“Great stay. Best service in Singapore.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

I just wanted to compliment the staff at the Fullerton for doing a great job. A few weeks prior to my stay at the Fullerton my wife and I stayed at the Ritz-Carlton Singapore. We were totally let down by the service (nice rooms though) and thought "if the Ritz can't hit it out of the park, who in SIngapore can?"

Fortunately the Fullerton delivered. I was especially impressed by the concierge team - they did a nice job. Good work all around.

Room Tip: Keep in mind when booking that some room types have courtyard, vs. city or Marina views.

“Expensive however the large Heritage rooms is great”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012
3
people found this review helpful

I have stayed at this hotel twice and on the first occassion in the large heritage rooms which is a great experience. On the second occassion i stayed in the standard. The room and bathroom are still bigger than your average hotel room however this one was facing the internal facade of the building and as such i had the curtain shut most of the time for privacy. Overall though it is a great place to stay and it exudes luxury. The service is better the second time around as they try to customise it. On my first stay I thought it was a bit robotic.The staff did what they were suppose to do clinically but they dont make you feel that it is a pleasure serving you. The beds are interesting they are very high and you almost need a ladder to climb on them. The mattress they use though is very firm. It is personal taste - I prefer the Westin style softer heavenly beds. The area is not in Orchard however it is near the CBD, Boat Quay, Marina Bay Sands and walking distance to the Funan IT mall. I prefer this area vs the busy Orchard road. The MRT is nearby and makes it easy to move around and the taxis are cheap. Overall it is a great experience to be at this hotel however pay the extra for the larger rooms it is a unique experience and dont stay in the standard rooms.

“Fullerton Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012

person found this review helpful

The Fullerton is an old-fashioned luxury hotel in Singapore. From start to finish we were treated to terrific, friendly and very helpful service from the staff. Many Singaporeans will proudly tell you the history of this magnificent building that used to be central post office of Singapore. As you enter the hotel you are greeted by staff in the splendid hotel atrium.

The Heritage Room we stayed in was large and very luxurious with a very good broadband service. Bathrooms are also well equipped with good sized shower and bath and private toilet. We stayed in room 269 on the river side. We had to ask for the window doors to be opened and had to sign an indemnity for as the balcony is small with a low barrier. But it was great, it is your own private balcony with unobstructed views of the river and park and next to pool but with no one in front of your room.

I recommend having dinner at all the restaurants in the hotel but the Lighthouse is defiantly one you should go to. You have a front and centre view of the light show from the Marina Bay Sands Hotel that lights up the bay. Very good. Food is excellent too.

The pool isn’t massive but there is more than enough space to enjoy yourself and admire the splendid views. If you want a spa treatment book early as my wife struggled to get an appointment.

This is a great hotel and well worth a visit!

Room Tip: We stayed on the river side. Very good very quiet.

“Singapore with stately splendour”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2012

You're spoilt for choice for good luxury hotels in Singapore. But if you want one with a old-fashioned, historical touch, go for the Fullerton Hotel! My stay at the hotel was the highlight of my Singapore stopover.

Entering the building, you are immediately awed by the imposing edifice with the beauty of a bygone era. I literally took a breath as I stepped into the beautiful main lobby (must have been about 5 floors high!) with a fountain leading down to a koi pond.

The breakfast area opens out to an outdoor dining area right next to the Singapore river. The breakfast spread is very cosmopolitan, and has people people all sorts of exotic and less exotic fare in front of you, including some delicious Belgian waffles.

While the infinity pool may not be as large or grand as that of the Marina Bay Sands resort, it has its own charm. You can float on your back admiring the classical architecture of the hotel building (which was a post office in an earlier incarnation) on one side, and the übermodern Singapore skyline on the other.

It is expensive but there are often promotions of various kinds which offer very good value.

I'd highly recommend it.

“Fantastic”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 February 2012

Awesome luxury hotel in the downtown part of Singapore but close to the fun - Marina Bay Sands Casino, Boat Quay etc. Rooms are large and very luxurious. Bathrooms well equipped with good showers and bath.

For the business traveller, fast broadband and a good workspace.

Probably the best hotel I've stayed at in Singapore. The only flaw was on arrival my non-smoking River-view room turned out to be a smoking room overlooking the road. Staff were very helpful and gave me the room I had booked and gave me a free drink in the bar while it was prepared.

Excellent!

Room Tip: Several reviews show that people don't always get the room they booked. Make a fuss and they wil...
