Great hotel, wonderfully warm staff, excellent location.
Quirky and quaint! Very clean. Warm welcome from the lovely hotel staff. Amazing location with restaurants and bars on doorstep. Very close to an MRT station!
Whilst the accommodation is lovely and modern, the corridors and rooms feel a little tired. But the hotel experience overall was great.

There was a good choice of breakfast and the cafe was only a short walk from the Amoy. The staff were friendly and efficient.

Unique experience staying at Amoy Hotel. Wonderful facilties with a lot of activites to do near by.
Excellent location, the room was extremely boutique and was a wonderful experience to stay in. The included breakfast was wonderful and met beyond my expectations. The best part was the MRT right next to the hotel, could travel to the corners of the city with ease.

Nice comfortable hotel with a great historic background.
The location and the ambient. It is a very nice small hotel.
Some noise from the bars in the nearby alley can be heard at night. Not that bad, but it could be a problem for some.

Perfect location at a reasonable price
Perfect location. Attentive staff. Great bed. Lovely room.
There were steps that made it difficult to move luggage and access areas of the room. Steps to climb to the bathroom. Steps down to the sleeping area.

Fabulous
Cozy and clean room. Access to the gym and sky-pool is available from the nearby structure.
The breakfast offered by the related restaurant has not many choices and not the most interesting options, but this is a personal opinion.

Beautiful boutique hotel in Chinatown
I love staying at boutique hotels when traveling and this one didn’t disappoint. Housed in a building that formerly held a temple, it provides Chinese themed rooms, super comfortable and original. Breakfast is provided at a cafe across the street.
Breakfast is very good but doesn’t offer a lot of choice (1 coffee, 1 orange juice, and 1 dish).

Comfort in the heart of the city with character
The location in between china town and Gardens by tye Bay made this an excellent choice for a short stay. Good and drinking on the door step. The room was compact but made exceptional use of space adding character without compromising comfort. Staff very friendly and helpful
The level of noise from the street due to being in the heart of a drinking area. Ear plugs provide if needed. However it added to character of the place. This was out of the hotels hands and as the building was original I suspect building requirements prevented sound proofing

Great enjoyable stay inSingapore
The location of the hotel is very original, since it is located in an old former warehouse. It is super quiet although in an interesting location and close to all facilities. Staff was also fantastic! Many thanks.
I have nothing negative to report, everything was excellent!

Very good
Location and staff were excellent. First impressions walking through the entrance towards reception was theatrical.
Rooms are small for the price, more suited to a solo business traveller than holiday couple.

Very good
1) A charming hotel just next to MRT and surrounded by streets with cafes and bars. 2) Nespresso machine in room. 3) Friendly, efficient staff.
1) Breakfast was not served in the restaurant inside the building but in a cafe down the road. 2) No buffet breakfast only a limited choice ala carte and fresh orange juice was not really freshly squeezed. More like orange juice from a carton. 3) No bidet hose in WC. Having a bidet hose would have functionally helped the hotel's policy of encouraging guests to minimise toilet paper usage.

Fantastic room, very convenient , wonderful concierge staff. Sheirly’s welcome was fantastic especially when she set up
Property very convenient, basically had adjacent entry to underground for easy access. Centrally located to local eateries. Concierge staff, especially Sheirly was fantastic. Sheirly knew we were celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary and she went out of her way with a sign and flowers along with a small cake to welcome us.

Amazing staff
Some of the nicest staff that I have experienced, very kind and helpful. Great location. And the hotel is lovely, located at an old temple
My room was very small - but again, for one night it was OK

Fabulous
Top location, with plenty of restaurants to dine in right at the hotel's doorstep. Very professional staff - ready to help resolve any issue.
Rooms are quite small, making it difficult to move around when travelling with two big suitcases. However, spaces are well optimised, so this is not too much of a problem.

Set inside an old temple, my single room was beautiful. The staff were very friendly and accommodated my requests. The cost of my room was very reasonable for the quality I experienced. Would stay again.
Not all the TV channels had good reception

Some rooms are very small despite claiming they are all 22sqm. Layout / setup of the rooms could be modified to be more functional for longer stays.

This is a great small hotel for a comfortable and accessible stay in Singapore!
This is a lovely unique hotel in a great location. The professionalism and welcome of the staff at reception was excellent. The facilities are modern and high spec. My room was quiet, well air conditioned, and nice shower-bathroom facilities.
The bed was a little small but this did not affect the enjoyment of my stay.

Great value for money in central Singapore
Very central location MRT next door Heaps of good options close by Amazing customer service from the front desk Good value for money Nice and quiet for such a central location
Didn’t really enjoy the breakfast It was all cooked options would have preferred something lighter or fresh in the Singapore heat
18 July 2025
It is value for money and also you may feel nice singaporian town house experience.
I liked the location. I arrived at midnight, and all the restaurants were closed, but the nearby hawker centre was open. It's a great location for that reason. Also, it's fairly close to China Town and the metro.
The room is small in size, and a wash basin is in the room. Honestly, I do not mind it at all, but it might be important for others who mind such an arrangement.

Far East Hospitality - Exceptional Service!
The hotel is nice and has a lot of character. We received an upfront notice that there would be some maintenance in the hall next to the hotel after 10:30pm. We just came out of very tiring long travel journey so we asked if they would find a quiet room for us. Unfortunately there was no other room available so we thought that this would mean we would have to stand the noise…. Well, that was not counting on Far East hospitality. Our sweet hotel assistant simply booked a room at the hotel next door for us - at no additional charge(!) This is probably the first time in my many years of travel that I treated as well. The hotel staff is so helpful and will do everything to please their customers. Far East Hospitality, you have my full sympathy!
Absolutely nothing - I wish I had more time to explore the hotel.

A Historic stay.
Stay here if you want to experience staying in a historic converted old shophouse in the center of many attractions. It’s walking distance to Chinatown, Marina Bay, Clark Quay, Pekin Street, Lau Pa Sat. Many dining and food options steps away. A smaller boutique hotel on a more personal level.
Our room was quite small, with little closet space, and a very tight bathroom. Location near many bars with the possibility of street noise, but this was muted, and not a problem for us. The hotel did not have a restaurant, but used a little outside restaurant a short distance away for its included breakfast. Options for breakfast were limited.

Comfortable and convenient
Wonderful location. Convenient public transportation, restaurants and nightlife, convenience stores. Marina Bay and other tourist sites in walking distance. Single room had excellent bed and shower and was spacious. Excellent air conditioning.
Door didn’t always close and latch by itself. One day housekeeper made up room and left door open.

Amazing stay.
Perfect location, 2 mins walk from MTR station and surrounded by amazing cafes. It was a unique blend of hotel in the middle of street cafes. Best thing was that it seemed to be noisy outside but surprisingly the rooms were very quiet and comfortable. Also the cafe where the breakfast was, it was awesome as well. The friendly staff there also made the overall experience extraordinary.

An awesome hotel, highly recommended
An awesome hotel which is very well kept. The room is small but it is organized very well to take advantage of every inch. The bed is comfortable, the shower is great, and the air conditioning works really well (very important feature in Singapore). The complimentary cans of soda in the fridge, the bags of chips, and the coffee machine capsules were restocked EVERY DAY.
The room is small and it's a bit noisy outside on weekend nights
