We stayed at the MO - and would return tomorrow !! The hotel is in a brilliant location, really handy for lots of the sights and a taxi to some of the further away attractions was cheap. We upgraded to the Oriental Club and never have we been so well looked after. The staff there,in particular Jaya and the Manager Melvis Tan should be employed by the Tourist Board, they are so knowledgable and incredibly helpful. Nothing was too much trouble for them, they are an absolute asset to this hotel. Our room had a view overlooking the Harbour - which was amazing. We ate in the Melt restaurant - buffet style - but what a buffet, so much choice and desserts to die for. We also dined at Mortons Steak House and the Italian Restaurant, both good quality. We managed a couple of afternoons at the pool which again was extremely well served by the most friendly and efficient staff. We loved Singapore and when we return it will be to the MO. Sheer Class.

Good location (close to Singapore Flyer, Marina and Suntec Malls). Excellent rooms with every concievable facility (although a little smaller than some hotel rooms in its class). Service very good and would certainly recommend this hotel if you wanted more from your city break than "just somewhere to lay your head". Try and find yourself some time whilst you are there to spend around the roof top pool- the service there is fabulous- certainly on a level with hotels such as The Four Seasons. Complimentary fruit, papaers, magazines, sun tan lotion. Chilled water replaced every hour and the most wonderful complimentary sorbets delivered on a regular basis. Well done Mandarin Oriental, we shall certainly seek out other Mandarin Orientals on our future trips around the world.

the location is perfect just opposite marina bay. we spent our new year there to see the fireworks display. of course to get a view of the marina u have to pay little more but it was worth it. the whole hotel is done in an oriental theme. the rooms are lovely. downside being the pool area and a lousy gym. however proximity to the mall is good and so do not eat at the hotel which can be expensive - just hop into the mall and there are tons of good restaurants on level 2

My wife and I stayed here for only a couple of nights for our honeymoon on our way back from HK and Malaysia. We were tempted to go to Raffles only because it’s Raffles but the $1000/night price was enough for us to say no.
Man O was recommended by a friend who has stayed there before. We had a harbour view room so we could see the Merlion from our window. The harbour is starting to be dominated by cranes and shipping so is not attractive as say HK harbour but it was nice all the same.
Service was very efficient on arrival, check-in was smooth and professional. We were immediately shown to our room which was nice and features were all explained. Welcome drink took a little while but the quality made up for it.
The bedding was very comfortable; TV was still CRT but that wasn’t a huge problem. The decor at the entrance was a bit ho-hum, the quality of the wood was very good but it was very plain. Some like that, others don’t.
The hotel is very quiet and the service is very friendly.
We tried Morton’s Steak House. To be perfectly honest, we found it overpriced. The quality was good but I have had better steaks in Australia for cheaper. Quantities were humongous, probably too much actually!
For some reason though, the Man O seemed to embody Singapore a bit too much. Professional and clean, certainly, but perhaps also lacking a little character. But for no-frills, business-type travel, it’s definitely spot-on.
Location is quite good though the walk to the MRT is not exactly short – having to walk through a labyrinth of shopping centres to get there.
