Furama RiverFront Hotel, Singapore

HOTEL RATING: 7/10

Hello, my dear readers! (If I even have any.) I'm back with a new blog post, so sit back, read up, and do feel free to drop any comments at the bottom of this post! 

Overview

Today, I'll be talking about the Furama RiverFront Hotel in Singapore, and here's an overview of the place. So, this hotel is apparently a 4-star hotel that is an example of traditional architecture that was opened in 1973, and was then fully restored in 2008. It is situated on 405 Havelock Road, Singapore, and it is a 15-minute walk from the Chinatown MRT Station (North East Line a.k.a Purple Line). When walking in to the hotel lobby, you will be greeted by beautiful marble columns and a souvenir shop that is located in the hotel lobby itself.

So, I checked-in at this grand looking hotel on the 10th of October, 2015.

It was 316SGD for a 2 night stay in their Superior Room, and the price was inclusive of tax and service charge, which would mean that it would be RM942 after converting the currency to MYR at a 2.98 high. 

The Superior Room

The Superior Room or Double Room is a 30sqm room with a choice of either 2 single beds, or a double bed. The room looks exactly like the one shown below, and I got the room that overlooked the city. It was a pretty good view, I'd say. And right in front of the bed on the table is a flat-screen TV and a work desk that has ample space for you to do your work. A mini bar, a safe, a coffee & tea maker, and WiFi is provided as well.

The Bathroom

The Superior Room's bathroom surprisingly came with not only a standing shower, but a bathtub as well. A beautiful set of toiletries and a hair dryer is also provided on the spacious basin area. Since were's talking about spacious basin areas, hands down if you know someone who likes displaying all their toiletries on the counter, because I sure do know a few. Hahaha! 

The beautiful toiletries provided that I just couldn't get over how pretty they were

Below is a short video that I took of the room. It was actually supposed to be a Snapchat video for a friend of mine, but I thought that sharing it here would be a good idea as well to let you guys know what to expect from the place.

 I would rate this hotel a 7/10 because this hotel's location seems to be a little out of the way to many places, and the hotel's website could be updated with more pictures and information as it was a really pleasant surprise when I opened the door to the room because it was not at all like what I has pictured in mind based on the website. But apart from that, the concierge and the door keeper was really friendly and helpful. I hope this post has helped you narrow down your options if you're looking for a place to stay around Singapore! Till then. xx
