Top Istana Hotel Reviews

Swissotel The Stamford, Singapore

10/10 Excellent

"This is a spectacular hotel. One notable thing was their care for infants. They provided a rollaway crib, blankets, shampoos/hygiene kit, as well as a bottle sterilizer (I am assuming when available.) The room fantastic and we would stay here again."

Carlton Hotel Singapore

10/10 Excellent

"The Carlton is well situated - across the road from both the MRT and Raffles hotel. There is also a mall across the road for other amenities. The room was spacious and well maintained. Breakfast offered a lot of variety. We enjoyed our stay and would stay again."

Hotel Mi Bencoolen

10/10 Excellent

"Good location right by MRT station, room was on the small side but clean and comfortable, staff are very attentive and helpful, pool was appreciated. Wouldnt pay for the breakfast again, it is in a restaurant next door and offers very few options and terrible coffee with bad music."

Hilton Singapore Orchard

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were very friendly and helpful. I arrived early to the hotel and requested early check-in and a room facing the Marina Bay Sands. Both requests were met and I was able to unpack quickly then take advantage of touring the local shops and attractions on Orchard Road. The hotel is very well situated for transportation, many amazing restaurants and lots of shopping options. I always stay here for business and find this to be one of the best hotels in Singapore for price, quality of service and comfort."
