Are you looking for Furama city centre reviews? You are in the right place! Not only that I have also included brief review about staying in their sister hotel, Furama Riverfront.
I was lucky to visit Singapore again for the 2nd time and stayed at the iconic Furama City Centre and Furama Riverfront. Both hotels are within the walking distance of 10-15 minutes from each other and situated in the heart of the vibrant Chinatown area, it’s in a great location and within walking distance to the CBD, and Riverside MRT. Bus services are close by and Taxi stands just outside the door too.
Singapore is a modern city with the headquarters of many Multinational Companies, rich culture, long-standing history, delicious food, and picture perfect setting of the background contrast between the old temples and the new modern buildings. One of the Asian country with architecture and skyscrapers that are better designed and impressive. Hope you saw Singapore Stories on my Instagram.

Check-in at Furama city center
It was a rainy morning when I landed around 3:30 am Singaporean time. Walked into the taxi rank and went straight to the hotel. I had confirmed a few days earlier if it was okay to check-in at 4 am and the answer was positive. So, little tired after 8 hours flight I was looking forward to the comfy bed and the executive premier room. I noticed there was a construction happening for Tiffany restaurant at the hotel but the Colorful pretty reception area made up for it. Check in was quick and the staffs were smiley and welcoming.
Executive Premier Room
A little cute teddy bear, personalized welcome note and good looking macrons were waiting for me in the room! I was pleased with the welcome and happy to report that the mattress wasn’t too hard or too soft, just in between, Pillows were 2 soft ones and 2 hard ones each and everything was clean. The room also had a gorgeous view of Singapore Flyer, Esplanade Theatre, Art Science Museum and more.





Buffet Breakfast at Furama city center
Next morning, I head to the executive lounge for breakfast (7-10am) and there were many varieties on buffet breakfast but you can also order Al la carte from the menu. I had teriyaki salmon with a sunny-side-up egg, toast, and a flat white. Food was tasty but coffee can be improved. I am a heavy coffee drinker back home in Sydney and know the good coffee from the bad. The flat white here didn’t taste like the actual flat white. Barista coffee would have been great but the staffs’ politeness and friendliness made up for it. After breakfast, I was out to explore Singapore.

Evening Happy Hours
In the evenings 6-8pm, you can attend a happy hour in the same executive lounge. I was expecting just a couple of drinks but was impressed to see the hotel had many varieties of snacks, desserts and drinks available for guests. It was clear that the Furama Hotel is generous and is doing everything to make sure guests have the best time at the hotel.
Breakfast
The next morning, I tried more of the food and fresh fruits at the breakfast buffet. I must say, it was great to try the local’s favourite breakfast hoikkan noodles, salmon, dim sum and more. I changed the coffee order to Cappucino and it was slightly better than flat white the day before.
Window View
After exploring all day out in humidity, the bathtub was a perfect setting to wind down and relax. The view from the window is unbeatable and breathtaking day or night. It really does gives you that Singaporean vibes. It was a relaxing way to end the day before bed but one thing I add here is- if you must have bath bubbles then this won’t work for you as the hotel doesn’t offer bath bombs. So, I had to use the shampoo and as you can see it didn’t have the same effect but it was enjoyable nonetheless.
Swimming Pool and facilities
Furama City centre also boasts a swimming pool, massage at the Spa, free parking, laundry, dry cleaning facilities and FREE WIFI throughout the property. You can also work out at the fitness centre, currency exchange and car rental services are also available for guests. And before I forget you can also enjoy the daily Hot & Cold beverage (7-23pm) for FREE in the executive lounge. I 100% recommend Furama city Centre if you are a convenience person like I am. I would rather pay more and stay in a modern decor, room with a magnificent view and mainly where it is easy to move around than a far away places and waste time on commuting. Furama City centre is right in the heart of the city centre but with no noise pollution in the rooms and is a perfect spot to start exploring Singapore.
FURAMA Riverfront Review, Singapore
Now, the second night I checked in to Furama Riverfront. Hotel Address: 405 Havelock Road, Robertson Quay, 169633 Singapore Room Type: Premium Room Furama Riverfront is located between the colourful Chinatown and . If you would like to experience both hotels then it is only 15 minutes walk from the Furama City Center to the Furama Riverfront hotel. As the name suggests, the hotel sits along the river banks of and you can walk along the river to the
Evening Cocktail hours
After exploring all day, I arrived late in the afternoon but just before the tail end of happy hour. Furama Riverfront’s happy hour also runs from 6-8pm. The best thing about it was they had even more varieties and options for snack covering larger space than Furama City Centre and beautiful decor added to the vibe as well.

Premium Room
After the delicious snacks and well aged old French wine, I headed to my room and got pleasantly surprised with the chocolate covered strawberries, tasty cake and personalized welcome note! My room even had a lovely little courtyard and direct access to the swimming pool as it was on the same level. All my tiredness faded away, as I discover every corner of the room and was happy to see “handy” again in this room.


Breakfast/ Room service
The next morning, it was time for my favourite meal of the day. Breakfast! Furama Riverfront breakfast covers international buffet that includes Chinese and American cuisine. But this morning I ordered room service to see how fast and efficient it was. I am glad to report the service was smooth and the food came to my room within 20mins! Impressive how quick the service was and the breakfast was one of the best I’ve had in Singapore.
Swimming Pool and Amenities
After tummy full of goodness, it was time to utilize the outdoor swimming pool. The best thing about this pool was they had the floating unicorns and that it was only 3 steps away from my room!
The same level as the pool was the well-equipped gym open for guests. And if you needed Laundry and dry cleaning services, that were also available. Furama Riverfront also boasts the Kintamani Indonesian Restaurant that serves authentic Halal Indonesian cuisine. For international dishes, you can visit The Square@Furama. Then at the Waterfall Lounge, you can have drinks and enjoy the live entertainment.
Thank you Furama City Center and Furama Riverfront especially each and every team member for your effort to make my stay an amazing one. I can’t wait to be back!
You can book your stay on their direct website here.
Conclusion
I believe it’s the people who make the company great and in my experience, it has been true in all instances. I could see that staffs at Furama were well looked after and they loved doing their work. They are the power behind the smooth operation of the hotel.

Furama City Centre reviews and Furama Riverfront Hotel, Singapore Review
Wow! This sounds like a fantastic place to stay! I am actually on vacation in Singapore at the moment – enjoying every moment of this vibrant city. Thank you for sharing your experiences!
Love your images. Glad I found your blog through instagram. I was confused between these 2 hotels but now I know which one I will book for my trip to Singapore next month ??
wow this hotel looks amazing!
I have never been to Singapore. If I do it next year. Gonna be there. Thanks for ur detail descriptions
Those views are EVERYTHING!!!
This is an absolutely stunning hotel! I would stay here for the mobile phone with free data alone, using a cell phone to find one’s way around a foreign place can eat up the data and add up very quickly! The sunset view is amazing, what a deluxe place, love all the sweet extras here!!
Whoa! The hotel, your review, the precious pictures are a combination of awesomeness. Loved reading it.
Wow! About the handy phone really?! That is such a great idea! As always when I am abroad I keep using my mobile data to get somewhere !
These photos are stunning and that food looks delish!
Beautiful hotel thanks for sharing your review
wow, what a beautiful place to stay! you really covered everything, right down to the pool!
I could die for that bathtub/view! Absolutely stunning ?
The hotel looks gorgeous and I love the amazing view! It’s so cute that they added a teddy bear as a welcoming.
Ooooo now that looks like one fabulous hotel!!! I would love to visit Singapore one day!
That architecture is amazing. The views and rooms are soooo cool. I would love to visit someday.
The Furama looks like an impressive hotel! The swimming pools and food is amazing! Love the unicorn float!
Oh dear this Furama looks impressive! I would love to visit it soon!
Thanks for sharing your experience. Overall, it seems like a great place to stay with many amenities. That view from the hotel is amazing.
I have just had the misfortune of stayins at the Forama City Centre Hotel last week. My room looked nothing like the rooms advertised on thier website. The room smelt very old and musty and mouldy. It had a very old and stained bath with a hand held shower. They provided an old perished rubber mat that looked far from being clean and an old unwashed shower curtain.The room had was shabby and judging by the decore, had not had anything modernised since the 1970s. There was mould in the corners of the ceiling and around the air conditioner. The service was very poor and did not see one staf member smile. The hotel is a disgrace.i would never stay there again and certainly not recommend it to anyone.
I’m sorry it happened to you! My blog post was based on my experience last year. It is never nice when this happens, did you try contacting the hotel directly when you were there? They probably could have done something to make your stay much better?
