A foreign tourist who visited Singapore, Diana, shared a video of her experience at the Marina Bay Sands Hotel on her TikTok page, @jetsettales, describing it as “NOT worth it”.
She starts off her video with herself jumping around inside the infinity pool, with an artificial voice narrating the video, saying “I stayed at the famous Marina Bay Sands Hotel and here are three reasons why you shouldn’t,” as the video cuts to her frowning and giving a thumbs down to the camera.
First on her list of reasons not to stay at the hotel, was the crowds. She said that it’s “super crowded all the time, particularly the lobby area,” as she showed footage of the busy lobby area packed with many people.
Diana explains that a “luxury hotel experience” usually means guests get to enjoy “peace and quiet”, which she apparently didn’t get to enjoy during her stay there.
Second, on her list was the state and decor of the rooms, which she described as being “really underwhelming and dated,” and although she did accept that the views are nice, she said that you “don’t need to stay at the hotel to enjoy them (the views)”.
Third on her list was the famous infinity pool at the top of the hotel, which she complained as being “ice cold and jam-packed all the time”.
She lamented how there’s “zero chance you’ll be able to enjoy it”.
Netizens’ comments
- You should book the entire hotel and have the pool to yourself
- You should stay at fairmont or Parkroyal at marina bay, u can get good view too and the breakfast is marvellous
- 3 reason for me ,expensive,so expensive,too expensive
- well, it is the most iconic hotel here. so every tourist wants to stay here
- You know they always say in Singapore, if there’s queue, it’s good
- If it’s not overcrowded, you can expect to be charged even higher… on top of the being overpriced.
- of course its crowded, like you said its a luxury hotel which mean is popular, its holiday season so there will be alot of guests coming to stay
- Asian people simply too rich for luxury hotels,you want less people. Try hotel 81 next time.
- Coming to singapore and expect quiet & no people? This is as good as going to alaska and complain about cold & ice .
