“Very Impressive hotel”

Mandarin Oriental, Singapore

4 of 5 stars
Doncaster, United Kingdom
Jun 17, 2008

We stayed at the Mandarin Oriental for one night on the way back from our honeymoon in Bali. The hotel is very impressive, we stayed in a club room on the top floor, the room was excellent, huge bed, luxury bathroom, imaculately clean. As we were on the club floor we had the use of the club lounge on the floor below, this was where our breakfast was served - you could have champagne with breakfast, they were bottles on ice alongside the juices. it had an amazing view of the city & you could go in there any time & help yourself to sanwiches, soft drinks, tea / cofee & cakes etc (we were only upgraded to club facilities as we were on honeymoon - we're not usually that extravagant !). The service in the hotel is second to none, you could call down to housekeeping for clean towels etc at any time & we were automatically offered check out at 8pm as our flight was not until midnight, you get the feeling that whatever you wanted if it was possible to get it or do it for you they would ! However we have to say that we felt although the service was superb & the staff ultra polite there is something a little impersonal about this hotel - its as if they expect a certain type of guest, not ordinary people like us. We commented that although the hotel was fantastic you could use the phrase "style over substance", think hotel babylon, lol ! However for one night it was a great experience & one which I would be more than happy to repeat, lol. We even got a glass of champagne while we were sat checking out......back to reality now !

“Fabulous stay”

Mandarin Oriental, Singapore

Jun 7, 2008

We stayed at the M O for 4 nights at the start of our honeymoon. On arrival we were upgraded to a harbour view room with a huge picture window, with views over the business district, the harbour and the Merlion statue. Staff were helpful throughout, and couldn't do enough to make our stay memorable.

“Great honeymoon”

Mandarin Oriental, Singapore

5 of 5 stars

1/1 found this review helpful

Quite simply the greatest hotel I have ever stayed at. A true five star hotel.

Excellent service the entire stay, started with the airport transfer - a nice mercedes with a staff member waiting at the airport with us.

Check in was amazing, about 10 staff waiting when we came in and then the in room check in was great! We had a club room which overlooked the harbour and the floating soccer stadium. Apparently this is also where the F1 race will be held during the year.

The service was always great in the hotel from the excellent daily service to the staff holding the lift open and selecting your floor (thats one guys job in the foyer!).

The club lounge was great with cocktails every afternoon and a full a la carte breakfast each day. Snacks during the day were also plentiful. Staff in the lounge were great and were always happy to help.

The club room also gives you a late check out (8pm) and that was very handy!

Again, this hotel was the greatest hotel I have ever been too, and if I return to singapore will only stay here.

“Poor service! Give it a miss!!”

Mandarin Oriental, Singapore

3/13 found this review helpful

I am writing about this hotel which suppose to be a 5 star??

No way its not a 5 star.

We stayed here 16/05-20/05 Room 1237.

Check in was Ok the receptionist was bit rude though just wanted my credit card details.

We were on honey moon and first stop was bangkok which was Fantastic! and then oriental Singapore- The worst thing is that upon telling them that we were on honey moon we were given a smelly smoking room. my partner is asthmatic i told reception but they reacted like they don't care..

no upgrade no flowers no complimentary stuff from Oriental -we got chocolates and fruits from the Pullman King power Bangkok which is 10 times better than Mandarin oriental i think!!!

we were forced to stay in this smelly smoky room which we paid $AUD300 per night.

complained few times and given up we were told there is some expo going on there are no rooms available. Pathetic!

The water force in taps in bathroom is so slow that you have to take about 20 mins to shower properly.

staff here behave like they are very polite but they are not.

i will never stay at this hotel again. there are other options available like holiday inn or swissotel merchant in Singapore

written a complaint to hotel manager no answer. Simply Pathetic Poor Service!
