Frommer's "Merchant Court is beautifully located in the city center, within easy walking distance of Chinatown and the historic and financial districts." Full review
Fodor's "The trend toward developing no-frills hotels for business travelers led the Raffles Group to open Merchant Court, in the Boat Quay district."
Lonely Planet "Rising up like a mini-city beside the Singapore River are the expansive terraces of the Merchant Court."
Rough Guide "One of downtown’s best located hotels, well placed for Clarke and Boat quays and with part of its Ellenborough Market Café encroaching on the riverside promenade itself."
Star Service "On the banks of the Singapore River, opposite Clarke Quay, this serves as the flagship of Raffles International's moderately priced Merchant Court brand." Full review

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
