Although by no means new,this hotel has been kept in good condition and has a sizeable lobby and rooms in two towers. Although I requested a non smoking room and had stayed there a number of times previously (so it should have been in my guest history), I was given a key to a smoking room. However, the duty manager sorted it out quickly and gave me a complimentary upgrade to the next room category.
The rooms are reasonably spacious with a large double bed and proper cotton sheets and comfortable mattress. The bathroom includes a bath.
It is reasonably convenient by taxi for both Orchard road area and the city being to the south of the Singapore River. The MTR is a good 10 minute walk away and there are no attractions in the exact locality.
The Waterfall lounge offers happy hour drinks from about 3pm.
The pool is between the two wings and loses sun quite early.
For the price, it represents good value with good quiet rooms and a convenient location. The doormen are particularly helpful. Their sister hotel, Furama City, is better placed for the MTR and some of the rooms which have recently been renovated are better but overall it has more of a 3* rather than 4* feel and I prefer Riverside.More
