Singapore hotels near The Cathay

Cons: at early evening bar noise comes to the rooms. hotel is old style, room doors are facing the inner court.

Cons: The food is terrible. It was wasting money.

Cons: Only improvement ineeded is USB charging station by the bed

Cons: The green in front of the hotel belongs ot the military. They woke me up at 6:30 am doing their exercises. Very irritating. Check before booking a bay side room if there are military exercises planned

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.

Cons: Absolutely no soundproofing in rooms Front desk not very polit

Cons: There was no engaged sign for the common bathrooms. Rented by 6 hour blocks, so no sleep in.

Cons: Missed my flight and they refused to get me a refund. How should I proceed on getting a refund since I've never used the room? Does Kayak stand behind the products they sell?

Cons: USB charger points were a bit temperamental but it was nearly 3 years ago

Cons: Nothing called many times they said they would contact me about a refund but haven't heard a thing.

Cons: Outlook not that great, overlooks major civil construction associated with MRT expansion (one day it will finish) and busy dual carriageway, however no noise in the hotel.

Cons: Hotel architect has tried too hard with fancy glitz finishes but forgot the fundamentals on layout and space utilisation. From an asymmetric reception area, congested lobby entrance through to a rabbit warren of bedroom corridor the overall feeling is awkward and impractical. The Loft Bedroom is an inefficient use of space with a lot of unintended consequences, unusable storage, ugly staircase and absolutely tightly fitted mattress into a small mezzanine deck bed. Hopeless to enter, without crawling from one side to the other, impossible for cleaners to vacuum and already starting to look dingy and worn out. The Dorsett Singapore is a big disappointment.

Cons: Subway breakfast - they only give you vouchers that you need to claim across the street. The part that i hate is they only give you 3 choices, veggie delight-cold cuts-i forgot the other one. I was really disappointed. Room - small Toilet - super small

Cons: Room was absolutely too small and it wasn't as clean as I thought it would be. My partner and I had to kill a cockroach on our first night. It wasn't a pleasant experience.
