Mercure ICON Singapore City Centre

Only opened the day before our stay. We were impressed with the general decor, efficient lift service and the pool. Naturally enough they had some ‘teething problems which would be fixed with the maintenance program.

Great location. Easy walk to multiple hawkers, train stations and everything else. Good beds. Soap and shampoo smelt nice. Pool was nice to hang out after a long day exploring. Washing and drying machines are good and cleaned regularly. $5 SGD each, roughly 30mins for both. $1 SGD for two washing pods. No card or QR payment, head to the lobby for coins if you need. Didn't personally use the gym, but it is small but has enough equipment to do a small workout. Cleaned regularly by staff. Yes, rooms are small, but bigger than Japan size if you are familiar with them. As a couple, we didn't have any issues. The beds are high, so you can easily store luggage underneath.

Great variety for breakfast, comfy bed, pool and gym available, friendly staff, room was well organized, location (walking distance to all main sights)

Requested for high floor and good view. Indeed was given 11th floor and facing the pool. Peaceful and calming for the mood. During booking, informed that the staycation was to celebrate mom's birthday. There was a surprise balloon, card and 2 cupcakes for the celebration. Was indeed very surprised for the touching gesture as it is a very newly minted hotel and earlier guests have commented that there were teething issues. The touching gesture made our stay very pleasant and heartwarming. Simply and cosy room too.
