"This hotel is a solid luxury choice for business and leisure travelers, and anyone who appreciates history and old-fashioned charm." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Though celebrating its 125th birthday in 2012, the hotel is still a magnet for A-listers (Elizabeth Taylor, Diane von Furstenberg, and Barry Diller have all stayed here)." Full review
Rough Guide "The modern extension is a mixed bag, but the Raffles remains refreshingly low-rise and still has colonial-era charm in spades."
Star Service "The spirit of this old dame manages to shine through, and she deserves all the pleasantries bestowed upon her." Full review
Gayot "This 103-room colonial grand dame dating to 1887 offers an equally impressive list of modern business facilities."
Afar Magazine "A hotel whose name is instantly recognizable, the Raffles Singapore is pure colonial confection, a landmark maintained in its original style, with liveried Sikh doormen greeting guests." Full review

Frommer's "Traders doesn't look like a value-for-money hotel... but that's how it advertises itself -- and it's certainly a bargain for leisure travelers in Singapore." Full review
Fodor's "Connected to the Tanglin Mall, this hotel has all the necessary comforts—including those for travelers with disabilities." Full review
Star Service "Located next to The Regent, this value-oriented offshoot from Shangri-La operates along the lines of Marriott’s Courtyard brand: friendly, efficient and well-priced." Full review
Oyster Upscale
"An outdoor pool (which is fairly uncommon in Singapore), a spa and 24-hour gym, a Club Lounge, and a handful of dining spots." Full review
Star Service "This is a fine midrange hotel, but Westerners may find the relatively small rooms constricting—but this is common for Singapore hotel rooms in this price range." Full review
Jetsetter "Traders Singapore has embraced the best attributes of its nearby sibling: top-notch facilities, a prime city location and flawless service." Full review

The hotel has five on-site restaurants and bars to choose from.
Wallpaper "Called Jen Tanglin, the 565-key property’s bold, vibrant interiors are thanks to Hong Kong-based firm BTR, who graced the guest rooms with feature walls painted with local references." Full review
Lonely Planet "Hipster chic underscores Jen's 565 rooms, from the sculptural furniture pieces and funky wallpaper to the mood lighting that makes the ridiculously comfortable beds appear to levitate." Full review
Time Out "The more common amenities include a jacuzzi, sauna, steam and treatment rooms, 24-hour gym, and – unexpectedly, judging from Hotel Jen’s façade – a 30-metre-long swimming pool. " Full review
