  • Stayed in this hotel for >2 weeks in 2004 and I got a club level room. It worked out to be around $95/night, with breakfast, 2 pc laundry and club room access.
    Room was in superb condition and service, as expected, was excellent.

    The hotel is located at one end of Clarke Quay. You get to walk to the bars and restaurants located there, and also there's an MRT about 2 minute walk from the lobby which means easy access to pretty much the whole country.

    Copthorne Kings Singapore: Great value for money   Check Rates

  • Away from the touristy Orchard Road and the glitzy Central Business District the Copthorne Kings is situated in a quiet corner of the Singapore river.

    Rooms are spacious and clean; amenities are ample and they provide free shuttle to Orchard Road (it's about 10 minutes bus ride). I enjoyed walking along the river in the morning and catching the subway at Clarke Quay.

    Unless you need to be close to the CBD you will enjoy their favourable rates and with the abundance of taxi's in Singapore I never had any problem getting into CBD in time.

    Le Meridien Singapore: A very nice surprise

  • Conveniently located at one end of Orchard road, Singapore's shopping paradise, and unimpressive from the outside the Le Meridien was a very nice surprise.

    Inside the hotel is luxurious, rooms are spacious with very good amenities and the breakfast buffet is delightful. What surprised me the most (in a positive way) is for a hotel that is located on Orchard, one of if not the busiest street in Singapore, once you are inside you do not get bothered with the hubbub outside.

    Due to its proximity to both Sommerset and Dhoby Gaut subway stations this hotel has easy access to all the tourist spots you need so see in Singapore.
