"Overall good value for business"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 25, 2013
I was very pleased with the hotel and value for the money. Compared to the other high profile hotels, it was a very good price for the quality.
"Great Location"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 25, 2013
The hotel is in a perfect location. It has nice rooms although the room that I was in, the air conditioning was not working properly. The pillows also need changing. Otherwise the hotel was great.

"Cool Place to stay"
Excellent location in Clarke Quay, very nice decor in the hotel. staff very helpful and very nice, nothing was too much trouble to them. the whole hotel is spotlessly clean.. Crockery at breakfast in dire need of replacing, cups dirty, & plates, bowls ect cracked and chipped, breakfast bar area far too congested,Genuine Expedia guest review
"Comfortable hotel with an ideal location"
The main selling point of this hotel is its central location... very close to Clarke Quay, adjacent to the MRT station exit B. It's convenient to walk along the Singapore River, visit the Colonial district and go to Chinatown. There also is a shopping Mall right across the street. The room itself was spacious and comfortable. I would recommend the […] business advantage package for this hotel, it's a bit pricier but it includes complimentary (wired) internet. Wifi, however, is available for a surcharge and can be quite costly. The amenities were typical of a 4-star hotel. For sure, the hotel was nothing too pretty, I personally found the contemporary "Swiss" design of the rooms a bit odd and slightly tired. Likewise, while the service is certainly professional, it's nothing special either. In conclusion, I would definitely recommend this hotel for its ideal location and solid standards.

"bad price/quality ratio. NOT impressed"
check in took very long and when entered the room, only 2 small seperate beds as usual where in the room, while we clearly asked for 2 large beds for 2 adults and 2 young children! it took again 1 hour to arrange this. Bad price quality ratioGenuine Expedia guest review

"Good Hotel In Singapore"
The Hotel is in a great location since the MRT station is very close. There are many good places to eat that are very close also. The Hotel was very clean and well taken care of and maid service was perfect. I have stayed at many other Hotels in Singapore but Merchant Court is by far the best. One little inside not is that if you want a market there […] is a good one under the Novetel. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"Best Hotel on Clark Quay"
The Merchant court Swissotel is my fav hotel in all of Singapore. Its always clean, in a great location for both young professionals through to famalies. Via expedia you can always find a deal (no not a cash for comment). Not much you can say, its not a budget hotel so you kind of know what your getting unlike a few other 4star places up the road. One […] recomendation, forgot the taxi's, simply grab A backpack and a daily travel pass, and get lost in Singapore. Hit then Chinese markets up smith street (short walk away towards Chinatown). Eat on the side streets soak up the lifestyle. Night time, its extremely safe, to the point where I let my kids walk about (safer then Sydney) in Clarke Quay. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Great location"
I have visited Singapore a number of times and stayed at vairious higher end hotels (Ritz, Marriot, etc) and had elected to book in the executive floors. Though the rooms were small, the quality of furnishings, the executive lounge, pool, hot tub were all exceptional. Best of all is that you are right off the quays and so tons of restaurants and night […] life. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"Worth every cent."
The hotel in great position close to public transport and restaurants,Staff were excellent, could not do enough for us .Executive floor worth the extra cost ,will definately stay again.Genuine Expedia guest review
When we first checked in, we were put on the 2nd floor in a room that was fine, but was right across from the pool. We were concerned about potential noise, so we asked if we could get a quieter room, and we got an immediate free upgrade to the 7th floor, which had more spacious rooms and better amenities. It was also quieter since it was not by the […] pool and was further removed from street noise. Awesome. It's also closer to the Business Executive floor, so you can get some free wifi close to the window. We were really happy about this upgrade. The Merchant Court is right next to the Clarke Quay MRT station, and also next to a mall with a small supermarket and food court -- very convenient. We also took a shuttle to the Night Safari that was only SIN$4 each way. It was great and saved us about 1 hour each way of commuting time. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Swissotel Singapore - More Like a 2 Star Hotel"
When I checked-in, a king bed was not available as I reserved. The staff was arrogant and unapologetic for the inconvenience. I even offered to change rooms the next day and was told that no king beds were available at all and they really didn't care as they were booked full and making a ton of money last weekend. The rooms were old, they needed updating […] and my refrigerator did not work. For the price I paid for this 4 star hotel during the Singapore Formula 1 Race weekend I was not impressed. This is the first AND last time I will sleep in a Swissotel. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Swissotel Merchant Court was centralized to all the activities"
Swissotel Merchant Court was perfectly situated by the Clarke Quay, river, restaurants, train station, shopping mall and all of the activities. Hotel was well-maintained and the service was outstanding. It is next to the river, mall, and all the good restaurants are within a couple of minutes walking distance. The hop-in hop-off city tour bus stop was […] a 5 minute walk away. There is even a 7-11 convenience store right next to the hotel. It is perfectly situated hotel in the middle of all of the activities. I would strongly recommend for anyone who is not familiar with Singapore to stay at this hotel since it is in the middle of everything. I would definitely come back to this hotel on my next trip. For the travelers that requires internet access, be sure to upgrade to the package with internet included. Otherwise, you may pay an arm and a leg for it. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
Great customer service from the staff and location for easy access to the rest of the city. Close to MRT and many restaurants/bars. Only problem was placed in a room with 2 twins and could not change until the next day.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"A good hotel at one of best location in Singapore"
Located in one of the best spot in Singapore. The Central Shopping Mall, Clarke Quay restaurants, night spots and MRT station are just outside the hotel. Very very convenient location.Genuine Expedia guest review
nice hotel, not new, but well kept. one negative side is there is no free internet connection in classic room.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Swissotel Merchant Court, NOT FOUR STAR HOTEL"
Not a hotel that should get FOUR star rating. more like 2-2.50 star. After complaining a room magically showed up. They changed our room and the next room was a little better but the TV was in the same odd position, could not lay in bed and watch TV.. They had two big towels, no robes, and two small face towels. The furniture was really cheap looking […] and terrible. The sink did not drain, the bath tub was very dirty, and the shower head would turn to the side when the water was increased and you would be under it and then it would shoot water at the curtains. The water spilled out the side of the bath into the hallway and I almost broke my neck. The water would never turn hot...so we took cold showers. They gave us a new room once we got the manager up in our room, but they would not even comp our first night....the last room was just ok...NOT A FOUR STAR HOTEL....more like 2-2.50. If you are from the USA, please don't pay attention to star rating, because it is totally false. This hotel is more like Motel 6. Very very unimpressive lobby and just plain LOUSY. Will never go back again. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"GREAT LOCATION"
Water pressure and hot water is lacking. Sink was backing up and took a long time to drain. Tub kept standing water in it and had rust from crack/chip. For an executive room it seemed small and did not have any room for clothes other then a closet and stuff stuff into end tables. Room was nice but my view was another building. The Executive lounge staff […] was awesome and very friendly with good food and a great happy hours. The pool is very nice with a very good temperature and the gym is modern and convenient. Spa on location and the Location in Clark Quay is awesome. I would stay here again, just hope the y add a little extra to the rooms and fix the plumbing and hot water issues. Public transportation is easy to use and fast to pcik up. Get a Card for the MRT- well worth it and easy! Fast and convienent! Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Great stay"
Swissotel was great, less than 100 yds to the MRT, lots of dining in the area, fast internet, and great service.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Five days at the Swissotel"
The room was small and outdated. The pool and the fitness center are very nice. The location is by far the best thing about this hotel. The bar and the restaurant are ok.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Nickel & dime"
I loathe hotels that try to nickel & dime their patrons and this hotel is a prime example - USD 8 for a cup of coffee and water in the room MUST be sold in pairs! All of these things just make the experience adversarial. Would not stay here again as they are ample choices in the area!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Swiiss Hotel Merchant Court Singapore - Fab!"
Stayed here two nights on route to Sydney. This hotel was one of the most comfortable and welcoming that i have ever stayed in. The staff were so helpful and friendly.The room was really comfortable and spacious. Sheer luxury. The location was perfect too- right on the river next to all the cafes and restaurants - away from the noise and bustle of traffic. […] All in all the hotel made my stay in Singapore a very relaxing and happy one! Would highly recommend it. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Depends what room you get"
The hotel lobby and service is very good. but i got assigned a room on the 4th floor which was overlooking a wall. the room felt like a cave. Furthermore, you can't sit at the desk and work and watch TV at the same time, as the TV is a very old model and can't be turned inside the cabinet. Also, the hotel does not have wireless internet, just fix cable. […] But the room was clean, the bedding of good quality, and the bathroom spacious and modern. The location is right on the River, next to LOTS of restaurant. Very turisty area, with night life every night of the week :-) Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"Perfect location."
We stayed here for 4 days post cruise holiday. The location was perfect with many things in easy walking distance. Staff were very friendly. Room was clean and spacious. Our flight home was not until midnight on the day we left but we were able to store our luggage while we went out for the day and then we were allowed to use the hotel pool facilities […] to shower prior to going to the airport.

"Possibly the best in Singapore overall"
It's not just about how old, or clean, big or small, or good-value a hotel is, you must also look at how close it is to where you want to be, and whether all of its facilities and benefits will be of use. We think the Swissotel Clarkes Quay is probably, overall, amongst the best in Singapore. Will definitely be back again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Swissotel Superb"
Beautiful Hotel with First Class Service. We opted for a room upgrade with a balcony overlooking the river at Clarke Key. It was a giant room with its own corridor, enormous bathroom and a great view. It is perfectly positioned with an adjoining Shopping Mall, an MRT Station nearby and a leisurely waly to Chinatown..... Excellent ChoiceGenuine Expedia guest review

"Very Disappointing"
Having stayed at the Swissotel Merchant Court previously, I was again looking forward to my stay - the hotel is in a great location. Upon arrival very late at night and following unpacking my case, I used the bathroom only to find the toilet had been used by someone else and not flushed. I then wondered whether the room had been cleaned following a […] late checkout perhaps? Mentioning this to staff the following morning, they did not seem to care. Two days later I received a patronising letter from the Duty Manager, who also did not care. Not a very good impression from a highly rated and respected hotel. A minor incident, but one that dampened an enjoyable visit to Singapore. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
