We stayed in a Deluxe Room the Mandarin Oriental Conservatorium for 5 nights, and we were disappointed. They put us on a floor that was undergoing renovations (our hallway was covered in painting tape and had unfinished light fixtures), and our room had non-functional ventilation and sparse seemingly unfinished decoration. Our room also had no view (despite advertising a city view) and the bathroom was smaller than advertised. We raised all of this after one night, and mid-way through our stay they upgraded us to a better room on a completed floor with little argument (which was appreciated, but it seemed to acknowledge that the original room was not acceptable).
Some of the service was poor, we ordered in-room dining one night and after our food was delivered, the staff accidentally tried to deliver us the same bottle of champage that we didn't order, twice. We called down to ensure that the champagne we didn't order wouldn't be on our bill -- but sure enough there were unexplained "minibar" charges on our bill from the same night. Again we raised this and these charges, as well as the original in-room dining charge, were wiped from the bill as a make-good.
The staff did their best to fix things up, but we were disappointed that this is the experience we had with a well-known luxury brand hotel like the Mandarin Oriental. We would not stay here again, and we will think twice about paying a premium for the Mandarin Oriental name going forward.
