Hotel Amoy by Far East, Singapore

Part museum, part hotel, the staff were the outstanding gems in this property. Nothing was too much trouble and their pride in their workplace was obvious

Could do with a little more storage in room

Perfect location, right next to MRT and lots of cool restaurants, walking distance to both downtown and chinatown. checkout was noon!

nothing

The location was excellent because it was very central and a short walk from the subway, making getting around much easier. The room was comfortable and had everything I needed. The breakfast room was also a short walk away, which was very convenient.

The only thing that bothered me a little was that the air conditioner was too close to the bed. When it was turned on, it blew directly onto the pillow, and therefore onto my head. Even when I adjusted the angle of the airflow, it was still uncomfortable.

Despite arriving very early, staff helped us until the room was ready.

Great location and the fact that it was part of an historical building added to its charm and authenticity.

There is an independent cafe/restaurant located off the reception space which has nothing to do with the hotel; it would be so much better for guests to be able to use this for breakfast, coffee and other meals rather than having to leave the hotel to eat at another establishment across the road.

Wonderful stay within walking distance of a huge food court and the gardens by the bay complex. Really comfortable, friendly staff, would definitely stay here again!

Nothing, it was great!

Great, central location. Easy for walking many places. MRT station directly across the street.

Everything was great.

Wonderful staff. All very kind and caring. Nadyah was particularly lovely.

Wonderful staff thanks to Irene Adam Thomas Jay Sheirly Nadgyah Xue Qui Sabina

Great location

The rooms had steps inside each room making it difficult to go from Sleeping area to bathroom. No ability to dry my hair while looking in the mirror.

Lovelly little hotel. Really friendly and helpful staff. Great location. Small but well appointed and comfy room. Nice breakfast.

Storage for clothes. I was there for 4 nights and it would have been nice to be able to unpack properly and store clothes somewhere.

Location was brilliant and friendly helpful staff.

Nothing

Cute old house, nice room

Layout of room and bsthroom bit odd. Difficult to access work table and chair. Difficult to find light switches

MRT station literally across the road. Reception area is an old building , unusual in SG. Good location.

No real complaints. Towel swapped even though I left it hanging which I thought meant can leave it in room. But this isn’t a biggie

Very close to Chinatown, the gardens . The staff were very welcoming and helpful.

I Liked everything about the hotel and location.

Very cute hotel in a super accesible area. Small bedrooms but vey confortable, clean and quiet. Staff was very friendly and ready to help.

The coffee machine was not working and one night the AC had a leak. Im sure hotel staff would have taken care of it, but I only stayed 2 nights.

We stayed in two rooms: a single room for my son and a double room for my husband and me. My son’s room, a single, was very charming—more than I had expected. The bed was extremely comfortable, and I absolutely loved the fluffy towels (we stayed at eight hotels during this trip, and yours had the best towels!). My only complaint was breakfast. We had to eat outside, which was a bit uncomfortable due to the humidity. It would have been nice to have the option to dine indoors. Also, given the hotel’s strong historical connection to Chinatown, I was expecting to see some Chinese breakfast options as well. That said, I really loved the uniqueness of your hotel, and overall it was a lovely boutique hotel experience. Thank you!

Boutique, interesting hotel. Felt very welcome. Gorgeous room.

Th breakfast was good, liked the room layout especially the high ceilings made the room feel spacious. Very good for one person.

Unable to connect tv to Netflix, and maybe a better view. The layout of the rooms little confusing.

Staff's attitude, excellent location, design, comfortable bed, a nice breakfast-

-

The staff were extremely friendly and helpfull. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The breakfast was generous.

The location was bit out town centre location.

The staff were a stand out at this property. They were so warm and welcoming and very professional. The extra little touches of welcome and farewell gifts were so lovely. This property is perfect for solo travellers - the small but well appointed were ideal. The location was excellent - right across the right from the MRT and walking distance to China Town. The unique entrance to the hotel through the temple (now used as a museum displaying antiques) was another lovely touch. Breakfast was adequate for starting the day off. Would certainly stay here again when returning to Singapore.

Prior to our arrival I had a bit of trouble with communication with reservations when confirming some personal details. Only a minor issue though.

Excellent location close to Chinatown and the MRT. The room was a nice change from the standard hotel style accommodation. Breakfast was included and to be had in a neighboring cafe / restaurant. We were able to shower and freshen up before our flight home at The Clan Hotel next door. This option was volunteered to us by the friendly and helpful staff and was most appreciated.

Our room did not have a window so we lost track of time and slept in on the day of our departure. Fortunately check out time was 12pm, so we still had time to have breakfast, pack and check out.

A boutique hotel in a great location. Everything you needed in the quirky room. Staff were excellent and helped in every way possible. We will be back AAA+++

Stay was too short

The people was the best.

Staff were so friendly and welcoming and the room was comfortable

Nothing, it was all great

Staff were lovely. Room was comfortable. Breakfast was excellent. Location was fantastic. Complementary drinks, which were topped up - such a nice touch!

Noisy at weekends so didn't get to sleep until gone 12am. No lounge area so it's really just a place to crash and go.

Very convenient location

N/a

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.

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.

Nothing

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. 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.

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.

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).

My whole stay was great, Location excellent staff efficient and friendly.

The waiter in the Thai Restaurant who was very rude

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

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!

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.

Gorgeous. Like a boutique hotel. Clean and old style Asian design. Staff exceptionally helpful

I got lost trying to exit.

Everything was excellent. Had a single room, it was perfect

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.

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.

Nothing

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

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

Room is very clean. Front desk team was very friendly and helpful. Tea served during check in was really good. Check out process was fast and smooth.

Comfy, perfect location, friendliest staff. Personalised notes and proud showing off their heritage.

Nothing

Friendly helpful staff, great location and comfy bed

Location, friendly and professional staff. Heritage feel of property

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.
