Singapore hotels near Far East Plaza

Cons: 0

Cons: Food is very expensive

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

Cons: Too many kids in the pool.

Cons: they brought up and air filter

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

Cons: Great service and beautiful view!

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

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

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

Cons: Too expensive but well worth the stay!

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

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

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: Courtyard rooms not as good.

Cons: Wish there is a microwave on a floor but I guess it is not common in Singapore.

Cons: We were happy

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

Cons: Not a single thing!

Cons: slightly expensive, but on par for Singapore.

Cons: Newer cardio equipment in the gym

Cons: Wish we could have stayed longer!

Cons: Too many "sorry" replies instead of solutions for numerous issues encountered during the stay. 5 star hotel brand delivering to 3- or 4- star service levels. I rave about the Fairmont Vancouver airport; Singapore Fairmont doesn't come close to meeting the perceived brand value.

Cons: Too much air freshener in the lobby, $54 buffet breakfast and not as close as suggested to the shopping on Orchard road.

Cons: Excellent breakfast

Cons: The WIFI’s Internet access. It’s spotty, to say the least, and THAT, to me, makes an enormous difference. Even in the Executive Lounge on the 23rd floor, half the room, to the left of elevators and in the conference room ... excellent ... the other half ... forget it, had to use Singtel. Same in Prego, the Italian Restaurant on the ground floor (if you like black truffles, by the way, now they have a special truffle menu!).

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: 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: dual queen size beds would be ideal.

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

Cons: The distance from the City Centre could be a problem for some - it's not far but you need to take public transport or a taxi but there is a shuttle bus to the Novena MRT from the hotel. This does not concern us as we have travelled in Singapore many times and are familiar with the very organised and inexpensive Public Transport system that exists but it is good to be aware of this.

Cons: No train station but there’s a bus stop right outside. Shuttle service to the Novena train station is offered on regular hours though to address this limitation.

Cons: Cheaper rates

Cons: The bathroom smelled bad, possibly due to the mold and the toilet bowl wasn’t scrubbed. this was the only major downer. Asked for housekeeping, but the smell still remained after they cleaned up.
