Stayed here for 2 nights in a club room from 22 Aug during the Singapore National day fireworks. The hotel must have been busy as the view from the harbour rooms of the fireworks is phenomenal. Despite being busy the service was excellent.

The room, restuarants and services were all excellent. The staff very friendly and helpful. I liked the location, away from the hustle and bustle of Orchard road, but very close by taxi if you wanted to do some shopping. It was great to walk around the Marina area.

I'd call it an understated 5 star luxury hotel that isnt pretentious, but has everything you require from a 5 star luxury hotel as a business traveller.

I have stayed in many Singapore hotels and I will definately being staying at the Mandarin Oriental again on my next trip to Singapore in a few weeks times.

My husband and I have just returned from Singpore Mandarin oriental. The hotel is really fantastic, we stayed on the club level with its own concierge and club lounge, where we had great breakfast, afternoon tea and cocktails with hors d'oeuvres before dinner.
We have not experienced the SPA, because it was fully booked.
We have been spoiled since we arrived at the airport, where a limo was waiting for us with cold, refreshing towels and bottles of water.
We would definetely come back.

Spent one night only at the Mandarin Oriental.
We booked one Executive room with access to the executive lobby and late check out at no charge. Thus, we spent two full days in Singapore before going back home.

The room is a top floored and handsome viewed room.
We chose a bay view room.

The executive lobby allow you to get free drinks all day long.
The breakfast is trully extraordinary and delicious. We took a glass of champagne while eating our cramble eggs !

The hotel is located close to a big mall and a train station.

Tips : it's cheaper and quicker to get a cab from/to the airport.

I stayed in the hotel for 2 days as a business traveller. My room was a Junior Seaview suite. My feelings with regard to this place is mixed.

The location is "alright" but not really within walking distance to the cool shopping areas, and the coastal view is a bit gloomy. Its not really something for a holiday sort of stay. For business use, it was excellent location wise - very close to the financial district, yet still luxurious. Fairly quiet "corner" of the city.

Optically, the building is pretty hideous (as is much of Singapore from this time period). Inside its obvious that it has been upgraded (a lot) inside - recently. The lobby, elevators and restaurants were definatly of 5 star grade. The front desk service and lobby staff, also. (classic asian style service, tons and tons of employees).

The rooms themselves were not really to my liking. I mean, lets keep it real here - the room price of a suite - is under 500 euro - so compared to europe or attractive parts of the US, it's not exactly expensive. But... The bathrooms had dated style marble - which was not very nice, the ligthing was generally poor (which is never a good sign), the windows / sliding doors were of original vintage, which detracted from the luxury feel.

The AC was sort of weird, if you put it on 20c, it was meatlocker cold, anything above 20c (incl. 20.5) equaled 35c++ and very high humidity. Weird.

The carpet was nice, but never "felt" clean. The amenities were plentiful. The minibar and TV was very 1990's. Generally the room just didn't feel "crisp" in any way. Scrapes and stuff all over the place. The closets stank like they had been closed for 15 years. Also, the shower had nice long black hairs in it, not so nice. ;(

Cleaning (besides from the hairs) was mediocre.

So... I guess... Not horrible, not great. Personally, I wouldnt go there again.

Oh, the Mortons steakhouse at the hotel was as good as the ones in the states. Very very nice.
