The Fullerton Hotel

We had our weekend staycation at the famous The Fullerton Hotel on 26 July 2014. Standard of the service from the Front Desk was lukewarm, just serving us like their job and that's that. They will also lead you to the lift and assume that you will know that you have to insert your room card in order to use the lift. The stay itself was fine. Room itself was impeccable, completed with bathtub (cheers to that) and a rather old TV. Amenities were old and only basic maintenance was seen to. 







When you go into the sauna (located in the restroom for the gym and spa) you can see where the wood has not been maintained and when you go into the steam room you can see where the steam room is also not maintained and also, it smells like raw fishballs.

The most disappointing thing is their staff at the Spa are apathetic, not friendly, no initiative and simply does not show they possess any inkling of what customer service is. We were simply appalled that customer service was as such. We have had stayed in many hotels in Singapore from prestigious hotels to boutique hotels and even boutique hotels have staffs with better attitude than Fullerton.


The only service we received which is befitting of a five star heritage hotel such as the Fullerton, is the staff at the pool whom we really commend for his outstanding service (stand alone. not outstanding because of relative comparison with every other staff). The "infinity" pool is disappointing too, especially when we had went to Marina Bay Sands before (that's a post for another day) and seen the real deal. Pool lounge chairs are limited, even if you are prepared to be basked in the sun.

At the end of the day, a stay at the Fullerton boils down to simply being able to say "I've stayed at the Fullerton before" and take nice pictures of the structure. Nothing else stands out or makes the stay special in a good way. It is specially appalling. If their aim is to encourage disappointed guests, they've hit the bulls eye.
