Singapore hotels near Far East Plaza

Cons: Nothing

Cons: Not use

Cons: Noisy runway

Cons: Pool Change rooms and shower very poor

Cons: staff need more training how to serve better esp the reception

Cons: Front desk not very friendly at night. Morning staff much better.

Cons: While architecturally very interesting, the hotel is like a maze! To go to our room on the 4th floor required the use of two different lifts and our room key.

Cons: Expensive but not by Singapore standards

Cons: Breakfast is not impressive - lots of choice but pastries are not good, juices are not fresh, muesli is way too sweet

Cons: Wish it was better priced

Cons: It's a very long walk from the reception to the lifts up to the rooms, but the staff are happy to help With your bags if you wish.

Cons: Airport shuttle service does not operate overnight and there is no way to walk 1000 feet.

Cons: Room is a bit dated

Cons: The location is a bit far from the shopping centre, and transport is not so convenient.

Cons: About the only negative is that the room was too cold. We had to turn the a/c off on occasion to keep the temp. from dropping below 25C.

Cons: Carpeting everywhere...makes the place a bit musty

Cons: Pool Less Cozy in terms of warmth of human kind Front Desk sometimes don't make you comfortable

Cons: The swimming pool area is on the small size for a 4 Seasons Hotel and requires a more tropical garden feel. Also, shockingly enough there is no outdoors bar area for people to have an outdoors drink at night. All hotels in the tropics should have a relaxing and good outdoor bar area for clients.

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: 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.
