Return Trip to Swissotel

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 26 Sept 2019
A long overdue return trip to the Swissotel Merchant Court, Singapore. The attention to detail, friendliness off ALL staff and the facilities are all superb. Arrived from Perth WA for a 6 day stay and was met by Allen in reception. It was like coming home and seeing family after a long break... Great hotel, great people and a great Club Room - from where I write this review. Thank you Swissotel. Steve & Mandy Defty. Cheers!

We stayed here for 3 nights while going to the Singapore GP and it was a very nice hotel just a few metres from all the bars and restaurants along the river at Clark Quay and Boat Quay.

We checked in on Friday evening, there is a huge reception with good wifi and a nice bar. We were given free upgrades from twin beds to twin doubles which was nice. The room was quiet, even when we slept till midday which was good for us with jetlag.

The bathroom was very nicely presented, although the water had a tendency to alternate from luke warm to nice and hot which was a little annoying.

I took advantage of the pool area on the last day with free towels and comfy seats, very handy in the middle of town.

One other thing that was really handy is that they provide free mobile data dongles which can provide wifi while you are out and about, great if your mobile company charges £5 per Meg.

All in all a good stay and I would go there again.

My wife and I have just returned from staying at the Swissotel Merchant Court as part of a trip to Singapore & Bali.
We used trip advisor lots beforehand to decide where to stay and so I felt it only right to help by giving our views here also.
To start with Singapore is fantastic, clean, safe and welcoming. The people are very friendly ( and helpful on the subway when you want to be sure you are traveling in the right direction - we had 3 people come up to us to offer to help ) however don’t go there and expect it to be cheap because it’s certainly not, particularly alcohol.
The hotel staff were friendly and efficient, we were there for an anniversary / birthday celebration trip and everyone we came into contact with knew about it, from check in staff to the porter and the house keeper who delivered the birthday cake.
The hotel is well located near Clarke Quay which is alive after dark and with plenty of bars and restaurants nearby and within walking distance ( or one subway station) to China town. Marina Bay Area is no more than 20 mins by train.
The hotel has a nice swimming pool and towels are available for all to use.
Whilst you are in Singapore you must visit the “Gardens by the Bay” and stay for the evening light show - it’s like being on the set of Avatar.
All in all a unique place to visit and worth the long flight and I would recommend this hotel based on our experience.

We only unfortunately only stayed one night but this hotel is definitely luxurious. We arrived at the hotel early to be told to come back at 3pm for check in when our room would be ready or we could pay $30.00 extra for an upgrade. We went out exploring and came back only to be told our room still wasn't ready. It still wasn't ready at 3.30 so were given an upgrade at no cost. The room itself was large and luxurious with all the amenities you would ever need. The staff are very professional and the location is perfect. Would like to stay there longer next time to enjoy the beautiful pool area.
