The Swissotel Stamford was a great choice for our 4 day shopping trip to Singapore. It is connected to Raffles City and connected by underground to Marina Square and Suntec shopping centres. The MRT station is under the hotel and allowed us easy access to other parts of Singapore. Our room on the 37th floor had fantastic views over the harbour. The rooms are large, although the furniture is a little dated. The pool is shared with the neighbouring Fairmont and can get very busy at times. The reception staff were helpful and checking in and out was swift. I would recommend this hotel if you are after a clean, comfortable hotel in a convenient location. It is not 5 star, but a good choice if you are after a 4 star property.

We have stayed here at least on six other occassions. It is a very busy hotel with lots of business travellers.

They try very hard to be efficient with their guests but it doesnt always work.

On these last two stays we have been allocated terribly rooms. The first one Room 2765 had no view at all and was on the corner of the hotel making it a strange shaped room. The TV was so close to the bed making it hard to watch.

On check out I complained about the room and asked them to make sure when we came back a week later that we would get a better room.

On check in I asked again for a better room. There was no room available with a king size bed and that was non smoking. Both of these things I had specifically requested. We ended up in a smoking room Room 4865. Again a corner room with strange configuration. This room smelt of cigarettes and I had a sore throat in the morning.

This hotel has no personal service and takes no notice of return guests.

The only reason we stay here is for the fantastic location with the huge shopping centre underneath. For my shopping needs you cant go past the location.

I was so dissapointed on this stay however we may need to find a new hotel to frequent.

I have been to Singapore before in 1998 and had visited this hotel when it was the Westin. Sadly the bar in the 70th floor Equinox complex, which was great in '98, is now very tired and looked dated. Staff not that good and drinks took an age even though it was early evening.

That's my only negative, all else very good/excellent and as the many photos show great views and great position.

Good check in system and I liked the offer of an upgrade, which we declined as rooms already good. Great size and views towards the Merlion. Bathroom was very clean and in good condition. Beds very comfortable. Overall I score the room excellent, mainly because the room rate was very fair for the 40th floor.

Christmas trees were spread around the hotel, some real too, and gave a great feel.

Pool side was relaxing with towels laid out on the loungers.

We were here for Christmas Day (3 night stay) so had room service bring up breakfast which was on time, fresh and started off our shopping day along Orchard Road (yes all shops open with plenty to see and do). Odd to hear jack hammers in the streets at work though.

I fully recommend this hotel.

When i booked the hotel thru a travel agent, i have requested for a king sized bed, non smoking room, and i called them again myself making sure that i need a non smoking room. (health reasons). however when i checked in around 3pm, the room wasnt ready yet. after much talks, she helped me to get upgraded to a corner room, non smoking king size bed. appreciate the effort she made.
however, when i had to extend my stay (thru a travel again, which has been confirmed with proof) they couldn't find it in their system. it was a hassle, since i had to reschedule some of the meetings. finally after lots lots of talk to many different people they managed to "find" my reservation in their system.
other than that, location is perfect , room is big, standard swissotel amenities.
