My husband and I stayed a week in this hotel. We were on the 9th floor and never had problems with the lifts. Not much of a view - Apartments and Greenery - Actually; not sure why they called it Riverfront because it certainly isn't on the riverfront. Nevertheless, the room and service was great. Robes, slippers and tea/coffee. The only thing we missed was an alarm clock. I guess just about everyone has one on their mobile phones. Half hour walk to orchard Rd, and 20 min walk to Clarke Quay Mrt. All around it is a lovely hotel but wouldn't stay here again as it was to far away from everything, although there is a free shuttle to Orchard Rd.

I was perfectly happy with this hotel. My partner and I stayed one night, on a stopover from UK to Australia, and it was just what we needed. Comfortable bed, large, clean, quiet room (although the decor was slightly dated) and clean, spacious bathroom, and very helpful, friendly staff.

We had a great view from our room. As non-smokers, we would have preferred a non-smoking room, but when we arrived were told there would be a wait for one to be ready (it was only 8am so this was not unreasonable). Having been on a long flight and up for almost 24 hours, we took the smoking room as we just wanted a rest. This turned out to be a good call as I believe the non-smoking rooms are in a different part of the hotel and perhaps lack the views. Yes there was a slight smell of stale smoke at first, but this soon vanished into the air conditioning.

The hotel is not centrally located, but the two attractions we were interested in were the Zoo and the Botanic Gardens, and the hotel is actually in a good position for reaching both of these on public transport. Also, as many other reviewers have said, taxis in Singapore are incredibly cheap and so the whole city is very accessible in this way.

We didn't eat at the restaurant in the hotel as some of the other reviews on tripadvisor were not too good, and it seemed expensive.

All in all, we had a good stay at the Furama Riverfront in Singapore and would certainly consider staying at this hotel on a stopover again.

really enjoyed our stay, the room was lovely and the views of the pool and city were amazing !
the entertainment was interesting and certainly gave us a few smiles, the champagne may have helped this slightly!
the square restaurant has excellent food although some dishes arent for the light hearted!
taxis are so cheap so and everything is really close so this is definately the best way to see this beautiful city.

I stayed on the executive floor in one of the newly remodeled rooms. The bathroom walls are made of glass. Very exotic on the architect’s computer until you need privacy and have a guest. There is supposed to be a shade for one wall of the bathroom. It was missing in my room. I told the staff about it the first day but it was never installed. There is not a clock in the room. There is no storage, everything is in the open, no wardrobe/closet or drawers to put your clothes in. Like a budget Motel 6 in America except with fine marble and fancy fixtures.

The executive lounge with light dinner and free drinks was a great value. Attentive staff everywhere in the hotel. (except for shade maintenance I guess).
