Hotels near The Padang

Checking in started out to be disappointing initially as I booked for the premier club room thru Agoda but found out the room was not going to face the padang for NDP. Front office manager Jumie took over the checking in process and she went an extra mile to check for the availability of the room I wanted. Tho we had to make additional top up for the room, I was still very elated as my sole reason for choosing peninsula as it was close to the padang. And oh my the view was awesome and the experience was even better.. we felt we were part of the audience for the parade. About 2 hours after check in The front staff also came up to check on us if everything was ok and gifted us their delicious in house chocolates. Thank you so much Jumie for the wonderful gesture and going the extra mile just so tt my family and the children can enjoy the NDP.

Had a hectic flight with young kids, but the moment i reached the hotel, it was like heaven. Our luggage were taken immediately and we had a quick checkin. Tiffany kindly accepts to upgrade us to a room having bathtub. Having a bathtub in the room was one of my priorities for this travel. Thanks Tiffany. The room has a very nice decor and everything was digitalized. If you are not tech savvy, they will help you understand the digital device. Smart TV connected to internet, with youtube. Bed was too comfortable and kids do not want to wake up. The swimming pool was awesome and i can say all the staff are very helpful and wonderful Grand Park has an app, you can use it to message the staff of any queries during your stay. I was very impressed with the prompt reply and service. I wrote a message, sent and within 2 mins i heard the door bell. Wow Service. +5 stars hotel

I brought my family for a staycation overseeing the Padang for the NDP. Last year that it will be held there and with the height and location of the hotel, we are glad to be here for the best view of the fireworks. Disappointed for a five star rating hotel.. I am sure I'm not the only guest with a disappointing review for this hotel. Old furniture, dirty carpets that we prefer not to walk on bare feet and soft beds. With all due respect, this hotel can do so much better. I will be back if they could improve on their interior as competition is just across them. Cheers!

The comfortable bed and pillows in this hotel were undeniably the best ever experienced. We've travelled extensively and after a heavy day of sightseeing, it was just so comforting to have a good nights sleep. I'm still raving about the comfort. We travelled to the Fairmont very easily by train (with a change) from the airport. Even easier to get around by public transport with numerous train or bus options to all the top sightseeing options from just 2 or 3 minutes from the hotel door. Raffles is just across the street too. As the hotel is part of a shopping centre it was convenient to buy most anything you require from retail shopping to groceries, pharmaceuticals or fast food (if required). Hotel check in/check out staff were friendly but efficient and other staff were always helpful with advice and directions. Food and drinks were comparable with most 5 star establishments. I'd definitely recommend friends and family stay at the Fairmont Singapore and would return here again, if ever in Singapore. Staying here has piqued my interest in staying at other Fairmont establishments around the world. Signage and ease of public transport with the swipe on/swipe off cards has to make Singapore one of the easiest places in the world to get around.

The Naumi hotel turned out to be the perfect place for me. I arrived at about 9am and the room was ready (I had forewarned them on my booking form). Very friendly and helpful staff throughout my stay, remembering my name and offering advice whenever needed. The room has separate living and sleeping areas, huge lcd tv, business area, tidy kitchen area, and a lovely bathroom with shower and separate bath. Really couldn't be faulted. Roof-top mirror pool was a godsend in the sticky heat, and has fab views over the CBD, Esplanade and Raffles hotel. Location was also excellent. Backing on to Raffles Hotel, near the City Hall MRT, 10 mins walk from Fort Canning Park and National Museum, 2 to Chjimes. All in all, highly recommended. The rather expensive breakfast (for what it was) is irrelevant as there are plenty of food places nearby (I used The Coffee Connoisseur for breakfast, 10 yards away and serving until 11am)

My second staycay at Heritage collection on Seah this year! Hassle-free check in, with Rachel checking us in. Very smooth process and accomodating to our arrival time. Rachel has also been prompt in responding to my messages and also in updating us. They needed to do a pest control check during our stay but everything was fast and efficiently executed. We didn't have to be in the room too. Apartment wise, the room is on the smaller side but being a loft, it gives the illusion of being way bigger. Despite having no windows to see outside, it doesn't feel claustrophobic. Instead, it gives a very calm and cozy feeling. For the facilities in the room, it will be hard for me to choose a normal hotel room in future. There is a kitchette, microwave, toaster, small fridge/ freezer and kettle in the room. There is also a washing machine in the building, though I didn't use it. Only not so good thing is that the fridge tends to freeze the food and drinks that are too close to the open freezer compartment. Will be back again, for sure.

my wife and i stayed at raffles to celebrate her birthday on our way home from a european trip. it was our 4th stay since 1992 and i never cease to be impressed by the quality of the experience. there are certainly more opulent hotels in the world but surely there are none with better service and general ambience. the checkin, the butlers introduction to the rooms features and facilities, tea and coffee being delivered without charge at a touch of a call button, the attention to detail are features. raffles does a whole lot extremely well. the hotel had not been informed of my wife s birthday but i guess they observed the date is in her passport . i was called in the room to say that it was noted that we had a celebration coming up. we came back from the pool to find the room decorated with birthday greetings and balloons, and towels folded as frogs. our butler and an assistant turned up with a birthday cake and our celebrations were well under way. the rooms are huge with fresh fruit was provided daily. the room is serviced more than once each day and still has a genuine turn down service. at the pool cold bottled water , chilled towels and fruit skewers were delivered by the pool attendant /barman without request or charge and towels were arranged for guests on the sun beds. the pianist in the writers bar is just brilliant. leslie, the historian who has been at raffles for 40 years, met us at breakfast in the tiffin room, and arranged to take us on a tour of the hotel. we had a chance to recall things about singapore and the hotel from the 70's when we first visited the hotel to have a singapore sling in the old long bar. raffles does everything you expect from a 5 star hotel and much more. it is a reasonably expensive experience and perhaps some of the services provided are not essential but they are nevertheless enjoyable. i don't think i have ever stayed any where which is better value for money. you really get what you pay for.
