Talking about service, i already travel to all continents, yet hard to find the hospitality like Jackie and Henry at RiverCityInn Singapore. I always feel like i am in the middle of a family. And the location of the property is absolutely strategic, just few steps to Clarke Quay the place to eat, drink or hang out !

Absolutely loved my stay at River City Inn--used Singapore as my base point between traveling to and from Malaysia and Indonesia, and stayed at River City Inn every time I was back in Singapore. The staff was extremely friendly, and also helpful in providing sightseeing tips. There's a nice couch/lounge area where you can easily meet other travelers. Thanks so... More
