Furama Riverfront Hotel Review (Deluxe Tropical Room + Executive Suite!)

Article Link: https://www.wahsoshiok.com/furama-riv... Hello everyone – welcome to another of my reviews. In this view, I’ll be reviewing my recent staycation at Furama Riverfront. It has been quite some time since my last hotel review - with borders opening, I found myself taking quick trips to JB or other SEA countries (Bali, Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh, etc) instead of doing staycations domestically. After all, I haven't travelled for over two years. Furthermore, with tourism back in boom, prices have also drastically gone up for local hotel stays. I was looking for a hotel to celebrate my birthday at and decided upon Furama Riverfront due to a few reasons. Firstly, it was relatively affordable. Secondly, it was situated centrally, with certain rooms granting a view of the river. Lastly, I had a pleasant enough stay at Furama City Centre, which I hope would be replicated at Furama Riverfront. Let's see how my stay went. I definitely enjoyed my stay at Furama Riverfront. I appreciated the levity and the modern touches of the Deluxe Tropical Room, and loved the sheer size and upscale touch of the Executive Suite. And as compared to Furama City Centre, Furama Riverfront's amenities (pool, gym, lobby, etc) are better maintained too despite being around the same price. It's also situated in a central area, with plenty of food options (Great World City is just a stone's throw away) and drinking places (it's near Clarke Quay) around. Granted, it's not at 5-star standard - I would have liked better quality toiletries, as well as more bedside power ports in the Executive Suite - but it's undoubtedly bang-for-buck. And as the icing on the cake, the service was top-notch too. When I feedbacked on the bathtub of the Deluxe Tropical Room, the service manager May immediately apologised and offered an upgrade to the Executive Suite room as service recovery. As I've indicated in advance that it was meant to be a birthday celebration, she even gifted me a cute Furama branded lion plushie. It's a small gesture, but one that speaks volumes about the service standards at Furama Riverfront. Those interested in booking a stay at Furama Riverfront can do so on the Traveloka app. Traveloka constantly has some sort of ongoing promotion, with prices so ridiculously low that I’ve personally booked about 90% of my staycations on Traveloka. Just for my readers, you guys can use the promo code “WAHTVLK” (non-SRV) for $10 off any hotels or attractions purchase (with a minimum spending of $100) for new users and $5 off any hotels or attractions purchase (with a minimum spending of $50) for existing users. The code is valid till the end of 2022. Here’s a pro tip: keep a lookout for Traveloka’s Weekend Flash Sales which occurs every Friday to Sunday for the lowest prices! However, this post is not sponsored – I paid my own dime to book the hotel. Furama Riverfront Location: 405 Havelock Rd, Singapore 169633
