7.2/10 Good! (669 reviews)
Great location for getting around. Room was a bit tired looking, but clean and quiet. Staff were OK, but not particularly welcoming. However, no real complaints. I would stay there again.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

Great to visit the waterfront. The merlion is the symbol of Singapore but other that a nice place for photos not much else.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

Lights up at night. Many people so challenging to take a pic.

5/5 - Excellent

Avoid Sundays to visit as it will be crowded.

2/5 - Disappointing

Verified traveler

the merlion was closed for construction

2/5 - Disappointing

Verified traveler

There are two mer-lions. No one told us one was huge and the greater of the two. When we arrived at the smaller one, it was under going maintenance. Not a single person we asked knew or informed us of this.

2/5 - Disappointing

Verified traveler

it was under constructions when we were there (5/2019)
