Top Istana Hotel Reviews

JEN Singapore Tanglin by Shangri-La

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean hotel and good location."

Swissotel The Stamford, Singapore

10/10 Excellent

"Second stay at Swissôtel The Stamford, and just as enjoyable as the first! The room was comfortable, the staff friendly and welcoming, and the location super convenient. Parking was easy and hassle-free too. Always a pleasant stay — definitely coming back again!"

ibis Singapore On Bencoolen

8/10 Good

"Location is great. Room is clean and the hotel is well maintained except for the aircon is not strong enough. It was set at 20 degrees and but the air flow is not circulating well. Hotel staff tried to help and I really appreciate but we still felt too hot to sleep."

PARKROYAL COLLECTION Marina Bay, Singapore

10/10 Excellent

"Great bed and pillows. Very clean rooms. Trying to get to the right lift in time has always been a challenge, a minor inconvenience."

Concorde Hotel Singapore

8/10 Good

"Got an upgrade… very nice room and location"

YOTEL Singapore Orchard Road

8/10 Good

"Breakfast is more western but ok"

Carlton Hotel Singapore

10/10 Excellent

"Great central hotel with a much better gym than the photos suggest We had a really good stay here. The location is very central and convenient for exploring Singapore, and our room was clean, spacious and comfortable with a big bed, strong air conditioning and a separate toilet and shower, which was a nice touch. All of the staff we dealt with were friendly and helpful. Check-out was really quick and easy, although check-in did take a little longer than expected. The gym was also a real highlight for us. We’re a UK couple in our 30s who strength train 4x a week, and it had more than enough equipment for two really decent sessions while travelling. There’s a good range of machines, cables and free weights, plus a proper rack, platform and barbell setup — I was able to do RDLs and my husband used the rack for incline bench. The hamstring curl was particularly good with a really smooth resistance profile. There are also body-composition scales, a sauna, pool and outdoor turf area with a high-quality sled for conditioning. A special mention to Mark in the gym, who was fantastic. He spent plenty of time chatting with us, was incredibly friendly and gave us lots of great local recommendations. He really added to the experience. Overall, a comfortable, well-located hotel with friendly staff and excellent facilities. The online photos definitely don’t do the gym justice."

lyf Funan Singapore

8/10 Good

"Very conveniently located. The buffet breakfast was a nice inclusion, but options aren’t extensive. Room was a little tight for two people and two suitcases, but perfectly doable. Would stay again."

Hotel Mi Bencoolen

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is better than expected. The staff are professional and superb with their services. They go above and beyond to help us call the taxis without us asking. They also assisted with the confirmation process. The hotel is clean and the staff is outstanding! Thank you!"
