10/10 Excellent
"Perfect place to stay because it’s attached to the funan mall! Only thing is it’s across the street from the fire department, so you may hear the trucks driving around at any point in the night, but I would still stay there again regardless!"

PARKROYAL COLLECTION Marina Bay, Singapore

8/10 Good
"The staff were excellent, the property was very clean. The details in the room could be improved, the shower door had a large gap and the bathroom floor got water puddles each time it was used which meant we had to use our towels to dry the floor, the toilet paper used was not five star quality it was one ply which meant we needed to use much more then if it was a two or three ply. The first night we checked in, the light switch for the bathroom stopped working we turned the light on but could not turn it off, the staff came up quickly and fixed it, however, a hotel at this level should have a system in place to monitor proper functioning of the rooms between guests. These may seem like small things but they are the memories that leave with the guests!"
