I had the pleasure of staying a night at Paradox Singapore Merchant Court at Clarke Quay. I have stayed at the property before while it was still Swissotel Merchant Court under Accor and this was my first night at the property as Paradox Hotels. The staff were very friendly, greeting guests along the corridor at time during our stay, operator was quick to respond with my requests as well. Breakfast was great too, along with friendly staff! The room was comfortable and the high ceiling was great, giving the room a spacious feeling. Could you please convey my personal thanks to Miss Sejmah (Front Desk), who assisted me with my check-in. Not only was she friendly, she was patient and took the time to understand my needs even though I was only staying one night for a local event. She is truly a gem, an asset to Paradox Singapore Merchant Court. I look forward to returning to Paradox Merchant Court soon!…

My husband and I decided to have our wedding banquet here through Tele call (due to covid-19 period) and we never regret our decision. Centrally located meant that our guests had no issues getting to the venue and many were impressed by the lunch banquet. Thank you culinary team! Stephanie, who we liaised with us for our wedding, was very helpful and addressed many of our concerns promptly. We are personally grateful for her help throughout our event. Grace, who helped us through our banquet, was very attentive and extremely helpful in her services. Thank you for making our wedding do memorable.

Everything else was fine, but last day I had to leave in a rush to get to a meeting. Walked in and requested takeaway fruits for breakfast. Answer : we don't allow takeaway from the buffet. And absolute rigidity. I don't know what a banana costs but you just lost a customer who checked out spending 1000 $ forever. I will try really hard never to check in to this place that doesn't get the basic tenets of hospitality.

Dear Mr Ravishankar, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We are truly sorry to hear that your experience during breakfast was less than satisfactory. Due to food safety reasons, we do not allow takeaways of hot food from the buffet as such food must be temperature-regulated to ensure that it is safe for consumption. This is our policy to ensure that our guests do not experience food poisoning, should they consume the food past the recommended timing. Other food items such as bread, fruits and coffee are available for takeaway. We believe our team member had offered you some bread, fruits and coffee to have them on the go. Our Quality & Hotel Operations Compliance Manager, Elenita Alfaro, has sent you a separate email to express our most sincere apologies. Once again, we apologise for all the inconvenience caused and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for an improved experience in the near future. Warm regards, Rainer Tenius - General Manager

I was at the hotel for 6 nights and on the 5th night had to extend. But was told the hotel was full and I had to move elsewhere. The concierge were really helpful trying to find me hotels close by and Yusuf having listened to us made a last attempt to get the extension. He managed to get the additional day for my colleague and I for which we are very grateful. The staff all round were very helpful and friendly including the hotel reception. I did make a comment to the lady at the breakfast room entrance that their breakfast was the same and needed a change. They had listened and did a small variation on the menu. Great customer service and would recommend the hotel. Rooms are also larger than most that I have been to in Singapore. Convenient access to the MRT. Keep up the good job 👌!…

So, myself and my partner stayed for 1 night at here (Used to be Swissotel Merchant Court Clarke Quay). We were allocated to the room that I booked. Unfortunately one of the room keys didn't work at all. So only the other room key worked. 2nd of all, the room airconditioning was very poor, despite putting to lowest temperature with highest fan speed. We called atleast few times to the operator. Operatore picked up after quite number of rings but did answer well to our queries. Maintenance staff came and did some repair work to aircon. But staff came and told us to change the rooms. They said they will feedback to the front desk and left. We waited for the front desk to call us but didnt unfortunately. So we went down to the front desk and explained the situation in the room. Front desk Kate informed that there was some misunderstanding but helped us immediately to upgrade us to a bigger room which was much much better. Thank you very much Kate. After we relaxed abit in our upgraded room, we were given a call that we can check out late till 6pm. But we said 3pm is good enough. Very nice of the front desk staffs. We went to evening canapes. They were very good but unfortunately there were no cocktails. Only the basic like wines, beers and spirits. Maybe if they can include some cocktails selection in the evening canapes will be good. Next day breakfast was decent and good. But hopefully there can be more variety. Check out was swift. I wish i can give 3.5 stars/5. But due to miscommunication or lack of communication within the staffs, I gave 3/5 stars.…

Decided to book 4 star hotel near Singapore River. I chose Accor. Swissotel Merchant court , as I decided to experience Swiss style club lounge. However one month later,hotel sent email informing me abt the change in hotel mgt : from Accor to Paradox. Fast foward to May . Before checking in , hotel emailed me asking for credit card details. I replied accordingly Day of check in I entered the lobby at 2.10 pm, the lobby area is nice and there are not much guests at that time. After being attended by male recept, he said breakfast will be at in-house restaurant and evening cocktail will be served at lobby bar I was slightly disappointed that the food and drinks won’t be served at club lounge Then i noticed that club lounge at level 11 was closed I entered the room , impressed by the room The space is large enough to do HIIT I look outside the window It is not what I wanted I had booked the room with river view in March! I went to lobby bar and had coffee , no light snack provided . You need to pay for hot snack Went for swimming and gym 2 hr later I was impressed with swimming pool except the fact that blue potato bar was closed After swimming , then go to toilet and dry myself Then go to gym where I used threadmill As I explored further, I went 2 storey of gym area , found elliptical cross trainer with river view. Thus I work out while looking at river and boats Till then , went back to room and bath and went for evening cocktail at lobby bar Had snack and cocktail (chargeable) Went back to room and surf on laptop, then sleep Morming, headed to gym for workout before going for breakfast 2 hr later Buffet breakfast is very good Spend few hrs surfing nets before checking out Will visit this hotel again after the mgt sort everything out- renovations of club lounge, re-opening of pool bar…

What a great hotel this is. Fantastic staff, from the concierges, check in staff, bar staff, and especially the booking staff, where Ms. Martirez was absolutely faultless. She even organised a special for my 12 year d grand daughter during our stay. This hotel is modern, has spacious rooms, huge pool which also has a spa, and is a one minute walk to Clarke Quay, and a short walk to hawker centres and Chinatown. Whenever in Singapore, you should consider staying at the Paradox at Merchant Court. It’s a great hotel, with a personal touch.

This was our fourth stay at the Swissotel ( Paradox ) and our first time out of Australia since 2019 so we were very much looking forward to our week there ! We booked it back in 2021 when it was a Swissotel as the Accor loyalty program gives many benefits. It was disappointing to get the notification a few weeks before leaving that the hotel had changed hands and none of the loyalty benefits would be available as this was a big reason for booking. I hope the Paradox group come up with a loyalty program soon to benefit regular visitors. Understandably, the hotel was much quieter than usual. The service from all the staff was still great - especially the front desk and concierge. The buffet breakfast wasn't fully up and running but the staff did a great job with the "al a carte buffet " style option. COVID has obviously had an impact but for the price you pay I think the hotel could address a few issues. Firstly, on the new Paradox Singapore website that was launched only a week before we arrived it says the pool bar and restaurant is open - but it wasn't. I completely get that there may be reasons for it to be closed but don't say its open on the website when it isn't. Second, we had to call housekeeping on 3 occasions to service our room as it had not been done by late afternoon when we returned to the hotel. Finally, the rooms could do with a bit of refresh. We have been staying there since 2015 and I'm not sure there has been much done to the rooms in that time Overall it's still a great hotel in a great location. The new operators need to make sure it lives up to the reputation that Swissotel built to get loyal visitors to return.…
