Ok first the bad - the hotel is hidden away in a park on a hill, the room smelled a bit of stale air upon arrival and the breakfast could have been better BUT the hotel staff is friendly and engaging, the rooms are beautiful and spacious and they have three pools, although not as large as the pictures on their web site makes them look. The smallest pool is for kids, then their is the freeform and at last the lap pool.

We stayed on the second floor which waas the pool floor so you could put on your swimsuit and dive in, well almost. Since the hotel is located on a hill the views are good and the traffic noice low. The ceiling height in the rooms are close to, if not 4m and our room, the deluxe was good for two. There is lots of storage space. The bathroom has both a walk-in shower and a huge tub.

The location is good eventhough you have to walk about 10 minutes to the closest MRT (through Park Mall) but your close to both Orchard Rd and Clarks Quay. Downtown Singapore is walkable eventhough the heat can get to you.

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.
