Top Istana Hotel Reviews

YOTEL Singapore Orchard Road

10/10 Excellent

"The location"

JEN Singapore Orchardgateway by Shangri-La

10/10 Excellent

"The location is very convenient, with plenty of shops and restaurants nearby, and the MRT station is just downstairs. The property is clean and well-maintained, and the staff are helpful and friendly whenever you need assistance. If I were to nitpick, the check-in experience could have been a little warmer. The staff were okay, but there was no smile or greeting, nor were we asked if we needed any assistance. This felt quite different from our previous stay at a different Shangri-La hotel, where we were welcomed by smiling, friendly staff who went out of their way to ask how they could make our stay more comfortable. Overall, it was a pleasant stay. Would still come back and stay here."

Swissotel The Stamford, Singapore

10/10 Excellent

"Back again after just two weeks! I chose the same hotel and was lucky enough to get the exact same room on the 60th floor, which includes access to the lounge up on the 65th. The room and the views are absolutely stunning. I originally picked it for the balcony and the incredible floor-to-ceiling, wall-to-wall windows. They also have a unique lighting system I haven’t seen in other hotels, which lets you set soft, relaxing lights throughout the room, toilet, and shower. I really appreciate that they offer filtered drinking water and put a strong focus on the environment. On top of that, the bed and pillows are truly among the best I have ever experienced anywhere. Check-in was fast and seamless. The lounge access is worth every penny—the complimentary drinks during cocktail hours, the high-quality food options, and the exceptional breakfast are outstanding. Plus, the lounge offers a spectacular view of Singapore both day and night. I will definitely be returning to this hotel very soon."

Citadines Rochor Singapore

10/10 Excellent

"Our 4th floor room was great. The floor came with a hot/cold water station. Room had fridge and microwave as well as a kitchenette which was fully stocked. Bed was comfortable and plenty of space. Staff were great especially Jay, Elaine, and Stacy. Great location! Steps away from Little India and bus/train ststions."
