We recently had a family holiday in Singapore staying 5 nights at this hotel. It was a top location right next to the MRT and looking out onto the river. It was only one train stop to Chinatown and two stops to Harbourtown (departure point for Sentosa , one of the main attractions). It was a $5 taxi fare to the Singapore Flyer. Other places were very accessible on the MRT. The hotel itself was beautiful with more character than other comparable hotels and a lovely resort style pool set in lush gardens with a view over the river. We had breakfast included which was a great buffet. With 2 children aged 10 and 13 we felt very much at home immediately. We had 2 rooms (interconnecting). The beds were very comfortable. Everything was spotlessly clean and every staff member we saw was friendly, helpful and efficient. The Central shopping centre across the road had lots of cheap eating options (local foods and Western chains like Subway.) We would love to go back!

We spent 2 nights at Merchant Court as we made our way back from Australia on our honeymoon.

We loved it here, fantastic location and the hotel was great. You truly couldn't ask for a better situated hotel.

Our room overlooked Clarke Quay and the pool, and was huge. It had 3 beds, and the bathroom was bigger than some hotel rooms I have stayed in!

We were in the pool at 9pm one night and it was no issue, and we were able to overlook some revellers down on Clarke Quay!

We had breakfast each morning and the selection was vast, all lovely.

We ate in the buffet restaurant (Market Cafe) one night and that was not cheap, but great selection.

Would strongly recommend this place, no matter what purpose of visit!

Location at Clarke Quay is perfect for a stopover. There's lots to do and see in this area immediately around the hotel, not to mention an MRT station and shopping mall adjacent. Good for kids and adults. Staff are friendly and efficient, going out of their way to help. Room was one of the nicest I've been in. I especially liked the Lavazza coffee machine. Good, free coffee on tap was exactly what I needed after two weeks of instant coffee in Thailand. I also liked the bathroom products, shape of the room layout, light system by the bed and - especially - the incredibly comfortable bed with a luxurious feather light doona and gorgeous pillow (which was lucky because I spent a lot of time awake due to drinking all the coffee...). The pool is fantastic, with a view overlooking the river and plenty of sun-loungers and towels. My only criticisms are that there were no kid's options on pay tv that I could find and noise from rowdy guests in the adjacent room (there was a locked door between us) came through. Also, I would avoid the bar and hotel cafe as prices of drinks and food is high. Lots of other river side bars to choose from. We had a late flight and the hotel gives the option of a shower prior to the flight with towels and toilettries supplied. Loved the decor and ambience of the hotel and facilities. Particularly liked the Clark Quay area and look forward to going back in future.

We had a short weekend getaway with the family. Service overall was warm and friendly. We loved the warm tones of the lobby decor. The room had a great view and really comfortable beds. Best for me was the Lavazza Coffee Machine - second best the high def flatscreen TV. My daughter loved the bathroom - which looked quite new. There was a small children's pool with a water slide. The pool was nice as it had a view of the river which we went back in the night to watch the performances at the Singapore River Festival wihtout the crowd - bonus for us. The hotel was right next to the subway station and a Mall and across to Boat Quay which was great for accessibility.

We haven’t been back to the Merchant Court for sometime and were expecting a tired mid tier hotel. Instead we were pleasantly surprised to find that some things were refreshed. The bathroom fittings were new, the grouting was very clean, and the vanity area very well lit. The carpets outside the rooms looked new and well maintained. There is a 24hour convenience store that sells phonecards, drinks and snacks about a 5min walk away.
Very useful for stocking up for those late nite snacks. Parking is complimentary just remember to get the ticket from the front desk.
