Swissotel The Stamford Singapore

This was my second stay at Swissôtel, and perhaps because my first experience was so good, I skipped other options and rebooked. However, I encountered several issues this time. **Location:** It's right by Raffles, with a mall, supermarket, and subway station right below the hotel. The location gets a perfect 10/10. **Hotel Facilities:** They're decent and standard. The hotel is old but still well-maintained, and the air conditioning works great. **Room Condition:** The bedding hygiene was just so-so; I'd recommend bringing your own disposable linen set. The cleaning service was excellent, especially the lack of that unique post-cleaning scent often found in Southeast Asian hotels. The view, as pictured, is definitely worth it. **Breakfast:** This is where I have serious complaints. First, the variety was very limited, which is unacceptable for S$50 per person – a total rip-off. Second, items like the breakfast salmon, Japanese soba noodle sauce, and omelets were either not refilled after running out or had extremely long queues – another total rip-off. Finally, the breakfast service was non-existent; it was even exaggerated to the point where guests carrying breakfast plates had to make way for staff walking empty-handed. Absolutely terrible. **Summary:** For first-time visitors to Singapore, I still recommend this place because of its convenience. But for frequent visitors, I suggest comparing it with other hotels.

The room was very clean, and they offered Chinese-speaking service, which made communication super easy. It's in a downtown location with lots of attractions nearby. Plus, there's a mall upstairs with plenty of dining options.

Facilities: If this were back home, I'd definitely complain about the price, but Singapore is really expensive. You have to register as an Accor member to get high-speed Wi-Fi, and even though I am one, I found it very inconvenient. I even upgraded to the most expensive room in the whole hotel, but the desk was still tiny and poorly lit even with the light on. It wasn't comfortable for working during my business trip. Hygiene: Pretty good. Environment: Also nice, though you can clearly tell there's a mixed crowd; not in a diverse way, but rather that there are people providing other services entering the hotel. Service: The front desk staff at the executive lounge were very insincere!

The location is great, right in the Marina Bay area, and all rooms have balconies with views overlooking Marina Bay. The twin beds are quite spacious. However, the overall design of the room and lobby isn't particularly memorable. The direct connection to the mall is a big plus; it's great for eating and shopping, especially on a rainy day! There's no bottled water in the room, just an empty bottle for you to refill yourself. The housekeeping was also a bit sloppy, especially after staying for several days – many amenities weren't replenished.

The room was clean and hygienic, and the balcony offered a comfortable view. Hotel service was satisfactory. The location in Marina Bay, directly facing the Marina Bay Sands and Apple Flagship Store, allowed us to enjoy the water show at night. Overall, I was very satisfied with my stay.

Fantastic location right in the city center with excellent transport links. The views of Marina Bay are superb, and there's a subway station right downstairs. It's an easy walk to Raffles Long Bar for a Singapore Sling, or to Suntec City to catch the Duck Tours and Big Bus sightseeing tours. You can also stroll to Merlion Park and Boat Quay. The hotel facilities are comprehensive, and the rooms are comfortable. Awesome!
