Furama City Centre

The hotel in general is ok. The flush button came off but it is only a small problem. Breakfast is very nice!

All staff friendly and helpful. Hotel Furama near Chinatown is an excellent location for getting around. Great on a tight budget

I was very disappointed by this hotel. Let me give the pros first, then we can talk about the cons which are many and diverse but focus on one aspect mostly with many branches I guess. Pro: - the staff was kind and helpful to the best of their possibilities (limited probably by upper management? Just a guess) - the location is right I'm between Chinatown and Marina Bay area.. Definitely walkable distance from both (if you don't mind the weather and are a walker) - free bottle of wine (I don't drink alcohol) and little lion plushie (so cute!) as a free gift That's it. Now to the cons: - the furniture and structure is old.. An it shows. I guess if you come here expecting a high tier 4 star hotel as the Singapore hotel seem to be, you'll be heavily disappointed. Switches, wardrobe, carpets, safe, everything is clearly old - I originally got a business executive room (floor 20) and was so disappointed that I had to complain... It was definitely NOT on par with what I was paying. Admittedly this was during the F1 days so this makes thing a bit more reasonable since prices are crazy everywhere during those days, but I was staying here 10 days and it was not acceptable - after complaining the Staff kindly upgraded me to a premium room (floor 17) which was slightly better but still insufficient... This room admittedly had a very nice view on the city with a big window, and a nice cozy bath tub.. But that's about it, everything else is still true - I couldn't use the restaurant since I quickly passed by but the food wasn't too interesting to me so just went for a Korean BBQ nearby.. So that's up to you. There were people eating there and seemed satisfied though :) Overall if this was a 3 star hotel and way cheaper then I would have not complained, but again for the price and the category not enough for me.

The only positive aspect of this hotel is its location, right next to the Chinatown MRT. However, that’s where the positives end. I would strongly advise against booking this hotel due to the ongoing construction. We were completely unaware of the construction before booking (nor was it mentioned on the website), which made it quite disturbing. The construction was so loud that it felt as if it was right above our room on floor 9. As a courtesy, they should have upgraded our guests to a better room. Another issue is the room cleaning schedule. They only clean the rooms every three nights, which means your bin will be overflowing with rubbish and the room will stay dirty. This is not mentioned on the website or before booking. The rooms themselves are very dated and tired, far from the pictures on the website. There are yellow bath tubs, mouldy shower curtains, and fraying carpets, as seen in the attached pictures. The AC would not cool the room below 22 degrees as everything is so dated. For a better standard, I would book elsewhere.

Good location, walk distance to Chinatown and Clark quay. Close to MRT.
