"Large windows throughout this hotel give full focus to the Singapore River. Standard rooms have a resort feel with their parquet floors and rattan furniture."

Lonely Planet
"Of the several hotels clustered at the Robertson Quay end of the river (the closest MRT is Tiong Bahru, but it’s not within walking distance), the fanciest is this imposing place."
Time Out
"Though located at the end of Robertson Quay, this riverside hotel is more suited to corporate travellers than tourists."

"The 574-room Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel is an upper-middle-range property by the river, offering views of the city and its surroundings."

Star Service
"Along Singapore River but far removed from the heart of the action, this bland place seems far past its prime, through low prices ensure its popularity among Asian travelers and tour groups."

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."
