Singapore hotels near National Library

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

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

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: Too expensive but well worth the stay!

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

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: Newer cardio equipment in the gym

Cons: slightly expensive, but on par for Singapore.

Cons: Nothing, a better value than the Ritz.

Cons: Dark hotel, slow service/checkin, old hotel, outdated rooms in poor condition, noicy hotel due to the design of the hotel with. Music from the loby goes straight to the 11th floor inside the room! Old bathrooms.... In short a BAD experience

Cons: I am asthmatic so right when we settled in I couldn't stop noticing the stale smell. We also had just landed in SG so tried to check in 30 minutes early and our reservation did not show up until 2 pm. The staff was not the most attentive and the hostess held on to my phone for about 10 minutes.

Cons: Hotel room is not modern, a bit old even though after the renovation. Drinking water provided in the room is limited, needed to ask for more every day House keeping keeps changing the spot I put my stuff.

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: 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.

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: Hotel architect has tried too hard with fancy glitz finishes but forgot the fundamentals on layout and space utilisation. From an asymmetric reception area, congested lobby entrance through to a rabbit warren of bedroom corridor the overall feeling is awkward and impractical. The Loft Bedroom is an inefficient use of space with a lot of unintended consequences, unusable storage, ugly staircase and absolutely tightly fitted mattress into a small mezzanine deck bed. Hopeless to enter, without crawling from one side to the other, impossible for cleaners to vacuum and already starting to look dingy and worn out. The Dorsett Singapore is a big disappointment.

Cons: Outlook not that great, overlooks major civil construction associated with MRT expansion (one day it will finish) and busy dual carriageway, however no noise in the hotel.
