up buying my own from the supermarket. So, overall, for me, the pros outweighed the cons. I later read many reviews, and it seems the sea-view rooms might genuinely be better than other room types, for instance, being in the South Tower and not having connecting rooms. These are all my personal opinions, for reference only. I'm someone who really dislikes writing reviews, but since traveling abroad isn't easy and I agonized over choosing a hotel for over a month, I've been through the struggle, and I don't want you to go through the same dilemma.

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.

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.
