Overview of M Social Hotel Singapore
Set right on Robertson Quay at 90 Robertson Quay, Singapore 238259, M Social Hotel Singapore looks straight onto the upper stretch of the Singapore River, a short riverside stroll upstream from the bars and restaurants of Clarke Quay. What makes the property stand out is its design: the interiors were created by French designer Philippe Starck, and the brand describes the result as a hotel that "captures the spirit of adventure with theatrical interiors". Rather than the neutral, interchangeable look of many business hotels, rooms and public spaces lean into bold shapes, artistic decor and a playful, social mood.
According to Traveloka's listing data, M Social Hotel Singapore is a 4-star property that was built in 2016, with its last renovation also recorded in 2016. It has 293 rooms spread across 10 floors, which places it in the mid-sized bracket: large enough to offer a restaurant, a bar and an outdoor pool, but compact enough that the lobby and dining space still feel lively rather than anonymous. The hotel has also been known simply as M Social Singapore, the name that still appears on the brand's own website, so travellers searching under either name will land on the same riverside address.
The property suits couples, solo travellers and design-minded guests who want to stay within walking distance of the riverside dining scene with the river promenade right outside the door.
Room Types at M Social Hotel Singapore
Rooms at M Social Hotel Singapore fall into two families, Alcove and Loft, and the official site describes them as combining "bold design with cozy comfort" through artistic decor, floor-to-ceiling windows and modern amenities. Every category listed on the hotel's website is designed for a maximum of two guests, so families or groups of three or more should plan on booking more than one room. The ladder below runs from the most compact room upwards.
Alcove Cosy Room
The entry point of the Alcove family measures 19 square metres and is set up with two single beds, which makes it a practical choice for friends or colleagues sharing a room without sharing a bed. The hotel highlights its signature alcove ceiling, a curved feature above the sleeping area that gives this compact room a distinctive look.
Alcove Premier Queen Room
Also 19 square metres, the Alcove Premier Queen Room swaps the twin layout for a queen bed while keeping the same iconic alcove ceiling. It is aimed at couples or solo travellers who prefer one larger bed in a cosy space.
Alcove Terrace Room
At 23 square metres with a queen bed, the Alcove Terrace Room adds an outdoor area to the room. The hotel describes its styling as warm tones under a chapel-inspired ceiling, so it is a good pick for guests who like to step outside for a little fresh air between outings.
Loft Gallery Room
The Loft family introduces a duplex-style layout. The Loft Gallery Room covers 25 square metres with a queen bed, and the official description mentions raw marble flooring, a roomy sofa on the mezzanine level and nesting tables, giving it a split-level feel unusual for a room of this size.
Loft Premier Room
Also 25 square metres with a queen bed, the Loft Premier Room puts the emphasis on an expansive ground-floor area with a desk and space to lounge, plus an upper mezzanine. It works well for guests who need to get some work done during a city break.
Loft Terrace Room
The largest category on the hotel's room page is the Loft Terrace Room at 29 square metres, again with a queen bed. As its name suggests, it pairs the loft layout with a terrace, offering the most space of any room type listed.
Across the property, Traveloka's listing includes in-room facilities such as air conditioning, a TV with cable channels, a minibar, an in-room safe, a hairdryer, a bathrobe and a shower. Exact amenities can differ by room category, so check the room details shown on the booking page before you confirm.
Facilities and Amenities
For a hotel of its size, M Social Hotel Singapore offers a focused set of facilities rather than a sprawling resort-style list. The highlight is the swimming pool: the official site describes a rooftop outdoor swimming pool with city views, and Traveloka's listing also shows an outdoor pool with pool sun loungers, plus a terrace.
Key facilities recorded in Traveloka's listing data include:
- Connectivity: free WiFi, including WiFi in public areas.
- Front desk services: a 24-hour receptionist, concierge, multilingual staff, a money changer and luggage storage.
- Flexibility on arrival and departure: early check-in and late check-out are listed as available services; ask the hotel in advance, as these are usually subject to availability.
- Business: a business centre and meeting facilities.
- Recreation: the outdoor pool and a pool or snooker table listed among sports and recreation facilities.
- General: air conditioning, elevators and a safety deposit box.
The listing also notes that laundry services and beauty and hair salons are available nearby rather than inside the hotel. Traveloka's data does not record in-room dining at this property, so plan meals around the restaurant, the bar or the many options along the quay.
Location and Getting There
M Social Hotel Singapore sits on Robertson Quay, on the upriver section of the Singapore River promenade. The riverside walkway runs right past the hotel, making it easy to stroll along the water towards Clarke Quay and onwards to the river's lower stretches. The hotel's official site positions it along the scenic Singapore River, and much of its appeal comes from this waterfront setting, where cafés, restaurants and bars line both banks.
Getting around Singapore from here is straightforward. Taxis and ride-hailing cars can drop off at the hotel, and the city's MRT network serves the wider Clarke Quay and Robertson Quay area; use a map app to pick the most convenient station for your plans, as it depends on whether you are heading towards the city centre, Orchard or elsewhere.
If you are arriving from overseas, Singapore Changi Airport is the main international gateway, and Traveloka's listing shows that M Social Hotel Singapore offers an airport transfer service for an additional charge. Arrange it with the property ahead of arrival if you would rather not queue for a taxi, or find flights to Singapore on Traveloka and time your arrival around the 3:00 PM check-in.
Drivers should note that parking is limited. Traveloka lists parking with a surcharge, while the hotel's own website mentions several unaffiliated car parks within steps of the hotel without in-and-out privileges, so confirm current arrangements with the property before you arrive by car.
Dining at M Social Hotel Singapore
The hotel's restaurant and bar is Beast & Butterflies, which the official site describes as "a vibrant community dining space along the scenic Singapore River". Traveloka's listing records one restaurant and one bar on site, and between them they cover the day from morning to night.
Meal formats shown in Traveloka's listing data include:
- Breakfast, offered as a buffet as well as à la carte
- Brunch
- Set menu lunch
- À la carte dinner
- Snacks and drinks at the bar
Breakfast inclusion depends on the rate you choose, so check whether your selected room offer includes it. Beyond the hotel, Robertson Quay and neighbouring Clarke Quay are packed with riverside restaurants, cafés and bars, giving you plenty of choice within walking distance. If you would like to fill your days between meals, browse things to do in Singapore on Traveloka, from river cruises to attraction tickets.
Why Stay at M Social Hotel Singapore
The strongest reason to choose M Social Hotel Singapore is the combination of a river-facing address and a genuinely distinctive design. Philippe Starck's theatrical interiors give the hotel a personality that is hard to find in a standard business property, and the Alcove and Loft room families mean even the smaller rooms have a signature feature, whether that is the curved alcove ceiling or a split-level mezzanine.
- Riverside setting: the hotel sits on Robertson Quay along the Singapore River, with the promenade at its doorstep.
- Design-led rooms: six room types across two families, including terrace and duplex-style loft options.
- Pool with a view: an outdoor pool with sun loungers, described by the hotel as a rooftop pool with city views.
- Relatively recent build: built in 2016 according to Traveloka's listing.
- Practical services: a 24-hour receptionist, concierge, luggage storage and free WiFi.
Keep in mind that every room type is designed for up to two guests, so larger groups will need multiple rooms. If you are still weighing up options, compare other hotels in Singapore on Traveloka to see how M Social Hotel Singapore stacks up against nearby riverside properties.
