Dear Leh S. W., We are very sorry to hear that your recent stay did not meet the standards we strive to provide. It is disappointing to learn that the television in your room was not functional upon your arrival; while we conduct regular equipment checks, we clearly missed the mark in ensuring your room was fully prepared for your stay. We also sincerely regret the lapses in our housekeeping service regarding the replenishment of your shower amenities. Despite your direct requests and the note you left for our team, the lack of follow-through is unacceptable. We have shared your comments with our housekeeping leadership to investigate these communication breakdowns and to reinforce our cleaning protocols, particularly regarding floor maintenance and vacuuming. Thank you for bringing these matters to our attention. Your feedback is essential as we work to improve our internal processes and ensure a more seamless experience for our future guests.

Despite the room being on the compact side, the hotel is conveniently located in the heart of the city, with many popular attractions and travel spots within walking distance. The staff provided great hospitality and were kind enough to accommodate my request to decorate the room for us, as we were staying at the hotel to celebrate our ROM. This thoughtful gesture made our stay even more special. However, the room amenities could benefit from more thorough routine maintenance checks, as the showerhead holder was loose during our stay. Also, we will prefer the lighting controls to be analog switch instead of Smart Control. Overall, we had a pleasant and memorable experience, and we appreciate the staff for making our celebration extra special.

Dear J. C. J., Congratulations on your ROM! We are absolutely delighted that you chose Hotel Waterloo Singapore - Handwritten Collection for such a significant milestone. It was a true pleasure for our team to assist with the room decorations, and we are thrilled to hear that this gesture added a special touch to your celebration. We are also glad that you enjoyed our prime location in the heart of the arts district, which provides such convenient access to the best of Singapore’s attractions. While our rooms are designed with a focus on modern urban efficiency and functional comfort, we appreciate your feedback regarding the room features. We have shared your comments about the showerhead holder with our engineering team to ensure it is addressed during our routine maintenance checks. Regarding the lighting, we have integrated the Aiello smart system to offer a high-tech, contemporary experience, though we certainly understand that preferences for traditional analog controls vary. Your insights are invaluable as we continue to refine the balance between innovation and guest intuition. We are so pleased that you had a memorable stay with us overall. We look forward to the opportunity to welcome you back for many more anniversaries in the future. Warm regards, Janet Guest Experience Executive

Leonie A. T. Couples - Confirmed reviews ALL

Rooms very small, no area to relax - bar/ lounge is in a crowded reception area. No ambiance at all.

Dear Leonie, We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. It is rewarding to know that our proximity to the local train stations provided you with the convenient connectivity we strive to offer all our guests in the heart of the city. We regret that the design and layout of our rooms did not meet your expectations. In high-density urban environments like Singapore, our property utilizes a compact design philosophy focused on efficiency and high-quality essentials. The placement of the vanity basin outside the bathroom is a deliberate architectural choice intended to maximize usable space and convenience within the room. Similarly, our lobby and bar are designed as an integrated social hub to reflect a modern, fluid city atmosphere, though we understand that some guests may prefer a more traditional, secluded lounge setting. Regarding your interactions with our team, we take your comments seriously. While we aim for seamless service, we recognize that there is always room for growth, and we have shared your observations with our department heads for internal review and training. We hope to have the opportunity to better serve you in the future should your travels bring you back to the area. Warm regards, Janet Guest Experience Executive

Ramesh K. E. Couples - Confirmed reviews ALL

The hotel is nice and overall clean. Breakfast buffet was OK, unfortunately many dishes don't get refilled. Futhermore the bathroom in the room had a strong smell of a sewer. Which was not nice and smelled bad. Lastly, the workers at the reception could improve their hospitality, for instance greet the guests etc. Instead of just looking or ignoring. Only at check in and check out there was a friendly interaction. During the stay nobody greeted us when we came or left the hotel. Overall the hotel is good but not yet up to 4 star standards when it comes to hospitality. Improve this and the hotel will go to next level. Guest Experience is key. (Trust me, I've worked in many 5 star hotels en Michelin restaurants in Europe).

Dear Ramesh K. E., We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback following your recent stay. While we are pleased you found the property to be clean and well-maintained, we sincerely regret that our service and certain facilities did not consistently meet the high standards we strive to uphold. It is disappointing to hear that our team did not provide a warm welcome during your daily transitions through the lobby. We completely agree that guest experience is paramount, and we will be using your observations to refine our hospitality standards and ensure a more proactive presence at the front desk. Regarding the issue in your bathroom, we have directed our maintenance team to conduct a thorough inspection to address any drainage odors immediately. Additionally, your notes on the breakfast replenishment have been shared with our restaurant partners’ management team to ensure the buffet remains well-stocked for all guests. We value the perspective of a hospitality professional and hope to welcome you back for a significantly improved experience that better reflects our four-star commitment.

Jennifer H. W. Business - Confirmed reviews ALL

This hotel has small but very comfortable rooms that are well suited to the 1-person stay, but possibly confronting for two (the toilet is less than 3 feet from the bed and only separated by a thin glass wall). The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere, but for the travelling westerner is very disappointing for healthy (clean, unprocessed) protein choices at breakfast (with eggs being pretty much the only option for non-processed protein). The staff are very helpful and I find it excellently located as a base due to its easy proximity to the MRT and enormous choice of places to eat and explore within a short walk.

Dear Jennifer H. W., Thank you for your detailed feedback. We are delighted that you enjoyed our comfortable rooms, convenient location, and helpful team. Our dual-zone bathroom layout separates the toilet and washing areas, designed to make the space more practical for guests sharing the room. We appreciate your feedback on the breakfast selection and will share your comments with our team for consideration. We look forward to welcoming you again.

Geok S. S. (. Y. C. Couples - Confirmed reviews ALL

First of all, i would like to say that me and my husband loved the hotel vibes and very thankful for your reception staffs at the counter. They are very friendly and willing to assist us when we need help. I appreciate that. As this hotel I booked is for my husband birthday, he loved it so much. But I would like to feedback about two of your staff at the antler and amber restaurant during breakfast buffet that I went on 14 September, last Monday around 8+am. First staff (indian guy), as my husband trying to order an omelette from the staff, the staff roll his eyes , showed his black face to my husband and ask my husband what he wants in an rude tone when my husband wanted to ordered the omelette. After my husband told him he wants an omelette, he then made a loud "sigh" like he was not willing to do it. If let's say the hotel do not provide other sorts of egg (apart from sunny side up) why is there so many pans around and there's ingredients for the omelette? This Indian guy staff was only purely cooking sunny side up egg and clearly he was not willing to cook omelette when there's ingredients for cooking omelette. I want to know why would the hotel hired such staff with no professional attitude during work especially when he's working at a hotel that served different people from everywhere around the world? How is this professional? Just because me and my husband is Singaporean, are we supposed to be treated like that? So if an tourist was treated with an working attitude like this Indian guy staff, how bad do you think the tourist will rate the hotel ? I hope the hotel can seriously take a look at all your staffs and see who is suitable to work in this hotel industry, in this service line. Also, on the same day during the breakfast buffet there's also another guy staff (not sure if he's Chinese or Malay) he was asking an guest to help him to do a review while the guest was eating his meal. And he kept disturbing the guest while the guest is eating his meal, the staff kept going back to him claiming that his Chinese not good and doesn't understand what he wrote, and the guest is a china guy which clearly shows he doesn't understand English either. And when he wasn't able to get the review from the china guest, he kept using his phone to make phone call and he is not doing his work. I also saw with my own eyes that this staff went to the buffet area to take a cup of drinks to drink. Does the hotel staffs are allowed to drink the drinks from the buffet area which meant for the guest? I feel this is not acceptable and it's really unprofessional as the drinks at the buffet area was meant for guest and not the staff on duty. I worked in a service line/food and beverage line, I know what a staff can do/cannot do. Do take a look and check the staffs whether who is suitable to work in this industry/service line. Based on my meal there once, that two guys I mentioned was clearly not professional enough to work in this industry/service line. Please, do something about it. Thank you and I appreciated it so much.

Dear Geok S. S. C., Thank you for sharing your experience at Hotel Waterloo Singapore - Handwritten Collection. We are pleased to hear that you found your room cozy and comfortable, and that you appreciated the friendliness of our reception staff. It is wonderful to know that you chose to celebrate your husband's birthday with us. It is with utmost regret to hear of the service shortcomings you encountered at our Antler and Amber restaurant during breakfast. It is essential for our team to maintain a professional demeanor, especially in a hospitality setting, and your feedback is concerning. Your comments will be addressed with our dining management team for review and improvement. Thank you once again for your valuable feedback and we hope to welcome you back for a better experience.

Newly hotel. The services is very good also the food is good enough. The size of room is quite small but the location is very good near MRT station

Dear Robert A., Thank you for your time to leave a review for Hotel Waterloo Singapore - Handwritten Collection. We are pleased to hear that you found our hotel comfortable and enjoyed our hospitality and dining services. As Singapore is pretty small, all buildings (including hotels across our city) are affected by the land constraint, which results in generally more compact configuration of hotel rooms. Nevertheless, our room offerings have been designed to provide a delightful environment for our guests without compromising comfort. We appreciate your feedback regarding room size and are delighted that you appreciated our convenient location near the MRT stations. We look forward to welcoming you again. Warm regards, Janet Guest Experience Executive

Room was well equipped, the hotel is well located. Staff was generally very helpful. Upon check in I noticed some stain on the toilet lid and the floor around the bed could be cleaner. Would be great if used cups and tea bags etc. could be replaced on a daily basis.

Dear Chiu Y. J. L., Thank you for your feedback. We apologize that the room cleanliness and daily replenishment of amenities did not meet our usual standards.

Davide V. M. M. Business - Confirmed reviews ALL

The hotel might look promising, but it really falls short—starting with the lobby, which features designer sofas that are actually uncomfortable, and where the lemon water tastes stale and the fruit juice watery. The rooms are nice enough—albeit a bit small—and fine if you just need a place to sleep, provided you don't mind having the toilet just a few centimeters away from the nightstand. But the worst part of all is the breakfast: dry, stale pastries (with absolutely no variety throughout my entire week-long stay), burnt-tasting yet watery coffee, and orange juice that shares nothing with an actual orange other than the color. The staff are certainly polite, but everything else needs a rethink.

Dear Davide V. M. M., Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback following your stay with us. It is encouraging to know that our convenient location and courteous team members made a positive impression. We are sorry that other aspects of your stay fell short of expectations. The comments regarding the lobby seating, welcome refreshments, and room layout are appreciated and will be taken into consideration as we continue to review the guest experience. Your breakfast experience is also a concern, particularly the comments on the freshness, quality, and variety of the pastries, coffee, and orange juice. These observations have been shared with our third party restaurant partner for further review. While the overall stay did not meet your expectations, we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again and provide a more enjoyable experience. Warm regards, Janet Guest Experience Executive

Katalin K. Friends - Confirmed reviews ALL

We liked the hotel, but the only thing we didn't like was that the room was way too small. We didn't even have the opportunity to unpack our clothes or toiletries. Also, the window did not have a privacy curtain for the daytime, so everyone could see into our room—especially since we stayed on the third level right next to the swimming pool. Otherwise, the hotel is modern, clean, and the staff at the front desk are very nice.

Dear Katalin K., Thank you for sharing your feedback regarding your recent stay at Hotel Waterloo Singapore - Handwritten Collection. We are pleased to hear that you appreciated our modern facilities, cleanliness, and the hospitality of our front desk team. Our rooms are designed to optimize space efficiently within the constraints of an urban environment like Singapore, which sometimes means compact layouts that may feel cozy but are intended to provide all necessary comforts. We regret to learn that the size of your room did not meet your expectations and that you experienced privacy concerns due to the window treatment. We appreciate your feedback which will be used for ongoing review of guest accommodations. We are delighted that you found our location convenient, with easy access to the metro stations. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future for a more satisfactory experience. Warm regards, Janet Guest Experience Executive
