Citadines Raffles Place Singapore

Citadines Raffles Place Singapore Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Citadines Raffles Place Singapore, you immediately get that “I’m in the thick of it” feeling. This four-star serviced residence sits right on Market Street, and honestly, the location couldn’t be more central if it tried. The lobby has this clean, modern vibe that’s professional without being stuffy — which makes sense given you’re literally in Singapore’s financial district. I mean, step outside and you’re surrounded by gleaming towers and the energy of one of Asia’s busiest business hubs.

Location & Getting Around

Here’s what I love about this spot — Raffles Place MRT station is basically at your doorstep, which means the entire city opens up to you within minutes. You know what’s really convenient? Clarke Quay is just a short walk along the Singapore River, perfect for evening drinks and dinner. The Marina Bay area, including the iconic Marina Bay Sands, is close enough that you can easily stroll there after work or sightseeing. Couples seem to absolutely adore this location (they’ve rated it 9.6), and I can see why — there’s something romantic about being in the heart of the action while still having a quiet retreat to return to.

The Apartment Experience

What sets Citadines apart is that you’re not getting a traditional hotel room — you’re getting a proper serviced apartment with a functional kitchenette. This is actually a game-changer if you’re staying for more than a few days or traveling with family. The apartments are well-designed with that efficient use of space that Singapore does so well. Everything feels thoughtfully planned, from the work desk (essential when you’re in the CBD) to the living area that doesn’t feel cramped despite the compact footprint.

Breakfast & Practical Matters

The breakfast setup offers both continental and buffet options, which gives you flexibility depending on whether you’re rushing to a meeting or taking your time on a weekend. What I really appreciate is that there’s parking available on-site — and if you’ve ever tried to find parking in this part of Singapore, you’ll know that’s worth its weight in gold. The staff here understands that many guests are either business travelers or families on extended stays, so they’ve got that balance of professional service without being overly formal.

Why Guests Love It

The 8.7 rating really reflects what you get here — solid, reliable accommodation in an unbeatable location. You’re paying for the address as much as the amenities, but that’s the trade-off that makes sense in Singapore’s CBD. Whether you’re here for business meetings at the nearby financial towers or using it as a base to explore the city, you’ll find yourself coming back to a place that feels more like a temporary home than a hotel room. The combination of apartment-style living with hotel services hits that sweet spot for travelers who want independence without sacrificing convenience.
