Fodor's "Large windows throughout this hotel give full focus to the Singapore River. Standard rooms have a resort feel with their parquet floors and rattan furniture." Full review
Lonely Planet "Of the several hotels clustered at the Robertson Quay end of the river (the closest MRT is Tiong Bahru, but it’s not within walking distance), the fanciest is this imposing place."
Time Out "Though located at the end of Robertson Quay, this riverside hotel is more suited to corporate travellers than tourists." Full review
Oyster Upper-middle-range
"The 574-room Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel is an upper-middle-range property by the river, offering views of the city and its surroundings." Full review
Star Service "Along Singapore River but far removed from the heart of the action, this bland place seems far past its prime, through low prices ensure its popularity among Asian travelers and tour groups." Full review

Frommer's "This trendy, inexpensive little place is a real gem in Chinatown, operated by the same people behind the swish New Majestic." Full review
Fodor's "Comprising five converted shophouses, built in 1929, this hotel successfully blends old-style architecture with a modern interior." Full review
Lonely Planet "Owned by the same people behind nearby New Majestic, 1929 is also pretty slick, although not in the same class as its big brother." Full review

Travel + Leisure "Housed inside five refurbished 1929 shophouses, this retro-inspired Chinatown hotel is decorated with vintage designer furniture from hotelier Loh Lik Peng’s private collection." Full review
Rough Guide "The interior has been renovated to look like a twenty-first-century version of the early 1960s, all very retro chic."
Insight Guides "Ultra-hip boutique hotel in the heart of Chinatown that has made headlines in numerous design magazines."
Time Out "In 2002, owner Peng Loh (who also owns the New Majestic) turned five colonial shophouses into this 32-room boutique property." Full review
