The Holiday Inn is a lovely, friendly hotel. It's in a great location, it's clean and updated, the lobby was warm and inviting, and all the staff I encountered were courteous and helpful. Check-in and check-out were quick and accommodating. No one ever banged on the door to see if it was ok to clean the room, yet whenever I returned, the room was made up. I'd recommend the hotel to just about any kind of traveller - I can't imagine being upset or disappointed by anything.

The location is in Orchard area. It is very convinience to enjoy Singapore malls along Orchad area, not only for shopping but also to walk in the evening. That's supposed to be the story, but last december, Orchard with the construction of the bridge connecting two building crossing orchard road and festive season tourist crowd was very bad mix to enjoy orchard. That was why then I and my family decided to skip Orchard after just one night stay in Holiday inn.

This time I didn't book hotel in advance. I booked the hotel just when I arrived in Changi. It has been a while I didn't visit Singapore so I didn't decide which part of this city I liked to enjoy. For sure Orchard is always be an Orchard. One night in Orchard area before we decided further. Holiday inn was our choice because its location and I got a good deal for two rooms in hotel reservation in Changi airport.

The check in was fast. Within minutes we were in our rooms already. The room was clean and spacious. That season was very busy for the hotel. Many families with kids stayed in this hotel during that period. The service was good and efficient. As I said its location is in Orchard area so we easily can find restaurants and shopping places.

711 covenience store was just a cross the road behind the hotel where I could get singtel SIM card only for $15 so I could stay connect to internet where ever I went around to any part of the city. The price I paid didn't give me free connection from the hotel and didn't include breakfast either. But in this era it is kind of weird to find hotel like Holiday inn still charging the internet connection because free wifi is almost becoming new standard amenity in most hotels and also restaurants.

Overall this hotel was enjoyable.

We choose the Holiday Inn Orchard City for its convenient location but also as it was one of the few hotels that advertised rooms with two double beds. We were travelling with my adult son and didn't want him sleeping for six nights on a foldout bed (as happened on our last trip to Thailand).

The hotel is right next to Orchard Rd (an absolutely amazing spectacle over Xmas) so if shopping is your thing, get ready to spend. I am certain shopping is the national sport of Singapore. For those less interested in shopping the hotel is only a short walk from the excellent MRT and local buses which will get you to all other parts of the island without issue.

We paid extra for the excutive package which was well worth the money. That gave us access to the executive lounge all day. Breakfast there was a lot more peaceful than in the rather busy restaurant. Tea, coffee, fruit and light snacks were available in the executive lounge all day. From 6pm till 8pm was "happy hour" with complimentary wine, beer etc to go with the selection of hot food on offer as well. The executive package also gave us free wi-fi in our room and executive lounge, laundry for two pieces of clothing per day as well as a late (4pm) check-out.

The room (751) had a pleasant view over the mainroad across to the grounds of the Istana. The room was quiet, well appointed and maintained. Staff were always polite and helpful. They were very approachable and easily identifiable in their green polo shirts.

If I was planning a lot of activities on Sentosa Island I would possibly stay closer to that part of the island but I would not be disappointed to stay at the Holiday Inn again.
