We arrived in Singapore from Europe. No hotel booked. Found this in the Tripadvisor "bible" and booked it at last minute rates. Stayed 4 nights and were sad to leave. Not too ritzy; just relaxing. Great position in the heart of everything. It's big and has all the 5 star facilities but the clever horseshoe shape and low rise give it a protected intimate feel. Floating in the pool with it's endless edge overlooking the Singapore skyline was magnificent. Didn't have our kids with us this time but it would be excellent for that.
As you'd expect, food and bev at poolside is a killer but nice for something special....certainly better than Jumbo Seafood on the river (avoid at all costs!)

My husband and I stayed at this hotel on a three night stoppover on our way to Vietnam from Perth. One of our friends recommended this hotel from their previous stay, and I must admit I was very happy with the choice. I am usually a travellor that tries to stay at hotels under AUS$100 p/n no matter where I travel but I was very happy with the decision to increase my budget for the three nights. The room was fantastic with lovely views overlooking Clarke Quay, the service was excellent & the buffet breakfast had more than enough choices to keep even the most fussy eaters happy.

The staff were very helpful & caring which showed when my husband had a small accident in the hotel swimming pool. They immediately attended to him bringing out the first aid kit & trying to talk him into seeing a doctor (which we declined, we did not feel was necessary as the injury was only minor).

The only down side to our visit was that construction of the Central shopping complex next door was being completed during our stay so was very noisy when we went onto the balcony to admire the views. However this was not enough to spoil our stay. I would consider staying here if I have a stoppover in Singapore again.

I have stayed at this hotel at least once every year from 1997 to 2007. Having stayed at 4 other Hotels in Singapore, I find this to be the best of all. The location is excellent, right opposite Clarke Quay with all the restaurants, which by the way has changed considerably since my 1st stay. Close to ChinaTown, and only a short distance from Boat Quay. A short ride in the free Shuttle, or a very inexpensive taxi ride to Orchard Rd, make it ideal for getting to do your shopping. The service in the Hotel, I found each time to be excellent, along with the all the facilities. The Buffet Breakfast, leaves nothing to be desired, with a mix of Eastern and Western dishes. The Staff have always been very accommodating and courteous.
After staying in some hotels in the UK, it was a great relief to return to spacious rooms.
On return trips to Singapore, i will most definitely always choose this Hotel.

I have been to Singapore on business before and am a very experienced world traveler. I wanted to show my wife Asia for the first time. I selected this hotel based on TripAdvisor reviews for quality, location, and value--we stayed 8 nights and WERE VERY HAPPY WITH THIS HOTEL. We had a very modern "Swiss Business Advantage" room that looked like it was very recently remodeled. Hotel staff was excellent and room nice, quiet, and great bed and AC. Coffe/tea in room and daily English newspaper & cable TV. Location is super for a tourist. Cabs always available at door, subway (MRT) stop across the street in Central urban shoping center. Probably over 100 resturants within 4 blocks at Clarke Quay, Boat Quay, Central, other shopping malls, Riverfront--all price ranges and cusines. Small 7/11 near for snacks, beer, soda. Mini-bar fridge in room. Busy, happy, hot, tiring days ended at a beautiful swim at rooftop pool. I used hotel business center computer for email--good quality and reasonable price. We found plenty to do sightseeing Singapore for 7 full days. My wife loved the trip and we would like to do again in future.
