Singapore hotels near Dalhousie Obelisk

Cons: Not really a hotel for walkers. We like to walk a lot and take public transportation. Main entry for hotel best for cars/taxis. There is an after thought roped off area on the edge of the circle drive for pedestrians. The entrance is on 3rd floor up a steep ramp/circle drive which goes from ground floor up to 3rd level where the lobby is. We got honked at twice by taxis. At the top of ramp you arrive to the smoking break area for taxi drivers. Once past that you get to the the beautiful lobby. I think they are more use to people arriving by car/limo.

Cons: Room, view, art display, staff...

Cons: Book months ahead for three. When I got there. Two twin and push in a rolling bed. Room too small for accommodation

Cons: Great service and beautiful view!

Cons: Too expensive but well worth the stay!

Cons: Check out rush is poorly managed. Starting from waiting for elevators.

Cons: Price could be better. Availability of promotional specials would be mice.

Cons: Second rate reservation, checkin and checkout experience. Requested room unavailable. Overcharged. No senior staff availability. Poor conflict resolution.

Cons: they brought up and air filter

Cons: Too many kids in the pool.

Cons: The gym. For a hotel of this caliber and the size, the gym was a huge disappointment.

Cons: Passport was stolen by a staff member. Do not leave valuables out under any circumstances. Poor security.

Cons: 0

Cons: Very poor to no breakfast options except for the very expensive average breakfast buffet for $55.

Cons: piscina muito cheia, complicado ter momento de relax..

Cons: The food choices for dine-in service seemed limited and we're a bit overpriced.

Cons: Not only was the hotel and all amenities extremely overpriced, but it was way too crowded. You cannot get the experience with all the crowds. Your constantly waiting in line for everything! Including checking in, the pool, restaurants, etc. Very surprised that it did not meet my expectations.

Cons: Food is very expensive

Cons: We thought the Club 55 access would be an added value however I think they oversold the access and there were long lines to get seated within the time frame they reserved for cocktails hour. It was extremely annoying.

Cons: One thing I didn’t like was the long elevator wait times but that’s something I can easily get over because the positive outweighs the negative by a extremely wide margin.

Cons: Lacked a great bar

Cons: A fridge in the room. Keep the pool area tidy.

Cons: Not a single thing!

Cons: Newer cardio equipment in the gym

Cons: slightly expensive, but on par for Singapore.

Cons: Breakfast was ok but not as fresh SSI would have expected

Cons: Nice hotel, a bit expensive

Cons: Staff behavior not very friendly. Not much emphasis on Customer service. I had asked for an iPhone charger as I had forgot - they had asked me to deposit the phone as their policy is not to give it to the room but they will have one charger that is used to charge everyone. So deposit the phone and collect it when done. Did not supply utilities like tooth brush, ear buds, etc. I am a business traveller and expect these so I save from carrying them.

Cons: Everything else. Too pricey for what it is. Rooms feels and look old. 3stars most in my book.

Cons: 1. Badly-managed ground floor reception and registration. We arrived at the ground floor lobby and lined up with a number of other people. Only to be told by the young executive who finally served us -- rudely & impatiently -- that this registration counter was only for corporate bookings and we should go up to the 5th floor for all other bookings. If you intend to segregate and discriminate bookings, then perhaps some clear signage and wayfinding would help? Perhaps recognising that he had been rather rude, the young man then said he would register us anyway. He couldn't find our booking, asked to see the confirmation email, and then couldn't seem to wait the one minute it took me to call it up on my phone. 2. Poor manners at the 5th floor reception We came back at 1.30 pm and went straight up to the 5th floor reception, as instructed, to collect our keys. Chaos as there were many waiting to check-in. I lined up at what I thought was the concierge counter to ask what I needed to do if I was simply looking to collect keys rather than do a full check-in, and was barked at by another impatient man at the [unlabelled] counter to the side of me. Thank goodness for an older gentleman, Mr Suhaimi, who stepped forward to answer my simple question, promptly issued the keys, and assured us that our bags would be in our room, which it was. Kudos to Mr Suhaimi for being so well-mannered in a sea of rude Mandarin employees. 3. Went to our room. The shower cubicle had ugly black electrical tape all around the bottom, presumably to stop some sort of leak. Cheap toiletries. Old, tired fittings that haven't been updated since the late 1990s. Flat, overused pillows. 4. Breakfast the next morning at Chatterbox was dismal. Overcooked noodles, cheap butter, tasteless eggs. And a very small selection of food items that couldn't be called a buffet. 5. Rude service again at check-out, even though we had nothing to pay for and it was a straightforward sign-out. Doesn't anyone ever smile at this hotel? All in all, not worth the price, and certainly not worth our patronage. Don't bother with the Mandarin Orchard, it's way past its prime. There are many other hotels in SG that welcome you with a smile, maintain a good environment and charge you far less.

Cons: dual queen size beds would be ideal.

Cons: Almost 1 hour to check in and no apologies. The bathroom door accidently locked and took 40 minutes to send someone. Also when we went for breakfast my partner was told no slippers permitted. As a lifetime platinum member of Starwood I would suggest management needs a complete overhaul of staff and learn common courtesy. All in all I would never refer anyone to this or any Mandarin property.

Cons: Nothing

Cons: The room itself was very small. I was traveling solo so I didn't mind, though a couple might have some problems. Overall though it was a amazing hotel.

Cons: forgot my Apple charger iin room.when I checked out. I contacted hotel same day. immediate reply, but was told they could nit locate it. this can only mean a member of staff misappropriated it. Luckily it was just an adapter but coukd have been passport, phone, etc.

Cons: Rooms are small (superior), as expected, but bigger than some rooms I've had in Japan. Pay for the deluxe and the rooms are more normal sized. signage was limited and the taxi drivers didn't know the hotel, so took some time finding the back entrance for cars

Cons: We were in room xx01 Toilet flush failed. After they fixed, it works half the times. No in room refrigerator. The shower hose was leaking water. The linen was dirty but they did not change for us (hotel policy is every 2 days) Not recommended.
