" Hotel Fort Canning is a cosy escape nestled in the heart of the city. The ambience is very laid back and relaxed - you might even temporarily forget that you're in Singapore. The restaurant at the hotel, The Salon, provides delicious food as well - both local and western, as well as very value-for-money set meals. "

" Awesome hotel with garden view. Love the deep soaking bath tub. Nice and friendly staff. Free WiFi. The hotel even offer a shower place after we check out, so that we can refresh ourself before we take late evening flight. "

" Located in a beautiful park with lots of greenery and walking paths. Also a central location in the city. Friendly and helpful staff. Beyond that there is not much else to rave about. Food was very ordinary, the rooms were small and overly complicated with electronic controls for lights and blinds. The automatic open/close bathroom door was so annoying that we had to call maint. to come make it manual. One light in the bedroom refused to turn off and even the maint. team could not figure it out. There are better options in the city for the same rate. "

" I only mention about The Salon. They have variety of meals include South East Asian local food. Mainly western food such as pasta, sandwich, hamburger and salad. Both taste and presentation are great.
Because of wide range of the menu, here’s suitable for group meeting. I also recommend solo traveler or couples because atmosphere is relaxing and bit authentic. Business MTG as well. "

" I attended a wedding lunch at the Grand Marquee. It was a western menu and the food was great. I was most pleased with the waiters. They were proactive and polite. The dishes were cleared promptly when we were done yet they did not seem intrusive. The venue has a great atmosphere and the staff took great care of the bride and groom. "

" The hotel is situated on a hill that's in the middle of a city area thus allowing it to be accessible yet seemingly secluded away from the city bustle. The nearby park has a nice scenery with plenty of photographic moments. While small looking on the exterior, the hotel has plenty of rooms and the rooms are spaciously designed with a modern look. Hotel service was always just a mere call away with the staff always ready to assist with a smile. A small hidden gem of the hotel is the heated swimming pool which was a joy to soak away some fatigue in the evenings. "

" This is a very, very nice hotel. The lack of a 5th star is because: 1. The location is a decent walk from anywhere 2. They try a little too hard. The rooms, for example, are beautiful and modern, but the focus is more on the design than usability. Where are the spare sockets to plug in electronics? Why does it take 30 seconds to lower the blinds that give you privacy in the bathroom? But these are fairly minor points in what is overall a great experience. "

" Second visit, again just for a meal but this is definitely on the list for our next staycation. The hotel is in a great location if you want somewhere leafy and quite but not too far from the city attractions. It's been sympathetically renovated so has lots of character too. Great for taking a walk in the park, learning some history of Singapore and seeing a play or concert when they are on. As always, the staff were friendly and helpful, the food was good quality and at sensible prices. A good choice to eat if you happen to be in the park for a Sunday walk with the kids too - there's a kids menu and the deck area has a few toys to keep the younger ones busy. Looking forward to staying here soon! "

" It's the anti-Marina Bay Sands. Intimate. Classy. Unpretentious. I had a small deluxe room for a quick "staycation" for some decompression. Cozy and stylish. Some details could use some polish, but they didn't ding the experience for me. Location in middle of Fort Canning Park is special, and sets it apart. Be prepared to walk up hill and sweat a bit if you want to get back from the nearby area or subway and aren't used to the heat. Tough it out, it's worth it....or you could cab it as needed. "

" Had a wonderful staycation during our anniversary.the room and the bathroom were huge and Classy. Service was good and efficient ...check in was done in 5 minutes .brilliant work.
The architecture of the hotel is also beautiful , combining both modern and historical design together. Can see why couples want to hold their weddings here. "

" Once you close the room's curtains, you would not be able to tell that you were in the middle of Singapore! HFC is surrounded by the park and thus a lot of the traffic noise is dampened by the vegetation. Add to this a wonderfully comfortable bed and an assortment of different pillows, and guests can have the most restful of sleeps.
The hotel staff are extremely friendly and helpful, and upon request, a variety of pillows were sent to our room for testing, until we found the right ones!
By Singapore standards, the rooms are fairly big, except for the bathtub which takes up a lot of space - who thought a bathtub in a tropical country was a good idea?! The hotel decor is elegant and understated, and everything is comfortable.
For the tech nerds, the lights, curtains, TV, are controlled by touchpads and also via the TV. There is free Wi-Fi everywhere, and even a keyboard to surf via the TV. However, the lack of individual bedside lamps can be an issue when one gets up in the middle of the night.
The spa, bar, and restaurant are also very good, and we ate quite a few meals there. The cocktails are very nice, and one particular feature is the 6-7pm free drinks hour on the patio, which gives guests a chance to socialise.
The hotel is close by Dhoby Gaut, a 5 minute walk through Park Mall, and one can spend a few hours walking around the park. Clarke Quay is also close by, a 10 minute walk through the park. The shopping madness of Orchard Road is also close by, a 12 minute walk.
Should we ever come back to Singapore, HFC will definitely be our first choice! "

" Clean rooms with smart features.
A nice little boutique hotel wish sits on Fort Canning Hill. Within short walking distance to Orchard and the Dhoby Ghaut MRT Station.
Downside is that there is no convenience stall nearby. "

" Without a doubt - historic, 5 stars service and facilities, cozy, and rooms are very clean and comfortable. However, price can be a slight turnoff, location is a little hard to get to, and it's a tad bit secluded from the main city. If you yearn peace and serenity. This could be good for you. If not, there are many other hotels all around town. "
