Our guest reviews

Not a truly 4 star hotel

Pantitra Couples - 5/13/2022 Confirmed reviews ALL

Room was not in a perfect condition. Some curtains were not functioning via the iPad as it should be. Amenities were not full. Some drawers are empty which makes it feel like you are not prepared to welcome the guests. Email communication was not attentive at all, there were several unanswered emails which I am still waiting. Check in was slow. Front office staff was not on top of things, they seems to be confused and seems to be unsure of what they are doing (should they faces an unusual cases). With the price of 4-5 star hotel, I expect a true 4-5 star service and property. I would probably prefer to stay at 3 star for the service that you provide.

Good stay, excellent location and improvement needed in terms of housekeeping

Joanne, B. A. Solo - 5/9/2022 Confirmed reviews ALL

SO great! Had to wait a while to check in as there was only 1 person at the front desk. But was greeted very quickly by Ismail and offered a cool drink. Hotel décor is fabulous. My only issue with the front desk has to do with the fact that the staff have to bend over to look at a computer to work. That can’t be comfortable, especially for a tall person, or their eyesight! It’s certainly not ergonomically friendly. Seemed to be a little confusion about the hotel package I had purchased. It was like they weren’t so sure of the package deal. It was quickly sorted though. I was in a SO cosy room which lived up to its name, it was very cosy and again, loved the room décor and layout. It was just me and the size was fine, but for 2, it would be ok. You’re not in your room much. And the complimentary mini bar/snacks was a nice surprise (not replenished during your stay, but your told that upon check-in). Service and staff was excellent, from the front desk, to the restaurant staff, to the pool area. Special mention to Ismail who whenever he saw me, would go out of his way to say hi, ask how I was doing. How he remembered my name is beyond me as the hotel was busy. It was very nice to be greeted by name. I had the 3 course dinner and breakfast at the hotel. Food was great. And special mention to Ally & Kartika (sorry, spelt name wrong) in the restaurant. Rooftop Pool area, not huge, never claimed to be, also great. Love the whole pool area vibe, awesome music in the background. Hotel is in a great location, bus right outside, taxis/ride share at your door, MRT a very short walk. Hawker market/stall directly across the road. Lots of shops/restaurants within walking distance. Close to just about all the touristy spots in Singapore. Great vibe to the hotel. Definitely recommend. Also suggest look at becoming an ALL Accor Plus member, lots of benefits.

Good stay

Not bad, however the iPad was not connected upon checking into the room. Requested for a better room because it’s bf birthday but got one right next to the gym. Nothing special either

Hotel is well located with plenty of food nearby. Room is gorgeous. Love the tub! However, the flush in the toilet does not flush well. Overall, we had a lovely stay. The only setback is that there is no parking available.

Need to improve the cleanliness of room and public area. Dust and grease on cloth hangers. Slow sewerage in bathroom. Very small room and lack fresh air. Hardly can say it is a 5 star hotel.

Ideally located and spacious room

Alfie T. Friends - 5/4/2022 Confirmed reviews ALL

Decided to upgrade to an Urban Room that offers a larger space. Well equipped with modern facilities such as iPad for TV control, impressive gym and great view of the CBD. The only drawback is the lack of parking info on the website which I only discovered upon check-in.

Thao Families - 5/4/2022 Confirmed reviews ALL

The stay and staffs were pleasant but i have really bad experience with breakfast. I waited very long for my breakfast and tea and coffeee. On saturday morning i ordered asian delight and it was dimsum- the food was cold, turn dark and dry. I asked the staff if this food suppose to be cold, they said no and i told them it is not hot at all, it look sad, they asked me if i want to change to a new one i said yes, they went in and went out and told me, there were nothing left for that choice. To me, its look like displayed food. My partner ordered avocado toast and the bread was not even toasted or toasted nicely. We were both very upset that morning.

Quite Central

Anonymous Business - 5/3/2022 Confirmed reviews ALL

The service staff at the Concierge was quite good. The staff at the restaurant seems to be understaffed as they were running mad without being able to finish. You need to restructure there.

Very nice room and very friendly hotel staff, especially a reception, luggage handling and pool bar. Breakfast was nice, but unfortunately it wasn't a buffet and became a bit boaring after few days.

First Impression was Acceptable, But Bad Experience In General

Neoh09876 3/24/2022 TripAdvisor review

1) At check-in, front desk indicated I needed to pay for the stay even though I have prepaid beforehand. Accor number was incorrect as well. Had to scour through my emails to find that I have paid to prove I have paid. 2) Bed head was very dusty. The dust seem like it can just fall onto guests when we are asleep. Corner of the rooms are dusty too. Maybe increase the housekeeping headcount as we always see the same person and she seems overwhelmed and is already doing her best. 3) Dialing “0” for concierge often ends with disappointment as out of the 3 nights, only managed to get an operator to pick up the phone once. Had to resort to sucking it up and just live without certain amenities or walking to the front desk when heading out to request housekeeping etc. When we did manage to speak with someone, they were friendly but getting in touch with any human felt nearly impossible 4) But the only time we managed to call the operator, had to wait more than 40 minutes for 1 new towel. A bit long for a small hotel, moreover a 5-star hotel 5) At early morning hours (0730hrs), no staff at front desk. Understand that it may be odd hours but would prefer at least one person so I can seek assistance. After my morning walk, wanted to check if we could late checkout but nobody was around. 6) Bedsheet had some stain and small holes. Was on the outer layer so we decided to live with it as we were getting tired of “seeking help” from dialing “0”. 7) Incomplete amenities. Did not provide shaver. Did not refill body wash on 2 of 3 times we had housekeeping. Would suggest Sofitel City which is nearby. A better hotel in general although similar priced.

Spacious hotel located right at the doorstep of Lau Pat Sat

We had a wonderful time at SO/ Singapore and love the location of the hotel right next to Lau Pat Sat. With just a few steps away from food heaven of satays and many others, we were spoilt for choice! Not forgetting the spacious room with the attached bathtub!

We are thrilled to learn that you have enjoyed the SO/ moments of luxury room with bathtub, and privilege to be in the heart of food haven.

Comfortable hotel in a unique part of the city

clem_tan 3/20/2022 TripAdvisor review

Located right in the central business district, this hotel seems an unlikely base for a vacation. However, Chinatown is a short walk away, as is the Singapore River with the Asian Civilization Museum and Victorian Theatre, Singapore Art Museum precinct. So this serves as a great base to explore the historic and cultural attractions of Singapore. Marina Bay Sands and Gardens by the Bay are easily accessed by public transport. Lau Pat Sat food centre is just our the front door - but beyond that, there are many restaurants and other food outlets within a 15min walking radius. Our room was well appointed with all the necessary amenities tucked away neatly out of sight behind a decorative door. Soft drinks and snacks were complimentary - a nice surprise! A small but pleasant rooftop pool with views of the surrounding office buildings caps this unique experience.

Pretty good

adeliahuangjxdine 3/12/2022 TripAdvisor review

Service at concierge and front desk was good. Breakfast menu very limited adding to that only entitle to one item. House keeping for make up was mostly disappointing making the stay 6/10 otherwise the stay would have been a 8/10. I like that it’s a boutique hotel, front desk last was lovely and concierge guy was great.
