90 Robertson Quay Singapore, Robertson Quay, 238259 Singapore, Singapore –

Lock in a great price for M Social Singapore – rated 8.3 by recent guests!

to get started.

The water flow from the rain shower.. The bed and pillows are fluffy much! Room service by a robot? How brilliant! Don't expect your food to be delivered by the robot tho!

Nh, Singapore

Modern Hotel. Staff were friendly. Shower was powerful. Pool and sun bathing area were quite nice. In the breakfast room they have a robot to make eggs which is pretty cool.

Alexander, United Kingdom

The ID in the room is interesting. Great experience to see the omelette robot in the restaurant.

Chin, Malaysia

Funky hotel on the river with cozy but functional room with high ceilings which makes it seem roomy. Fun robot that delivers items to your room.

Andrew, Singapore

Staffs were super nice and friendly!!!! Breakfast was simple yet good ; the robotic egg machine was really cool!!!

Valerie, Singapore

Small room but have a lot facilities like hot water, refrigerator. Comfortable room

Novida, Indonesia

Comfortable beds, quiet room. Water bottles brought to the room every day.

Thomas, Norway

The Design and Vibe was great. Restaurant in the evening was good. In general 'n great stay and will stay there again.

Andre, South Africa

The staff was friendly, had a great selection for breakfast and he bed was comfortable.

Kimberly, United States of America

We loved the location - walk out the front door onto the lovely river promenade where you could find numerous sidewalk cafes, many different cuisines. Good Restaurant attached to the hotel. Our room was very small - barely a few feet open on each side of the bed - perfect for minimalists. However, our suitcases fit under the bed and that helped. We were always out during the day and evening so a large space really was not needed. You can walk to the "city", the Bay and museums along the river although it is 30 minutes to an hour depending on your walking speed. When it is 90 degrees out, we found that to be too far for us. There are clean reliable buses or of course taxi services and river taxi's. The pool was enjoyable and we were so happy with the coin-op washer/dryer! Very Modern architecture & style.

The hotel was far off the MRT stations which made sightseeing a bit difficult. The room was very small. The bed wasn't too comfortable. The interior was very stylish but a bit cold with all the concrete.
The hotel had a washing machine and dryer which we used during our stay. You have to buy a token for S$8 each at the reception, which you can then use to wash your clothes. Hotel has a very nice and relaxing atmosphere.
