Copthorne Kings Hotel

Stayed twice this year at Copthorne King's Hotel Singapore and cannot praise this hotel enough.But as good as any hotel may be it is the staff that can enhance or spoil your stay.Without exception we were very impressed with everyone we came into contact with. Whilst it may be unfair to single out anybody we feel we must mention three people who went out of their way to give excellent service.Gadaffi was fantastic as was Xing Fang and of course Jimmy the concierge.They are undoubtedly an asset to the hotel and have ensured that when next in Singapore we shall certainly pick Copthorne King's.

This hotel is located on the side of a very busy road but in an area only a 10 minute taxi ride 10 SD (£6) from most of the main attractions. The river is very close to the hotel and there are excellent dining facilities located along its banks......5 mins walk. Our room 1005 located on the 10th floor was very clean and spacious with both a king size and single bed. The decor was light grey but the furniture was very dark brown and as the artificial lighting was poor it was quiet dark in the evenings but In daytime the nice full length window gave plenty of light. There was a desk/dressing table and plenty of wardrobe space together with the usual amenities such as tv, hair drier, kettle, coffee machine, fridge etc. plenty of electrical sockets which take British plug. Bath robes and slippers were also provide for use with the swimming pool. AC off a central system was very quiet and could be adjusted by a thermostat control unit in the room. A safe was also provided. The bathroom was very small and dated with a bath mounted shower which was impossible to control as it was operated by adjusting the taps. Toiletries were provided and nice but fairly small towels. Elevators (3) were very good and the reception area was large. The restaurant was very popular and offered a good range of both western and eastern dishes at reasonable prices. Lunch in the cafe is highly recommended. Breakfast in the same area was really good again with a good range of western and eastern food. Try letting the robot make your omelette for you.....interesting and novel experience!!! The bar is a very dark and large area with music some nights but you can sit outside if you prefer......very small area!! Be careful which beers you choose as they are expensive at up to 17 SD (£10) a pint. Make sure you specify which beer you want!! Overall no real complaints about this nice hotel but try for a room at the back if you don’t want to hear the traffic. Read less

We are located in Hong kong and we make an effort to make regular short holidays to singapore and have visited many hotels along Havlock Road. This time we booked for a family trip with our baby. We pre notified the hotel we had a young baby. The hotels baby cot was a huge travel which was too big for our baby but we just put him sideways in one half of the bed. (I did ask at reception if they had a smaller cot but I was swiftly told that is their one and only size). The poor guy brought 3 broken cots to our room before finding one that could be set up. So I would check them before letting your baby use the cot. First room was nice and dated but I like that old Singapore feeling to some of these older hotels. Room was nice and big and the bathroom was spacious. First night we slept well. Unfortunately we went out the next day and came back to drilling and banging of the refurbishment on the floor above and an overpowering smell of turpentine fumes which is unsafe for young babies. I was confused to why the hotel would put us so close to this refurbishment with a baby. But once I spoken to the reception we were moved to a newer renovated room on the other side of the building which was much smaller but very nice. I loved the bar layout and vibe but the beer prices were quite expensive for the area. Singapore River just a 5 min walk across havelock road and loads of bars and restaurants to enjoy. Overall I would stay again but I would be cautious to what rooms I would be staying in. Staff were friendly especially the concierge. Thanks. 😊👍 Read less
