This hotel was one of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed at. The incredibly friendly and attentive staff were a stand out - they remembered every little thing and were SO unbelievably kind and welcoming (to the extent where they remembered it was my birthday week and presented me with a surprise cake upon check in!). The rooms are fairly small but beautifully decorated, come with great amenities and are relatively quiet, and the location was superb for metro access, restaurants and our new favourite Lau Pa Sat. Breakfast is a choice of two restaurants next door and was also lovely - we’d recommend the smashed avocado toast at Genius Central. Lastly, the hotel itself is gorgeous - it sits within a heritage museum and is such a unique and special building. We feel incredibly lucky to have found such a gem, and will absolutely be returning when we’re next in Singapore. Special shout out to Shei

I loved staying in this unique hotel. The hotel has been built in and around a former Chinese Buddhist Temple, Fuk Tak Chi Temple. The interior courtyard and lobby are actually a small museum displaying various artifacts, including a model of Fuk Tak Chi and the surrounding area as it would have looked in the 19th century. The service was perfect, staff is friendly and quite well trained. Every request I had was granted, including a late check out time at 3pm since my flight did not leave until 7pm. Rooms are smallish but nicely designed; there is a nespresso machine, tea, snacks, and a few cold drinks in the mini fridge all complimentary. Location was perfect — just a few blocks to Chinatown, Club Street, Ann Siang Road and several hawker centers. You can also walk to Marina Bay Sands and Gardens by the Bay (a longer walk - maybe a mile or so). Note: I stayed at Amoy on a weekend and the streets were fairly deserted due to the hotel’s location in the business center of Singapore. I enjoyed it, but I could imagine that to some it may seem off-putting or odd to have the whole city center almost to oneself. When I left on Monday the streets were packed with commuters going to their offices — quite a difference!

A lot to digest? Read an AI-generated summary of recent traveller reviews.
We completely enjoyed our stay at the Amoy Hotel and I would have given our experience five stars except for the construction outside, which the hotel can do nothing about.
We were greeted warmly and enthusiastically even at 1 AM with a refreshing drink and much helpfulness from Derek. Our room was comfortable, the bed was amazing, and we slept great all three nights we were here, even with a little bit of noise outside. (Our windows were boarded up to damper the noise, but I missed being able to see outside.)
The location of the hotel is great, just steps from the Telok Ayer MTR station, which made it easy to get all around town. In addition, Chinatown is a few short blocks away, and it isn’t hard to walk to the Merlion either. There are multiple food options nearby from a hawker center in one direction to hip food joints in the other, literally right out the back door.
The best thing about the stay was the extreme helpfulness of the staff who were willing to mail postcards, book taxis, and accommodate other requests, always with a smile. In addition, the option of being picked up at the airport was amazing. What a nice way to be welcomed into Singapore after 17 hours of flying.
Others have written about the decor and appearance of the hotel, which make it a really fun place to stay. I loved having to step over the threshold of the Buddhist temple every time I went in or out of the building.
If we ever return to Singapore, I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

I selected this hotel mainly because of it’s downtown location and good reviews. It is also a boutique hotel which I prefer to large chain hotels so long as they have modern conveniences. Even though I arrived at 2:00am the front desk attendant was very helpful and efficient checking me in and taking me up to the my singles room on the 2nd floor.
The hotel is built inside a Heritage building that once housed one of Singapore's oldest Chinese temples from 1820s to 1994. They kept the heritage look and feel especially in the entrance.
The room is quite small as I expected, but it’s very well laid out and efficient with all modern conveniences, such as coffee maker, in room safe, USB outlet and desk area. Only minor thing is the hallway does have a several parts with a few short steps up and down. Nothing difficult, but if someone has mobility challenges, they might have a bit of an issue.
The bed was comfy although to save space is placed against the wall, so you only enter from one side. Took a little getting used to, but didn’t hinder my sleep. The desk and chair were quite useable to work on a laptop, and the free wifi was decent speed for most uses. AC kept the room comfortable with minimal noise.
Breakfast is a la carte at a restaurant directly next door. The selection is good and quality and service very good. I location is very central particularly to the Telok Ayer MRT subway line literally across the street. Its ideal not just a walk/subway ride to everything, but also many food places located within several blocks including the Lau Pa Sat Festival Market, which is a great place to get cheap but good food.
Overall I rate the hotel, service and location as excellent, and would definitely return back again.

From the gorgeous entry through the Chinese temple to the boutique styled room, the welcome, the friendliness and the location. This property was faultless. There is a great range of restaurants and bars very nearby so I didn't eat at the small restaurant near reception. All the small details are looked after and the included mini-bar was very welcome. The icing on the cake was a private transfer to the airport which was hugely appreciated. My only criticism would be the included breakfast which is outsourced to a cafe just nearby. Not entirely bad but quite plain and not of a quality that aligned with the rest of what the property offered. Would highly recommend and would definitely stay again (just on a room only rate)

The hotel is situated within the renovated shophouses of Singapore early days that's been preserved as part of the heritage and well integrated into the current Far East Square as it is known today. Located a few minutes walk away from Telok Ayer MRT and nearby Amoy St as well as Chinatown where many great F&B outlets resides, it isn't much of an issue travelling around or finding the venue for your next meal. The oriental decors within is stands out pleasantly from the moment you arrive at the lobby, and we were pleasantly surprised by the welcome drink that was served to us in what resembled to those wine bottles and bowls used in ancient China.
Rooms were very spacious and had the same oriental feel as well as elements of nolstalgia, ranging from the old school telephone to tingkats used to contain some snacks. Due to the way the hotel was built, we were informed that no rooms are identical in terms of layout. Since this staycation was for my significant other's birthday, there was this handmade souvenir they've prepared for her. with some personalised touch and a handwritten note.
The hospitality and service shown by the staff throughout our 2 nights there were excellent, acceding to our requests and helping me out with some of these requests prior to our stay. Special mention to Bryan for the service before and during our stay too. The recently added heritage tour in the vicinity was a great eyeopener led by the manager Alvin, which we learnt a lot about the stories that came with the history of Singapore and hidden corners with paintings and murals. It definitely made it to the highlight of the stay.
Will we come back for a stay? Definitely. With the great location, comfortable room and the superbly high standards of service that left us with such great memories, it's hard not to consider coming back for another staycation. For those who will like a change from those modernised hotel stay, do check this hotel out for yourself.

A friend recommended Amoy to me for my recent stay in Singapore. The hotel location was perfect, the hotel itself was charming and the room was lovely and clean. I also really appreciated that I was allowed to use a spare room to shower and change before my late-night (and long-haul) flight.
I will definitely stay there again.

The hotel was a unique one, with no hotel lobby or pick up point, it is hidden within the perimeters of china market square. There are plenty of food areas and convenience stores around the area. We were in room 219 (Lee) and the hotel was great. At the reception, we were treated to a pot of cold brewed tea while checking in and then escorted to our room by the staff. Bed was comfortable, and the shower room was good with huge water pressure that can wind away the stress. The soap, shampoo and bath gel were all very fragrant which I like it a lot.
Some downside we did not expect: there were no bottled waters provided which is a hassle as we had to go to the nearby 7-11 to get some. The minibar consist of 4 can drinks where I thought would be refilled once a day considering no water was provided, alas, the four can drinks was to last us for our entire stay. The TV channels varieties were imbalanced in some ways where there were too many sports channels and not many english movie channels (only HBO and cinemax but not the full suite). Friday nights were a little noisy at night as the room is facing the main alleyway of the market square, but not much of a problem for us as the comfortable made us fall asleep pretty quickly. Breakfast was unique. Having breakfast at Genius Central which was beside the hotel, it was something I did not expect as it does not consist of your usual continental hashbrown sausages and scrambled eggs with croissant. Instead, it is super healthy where you have sourdough bread on scrambled eggs topped with some greens and cherry tomatoes. Breakfast is from 8am to 11am, perfect for me as I usually wake up slightly later at about 9. Overall, this hotel is good if you are on a food/walking trip around town as there are plenty to do and see! Will return to stay but I might like to try the other rooms.

The staff service and location (many restaurants and bars nearby) were superb; however, the room needs some cleaning, especially the floor area underneath the window, the wall behind the bed pillows, and the shower floor + corners. I also suggest that the room description highlight the bed size (single) since I wasn't aware that there are still hotel rooms that only have single beds... In my memory of business travel, all basic rooms have at least queen size beds.
When I arrived and I asked for a room upgrade due to single bed, the staff was more than happy to upgrade the room with queen size bed for an additional fee. The next day the staff informed me that they don't have any more rooms, so they provided a room from their sister hotel (Clan hotel) which is an upgraded hotel (4 stars compare to 5 stars). It was a very nice gesture of this hotel staff since they could've just told me that they don't have any more rooms at Amoy.

Generally we are happy with our staycation and pleasantly surprised by the surrounding on our own Singapura Teluk Ayer area. Certainly felt touristy for us to explore our own neighbourhood.
Pros: 1. Warm and sincere hospitality. Consistent throughout all Far East establishments. Bravo to that. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 2. Breakfast with Genius Central... certainly more can be worked together with the fine chefs. Breakfast options were plenty and coffee was nicely prepared. 3. Thank you to kind lady staff for going beyond in helping us to get milk for coffee in the evening as hotel had ran out of creamer and milk. 4. Kudos too to Derek for his sincerity and hospitality. Far East must be doing something right with training and hiring people with right passion for the industry.
Improvement areas: 5. Our sharing on the noisy aircon wasn’t to ask for late checkout or any other freebies, the gesture was truly appreciated. 6. We understand the thoroughness of housekeeping team in prepping room quickly, however do take your time as I’m sure we guests can understand to wait a bit longer while rooms are properly cleaned and sanitized.
Otherwise do keep up with the great work. Stay safe 😷 to all staffs at Amoy.

The best way to get to the hotel is on the train straight from Changi Airport. Get off on the Telok Ayer St. stop and the hotel is directly across the street. The train will cost you approximately $3-5 USD.
