“Singapore SwissOtel, Clark Quay”
Great location. Wonderful Staff. I have stayed in 6 different hotels in Singapore, over the last 4 years, returning to many, but my first in this hotel. usually more expensive but my timing this time was good. 5+ quality on all aspects. breakfast buffet pricey, but this is Singapore. easy MRT access, and everything is accessible by reasonable priced taxi.
“Great Singapore deal top quality sensible price”
Excellent hotel well located centrally, just 5 minutes walk from Clarke Quay. Excellent deal through Expedia made it a great option. Didn't go to the pool so no comment on that.
“Swisshotel Merchant Court - Feb 2012”
Just a really lovely and well-situated hotel. The blue potatoe is particularly cool, as is the swimming pool and spa.
“Pleasurable stay by the Singapore River”
My wife and I have stayed at this Hotel several times over many years. We have always found it to be of high quality, because of its resort type facilities and its great location on the Singapore river, close to Clarke Quay, Chinatown and the MRT. Pool and gym are excellent. On our most recent visit, due to a malfunction of the shower in our room, within a few minutes of notifying reception of the problem, a member of the maintenance staff was at the door and after quickly assessing the problem, we were swiftly moved to a new room which was of a higher standard than the one we had reserved. Our thanks to the duty manager Colleen, and also to Management for the fruit platter we received for this minor inconvenience. Every staff member we encountered during our staff was outstanding. We would stay at the Merchant Court again.
“Singapore”
Geat hotel. Excellent location near Clarkes Quay. Would stay there again.
“Location, location, location”
Large, modern room, well maintained with great views - quiet
“What luxury after having spent 19 days in Vietnam”
What a superb location to stay for 4 nights as far as access to Clarke Quay is concerned and we enjoyed a leisurely walk from the hotel to Marina Bay Sands Hotel and back and it is quite easy to go to the shopping area of Orchard Road if you can afford the prices.
“Great location !! great hotel !!”
Great Hotel !! Great Location !! ... next to many restaurants and bars for day and night life The service at the hotel is very good ! My husband and I received a very nice surprice in our room since we were celebrating our anniversary =) The hotel is next to a very famous seafood restaurant named JUMBO, delicious chilli crab!
“Room with a view.”
Fantastic room with a view from our own balcony, rooms 390, 490 and 590 are the ones to get if you can. You have views in both directions of the river, excellent location for the local nightlife, although Clark Quay is outragiously expensive but you are close enough to walk down to Chinatown where the pricing is reasonable and the cusine excellent. Just be aware that the rooms I have mentioned are very close to a pedestrian bridge where lots of people and activities accumulate.......the noise will not make for a good nights sleep, they are sometimes still going at 0530. More deck chairs are also required for the pool area.
“Fantastic Facility”
Staff very friendly and helpful, room spacious, facilities were excellent, pool very inviting, although the gym was not used it looked well equipped. Our stay was very relaxing.
