Categories

Cleanliness

Service
9.9
Consistently praised—staff described as attentive, polite and very helpful across many reviews; standout service offsets a few operational issues.
Location
9.6
Excellent central Marina Bay location and walking access to attractions; several reviews note obstructed views due to nearby construction but location remains a major plus.
Room Quality
8.1
Mixed: some rooms described as exceptional, but multiple mentions of dated decor, poor soundproofing, construction-blocked views and occasional late room readiness lower this score.
Amenities
9.5
Pool, lounge and a variety of restaurants highly praised; lounge and buffet options frequently noted as strong assets (some operational/child-policy caveats).
Value for Money
8.5
Perceived as somewhat expensive by some guests given the dated aspects and construction impact; good amenities and service partially mitigate value concerns.
Food and Beverage
9.5
Breakfast repeatedly described as exceptional and plentiful; restaurants and bar also frequently praised, with occasional notes about busy/less-experienced restaurant staff or disappointing canapés.
Overall Experience
9.7
Overall very positive and often described as unforgettable; strong service, breakfast and amenities drive high overall satisfaction despite specific negatives.

Buen hotel, excelente equipación pero no a la altura de su fama

Buenas habitaciones, y bien equipadas. Muy limpio, buen restaurante y cómodo

Pros:

sehr zentral, Sicht auf Marina Bay
freundliches Personal.

Cons:

Wir haben Club gebucht
konnten aber nicht in den Club Lounge gehen, weil Kinder unter 12 Jahre nicht erlaubt sind. Unser Kind ist 9 Jahre.
Wir haben schon in anderen Hotels Club Lounge gebucht, da sind Kinder erlaubt. Wir finden die Regeln vom Mandarin nicht sehr familienfreundlich!

Not a great value for money. You can probably find something newer and 1/2 the price
Pros:

Amazing bar, great breakfast.

Cons:

Construction site right outside the building; the room wasn't ready at 2pm. Do not book rooms with a Marina Bay Sands view, as there is a construction site right outside the hotel. The property needs a full revamp. Perhaps it was cool 8-10 years ago.

Polecam.
Pros:

Bardzo dobra lokalizacja, widok na Barina Bay Sands. Do Gardens by the Bay można dojść w 15 minut. Obsługa bardzo pomocna, łatwy kontakt z room service. Pyszne śniadania, duży wybór.

Cons:

Akurat podczas mojego pobytu trwały prace budowlane przed samym hotelem, więc z basenu był widok na dźwigi. Nie była to jednak wina hotelu.
