I've stayed at the Swissotel three times now, and it's due for some updating...which is apparently happening in stages. Rooms are fine, really spacious, but carpets are showing their age, decor needs some updating. I only know that they're renovating because they put two of my co-workers in rooms that were much newer looking than mine...you would think they'd have put me in the nicer room since I have a point of reference?

Still can't believe they charge extra to use their gym facilities. That is unheard of in my travels. I was also bummed that they downgraded their bathroom amenities from L'Occitane to some very low end/Motel 6 grade shampoo/soap. And shampoo only, mind you, no conditioner!

All in all, it's still a nice place, great location and service is good. Just be sure to ask for a room on a renovated floor when you check in, you'll be happy!

Stay at this hotel only for the location. It is located on top of a shopping mall, as well as the MRT station. Please do not expect nice and luxurious bedrooms. Breakfast serves are below average due to the high occupancy rates i.e. the hotel has one of the largest number of rooms in Singapore.

Again, only stay in this hotel for its location!

The halls outside the room on the 16th floor smelled funny - like someone threw up one night and they were never really able to remove the smell.

The rooms too had a funny smell - it went away after the airconditioning was on, but it wasn't pleasant.

The rooms are clean. The service is good - I think sometimes too good. They have staff at every corner almost too eager to ask you if you need help.

The food is not bad - I was here for an event, so all I had was catered from the hotel.

The bathroom shower leaked water to the floor, because the bath didn't have proper drainage. The water seemed to travel around the bath sidewalls and onto the floor, and that made the floor wet. Room service cleaned it up by the time I got back though.

The Equinox restaurant on the 67th floor has a breathtaking view of the city. Simply excellent.

My husband and myself are frequent travellers to Singapore and most times stay at the Stamford - mostly because of its location. We have been there around 5 or 6 times so far and apart from the first time, have found every subsequent visit quite disappointing to start with.

We always request a non-smoking room with 1 king or queen bed, on a high floor and usually pay for a harbour view room. However, on almost all of our stays, we get told that either there are no non-smoking rooms left or no rooms with 1 bed. This is despite reservations being made months in advance. On a couple of occasions the rooms have been extremely 'tired' with old and stained furniture. After complaining, we usually get moved to another room - however, this is not the best way to start your holiday. When hotels take your booking and requests they should make sure they allocate you the appropriate room that you pay for when you arrive.

Having said that, we do like the large rooms of the Stamford, the location, balconies and the breakfast that is usually included! Yes we would stay there again - but we always check in with bated breath hoping that we get the proper room and amenities that we book and not have to move around from room to room.
