Downtown convention hotel

Stayed here a few times for convention.

I like the fact the MRT is just at the basement and the hotel adjoins the Raffles City shopping center. So it is very convenient to get a bite or shop around.

Up high in the room also the commanding view is excellent. Try the restaurant at the top. Got a special mug that resemled the tower.

TOP VIEW OF SINGAPORE

This is definitely one of the great hotels in Singapore. We have stayed here twice & each time were very impressed with all levels of service & accommodation. The pool area shared by the sister hotel is spacious and lucky for us never crowded. I would recommend this hotel to anyone especially the first time visitor to Singapore as it so close to everything you need.

Unique Quality: This hotel is the tallest hotel in southeast asia and because of that you get spectacular views from your balcony. the position of the hotel in the Raffles City Shopping complex also means you don't have to go to far to find what you want. Their is even a supermarket in the shopping complex below the hotel. The Mrt is just out the front door. It is also very easy to catch a bus or grab a taxi from the roads outside. The buffet breakfast included with our room was a great start to our day.

The Stamford was OK

Overall, I found my stay at the Stamford OK. The staff were professional--I especially liked the bellboy who assisted me during check out. He was very friendly and very helpful. Too bad I never got his name.

The rooms were spacious for somebody staying alone. It provided for different kinds of tea, but only enough for two cups of coffee. It had your usual business hotel amenities--internet access (which was expensive), iron and ironing boards, heating kettle, an alarm clock that doubled as a control station for the lights, A/C, TV and Radio (the tv plays the radio) and a complimentary shoe shine service.

I wasn't impressed with the bathroom--something I am critical of, especially when staying in luxury/business hotels. It didn't feel clean enough, and there were stains on the tub. I did appreciate the fact that they provided me with many towels (but which I didn't use much--I normally bring my own. I am wary of hotel towels!) They looked and smelled clean, though.

I was just disappointed that I was assigned a 12th floor room.

The breakfast was OK, I've had worse. Besides, I normally prefer a continental, anyway, when out on trips abroad--but I venture to taste local delights and specialties whenever I have the appetite for it. It could improve on variety, though. They, for example, only offer 3 kinds of juices--orange, pink guava and grapefruit. While their baked goodies were aplenty, some didn't taste appetizing at all. I also hope that they could find a more efficient and effective way of keeping the food warmer.

I was travelling with my boss, who didn't like the place at all. He does tend to be very critical about his hotels. He didn't like the smell of the carpet (it wasn't that bad, but it did smell a bit old), he didn't like the breakfast at all--the tables at the Stamford Cafe were covered with white paper! Kopitiam provided a relatively better breakfast, but it opened later. The Cafe opened at 6:30am, Kopitiam opens an hour later.

Unique Quality: I think the hotel's best quality is its location. It was raining during my stay in Singapore (2nd week of January), but I was still able to move around and get to the Suntec City and the Esplanade. The hotel is connected to the City Hall MRT, Raffles City Shopping Center, Raffles the Plaza, and the CityLink Shopping Mall, which linked the above stated to the Marina, the Esplanade and Suntec City (where the Fountain of Wealth is located).

And because it was near malls, changing money was not much of a problem. For those staying here, there's a DBS Bank at the Raffles City Shopping Complex, which is just across Chjimes. Banking hours: 8:30am-4:30pm. There's a mall concierge if you need help on anything.

The next time I'm in town, I'd probably look for another hotel--I've seen better reviews of others.

Harbour views great - 70 storeys high

stayed at another hotel close to orchard rd last time, glad I was recommended this one. The rooms are quite comfortable. This hotel is a 5 star. The MRT is right below and Raffles is opposite. Recommend

Unique Quality: Pool facitities are great. The views are the best from your room ( harbour view ).

Above the Rest

My grandmother and a companion met me and my husband in Singapore. We stayed at the Westin Stamford in Raffles City. As of 2002, this hotel is now called the Swisshotel Stamford. The world' tallest hotel, this 1263-room Hotel provides guests with spectacular views

Unique Quality: 20 years later, I don't remember a lot of details but this is what the hotel website says

A Deluxe room offers consistently excellent accommodation. Local phone calls are free. Small touches make the stay, like an iron and ironinging board in every room. And it's very easy indeed to appreciate the convenience of a one-touch call for every service in the hotel.

A Harbour View room offers everything a Deluxe Room offers, with the added bonus of a guaranteed view of the harbour, the Padang and the drametic skyline of the Shenton Way business district. Stamford Crest furnishings are tastefully selected to reflect the decor of an elite private home. These palaces in the sky represent a vastly elevated way of living. A living room. A television in the bathroom, so you can watch movies while you soak. A top-of-the-line Bose Hi-fi System, with a collection of jazz, pop and classical music. Online staff.
