I'm not sure why some travellers gave such bad review of the room/hotel. It was almost perfect to me and my husband. Service was good, we even got a call from Housekeeping asking if we need any replenishments of amenities since we chose not to have our room house-kept when they went around. Hotel isn't too crowded to make it lose the resort feel. Hotel could have better anticipated the number of guests and made sure there are enough tables and seats for everyone instead of having people queuing to wait for breakfast. Evening free flow of canapes and wine was not worth waiting for. Accesible to MRT and nearest malls are Park Mall and Plaza Singapura. Overall, for the price paid for the quality, it was very worth it.

Beautiful restored building with a lot of character. Quiet location in the park. Nice pool area that makes you feel like you are in the middle of the park trees. Friendly and efficient staff. Well appointed rooms with very large bathroom.

Hotel Fort Canning was everything all the trip advisor reviews said it was. Loved being in the middle of Fort Canning Park but close to MRT and all other attractions. Very friendly staff and food at both restaurants was good. Lovely old colonial building but very trendy inside. Loved our stay at Hotel Fort Canning.

Hotel Fort Canning is a top-notch 5* boutique hotel - although that isn't saying a whole lot in Singapore, which has more than a fair share of high-end hotels from which to choose... What really sets HFC apart from most other 4-5* accommodation in this city is it's location and relative value.

Set behind the Singapore National Museum in Fort Canning Park, the hotel is at the East end of Orchard Rd. This makes for a quiet, leafy, and relatively secluded location in which to enjoy your stay, in contrast to the busy street life that accompanies most Orchard hotels. This location is also the hotel's main drawback, since any quick journey (even to a 7-Eleven) usually involves a car or taxi, and doesn't offer immediate access to the city's amenities. It's not impossible to walk to public transportation or to the commercial district, but it will take some time (5 -15 minutes). And, as the hotel is on a hill, any return walk will have to contend with the S'pore humidity. However, if you're looking for a peaceful location, or green space for exercise or to play with the kids, then this location is excellent. You can truly forget you're in the city...

Rooms are as advertised with touch-automated controls for everything (think iPod classic), super-high ceilings that make the room seem even larger than it is, and separate offices from the sleeping area. The pools and gym are excellent, as are the free wi-fi and complimentary evening drinks (wine/champagne). Service is superb, and the on-site (though separately managed) Italian restaurant is fantastic. Breakfast is comprehensive.

Paid around $260 nett, which was a relative value to comparable hotels in this category/location.
