Wonderful Staycation ”

We stayed at the Raffles to celebrate our 25th Anniversary. We were mesmerised by the rich history & grandeur of the hotel. We stayed at the Bras Basah wing suite overlooking the palm court. The room included personal butler service and the amenities were rich in feel and comfort. We expected more food choices at the restaurants though. We loved walking around the property and the vibes at the Long Bar and Courtyard Bar. Thanks for making it a truly wonderful 25th Anniversary celebration for us !

Raffles”

Went with 2 kids and a pregnant wife The staff were brilliant. The welcome chocolates were great and even game another plate the day after Allowed a later check out as the kids loved the bath tub I know the kids loved their staycation, but maybe add either a small toy and children bath soap. The kids used the adult slippers and bathrobe but adding a kids version will definitely make it more memorable. Breakfast was great. The pastry was amazing even better than the cooked food in my opinion. The kids loved the hot chocolate which was regularly ordered. My advice with kids...they will enjoy it. They can roam around the hotel and be mesermerised. I think a children map of the place will be suitable as they can learn the vast history of this place. Swimming floats will great.

Over priced and over rated”

I would not waste money on this grand dame. The newly renovated hotel is beautiful but service is lacking. I called ahead to ask when I could check in and was told 2 pm. I arrived at 1.30 pm to test and sure enough, I walked into my room only at 2.30 pm. If you are a regular at this hotel, you would get great service. A table near the buffet was available and I didn't see the "Reserved" sign. When I asked if I could sit there, I was told that the table was reserved for a couple. "A Regular", they said. The rest of the dining room was full so we opted to sit in the courtyard. Food was adequate. It was not unbelievably good but very decent. Our room was on the ground floor, near to Beach Road. The first night, we could hear people above us walking back and forth at 2 in the morning. It was not a restful sleep. Overall, I would not recommend staying at this hotel. Use the money for something else. Something more tangible and long lasting. For me, once was more than enough.

A great Hotel with great servide”

The best service we have ever experienced in a hotel.

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.

A Truly World Class Hotel "Best Ever"”

We loved everything about "Raffles"

from the moment we arrived we were greeted by our butler and shown to our room on the first floor. the room was "breathtaking" and the size of an apartment, lavishly furnished with furniture from days gone by. the butler ordered us a no charge "singapore sling" which was delightful. the size of "raffles" hotel is massive and takes a little while to walk around and find the "long bar". the bar is very busy and hard to find a table "but wait" hotel guests have preferred seating. amongst the peanut shells on the floor we had our own table and loved every minute and soaked up the atmosphere. upon check out we were advised that we could return later in the day and freshen up (shower etc)which was great before we boarded our flight. taxis around singapore are cheap and raffles is close by to all the shopping one is capable of. cant wait to return to "raffles"
