Singapore Zoo

If you think Singapore Zoo is just a place to look at animals, take a few photos, and walk one round then done… honestly, you’re wrong 😄 It will totally change your expectations.

The biggest thing that makes Singapore Zoo special is its open-concept design. Once you step inside, you don’t really get that “animals are locked up in cages” feeling. Instead, it feels more like you’re stepping into their natural habitat, where you can observe how they actually live up close. Another thing I really like is how well the whole park is organized. The areas are clearly divided, so even if it’s your first time here, you won’t get lost easily 😂 Everything feels very well-planned and easy to walk around.

Also, what impressed me the most is how clean and well-maintained the whole place is ✅ The walkways are wide, the environment is super tidy, and there are lots of trees and greenery everywhere. Even though the weather in Singapore can be quite hot, walking around here doesn’t feel too tiring.

So whether you’re bringing kids to learn about animals, going for a chill family walk, or you just love nature and wildlife, Singapore Zoo is definitely worth spending half a day to a full day exploring 🦁

💡 Tips

I’d honestly recommend buying your tickets in advance on Trip.com. It saves you the hassle of queuing at the entrance, and sometimes you might even get better deals. If you’re planning to visit on weekends, school holidays, or public holidays, it’s better to book early too‼️These dates can get quite crowded and tickets may sell out faster than expected.

🚗 How to Get to Singapore Zoo?

🔍 Address:80 Mandai Lake Road, Singapore 729826

🚇 MRT + Shuttle Bus

Singapore MRT

If you want to save on transport 💰, the easiest way is to take the MRT to Khatib MRT Station (NS14), then hop on the Mandai Khatib Shuttle straight to Mandai Wildlife Reserve. From there, it’s just a short walk and you’ll reach the Singapore Zoo entrance easily ✅.

You can also take the MRT and transfer to public buses, but honestly, the journey will be a bit longer. This option is better if you’re not in a rush and don’t mind a more relaxed travel pace.

🚕 Taxi

Singapore Taxi

If you’re travelling with family, young kids, or bringing a stroller, taking a taxi is way more convenient. From places like Orchard Road or Marina Bay, the ride usually takes around 25 to 35 minutes, depending on traffic. It’s straightforward and saves you the hassle of transfers.

🚗 Self-Drive

Singapore Car Rental

If you’re renting a car in Singapore, you can simply set your GPS to:📍 80 Mandai Lake Road, Singapore 729826. There’s parking available at the site, and once you park, it’s just a short walk into the zoo. This is also a good option if you’re planning to explore other attractions in the Mandai Wildlife Reserve area on the same day, like Night Safari or River Wonders.

🐼 Must-See Animals at Singapore Zoo

🐼 Giant Panda

Singapore Zoo

When you come to Singapore Zoo, the Giant Panda is definitely one of the highlights you shouldn’t miss 🐼! The pandas here are from China, and most of the time you’ll see them chilling, eating bamboo, or slowly moving around, honestly very healing to watch.

And don’t worry about the heat because the panda house is air-conditioned and temperature-controlled. Even if you visit in the afternoon, it still feels super comfortable to explore.

🦧 Orangutan

Singapore Zoo

The orangutan is one of the most iconic animals in Singapore Zoo 🦧. With its open-concept habitat, you might get to see them swinging freely between ropes and trees like they’re in the wild. They’re super active and fun to watch, and honestly one of the most “wow” moments in the zoo.

🦁 Lion

Singapore Zoo

If you love big cats, the lion enclosure is definitely worth a visit 🦁. Here, you can observe lions resting or moving around in their habitat from a close viewing area. If you’re lucky, you might even catch them interacting or hear a powerful “ROARRR” sound that you won’t forget 😆.

🦒 Giraffe

Singapore Zoo

The giraffe area is always a favourite among families ✨. You can see them up close and admire how graceful they are, and during certain times, you may even get a chance to feed them. Watching them stretch their long necks to take food is honestly one of the cutest moments, especially for kids 😂.

🐘 Asian Elephant

Singapore Zoo

The Asian elephant enclosure is very spacious, designed to mimic their natural habitat. You’ll see them walking around calmly, playing with water, and just living their slow elephant life 🐘. There are also educational talks where you can learn more about their behavior and conservation efforts, which makes the visit more meaningful.

🦦 Otter

Singapore Zoo

The otters are basically the “happy energy” of the zoo 🦦! They’re always swimming, playing, and chasing each other around. Every time people walk past, you’ll see everyone stopping to watch them because they’re just too cute and entertaining. Both adults and kids love them equally 😆.

💡 Pro Tip: If you want to see the animals at their most active, try to visit in the morning. The weather is cooler, so many of the animals tend to come out, move around, and be more lively compared to the hotter afternoon.

🎭 Unique Experiences at Singapore Zoo

🥕 Animal Feeding Experience

Singapore Zoo

If you want a closer encounter with the animals, you should definitely try the feeding sessions 🥕. Some animals have specific feeding times where visitors can buy food and feed them directly, like giraffes and elephants. It’s a really fun experience because you get to see the animals up close and even take some memorable photos 📷.

💡 Do note: feeding activities and timing may change daily, so it’s best to check the schedule once you enter the zoo to avoid missing out.

🎤 Animal Shows

Singapore Zoo

Singapore Zoo also hosts multiple free animal presentations every day. The zookeepers will share interesting facts about the animals while showing their natural behavior up close. It’s not just entertaining, but also very educational, both adults and kids will enjoy it.

💡 Tip: Try to arrive at least 15–20 minutes early, especially for popular shows, because seating can fill up quite fast.

🍽️ Breakfast with Orangutans

Singapore Zoo

This is one of the most iconic experiences at Singapore Zoo 🦧✨. You get to enjoy your breakfast while watching orangutans up close, it’s honestly a once-in-a-lifetime kind of experience and one of the main reasons many people visit the zoo.

💡 Since slots are limited, it’s highly recommended to book in advance, especially during weekends, school holidays, or peak travel periods.

🚋 Tram Ride Around the Zoo

Singapore Zoo

If you don’t want to walk the entire park (or you’re visiting with kids or elderly family members), you can take the zoo tram 🚋. The tram goes through several animal zones and comes with commentary, so you can learn more about the animals while relaxing and saving energy. It’s a really good way to explore the zoo at a slower and more comfortable pace.

Great location! There's an MRT station not too far from the hotel, and the Singapore River is right behind it. You can walk about 1.5 km along the river to Clarke Quay, and even reach the National Gallery. The room itself was quite spacious, and I appreciated having purified drinking water. Personally, I'm not a fan of bathtubs, and the tissues disintegrated too easily when wet, which was a bit inconvenient. However, the hotel breakfast was excellent and had a great variety.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I stayed for 4 nights during my trip to Singapore and it was a truly satisfying experience. The biggest advantage is definitely the location. It's just a few minutes' walk to Orchard Road and close to Orchard MRT, which made shopping and sightseeing incredibly convenient. There are also many shopping malls and great restaurants nearby, making it easy to get around. The room was spacious and very clean, and the bed was so comfortable that I could relax easily every day. The room was well-maintained, and I appreciated the complimentary mini-bar, bottled water, and coffee. Above all, the staff were incredibly friendly. From check-in to check-out, their responses were quick, and they always greeted me with a bright smile, making my stay very pleasant. The breakfast offered a wide variety of delicious options, and I could see why the hotel's Carousel restaurant is so famous. If I visit Singapore again, I would definitely choose this hotel. I highly recommend it, especially for those planning a shopping and sightseeing trip.

First off, the location is incredibly convenient. Getting around is a breeze, and we could walk to most attractions. Even after a concert at 11 PM, we could easily take the subway back, and the walk felt very safe. Secondly, the room was bigger than expected, which was a real treat in high-density Singapore. The facilities were new, and they provided complimentary bottled water. The front desk staff were absolutely wonderful – so warm and attentive. The hotel's overall environment was fantastic too, very quiet and clean. I'll definitely choose this hotel again next time I'm in Singapore. Five stars!

Marina Bay Singapore|1.34km dari pusat bandar
The hotel's location is superb, and the lobby and public areas are spacious, grand, and clean. The service from the greeters, front desk, and luggage storage was excellent. The bay view room we booked offered an unbeatable view, and having a mall right next door made dining and shopping incredibly convenient. The only thing I want to complain about is the room service – it was the slowest service I've ever encountered in my life. Even the most patient person would lose their temper! First, we booked for three people, but only had two sets of toothbrushes and slippers. We called the front desk to request an additional set of toothbrushes, slippers, and a duvet. The front desk staff were super nice on the phone, but after waiting for an hour, nothing had arrived. We were about to leave, so we called again. Each time, a different person answered, and they were always very nice, but the items just never came. It wasn't until I called for the fifth or sixth time and finally lost my temper that everything was delivered instantly. Later that evening, after returning from sightseeing and ready to rest, I pulled back the covers to find a stain on the bedsheet. So, I called the front desk again, emphasizing that I hoped it would be delivered quickly because it was late and I wanted to sleep. Then began another endless wait. I called three times to follow up. Finally, I was so tired that I called the front desk and told them if they didn't send it now, then don't bother, I needed to sleep. I was already planning to just put a towel down and sleep on it, and *then* it was delivered. I really don't understand why the hotel's delivery service is so incredibly slow; it completely exhausted all the initial good feelings I had about this place…

I stayed at PARKROYAL COLLECTION Marina Bay during a solo business trip to Singapore, mainly because I had meetings near Marina Bay Sands. The hotel checked many boxes for me, especially its convenient location, Halal certified breakfast buffet and walking distance access to train stations. The reception area on Level 4 immediately left a strong impression. The interior is beautiful and filled with greenery, somewhat reminding me of Gardens by the Bay. It feels modern, relaxing and very photogenic / Instagrammable at the same time. I appreciated the convenience of online check in and check out. During check in, I was assisted by Yarik, who was extremely friendly and welcoming. He thoughtfully gave me a room facing Marina Bay Sands, which I truly appreciated. Thank you again, Yarik. The room itself was spacious for a solo traveller. Everything was very clean, and I really enjoyed the bathtub and toiletries provided. Another thing I loved was the coffee selection in the room. There were different coffee strengths available, from mild to very strong, which was perfect for someone like me who enjoys coffee a lot. I visited the hotel gym as well. It is not huge, but good enough for a basic workout. Since I am an Anytime Fitness (AF) member, I also walked to the nearby Suntec City AF branch, which was very convenient from the hotel. The location is excellent. Promenade MRT Station and Esplanade MRT Station are both within about five minutes’ walk, and the Merlion Park area is nearby too, making it easy for me to go jogging. Breakfast was fantastic with many choices. I especially loved the blended juice with ginger and cinnamon. On checkout day, although my late checkout request was initially declined by Lydia at the reception counter because the hotel was full, the team later managed to accommodate my request after I explained my situation. Thanks as well to Yi Quan for assisting during checkout. Overall, this hotel was amazing. I genuinely enjoyed the stay, especially the thoughtful service and the Halal certified breakfast buffet.

The hotel's location is excellent, offering distant views of Marina Bay Sands and the Merlion. Downstairs, you'll find a mall and the subway, making it incredibly convenient for visiting attractions. The facilities are also great. I stayed for two nights and was quite satisfied with both the bathroom and the bedding.

Orchard Road Singapore|3.93km dari pusat bandar
This hotel in Singapore sees a lot of foot traffic. The doorman at the entrance, who was quite elderly, told me to push my luggage up the ramp myself instead of offering to help, even though I'm a woman. However, I saw him assist other foreign guests with their luggage multiple times, which made me wonder if I was overthinking it. The hotel is located at one end of Orchard Road, very close to the Botanic Gardens, which are within walking distance. While it's not very close to the MRT, there's a bus stop right outside. If you're coming from the airport, you can take a direct bus, though it takes a bit longer. The first Chinese staff member who assisted me spoke very standard Mandarin and was very easygoing. Many airline crew members stay at this hotel. The rooms are a bit small, and so are the beds. The hotel pool looks exactly like it does in the photos!

This hotel is centrally located, very convenient to the MRT and bus stops, making it easy to get around even on foot. As it's surrounded by several academies, it's a paradise for young people with plenty of shopping malls and restaurants. The rooms have basic amenities, but they are thoughtfully designed, such as the hot water dispenser in the room, and shared irons, ironing boards, fridges, and microwaves on each floor. There are also coin-operated laundry facilities, which are very useful given Singapore's hot weather. The laundry room is connected to the gym, a nice touch so you can work out while waiting. For short stays, they don't clean the room daily. The air conditioning is excellent. The bathroom, however, doesn't have a wet/dry separation.

This was another stay at Hotel Royal @ Queens, and over different visits I’ve now spent close to 20 nights here. That alone says a lot about how comfortable and reliable this hotel has been for me whenever I’m in Singapore. One of the biggest advantages is the room size. For Singapore, the rooms are impressively spacious, especially at this price point, making it excellent value for money. The location is hard to beat. With MRT stations, bus stops, popular hawker centres, Bugis, Chinatown, shopping streets, and many of Singapore’s attractions all within easy reach, it’s an ideal base whether you’re travelling for business or leisure. I also enjoyed the swimming pool on the 4th floor, which is a great place to unwind after a long day. The only area that could use some improvement is the gym. It’s functional but quite basic, and upgrading the equipment would make the overall experience even better. The hospitality continues to be the reason I keep returning. A special shout-out to Mani and Lin Lin at the front desk for always being welcoming, efficient, and genuinely helpful. They consistently make guests feel at home, and the entire hotel team deserves credit for maintaining such friendly service. A lovely bonus is the beautiful church located directly opposite the hotel entrance, adding a peaceful charm to the surroundings. Overall, Hotel Royal @ Queens continues to be one of my preferred places to stay in Singapore. Spacious rooms, an unbeatable location, warm hospitality, and great value keep bringing me back, and I look forward to staying here again.

My overall experience staying at V Hotel was quite good. The hotel's location is very convenient, close to the MRT station, making it easy to get to Singapore city center, attractions, and the airport. There are also many restaurants, coffee shops, and convenience stores nearby, offering great amenities. Although the room wasn't particularly large, it was clean and tidy, well-equipped, and the bed was comfortable. The air conditioning and hot water supply were also stable. The hotel staff were friendly, and the check-in and check-out processes were quick and efficient. They were also helpful when I encountered issues. Considering accommodation prices in Singapore, V Hotel offers excellent convenience, quality of stay, and overall value for money, making it ideal for business travelers or independent tourists. If I visit Singapore again, I would consider staying here and would recommend it to travelers who prioritize convenient transportation and good amenities.

Great ambience and beautiful view. So nature and clean environment. Worth to stay and nearby to attractions and beach clubs in Sentosa.

Easy access transportation in and out from Sentosa Island. Love the seaview and garden view from the rooftop and also just a walking distance to Beach Station in less than 10mins from the resort.

My stay at JEN Singapore Tanglin by Shangri-La was fantastic! The location is superb; it's just a few minutes' walk to the MRT station and directly connected to Tanglin Mall, making dining and shopping incredibly convenient. It's a peaceful oasis tucked away from the hustle and bustle, yet still very close to the Singapore Botanic Gardens. The room was clean and tidy, with a modern and refreshing design. The bay window offered a comfortable spot to enjoy the view, and the soft bedding ensured a great night's sleep. The front desk and room service staff were warm, polite, and responsive. Breakfast offered a wide variety of options, blending both Chinese and Western dishes, and the taste was excellent. The outdoor pool and gym facilities were also very pleasant. It was incredibly easy to get around and visit Orchard Road. This hotel is perfect for both business trips and leisure travel. I'll definitely choose to stay here again on my next visit to Singapore!

This is an older hotel with basic facilities. It's comparable to a 3-star hotel in China, and the breakfast is about what you'd expect from a 3-4 star hotel there. Of course, the price is also around 300, but in Singapore dollars. If you're not traveling with family, you'd find much better standard room options and accommodations for the same price. Our family of four stayed here specifically for the two large beds. The hotel's location isn't far from the MRT station. Haji Lane and BOSS HOTEL (the starting point for the Legoland shuttle) are all within walking distance, and there are many bus routes nearby, making transportation very convenient. There are plenty of food and drink options downstairs, and there's an Indian minimart across the street from the hotel that's much cheaper than the 7-Eleven down the block. I misplaced something and when I called, they immediately knew which room I was in and what I had lost, which shows excellent coordination between the front desk and housekeeping. Thumbs up for that!

Stayed in their family room which is really two adjoining rooms. One has a double bed with a bath tub, the other has two single beds with a shower. Basins are outside the toilet altogether. Room 5155 has a nice view to the Southernmost point and the islands beyond in the Singapore Strait (and you can also watch the movies screened every night but without sound). Easiest way to move between the lobby and the room is by cutting across the swimming pool area at level 3. If you're looking for food options, there is a 7 eleven nearby, a French bistro and a fusion restaurant a few steps beyond that, and then the one altitude bar (but not open to kids) with a restaurant beside it (that is open to kids) in the next hotel. Convenient access to Kidzania via the bridge at level 2, and to Imbiah station (but gotta cross the road).

The hotel room was decent. Regrettably, there was no environmental protection card in the room, though housekeeping staff replaced my pillowcases with clean ones every day. The housekeepers were warm and friendly. I booked the room well ahead of time, and it offered great value for money in Singapore. The breakfast selection was not elaborate, yet all essential items were provided. The soy milk was thick and mellow, and smoked salmon was served on my last day. During my four-day stay, hot and cold dishes were renewed daily, which was a big plus. The hotel enjoys convenient transportation, around an eight-minute walk to the nearest MRT station. The hotel has several shortcomings: 1. Room facilities are rather outdated. My bathroom only had a bathtub with no separate shower enclosure. Installed against the wall, the bathtub made it hard to keep balance when standing inside, posing potential safety risks. Renovation suggestion for the hotel: install a standalone shower first if bathroom space is limited; both a shower and bathtub can be equipped only when the bathroom is spacious enough. Besides, low shower water pressure made bathing unpleasant. The bathtub tap delivered strong water flow, yet the shower head output was surprisingly weak for unknown reasons. 2. The hotel stopped providing bottled water for environmental purposes. It is recommended that the hotel install a water vending machine, as buying bottled water outside is quite troublesome. I had no idea how the built-in water filter dispenser worked and dared not use it. 3. The quality of complimentary toothbrushes was unsatisfactory. Some had leftover plastic burrs on the bristles and handle, requiring extra care while brushing, though not every toothbrush had this issue. Overall, the hotel is a pleasant choice and I would stay here again. I will bring my own toiletries and drinking water on my next visit.

My husband and I stayed at Pan Pacific to celebrate our 2nd wedding anniversary. Unfortunately, the experience did not live up to our expectations. The service was underwhelming from the start. The reception staff were not particularly approachable or welcoming, and we did not experience the level of hospitality we expected from a hotel of this standard. Our arrival experience was also less than ideal. We parked in the hotel’s car park expecting direct lift access to the lobby, but there wasn’t one from the area we used. We had to carry our luggage up the escalator and walk through part of a restaurant before reaching the hotel lobby. This was inconvenient, especially with luggage, and not the first impression we had expected from a 5-star hotel. One of our biggest concerns was the room amenities. When we called to request hot water, we were told to boil it ourselves using the in-room electric kettle. Normally, this would not have been an issue, except the kettle’s filter was rusty. We requested a replacement, but the second kettle was in a similar condition. This was disappointing and raised concerns about cleanliness. Another minor disappointment was the lack of basic bathroom amenities. The room did not include a comb or shaver, and there was no information indicating whether these items were available upon request. While I understand that many hotels have adopted more sustainable practices by reducing single-use amenities, clearer communication or the option to request these essentials would have been appreciated, especially at a 5-star hotel. The room was advertised as 46㎡, but it felt much smaller and more compact than we had expected. On a positive note, the housekeeping team did a good job of keeping the room clean, and the 24-hour in-room dining was a definite highlight and very convenient. The Marina Bay view was pleasant, although it wasn’t particularly breathtaking. Overall, there was nothing particularly memorable that made the stay feel like a luxury experience. Given Pan Pacific’s reputation, I expected much more. Having stayed at other 5-star hotels, I genuinely thought Pan Pacific would offer a better experience. We did not feel that the overall stay justified the price we paid. The atmosphere felt rather ordinary, and the experience lacked the warmth, attentiveness, and attention to detail we were hoping for in a luxury hotel. As this was meant to be a special anniversary getaway, it was disappointing that the experience fell short of our expectations. Everyone’s expectations are different, and others may have a better experience than we did. Unfortunately, based on our stay, we are unlikely to return and would consider other hotels for future occasions.

The room is tiny, really tiny. Once the door is closed, and you open a 26-inch suitcase, there's no room to walk. You can fit a 20-inch suitcase on the table, but a 28-inch one would definitely have to go on the bed. However, the location is excellent! Turn right out of the hotel, and in less than 50 meters, maybe even just 30 meters, you're at Bencoolen MRT Station Exit A. Super convenient for getting around, thumbs up, it's truly fantastic!

This hotel offers good value for money on Orchard Road. It's perfectly fine for a solo traveler, but if there are two or more of you, it's better to book separate rooms. I don't recommend the breakfast, but the fitness room is quite good – a decent size with various dumbbell weights, a bench, treadmill, bike, and a stepper, and it doesn't feel cramped. There's a pool, but the view is blocked by other buildings. It's a good option if it's in the late 100,000 KRW range, but I wouldn't recommend it if it's in the mid to high 200,000 KRW range.

The room was clean, but for a two-night booking, they only changed the towels. They didn't restock the minibar or coffee, even though it was included in the room. No coffee, no minibar, no drinks replenished, despite being 'included in the room'. The morning reception staff didn't smile and lacked service-mindedness. They weren't very helpful. They only spoke nicely to guests of the same nationality.

We had a very comfortable stay at Yotelair Singapore Changi Airport. The location is extremely convenient, especially for travellers with an overnight transit or early/late flight. The room was clean, compact, and well designed, with everything we needed for a short rest. Check-in and check-out were smooth, and the staff were helpful. It was a bit pricey, but very worth it for the convenience and comfort inside the airport. Highly recommended for transit travellers. 我们在新加坡樟宜机场 Yotelair 住得很舒服。地点非常方便,特别适合转机过夜或早晚班机的旅客。房间干净、空间虽然小但设计实用,短暂休息需要的东西都有。入住和退房都很顺利,工作人员也很帮忙。价格稍微偏高,但以机场内的便利和舒适度来说还是值得。很推荐给转机旅

Nice hotel, small but comfortable room. Quite quite self collection snack bar at check it. You can choose 5 items as per your preferences. There 2 big swimming pools next to each other. But that’s an issue because there is not enough sun-beds vs the rooms. People keep wondering around trying to find place to put their belongings and towels . Water in the swimming pool is not clean sadly. Breakfast is the saddest part of the whole experience . Very poor selection and not the best quality which was an unfortunate surprise. Overall we had a good time but there is room for improvement especially based on the 5* level the claim.

The restaurant downstairs is also very peaceful. The hotel's price and location are both excellent. I've been to Singapore four times, and I've stayed here all four times.

I had a wonderful stay at Grand Park City Hall for a birthday staycation with my friend. From check-in to check-out, everything went smoothly. The staff at the front desk were friendly, welcoming, and informative, especially since it was my first time staying here. The hotel’s location is very convenient, just a short walk from City Hall MRT, with plenty of shops and dining options nearby. The room and facilities were clean and well maintained throughout our stay. The gym is on the smaller side, but it had everything I needed for a good workout. We also enjoyed the swimming pool, which was a lovely place to relax and made the birthday celebration even more special. Overall, it was a comfortable, clean, and enjoyable stay. I would definitely recommend Grand Park City Hall for anyone looking for a convenient and pleasant staycation in Singapore.

Chinatown Singapore|0.83km dari pusat bandar
This hotel, adorned with plants, is a landmark in Singapore. Frankly, just taking a photo from outside is enough; staying here, you don't really get to appreciate it. The pool is tiny, more for decoration. There were sharp objects in the pool, and my child cut their foot pretty badly, a three-centimeter gash. I was surprised the hotel didn't even have antiseptic solution. It's very close to Chinatown; turn right out of the hotel and cross at the traffic light. You'll pass the Jamae Mosque, an Indian temple, and the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple. Directly opposite the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple is Maxwell Food Centre. You can walk the whole stretch in about fifteen minutes. From the lobby, cross the road at the traffic light on the left and walk straight ahead to find Song Fa Bak Kut Teh. Continue walking for another minute along the river, and you'll see the Old Hill Street Police Station. Keep going for less than ten minutes, and you'll reach Chijmes, where you can also visit St. Andrew's Cathedral. The whole route is about 1.5 kilometers.

My stay at the Hanting Hotel Singapore Orchard was better than expected. The hotel environment was clean and tidy overall, and the lobby was bright and comfortable. While the room wasn't particularly large, the space was well-planned, so it didn't feel cramped. The bed was soft and comfortable, the pillows were just the right height, and I slept very well. The bathroom was clean with no strange odors, hot water was consistently available, and the water pressure was good. All the in-room amenities like air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and TV worked perfectly, and I didn't encounter any issues during my stay. The hotel staff were very helpful and polite. Check-in and check-out were efficient, and they patiently answered any questions I had, which made for a very pleasant experience. As for the location, I'd say it's quite average – not particularly convenient. There aren't many attractions within walking distance, so getting to popular sights or shopping areas usually required taking the MRT or a taxi. Overall, it's a clean, comfortable hotel with good service, and the quality of the stay was satisfying. If you prioritize room environment and sleep quality over being in the busiest district, I think it's still highly recommendable and offers good value for money.

The location is undeniably excellent; you can walk to Marina Bay Sands and the Merlion. However, the service was the most mediocre and lackadaisical I've ever experienced at a Ritz property. I booked a twin room for my parents. The foreign guy at the front desk proactively offered us a room upgrade with a better view, but the room turned out to be a king-sized bed. We weren't informed of this beforehand, so after entering the room and finding a king bed, we had to go back to the front desk to sort it out. At the front desk, we were told there were no twin rooms available at the moment and that we should return to our room and wait. Okay, it was past 2 PM, so I understood that rooms might not be ready. After returning to our room, we received a call, urging us to stay in the king room, with the reasoning, ”We've already upgraded you, so there are no twin rooms left.” I replied, ”Okay, I didn't ask for an upgrade. I just wanted what I originally booked. Isn't that the most basic request? Is that so hard to provide?” The person then told us it would take about 45 minutes. It was 3 PM at the time, and I said, ”Fine, I'll wait!” By almost 4 PM, no one had contacted us about changing rooms, so I went downstairs again to inquire. Another front desk agent still couldn't confirm when a room would be ready and told us to go enjoy ourselves. At this point, I was furious. So, I waited for nothing earlier? My parents hadn't even unpacked their suitcases because they were waiting to change rooms, just sitting there for an hour. I ask you, is this truly the Ritz? Am I in the wrong place? This level of service and attitude is incredibly disappointing and the experience was terrible. I will absolutely never stay here again when I visit Singapore. I've seen enough construction sites 🏗️.

This was a wonderful hotel. We were told we could upgrade to a river view with a balcony and an extra bed for an additional $60, or a bay view room for an additional $120, and we opted for the river view. From our room, we could enjoy the night view of Boat Quay, and in the evenings, we relaxed on the balcony. The pool gets a lot of sun during the day, and the umbrellas aren't very effective, so if you don't want to get a tan, you'll need to prepare accordingly. Nevertheless, swimming while sipping a Fullerton Sling was exceptional. The breakfast offered local dishes like Laksa and Nasi Lemak, and there was even ice cream, which delighted the kids. Above all, it's a historic hotel located close to Merlion Park, and I believe it's definitely worth staying at least once.

The front desk staff had an abysmal attitude; I didn't feel like I was being served at all. There was absolutely no useful information provided – nothing about the hotel's shuttle service, the fact that the kids' club costs extra, or details about adding breakfast. The service was utterly terrible. Having stayed at so many five-star hotels, I've noticed that only the Chinese front desk staff provide the worst service, while those who speak English are far superior. The Splash water play area was good, but the Buds indoor playground charges a fee. The bakery on the first floor offers inexpensive bread that's huge and affordable. However, the Louge restaurant's prices are outrageously expensive, probably double what you'd pay outside. A bak kut teh, which normally costs around 20 SGD elsewhere, is 40 SGD here – you'd be better off adding breakfast to your stay. The location is also quite remote. Given this level of service, I won't be returning. The hotel itself is beautiful, though.

The hotel's location is widely praised, situated in the city center with convenient transportation links. It's just a few minutes' walk from the subway station, making getting around very easy. There are several large shopping malls and dining options nearby. Major attractions like Merlion Park and the National Museum are within walking distance, making it suitable for both tourists and business travelers. **Service Quality (13 mentions):** Guests generally agree that the hotel's service quality is excellent. The staff are warm and friendly, and check-in at the front desk is efficient. Some staff members speak Chinese, ensuring smooth communication. The service is meticulous and thoughtful; customer service proactively offers bottled water and other assistance. The professionalism and enthusiasm of the service staff left a deep impression on guests. **Breakfast & Dining (15 mentions):** The hotel offers a wide variety of breakfast options, with both Western and Chinese dishes, and fresh ingredients. Guests particularly recommend the hotel's specialty dining, including the lavish breakfast buffet and the executive lounge's food. Restaurant staff are attentive and thoughtful, ensuring a pleasant dining experience. **Facilities & Environment:** The hotel boasts comprehensive facilities, including a modern gym and pool. The infinity pool's view is particularly praised. Rooms are spacious and comfortable, with modern decor, offering high-quality bedding and bathroom amenities. Good soundproofing ensures a peaceful night's sleep. **Guest Suggestions (2 mentions):** A small number of guests suggest that the hotel should improve its room cleaning and maintenance standards to ensure that bathrooms and room facilities are fully functional, preventing issues like leaks and odors. Additionally, it's recommended that the hotel enhance staff service training to improve guest reception and problem-solving skills, especially when handling booking errors, member benefits, and assistance with investigations. Finally, the hotel needs to be more transparent regarding the collection and explanation of deposits and additional fees.

I stayed in a Grand Wing Deluxe Twin room this time, and the overall experience was much better than expected. The hotel's location is incredibly convenient, right next to TANGS Plaza, and just a few minutes' walk to Orchard MRT. It's perfect for shopping, dining, and getting around by subway. The room was quite spacious by Singapore standards, and two people staying there didn't feel crowded at all. The newly renovated design is simple yet elegant, and the natural light is excellent; the sunshine streaming in during the day was very pleasant. The bathroom came with a bathtub, and the amenities were Balmain, giving it a nice, upscale feel. What impressed me most was the bed. It was just the right firmness with excellent support – easily the most comfortable bed I've slept in recently. I had two consecutive nights of great sleep. There were also plenty of hangers, which is a thoughtful touch for guests staying more than one night. If I had to pick out minor drawbacks, the room ceiling wasn't particularly high, and the water pressure wasn't exceptionally strong, though still within a comfortable range and didn't detract from the overall experience. Due to a packed schedule this trip, I didn't get to try the breakfast or the hotel facilities. Overall, I was very satisfied with the location, room comfort, and sleep quality. I would definitely consider staying here again on my next visit to Singapore. Highly recommended.

Facilities: There's a gym, but breakfast isn't buffet style. We had a really good brunch at a French restaurant near the hotel, and we got a discount for staying at the hotel. Cleanliness: It was alright, but some parts of the room were a bit old. Ambiance: It was okay. The lobby is quite small, and it's not a resort-style hotel. However, if you're visiting places like Universal Studios, it's pretty close to everything. Plus, it's very near the monorail, and there's a shuttle bus from the hotel to Vivocity, which is great.

Facilities: Quite comprehensive. Everything is well-appointed and exquisite. Slippers, laundry bags, razors, combs, toiletries, and soap are all of excellent quality. The shampoo bottle dispenser was a bit stiff. The bathtub was large. The direct drinking water tap was very convenient, and you can take the cups out, so you don't need to buy extra water. Hygiene: Clean and tidy. The glass cups had a slight odor. Environment: What you see is what you get, and it looks even better in person. The bed not being against the wall and facing the balcony view was a unique touch. The bathroom has no door, and the wooden sliding door for the toilet was stuck and wouldn't move, which should be noted. Service: The front desk staff and operators were flawless, and the Mandarin service was a commendable bonus! Room delivery service was fast! The housekeepers were also excellent. However, there was a dark-skinned male server at Prego who seemed unfriendly and had a stern expression. Breakfast was abundant, and the taste was good.

This hotel's strong suit is its food, so breakfast was much fresher and more thoughtfully prepared compared to other hotels I've stayed at. The communal washing machines are coin-operated, and the path to them within the hotel is a bit inconvenient, so I wouldn't recommend this place for long-term stays. Only one intern at the front desk was friendly towards Chinese guests; the other Chinese-speaking staff completely lost their smiles when I switched from English to Chinese, which was really disappointing. I definitely felt a sense of discrimination against Chinese tourists.

Good location, cute decorations, friendly staff. However I would rather have things that function instead of just decorative. The room doesn't have a proper sink for face washing. Well it has but it seems to mean for tap water which takes you forever for either having a cup of water or washing your face. Inconvenient to call food to the room, despite QR codes are everywhere, it led you to an empty page which was meaningless. The receptionist desk is messy and half of the time i see none there, because they are busy multitasking.

The pool have made my mom a bit disappointed because of not really have good maintenance since this is a 4 star global hotel, really cannot compare with Dorsett KL😌 I have met a front service counter staff, I hope she is just tired, because she looks like we owe her.
