Marina Bay Sands

Complete tourist trap and not designed for business travelers at all. Lack of conference room or quiet space completely disqualify the place for business setting. We actually had to rent a conference room at other hotel because everywhere in the hotel is so loud.,
Room is definitely not worth the price…99c store alarm clocks, thin cushion bed, super slow paid wifi, shower handle that keeps slipping and eventually falling off… list goes on.
I got non-​smoking room but when I got there the room smelled like a dive. I called the front, they wouldn’t switch the room and insisted to «clean the air». 15 minutes later someone shows up with this industrial size spray that reminded me of bug killer. 20 minutes later my room was foggy with this crazy smell of… death.
When I checked in at 2am there was only one person at check in desk, she said there are three people on duty after midnight but one was resting and the other has to man the back office. How many flights land at SIN after midnight? Many.
Check out is like the Disneyland, long wait for good 20~30 minutes. To me that’s just poor management.
Housekeeping service was excellent and left an elephant made out of towel… also they never took the top left on the desk.
Breakfast buffet is total rip off, I would not recommend to my worst enemy, poor quality, long wait.
fitness center… its huge! And view is awesome. Lots of cardio machines and free weights. I got very motivated.
Pool — 57 floor distinct MBS from any others. The stunning view and and design of the pool is definitely something unique to MBS and Singapore. Swimmer or not, dipping in the pool and hanging on the edge of 57^th floor is really cool experience. I would recommend hitting the pool when it’s open at six, or right before closing as they aren’t as crazy busy. Also do not forget your bathrobe, the front desk said bathrobes are available but that was total lie.
I remember my Singaporean friends told me that staying at MBS is once in life time experience, and once was enough for me.

Love it or hate it, Marina Bay Sands is kind of a big deal in Singapore. It’s not cultural compared to Little India or Chinatown, and it lacks any history, but it has the famous and iconic rooftop infinity pool, the SkyPark Observation Deck, a casino, and high-​end designer shops and many restaurants inside The Shoppes.
I stayed only one night at MBS, which was just enough time to walk around The Shoppes and to appreciate the infinity pool both at 4pm after check-​in and again at 6am when they open. The hotel rooms either face the city or the Gardens by the Bay, both of which are beautiful and unobstructed. The gorgeous bathrooms have a huge walk-​in shower, the beds are very comfortable and clean, and the hotel rooms are very spacious. The staff at both the main hotel grounds and at the SkyPark were very helpful and friendly. All around great service!
Marina Bay Sands is a very posh, over the top luxurious, and expensive 5-​star hotel. If visiting Singapore for a few days, do try to stay at MBS for at least one night to experience all the extravagance this hotel has to offer.

I loved the rooftop bar! Get out of your comfort zone and pick a random cocktail from their menu. I chose two different ones, enjoyed them both! You do need to be a hotel guest to enjoy the infinity pool though.

Another must see. The surfboard looking walkway on top of the building is one thing but there’s so much inside as well.
Highlights:
— Stunning unique building: cool to see in the light show at night
— A full upscale mall and set of restaurants including a Mozza
— Atmosphere is one of a sophisticated Vegas hotel
— Bar up top: grab a drink on the surfboard up top. Go in the afternoon if you don’t want to be fancy and have to dress up.
Lowlights:
— Probably not for everyone since things are on the fancier side
I’d come back to explore more and grab a drink and a bite.

Amaazing! Although we only live nearby, we stayed here for one night for my December birthday celebrations and to experience all that the hotel has to offer. It was a very memorable stay for following reasons:
— We were upgraded from the De Luxe Room to a Suite! Thank you! I was almost speechless upon entering the room. It was luxurious and overlooking Gardens by the Bay.
— The staff members were helpful and friendly.
— The 57^th floor Infinity pool was perfect for the sunrise!
— The complimentary breakfast with lots of surprises and covered all types of food such as Indian, Chinese and Western cuisines.
— First class concierge.
And the list goes on and on.
We will be back as this tops all the Hotel stays I’ve had in Asia.
If you’re into social media — Instagram, Facebook or Snapchat you can’t miss the Marina Bay Sands!
Perfect for photos!

For me, this was like being in Las Vegas — the same slightly over the top, everything greatly and grandly exaggerated look and feel.
Stayed here for only one night while in town — The shower in our room was a horrid experience as basically we ended up standing in a pool of dirty water during the shower. I went down and complained about this to guest services and we later saw a note that the issue had been attended too, but the issue persisted the next morning, and the water took forever to drain. I was really unhappy about this issue and also left feedback about it during check-​out.
Apart from this problem with the shower in our room, I would like to highlight two teams for their excellent service– the guys on the pool deck and our departure bell — hop. Both encounters were awesome! The team on the infinity pool deck made sure our entire party had a great time and took fantastic photos that will be lifetime memories, so kudos to that team working the pool on the dates we were there. Secondly, a bell hop by the name of Deejay (?) from Malaysia took great care of us when we were departing and made sure we caught the right cab and stayed with us and effortlessly helped with our 5 bags. That helped create a positive experience upon departure.

Natürlich war es ein Highlight 2 Nächte in einem der spektakulärsten Hotels der Welt zu verbringen. Ein Meisterwerk der Architektur, Statik und Logistik.
Das ganze Feeling lebt durch Höhe und Ausblick, den sich die Betreiber ordentlich bezahlen lassen. Eigentlich sind nur die oberen Geschosse zur City der Eyecatcher, darum bei der
Buchung sicher stellen, wo das Zimmer liegt.
Der Check in verlief zügig organisiert, bei der Größe darf man kein Familien Hotel erwarten.
HINWEIS:
Obwohl die Reise via Vorkasse bezahlt ist, wird bei Ankunft nochmal ein Pfand von $ 400, —
fällig, der bei Nichtinanspruchnahme nicht angetastet wird.
Die Zimmer sind großzügig, luxuriös und voll klimatisiert. Zimmerservice topp !
HINWEIS:
Die Getränke in der Minibar sind gechipt, rausnehmen heißt also bezahlen
(z.B. Dose Bier $ 14,-) !
Der weltweit einzigartige Pool in dieser Location «hat was» !
Er ist 1,50m tief, sodass jeder dort seine private photo session — ohne Rücksicht auf die
anderen Gäste realisiert. Er ist stets gut besucht, Einsamkeit kommt da nicht auf.
HINWEIS:
Ohne Zimmerkarte kommt man mit dem Fahrstuhl nicht nach oben bzw. zum Pool.
Getränkepreise am Pool ambitioniert: 1 kleines Bier (ohne Glas) und ein Weißwein $ 49,50.
99,5% der Gäste am Tag hatten dort kein Getränk in der Hand. Dieses geschäftliche Konzept hat sich uns nicht erschlossen.
Auch für das Dinner von $ 72, — pro Person haben wir uns nicht entschieden.
Das Frühstück für $ 48,25 pro Person hatten wir schon mit gebucht. Es gibt mehrere Orte
zum Frühstücken. Wir empfehlen hier das «Sky on 57» im 57 Stock auf der Poolebene.

TIPP:
Mit der Rolltreppe fährt man runter zum Einkaufszentrum, U-​Bahn und Casino.
Neben allen erdenklichen Nobelgeschäften, gibt es auch einen kleinen Supermarkt
und einen großen food court, wo man sich zu «normal sterblichen» Preisen bestens
versorgen kann.

This hotel is really in a prime location, walking distance to practically everything you would want, including the huge mall across the street. Checking in was slightly stressful. So many check-​in counters, but I guess there’s no choice when it’s such a huge hotel. Beautiful lobby. However, the room itself was just average. It wasn’t bad, just nothing really outstanding. You’re paying for the view of course, which is spectacular! The famous roof top pool is better in pictures than in person, mainly due to the large crowd that it attracts. Doesn’t call for a relaxing ambience at all. Breathtaking view no doubt, but very cold water and too crowded. I’d be ok with it if it was just adults, but honestly I felt like the kids dominated the place! For the price, there should be a larger area secured off for just adult couples. Instead, they have a small area for private parties. We had drinks in the lobby bar, which was somewhat romantic. The drinks were especially strong! The service was nice, but as anyone knows, everything in Singapore is pricey. I like that I can check this iconic worldly place off my list, but next time we are in Singapore, we will stay elsewhere most likely.

Un endroit où il faut aller au moins une fois dans sa vie !
J’y ai passé 2 nuits fabuleuses. Les chambres sont magnifiques, spacieuses et confortables mais helas tout y est très cher ! La nuit n’est pas donné mais ça vaut vraiment le coup !
Le must c’est la piscine au dernier étage qui surplombe la baie et le quartier d’affaires!
D’ailleurs, n’est-ce pas la raison première d’un séjour au Marina Bay Sand?

It has very nice view of course as it’s on roof top… but the price is super high and only asian food is available.
You need to make a reservation to get up to the roof top as they check from lobby. Then it’s very posh atmosphere. If you are not into those look-​at-​me scene., you might feel out of place.
Overall, I prefer Level 22 as it has better view, food and price.

Looks can be decieving! The view from our room and the view from the infinity pool that is the only thing this hotel can offer. Dont expect anything else because there is none! The whole stay here I never seen any staff only on the 57^th floor bec they check hotel card so you can access pool… And lobby. Room have empty walls, I dont even comprehend the furniture they put in our room. Wow! It is the worst funiture I have seen. Double sitting couch? On a big ass room? You try to picture that in your head!
Bed you cannot feel the 5 star hotel comfort and have cheap covers! Plan to leave your car with valet because there are no parking and goodluck on communicating with the people parking your car. Keep the parking stab they will give you.
The only reason I gave 1 star is there are no negative rating on Unilocal

Stayed two nights at MBS, excellent large south facing room on level 40, massive bathroom with huge closed shower room, separate toilet and twin vanity. Super huge free standing bath tub too.
Swimming pool is something else with stunning sunset views of cbd.
Disappointed the room had no espresso machine but did have kettle tea and instant coffee.
Food outlets super expensive but there is a food court down in the retail area below tower one, still pricey for Singapore standards but that’s to be expected.
This place is a must stay.

Riesen Schlange am Check-​in! Wer hier keine Statuskarte vorweisen kann wird es schwer habe! Toller Pool auf dem Dach! Top Lage!
Wer keine individuelle Betreuung benötigt ist hier bestens aufgehoben! Anonym und gut!

Marina Bay Sands is one of iconic places in Singapore. Most of my foreign friends recognise this place and would ask me whether is it worth a visit here. Well, I would say yes, for walking around and also it’s connected to nearby shopping Malls and the Garden By the Park. I won’t come here for shopping or meals unless for a special occasion.
To be honest, I don’t like the design of the rooftop, looks odd when you look for the far, but it’s easily recognised as Singapore as documentary shows usually show this hotel. Stepping inside, it certainly gives you the 5 star hotel feeling especially when you head to the rooftop. I have been there a few times and once at a restaurant, finding it the ambiance to be excellent! Good place to hang out to have a drink with your good friends and family, but don’t get shock when you receive the bill, it’s exorbitant. Once in a while it’s ok, but not on a regular basis at least for me.
Overall, I find this to be a decent high class hotel.

Pain getting in here with the taxi system, the place is crowded and not quite as nice as I was expecting in terms of the design and décor. Lots of mall space. Getting a cab to leave was also a pain, long lines. Overall frustrating dinner out.

I am happy to say that I checked off one of my bucket list items today. I was fortunate enough to swim in the Marina Bay Sands roof top infinity pool. It has been a dream of mine for a long time. We decided to take our daughters and check into MBS for a one night staycation. We originally booked the most reasonably priced room we could. And I am using the word «reasonable» very loosely. Nothing comes cheap at MBS. We planned to get a roll away bed for our daughters. We were fortunate enough to receive an upgrade to a much larger room when we checked in. The room was lovely! It was comfortable, clean and luxurious! We took our daughters to the famous infinity pool for the afternoon. It was everything I hoped it would be! We loved the view! The staff was also extremely kind. The poolside service was prompt and attentive. After a day of swimming, everyone was hungry. Our daughters were too tired for a sit down dinner so we went to the food court for a quick, easy dinner. I loved the MBS stay and experience! It us pricey, but I think worth it for a one time experience!

If you sign up for a club room, get ready for non stop eating all day.
I was here for a staycation, and got a club room. The room itself was amazing, it was on the 37^th floor so the view is just what you would imagine it to be. We were planning to chillax there during the day, then head to dinner somewhere else.
Well as it happened, we never even got to our dinner place. When we checked in, there was drinks and snacks from 2−4pm. We had some drinks and fruit and stuff at the club restaurant. Went out for a walk. And then when we came back, it was drinks and canapés from 6−8pm. The canapés were really good, AND they had roast chicken. The canapés were tiny little portions of scallops, tofu, mushrooms and other little delicately put together bites of delight. And tons and tons of macarons. French macarons, not the coconut chocolate american ones. I of course I gobbled up no less than 6 of them. Not pierre herme standard but definitely not the worst and hey it’s free flow I’m super happy with it.
Guess what else was free flow? Champagne! I checked out the label and it’s actually real champagne not sparkling wine from California or somewhere not even in France. My glass never got to being half empty because the server kept topping it up. Of course there were other beverages — fruit juices, all sorts of beer, tea, coffee etc.
So yeah we never got to fulfill our dinner reservation, since we were so full of good food by 8pm. Neither did we feel like opening our bottle of moet later that night, because we were already full of champagne. We ended up swimming at the infinity pool, which was very very crowded with people taking selfies (and of course we added to the crowd of people taking selfies cuz infinity pool yeah). The service there was great though, fresh fluffy towers dished out whenever you need them.
Felt like a total hedonist by the end of the day.

We stayed here our first night in Singapore, and I’m not gonna lie. The infinity pool was the primary motivator. This hotel is huge! With three wings, multiple restaurants, bars and lounges, tons of shopping– you could almost never leave during your whole vacation.
We were checked in efficiently and when they found out it was our first time in Singapore they upgraded us from the garden view to the marina side. In general all the interactions we had with hotel staff was very professional and enjoyable. Check out was very easy as well, we just dropped off our key.
The view from our room was incredible. I really don’t know if there could be a bad view with the way the hotel is situated. Our room was very comfortable with fluffy pillows, great mattresses and a walk in shower I enjoyed. Everything was very new and top notch clean. The ceiling to floor window gave us a beautiful view of the marina both by day and night.
The infinity pool and roof top pool restaurant were great. We visited both at night and watched the laser show and again in the morning before leaving. The snacks we had for breakfast were tasty while we enjoyed the beautiful morning. It gets packed during the day so it may be difficult to find a lounge chair!
It’s pricey as you would expect, I think our garden view room we purchased was 350.00 a night, and it just goes up from there. For me, it was worth it and part of the Singapore experience.

We only spent a night here but had a great experience. We arrived early (around 10am) and they were able to facilitate an early check in for us. The whole check-​in process was quick and easy. The infinite pool is incredible and there are a couple jacuzzis overlooking the garden that are great to relax in (and adult only). A section of the pool was adult only which is really nice when you just want to relax (majority of the pool is family friendly). The staff was great — quick to respond whenever we needed anything and really friendly. The room was really good — spacious, clean (loved the bathroom) and the bed was comfortable. We were only a level 10, but still had a great view.
Everything is fairly expensive (the room, cocktails, food etc) but that’s a given for a 5-​star hotel in Singapore. Cocktails were delicious!
Free wifi in the rooms which seemed to extend through the attached shopping centre for us and free printing and computer use in the Business Lounge at the bottom of Tower 3 — which was handy to print out our boarding passes for our next flight.
All-​in-​all, we had a great time and will definitely be back next time we’re in SIngapore!

So a hotel room key is required for access to the highly-​coveted infinity pool. After a few rounds of badgering the staff, I gave up on a work-​around and just forked over the money. I was telling a friend that the rooms could be complete shit holes and people would still pay just to get pool access. Fear not, this is not the case and the rooms are great.
I came alone so they probably felt sorry for me and gave me a sweet corner room on the 35^th floor. Tower 3, baby! Huge shower, wonderful toiletries, many electronic curtain settings, perfect napping conditions.
Needless to say, the pool really is fantastic and worth every penny. I felt instantly happier once I finally got there and saw it in person. The people are all very friendly and I loved that everyone is equally dedicated to snapping the perfect photo.

Das Marina Bay Sands in Singapore gehört zur Sands Gruppe, die in Las Vegas einige Hotels/​Casinos betreibt. So wirkt das Hotel auch — absolut riesig, mit einer beeindruckenden Lobby mit extrem hohen Decken, und viel Personenverkehr. Das Gebäude selbst erinnert an ein Schiff auf überdimensionalen Stelzen. Hoch über den Zimmern thront der Pool mit Restaurants und der Bar sowie dem Ku De Ta Club für Nachtschwärmer.
Wir wurden sehr nett empfangen und erhielten ein Upgrade auf eine Suite, mit city view. Diese war riesig, sehr schön eingerichtet aber auch irgendwie unfertig. Es fehlte an Dekoration und Wärme — eventuell hat man sich entschieden, aufgrund des durchschnittlichen Aufenthalts von 2 Tagen keine großen Anstrengungen in Sachen Einrichtung zu tätigen.
Der Blick auf die Stadt von oben war toll, wobei man darauf achten sollte nicht zu tief zu wohnen oder garden view zu nehmen– das Hotel liegt an einer Schnellstraße die direkt am Gebäude vorbei läuft. Hier probieren die Singaporeans gerne ihre heißen Schlitten aus — da kann dann schonmal der eine oder andere Ferrari vorbei düsen, und zwar mehrmals. Obwohl wir weiter oben waren empfand ich es als laut — daher muss man hier darauf achten.
Wir mussten natürlich auch den Pool testen, obwohl das Wetter bedeckt war. Oben angekommen war beim Frühstück nicht mehr viel los. Ich bestellte ein Clubsandwich und eine Kokosnuss (zum trinken ;-)), der Service war sehr freundlich und effizient. Das Essen kam flott und das Sandwich war großartig, Kokosnuss-​Saft schmeckt mir persönlich wunderbar, hier war das Auskratzen des Innenlebens noch ein highlight:-)
Am Pool angekommen setzte ich mich zuerst auf eine Liege um das Treiben um mich herum aufzunehmen. Es war nicht allzuviel los, der Pool mit ein paar Pärchen und Eltern mit Kindern, alle damit beschäftigt, dass hundertste Selfie zu schießen — wenn man schon hier oben ist. Ich versuchte dann zu schwimmen, was begrenzt möglich ist, und muss zugeben dass der Ausblick schon toll war. Musikalisch begleitet wird man am Pool — wie überall in Singapore — von den 80ern, fand ich irgendwie witzig, man kann alles mitsingen ;-). Hyper-​modernes Hotel mit Soundtrack aus der Vergangenheit.
Dies ist anders im Ku De Ta. Drinks hoch über der City zum DJ Sound mit einer schönen Mischung aus Ex-​Pats, Locals und Touristen — durchaus cool. Man fühlt sich wie am Deck des Schiffs, was visuell durchaus gefördert wird, fehlt nur noch die Szene aus Titanic, die sich durchaus nachspielen lässt :-)
Für einen längeren Aufenthalt würde ich das Hotel nicht buchen — dafür ist es auch zu teuer, aber einmal Pool und Club genießen sollte man (Zugang zum Pool nur noch als Hotelgast). Sehr guter Service und ein Blick, den man so schnell nicht vergessen wird.

Eigentlich ist das Marina Bay Sands zu gross um einen Gast als Individuum wahrnehmen zu können. –Das tut es auch nicht.
Die Architektur ist jedoch überwältigend und als Hochhausfan sollte man sich durchaus ein Zimmer in einer oberen Etage mit Stadtsicht nehmen.
–Und jetzt das Wichtigste: Nur als Hotelgast kann man den absolut besten, höchsten, athemberaubensten, längsten und tollsten Aussenpool der Welt geniessen! –Ein unvergessliches Erlebnis!
Nicht minder gut ist die angegliederte, riesige Shopping Mall.
Nun, jetzt noch zum Frühstück. Vorab, es ist echt teuer (Fr. 50.– p.P.)! Die Auswahl am Buffet ist aber sehr gross, die Qualität ist gut. –Man wird jedoch den Eindruck einer Massenabfertigung nicht los.
Alles in allem: Das Hotel ist sensationell!

Das ist das schönste Hotel aller Zeiten es past einfach alles Punkt
Der Pool ist einfach Geil alles sehr Sauber
Das Essen ist Supper

If you spend any time in Singapore, spend at least one night at the Marina Bay Sands. The locals refer to it as MBS since basically anything in Singapore that can be turned into an acronym is turned into an acronym. A room buys you access to the surfboard «sky park» pool on top. Higher floors get direct access. Lower floors you need to shuffle over.
The view from the MBS «infinity pool» is one of the great man-​made views on the planet. The pool opens at 6 am and it’s really the best time to hit the pool. Watch the dawn break. Secure your pool-​side sun chairs with ease. Get a coffee. Read the Straits Times. Watch 20something Korean rich kids maneuver selfie sticks around the pool.
We stayed in a jr suite and it was prime. Great extras, tub for two, and a balcony. Never stayed in a hotel with a balcony. Great for hang drying your hand washed items as well.

I have stayed here 3 times but have done my dash with them because 1. the novelty has worn off 2. the staff are a little sleepy
Their club room is fantasic, super huge and spotless with everything you need and more. Of course it’s all about the view! Service is Agrade once you have checked in but the reception staff are a bit sleepy. The upside to paying a bit more for a clubroom is that you get to have your breakfast and cocktails up on sky deck where as other have to pay for that. the views from the top are amazing and i never get tired of it.

Wir waren nun schon zum zweiten Mal in diesem Hotel und haben den Aufenthalt wieder sehr genossen. Es ist riesig und perfekt durchorganisiert. Schon mit der Reservierungsbestätigung erhält man eine Info, in welchem Tower der Check-​In stattfindet. Da wir in der Nacht ankamen war dies bei uns mit keiner Wartezeit verbunden. Unser (sehr geräumiges) Zimmer war im 42. Stock mit herrlicher Aussicht. Alles sehr gepflegt und ansprechend eingerichtet. Das absolute Highlight im MBS ist natürlich der Pool. Alleine der ist es schon wert in diesem Hotel zu übernachten. Am Abend waren wir noch in der Rooftop Bar. Auch von dort hat man eine fantastische Aussicht auf Singapur. Angenehm ist die dem Hotel angeschlossene Shopping Mall und die U Bahn Station. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen.

If you are ever traveling to Singapore and you love spending most of the time in your hotel or at the pool this is the place to come and enjoy your time. You will love it here. The view from the rooftop pool is amazing, we spent most of our time just swimming around and just enjoying the view from the day till the night view. The city lights were just breathless.
The room was soo beautiful and service was what you expect at a five star resort. Everything was just nice and I wouldn’t mind coming back anytime again!
Just a tip to get to the rooftop pool you need to have an access card from your hotel room for each person. So you have to tell them how many people will be in a room and book accordingly!
The lobby area is very modern and if you want to go shopping the subway train is just a few minutes away and across the street is a really nice shopping mall, sorry I forgot what the name was though.

Il FAUT passer par ici lorsque l’on va à Singapour.
A faire de jour ET de nuit (un spectable son et lumière tous les soirs).
