The hotel has very small rooms, once we put our 2 suitcases in the room there was very little room to move around.

The hotel is about a 10 minute walk to the nearest MRT station (MRT), along some very busy roads.

We will be visiting Singapore again but we won't be staying at this hotel again!

THIS HOTEL IS BRILLIANT!!!

I and my partner stayed here for a 2 night stop over and all I can say is that I wish we had longer here cos this place is brilliant.

This was our first trip to Singapore and I wasn’t really sure what we were going to find.
We arrived at ‘THE COPTHORNE KINGS’ at approximately 7.30am after a long flight from the UK. Check in time was not until 2pm but the staff saw to it that we could get changed and freshen up and then left our bags with the porter who was extremely helpful.

The reception staff were really friendly and super helpful and nothing was too much trouble for them. I wish every hotel was like this…

When we eventually got back and were shown to our room, they had upgraded us to a superior room at no extra cost as they were suffering a busy period. The room that we were given was beautiful and gave us panoramic views of Singapore which has to be seen at night to fully appreciate its glory…

The room came complete with a T.V and refrigerator/mini bar, along with the nicest bed and softest linen/pillows…

The bathroom was to die for with large sink/basin and a wonderful power shower. The room cam equipped with air con that was an absolute god send when you have tramped the streets and shops all day in the humid heat.

The hotel boasts award winning cuisine, however, I have to confess that we didn’t eat there as there were far too many nice restaurants in various parts of the city that we were so desperate to try out. I can concur with other tripadvisor reports that the restaurant was always packed full, morning and night.

For breakfast we went across the footbridge directly outside the hotel and went and sat by the river every morning at a quaint little place called ‘SIMPLY BREAD’ it is exactly what is says on the tin… but the bread is baked there fresh daily and is to die for.. Mmmmm there coffee is also out of this world…

At night we chose to walk it to the lively parts including boat quay and Clarke quay which are only a stone throw from the hotel. ‘THE COPTHORNE KINGS’ is not situated directly in the heart of it all, but to be honest I liked that and thought that its location was perfect. We walked it to town each morning and got a taxi back, make sure you get a proper marked taxi and it will only cost you roughly £2 English pounds…

The pool, steam room and sauna proved invaluable to me to have a cool off in an afternoon before hitting the streets again for the night session. There was never anyone in the pool or using any of the other facilities which was kind of nice as I had it all to myself.

If there is anything else you want to know about ‘THE COPTHORNE KINGS’ then please ask and I will try my utmost to assist..

If you are planning a trip to Singapore I highly recommend staying at ‘THE COPTHORNE KINGS’
Singapore is one of the best cities that I have ever visited and I will return sometime soon cos there is so much to see and do. When we return we will without a shadow of a doubt be staying at ‘THE COPTHORNE KINGS’ it only cost us £40 per night for the both of us… now that’s a bargain… :-)

Our family of four stayed at this hotel for two nights end November 2006. After a long flight we were able to get one room early for check in which was a great help. We were able to freshen up and leave our luggage in the room. Whilst the rooms were small they were comfortable, especially the beds! We found the service good and ate at the buffet one night, it was packed with local people and had won some awards - we enjoyed it very much and got a discount with our Singapore Air boarding tickets. The hotel had a lovely pool, steam room and sauna which we used to relax and cool down. Whilst the hotel is in a quieter area it was easy to get to and the Hop on bus departed from the hotel next door. We loved Singapore and will definitely be back.

we upgraded to the corner room, which had a lovely view and lovely room, the bathroom was very spacious, the bed was nice and comforable.
location is ok, nothing near here a taxi to orchard road will cost $4 singapore dollors, outside the hotel next door the miramar you can catch the city buzz service wich we did to see most of the tourist sights. the buffet in the hotel is ok but expensive.
the jaccuzi is gorgeous, nice pool and garden. the hotel has a free shuttle bus service to orchard rd and chinatown.
