“Great Location”
Location, Location, Location!!! this is a good hotel in a great location.
“Excellent value in central position”
Very comfortable large rooms. Close to all Clarkson Quay activities and metro stop. Staff freindly and courteous. Provision of facilitiesfor after checkout for those catching late night long flight to UK and needing a change into warmer gear and a freshen up greatly appreciated.
“Very Good City Break”
Great location, right on MRT line and Clarke Quay entertainment complex. On the cusp of Chinatown and central to the other sights. Very courteous and friendly staff and a highly recommended stay at Swissotel.
“Location, Quality, convenience”
Very convenient location to everywhere. Room is clean and comfortable.
“Nice but expensive”
Very nice hotel with large rooms and nice pool, but on the expensive side, especially if you want to add WiFi or breakfast.
“Bad quality in great location”
The good: - Location is great for dining around the river where you find a lot of restaurants withon walking distance The BAD: - the price was too way too high as it was same as Ritz Carlton etc that are much better hotels - old hotel need refurbishing - small rooms
“Very good”
got the huge room this time at the end of the hotel overlooking the river
“"Will Most Definitely Return"”
I was was totally impressed by the hotel. The staff were all very friendly and the service was prompt, sprinkled with friendliness and professionalism. It was also located strategically. There were lots of things to see and one can never claim to be bored. I will most definitely return and recommend this hotel to everyone. Thank You Swissotel Merchant Court for making our stay in Singapore so pleasurable and unforgettable.
“Mediocre”
Not exciting and expensive for such mediocrity
“Great Holiday and Business Hotel”
Stayed here for the Singapore Grand Prix, and for a 5 days beforehand to see Singapore. Great location for the GP, short 10 minute walk around the river. Good location near Clarke quay for bars and restaurants, and access to the MRT. Lively location, but not noise rooms, particularly if you have one atthe back as we did. Great buffet breakfast range, full Asian and European fare. Friendly staff, exceptionaly quick housekeeping service - our room was usually madeup while we were at breakfast. Pool area is nice, but a little small and can get crowded. Fort Canning Hill is a short stroll away for a green oasis in the city.
