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

"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
