Raffles City Hotels (Swissotel the Stamford & Raffles the Plaza) Review

Went for the buffet at Asian market cafe. Food selection wasn't that wide but food quality was good. I think they are famous for their durian dessert so it's a good visit afterall

We went to the Asian buffet to celebrate a family member's wedding Anniversary. The food and service were very good.

Please do contact them before booking..
Awesome place to stay but they don't update if some services are suspended due to some renovation while they are charging for the same..
Also no handphone for business ppl anymore..

Top hotel with comfortable rooms, modern amenities and conveniently connected to a mall. Location is perfect for a business conference as it is centrally located.

Went there for a wedding dinner, food was fine, everything seems great, staff were friendly as well

Great hotel in a great location to walk to most attractions.

The thing about this class of hotel is that if there is a problem (poor view from room) then they can, and will fix it. However aerating the bath tap to discourage guests from filling the bath is a cheap trick and should be beneath a five star hotel

Under renovation. Old rooms are tired. New rooms feel modern and cosy. Very helpful staff.

Stayed in Singapore for five nights with a friend and had a superb time at Swissotel The Stamford! Check in was easy and we were stepped up to a room on the 41st floor with ease. The room was exceptionally clean and comfortable and had an amazing view - we loved staying in the hotel almost as much as exploring Singapore!

Everything about this place was 5 star - the service was impeccable and you definitely feel like you're getting your monies worth. I'll happily stay here on my next Singapore trip!

A 15-minute walk from the restaurants at Clarke Quay, this polished high-rise hotel is 3 minutes' walk from City Hall MRT station and 8 minutes' walk from Parliament House.

Sleek rooms with balconies are equipped with flat-screen TVs, Wi-Fi access (fee), and tea and coffeemaking facilities. Upgraded rooms and suites add living rooms, and access to a club lounge with complimentary breakfast and evening cocktails. Room service is available.

Dining options including an elegant French bistro and a Japanese restaurant, plus a cocktail lounge, a poolside bar and a nightclub. Other amenities include 2 outdoor pools, tennis courts, a spa and a gym.

You can see the whole singapore at the top. Best experience everrrrrrr. .....

. . outdated .

Unbeatable views, excellent attentive service at equinox. Food quality dipped abit.

An amazing view from the 70th floor to the entire city

Great hotel. Five star experience. Good location near city. Accessible to most attractions within walking distance. Downtown view is also spectacular. Market place available at the shopping complex adjacent to hotel. Highly recommended

A stylish hotel but the insistence on moving to a 'do it yourself' approach (check in, breakfasts, coffees, etc) let's it down at the end

The hall where I'm attending the event was beautiful and the waitress that served was really nice and helpful. A great place to hold any event

Dinner and view was fantastic. Highly recommend the lamb

Room service not clean as expected for a 5 star hotel, towel remain unchange. Bedsheet unchange even has requested.
View and location is good.

Great service, great views, excellent rooms with all the mod cons, in a great location to head off each day and see the sights of Singapore. We'll be back!

Good location. Rooms facing esplanade marina bay sands

Great hotel, modern and contemporary. Recommend the views of the city and the gardens.. amazing

Central at heart of Singapore down town, ease of moving around city.

I do love this hotel but because of the poor large beautiful fish stuck in the tiny little pond by the spa I will have to give a 1!
These large fish need more space, they must be going out of their minds being in there all the time going round in circles.

Amazing view from Bar Rouge on the 70th floor. Until 11pm very quiet, then it starts to get packed. Prices on Singapore level. Has a smoking room!!

Nice view. Had been there with my friends. I believe, it's in 79th floor at raffles

This was the world's tallest hotel when it opened, built by the South Koreans. This is the reason behind the unfinished behemoth in Pyongyang; they couldn't lose face to the South, n'est-ce pas?

Pillows and bed sheets have yellow stains. Toilet smells like public urinal :(

The best thing here was their vegetarian food. And the Indian restaurant is awesome. They have locals singing Ghazals here.

The next best thing is the easy access to the metro right below and the cab services that are available 24x7.

Reasonable rooms, though can do better with the amenities.

Great Hotel to stay , We stayed here 4 nights and the service was great, they really do care about customers which is great
Their buffet breakfast is amazing since you get the options for three different restaurant
Just an amazing stay

Good view from the hotel.good location with train station and shopping mall.in the town , convient to go to attraction of singapore.

Stayed here for 2 weeks and enjoyed our time here. Beautiful view, good amenities, friendly staff and convenient location.

Buffet dinner at swiss cafe was sumptuous. Service is impeccably first class.

Attended Equinox @ Swissotel for a wedding. Really great ambience oweing to the great view of Singapore presented. Foodwise, it was decent wedding fare. I did not find any dish exceptionally good or otherwise. Overall a decent experience, elevated by the view.

Environment and facilities are comfortable and beautiful. Their moon cakes are great.

Super hotel with south indian breakfast included and beautiful city view

Wide variety of nice restaurant and next to City Hall mrt.

The hotel has just been refurbished and it is really elegant. The rooms are spacious and trendy with many ways to stay connected. The beds are amazing as well as the rain showers... A must go to.

It's a bit tired and I hate the shower curtain over the bathtub, but it is priced well

This hotel lobby does not have toilet on the 1st floor.. have to go up escalator to 2nd floor. Self check-in by computer to input all our passport details and so on..

Great location, big mall underneath the hotel. Easy to walk everywhere. Our room on the high floor, has the view of the city including Marina Bay Sands. Very spacious room and very white bathroom. It has a special lounge for guests who has checked out, it comes with shower room, very convenient while waiting for our late flight. Good service!

Loved it. Room very comfortable and the swimming pool was super! Restaurant was excellent. Ordered set menu which gave a great selection. Very helpful staff in the hotel , nothing too much trouble.

Lovely to stay and very peaceful and courteous service

Attended wedding lunch here. Good food nice ambience

I do not need to talk about all these pictures. I was tied up on the 30th floor of Harbor View, but this view comes out at night.

I only ate at the restaurant. It was quite nice, the serving sizes are quite large.

This hotel advertises itself on being family friendly. It is anything but.

As a family returning from an extended overseas visit from UK to Singapore, we decided on a 24 stopover. We'd budgeted everything carefully (as families do) with just over $100.00 for food and a bit of MRT travel for sights etc. That was wiped out when the check-in staff refused to book us into the hotel without taking a SG$100.00 credit card swipe which locked the funds destined for the days food etc. This was even after explaining the situation I.e. that we were relying on that money to feed ourselves. The $100.00 deposit was not stipulated in any of our travel documentation or itinerary. Charging it without notice meant it was impossible to budget for.

We had to scrape scraps of leftover UK currency together and spend over an hour finding an open money exchange, otherwise my kids would be hungry.

Don't count on a 'breathtaking view' as your just as likely to get a view over the Raffles City shopping centre roof (as we have) as opposed to the much touted views over the bay. Can't even chill a water as the fridge doesn't work properly.

I had high hopes for this place due to its central location and easy access to the city but we're left spending money-less, mildly hungry and bitter. That unadvertised $100 deposit has pretty much ruined our stopover.

Antidote bar has a very nice happy hour. Try the cocktails.

The hotel is 5 stars in every ways. Nice one. Recommend for relaxed leisure and business trip.

The refurbished room was decent, however not very high up so sadly no views. Staff and service were fine, no complaints. Water pressure in the rooms could have been better. Sound proofing of the room door could have been better as noise from the corridor was disturbing at night. Gym was great and well equipped. Pool was average.

Great time there. Check in a bit slow for an automated check in and no management in sight. Everything else great.

I stayed here on a business trip for a conference on site and was concerned, like others about the previous negative reviews. But it was OK / adequate. The view was fantastic from my room and I couldn't fault the attentive service and the staff certainly met all my needs. I gave 3 stars because - they charge for Wifi, this is a general dislike of mine when I have to pay for it but I was told by one of the lovely staff members to join the swissotel loyalty program (which is free) and I would get free wifi, saving me $75, so that is a tip if you are staying there. The rooms are tired, compared to what you would get elsewhere. The carpet was old and the bathrooms were a bit old - the bath mat had mould on the bottom, no excuse for that.
The breakfast buffet was great but the room service food I found quite ordinary so like one of the other reviewers, I found the food court on the 3rd floor and it was awesome.
They are really lucky they have great staff.

Very nice and clean... also very convenient to almost everything...
