Singapore hotels near Shaw Centre

Cons: Nothing

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

Cons: Lacked a great bar

Cons: Wish we could have stayed longer!

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

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: 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: Excellent breakfast

Cons: Nil

Cons: Shower area was kind of cramped and small

Cons: Could not use club room because I paid for the room with all the points I had earned and I’m in the top category as a spire member

Cons: Pool outdated. Hotel could use with a bit more character to completement its historical building sections

Cons: The facility seems old, but it doesn't look bad. Pool is small, but it was ok for kids.

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: 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.

Cons: Nothing

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: 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: 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.
