“Step through its heavy wooden doors and a calm washes over you — making this one of the most unusual entrances to a Singapore hotel. A charming — and calming — Chinese-inflected boutique experience in the heart of busy Singapore.”

Eastern hospitality

The hotel is very well situated, 50 m from the MRT, 5-8 mins by foot from the beautiful Chinatown. The kindness, hospitality and helpfullness of the staff is exceptionnal. The breakfast is very good, you can choose between two cafes, kind of French/American or the healthy way with organic meals. Maybe it would be interesting specially for western guests to give a local meal possibility too.

Fabulous

Exceptional reception staff (particularly Jay) that were very welcoming and attentive. Clean, well-fitted room with comfy bed and complimentary minibar. Partner hotel within a one minute walk provided facilities for us to shower and change before our flight home.

Slightly pricey but we visited during peak season.

The staff are fabulous and so is the location.

The location is excellent, right across from an MRT station.

A couple of stairs to go to bathroom in the night were a bit tricky, but there are night lights on them.

Loved our stay and will definitely stop again.

Love the hotel - front entrance looks like a temple and leads into a kind of museum commemorating early chinese immigrants, reception is behind this. Staff are all very friendly, efficient and always happy to help in any way. Room is clean comfortable and well equipped.

nothing really, everything was excellent

Friendly staff, clean hotel and a nice room

The staff were very friendly and informative. The room was small and compact and I had everything I needed so I was happy with the room. The location was great. We were right next to a train station and there were a number of bars behind the hotel to go out for a drink.

Will always stay in the Amoy

Everything is excellent! Staff treated me like a long lost friend. Was not feeling well when I arrived late evening, and when I told the lady that checked me in ( Jolene) she had soup and bread delivered to my room within 15 minutes. And the next morning, the day person ( Adam) upon hearing that I had tummy issues, brought ..... on his own dime! ....some Gatorade drinks to me. This is over the top hospitality! Plus, room was cozy, clean, and perfect in every way. Location was great for exploring, as the MRT was just across the street. It doesn’t get any better!

There was not a single thing that I didn’t like.

Great people at Amoy.

Friendliness and hospitality excellent. Location perfect. Breakfest at the local bakery is a brilliant idea.

Noise from the covered street is a real problem. There are bars and restaurants and shouting customers. Make sure you book a room at the backside.

Lovely boutique hotel in Chinatown.

Beautiful little boutique hotel on the edge of Chinatown. Staff are lovely, the rooms are well designed, spotlessly clean with a very comfy bed. Literally across the road from Telok Ayer subway station, plenty of nightlife nearby in this lively neighbourhood. Good breakfasts provided by two nearby restaurants as part of the deal. My second time here, I loved it just as much as my first time. Highly recommended.

The Amoy is a very nice boutique hotel, a very comfortable stay with wonderful staff.

A Lovely Hotel which I roughly reccomend if you are a solo traveller, I stayed in a single room, which was small as per Asian standards but the design of the room was perfect and unique in it's self, not your standard hotel room design which you tend to find anywhere worldwide, which was a bonus. I like the design of the Bathroom and the shower is just right which is also easy to control. The area surrounding the hotel was quiet at night, so I had a good comfortable night's sleep. Breakfast is offered from two different restuarants nearby in which I reccomend Henri's, But the Hotel is also surrounded by lots of other food establishments so you have plenty of choice. The staff are kind and very knowledgeable, They also gave me a run through of the room facilties and how it works, which was very much appreciated. Transport wise, Telok Ayer MTR station is directly outside, one side of the Hotel, just across the road. If you would like to stay somewhere which is comfortable unique and a little different from what you get from the more famous run of the mill hotel chains, as mentioned I would recommend the Amoy Hotel.

A small thing but instructions on how to work the nespresso coffee machine would have been great, but it's easy enough to work out after a few minutes. :)

Fantastic modern hotel in a great location

A lovely modern hotel right in the heart of a bustling CBD area. The staff were very attentive and allowed me to use the shower facilities at the sister hotel around the corner as I arrived early.

I would have liked a bigger room for the price paid.

Wonderful traditional hotel

Wonderful hotel within an ancient Buddhist temple near Chinatown district. Very nice room. But what was truly wonderful was staff: they were really supportive and able to assist us in every matter.

Unfortunately when we went there were some renovations in the lobby so probably we did not see the hotel at its highest potential
