We loved our room! It was spacious and had a beautiful view of the park. Because it was about to undergo renovations, the hotel was not crowded. Although we noticed a few areas that needed a little attention, it didn't detract from our enjoyment of the property. I hope the renovations do not destroy the ambience of the property.

Staff mostly friendly.
Reception charged us money for food and drinks at the end, which was booked by other guests at the expense of our room. We clarified this by mutual agreement before departure. The amount was then debited without authorization. The hotel did not respond to emails. Never again this hotel. Not trustworthy!

Wonderful large rooms, nicely appointed. Access is 'interesting'. The hotel is located on a significant hill. Walking distance to the metro is perhaps 15 min. But virtually every route involves steps, a lot of steps. There are some ramps, but some extremely steep. If you have any mobility issues, care will need to be taken. There are some escalators (outdoors) but several were not working or shut down at night. A stay here involves strenuous calf exercises 😳

Great location in Fort Canning Park
Room was quite spacious and well appointed
Staff were very attentive and friendly - service was exceptional
20 minute walk to Orchard St for shopping and Clarke Quay for restaurants and bars
15 minute walk to various MRT stations
The two pools were great - the only thing missing was a pool bar.
The only downside is that some parts of the hotel could do with a little attention but this is only a minore point.

Based in fort canning park it is a very old building in a beautiful location.
Some areas of the building are in need of attention to bring them up to a standard worthy of this beautiful place.
A shortage of breakfast tea, and minimal amount of outside tables at breakfast could be improved.
The bedrooms are quirky (I like quirky) a fabulous bath tub in the room but the toilet and shower with the sliding frosted door your only privacy also in the room, erm you need to be very close to whoever you’re sharing with.
The swimming pools are fabulous a leisure one and a swimming one 25/30m perfect.
The staff were fabulous really friendly and helpful .
It just needs a bit of updating and modernising but retaining is heritage.
I would stay there again.

We had a great stay at Hotel Fort Canning, it was easy to get around and the location was very central.
The breakfast was OK, both western and Asian meals to choose from.
