“Great location, shame about the hotel”

Furama City Centre

Jun 13, 2008
2/2 found this review helpful

Reading through these reviews, I think I must be the only one who didn't get upgraded to an executive room on arrival! Instead I got a twin room on the fifth floor. First impressions were not good, as the porters were so keen to get a tip I virtually had to wrestle my luggage off them. Check in was pretty smooth though.

Up to the room then, and I thought I had taken a wrong turn - had to pass through some industrial-style metal double doors and down an unpainted corridor with cardboard boxes lining the floor. I thought I had entered a staff only area, but apparently not.

The room itself was a decent size, but disappointing in quality. This is supposed to be one of the best hotels in Singapore, but I found the room to be more motel-style than a luxury hotel standard. It was clean, but very basic. No mini-bar, old-style TV with only a few uninspiring channels, no pay-TV, no bath, shower was lukewarm at best. The in-room safe was not working. In-room broadband is available, but rather exorbitantly priced. Luckily with the government of Singapore providing free city-wide WiFi, there's really no need to pay for internet use.

Breakfast is expensive, but you get it free if you stay 3 or more nights. Just as well, if I had paid I would have complained, as it was easily the worst I have ever eaten at a high-class hotel. Ended up skipping the other days.

On the positive side, it does have a superb location - on the edge of Chinatown, just across the road from an MTR subway station, and just 10 minutes walk to the oh-so-trendy nightlife area of Clarke's Quay, where you can sip overpriced drinks with the rich and beautiful at glamorous riverside venues that rival any in London or New York.

So, motel-style luxury, but a great location made up for it. Just. Wouldn't stay again.

    • Liked — Great location
    • Disliked — Very sub-standard accommodation for the price. Decent, but certainly not luxury.

“Good stay!”

Furama City Centre

Jun 4, 2008

Stayed at Furama City Centre for 2 nights. Booked Deluxe Room but was upgraded to Executive Club room upon arrival. Very nice, clean and comfortable room, exactly same with the photos shown at their website site. Breakfast was ok but would prefer more varieties. Location is very good as it's very near (less than 3 minutes walk) to MRT station and a lot of restaurants at nearby area. The only thing I dislikes about this hotel is that they don't allow late check-out. My flight was at 9pm and I have requested for a late check-out, about 1-2 hours extra but was rejected. Overall, I am very satisfied with my stay at this hotel.

Stayed for 3 nights. We had booked a standard room but on arrival, there wasn't any available so the staff upgraded us to an executive room on the top floor (score!) The room is a bit on the small side but it is Singapore after all. The amenties were all there, flat screen, hot showers, comfortable beds, etc. Can't beat the location either-- it was super close to the subway. Would definitely stay again.

“Enjoyable Stay”

Furama City Centre

Booked a superior room for a friday and saturday night online , prior to boarding an overnight train in KL for Singapore. Got a S$4.00 cab from the Main Train Station to the hotel, which was close to China Town, MRT Train Station. the esplanade, and heaps of shopping malls. Reception staff were very friendly and efficient, immediately upgraded us to an executive room on the 19th floor, previous reviews say that the rooms were tatty, etc, but this unit had all the mod cons, including free all you like broadband, and use of the executive lounge, pool, and gym. It was clean and tidy, 32 LCD TV etc. To be honest , this unexpected bonus was a very pleasant surprise, we immediately booked another superior room online for another two days and again were upgraded to the 19th floor. The school holidays had just started, the hotel like many others in singapore were near full, also start of the Singapore Super Sale a two month promotion by the local Business Community that draws customers from surrounding areas, especially Malaysia, not to mention the thousands of other tourists like ourselves. Pool and gym were ok, lots of guests were using the facilities. The hotel centre shopping complex on the ground floor was undergoing renovations, but this did not cause any disruptions. Did not see evidence of package tour groups, guests were mainly middle class business and family groups. Never got to eat at the hotel, so many
inexpensive local eateries right outside, china town as well as little india. Orchid road , a great place to shop, but there are also heaps of cheaper shopping malls, markets and plazas scattered across Singapore, we only regret that our stay was not long enough to truly experience all there is to do in this magnificent place.

Our overall experience of Furama Centre City..... "Awesome Location, great service, xtra value", all the staff, including maids, spoke very good english, and always had a smile on their dial, but do as we did, book thru the many online accommodation websites, can not guarantee an upgrade but I am sure the superior and deluxe rooms are just as well appointed.

The Furama was fantastic. I stayed with my mother on a 3 day stopover on way to London. The room was all brand new looking and immaculate. The staff were very accommodating and helpful. Would definitely go back there and recommend it to others.
