Kekee, as a local i have stayed in quite a few hotels and this is one of them. If you want to stay in Chinatown, this is a good choice as it's neart Chinatown MRT and you can walk to Temple Street, Pagoda or Smith Street. Very Convenient.
Food-wise, it's in Chinatown, so you don't have to worry. Good choice of Dim sum and chinese food.
Service is okie i would say, but i like the high tea here. It's value for money.

This is a good hotet with a great location. We stayed in this hotel for 4 nights in March 2006 and I will recommend it to any of my friendswho want to visit Singapore. The reasons are:
1/ In the heart of Chinatown. 10 minute walk to Chinatown night market. 2/ Free shuttle bus to Orchard Rd . 3/ Plenty of Chinese food options from cheap breakfast to expensive dinner, just walk across the street ! 4/ 5 minute walk to Chinatown MRT station. From there you can get to Sentosa, Jurong Bird Park ...easily. 5/ Good service, quality room, reasonable price. 6/ Clarke Quay is a 10 minute walk away and from there you can take a river cruise. 7/ What more do you want ?
Great location for everyone, not only for tourists who prefer to be near Chinatown.
Directions: From the airport, make sure to tell the taxi / bus driver the name of this hotel is Furama City Centre, because there is another Furama hotel in Singapore and It's name is Furama Riverfront.
When you are in foreign land, the best thing you can have is smiles. The staff is helpful and makes you feel at home. The rooms are big and cosy. I like the lobby most:)
The design and the lounge is a good place to meet people. The view towards the sea is the best

The architecture is unique. It looks amazing from afar. The Furama City Centre is one landmark that is hard to miss when you’re in Chinatown. It’s located right in the heart of one of Singapore’s colourful thoroughfares. Quaint streets surround the hotel with unique shops offering souvenirs and great buys. There are also several food stalls and restaurants to satisfy your hunger or craving for local dishes.
The hotel is nice. It gives you the feeling of warmth and glow at the same time. It’s worth staying here. You’ll really feel you’re in Singapore when you stay in Furama because it’s near the recommended places to visit.

This hotel is very clean in general. The beds are made and the room is cleaned everyday. In our room (superior) there are A/C, mini bar, TV, telephone, tea/coffee making facilities, electronic safe, hair dryer, ironing facilities. I am quite happy with this hotel. The room is large and has a good view of the streets in Chinatown (we stayed on the 7th floor) .
I only stayed the night here to get some sleep after I came in on my plane before going to the NTU campus. I choose it because it was cheap, but for any one concerned about doing the same - don't worry. It was a really nice hotel and the staff was very friendly, even at 1am in the morning. It was a little further from the airport than other hotels so the cab cost more but then it was cheaper to get to my destination in the morning.
The Furama Hotel Singapore is a deluxe class hotel. Just a convenient 5-minute walk away is Singapore's Financial District and the festival village of Clarke Quay. Also close by is Boat Quay, Robertson Quay and Mass Rapid Transit stations. The Furama Hotel has established itself as a distinctive landmark nestled in the heart of Chinatown. Whether you are on business or holiday, the Furama offers you a complete range of business services as well as a wide selection of recreational, dining and entertainment facilities.
2nd floor lobby...nice...
room that i stayed in was a good one... good comfy pillows and bed... okay T&B with tub and separate shower area...
Directions: oh just tell the taxi drivers its the Furama Hotel in Chinatown...if you're taking the MRT, go down the Chinatow station... its easy to find...

Stayed on Dec 22-24, 2004. We got high 18th & 19th Floor. The view are great!! The room are big and I am very impressed with the bed, it's king size 200 x 200 cm. The service were very good.
The hotel location is in China Town, it took only 5 minutes to go to the nearest shopping center, also to the mrt station. We can walk to the temple of Sri Mariaman, and chinatown district.
This unusual shaped hotel has 445 rooms on 23 floors. There are numerous food & drink options, a gym & a pool too.
The hotel is situated in Chinatown near to the Central Business District. It is close to the Chinatown and Clarke Quay MRT stations, making it easy to get to the rest of the island.
I stayed here in 1999. The things I remember most about it are its central location & its shape, which made it easy to spot among the other buildings. The room I remember was clean & well furnished. There were great views of the city from my hotel room.
1st Visit: Rooms were a decent size and clean. Bathroom size was also decent, and contained a bath. Great location. Spa was cold though.
2nd Visit: We scored a new room that had only been open for 2 weeks, very lovely. Only complaint would be the glass door on the bathroom and the fact that the bathroom mirror and sink was outside the bathroom in the room. Some slight electrical problems to be ironed out also, but the room was very modern, clean and comfortable. The gym and laundry have now also been upgraded (and looking very swish). The spa was still cold.
Central to most things. Chinatown had great shopping, it was a short walk to Clarke and Boat Quays, a short drive to Orchard Road and Sentosa Island, a short distance to everything. 7-Eleven also nearby. Situated along the SIA Hop On Route.
