Singapore Singapore Hotels in CBD

Hi there

My boss is staying in Singapore for 3 days and needs to be close to the MRT station and/or near Orchard Road. I've done some research and found the following hotels:

- M Hotel
- The Fullerton
- Furama City Centre
- Amara Singapore

If possible, could someone please give me a review on these hotels and which one they would recommend he should to stay at?

Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Mandy

Furama City Centre is situated very close to Chinatown. Very conveniently situated near the Chinatown MRT, but requires a quick transfer at Dhoby Ghaut MRT to get to Orchard MRT. Only three stations between Chinatown and Orchard MRTs. Quick and easy.

I would rate Furama City Centre a solid 3 star, perhaps even a 3.5 star. The rooms are neat and tidy with mini fridge, TV, bathroom (including bath/shower) and the room service is good. The buffet breakfasts offer variety and are filling.

The Fullerton would be quite a step up from Furama in terms of luxury.

Hope this helps.

iF yor boss needs to be close to the MRT , check out the Grand Park City Hall, it has business executive rooms with own breakfast room and afternoon drinks included. The MRT is very close.

I am going to Singapore on 15th May and have booked the Swissotel Merchant Court, another good hotel, we are on holiday, but I rang them direct and received a very good rate on a Business Advantage room with view over river. They also have the Club rooms with breakfast and drinks package.

Good Luck,
Mike

We loved the Fullerton - definitely first class all the way. Unfortunately I cannot remember how close it was to the MRT - that wasn't one of requirements. :-)
