This is a fine hotel in a great location on Orchard Road, everything you need is within walking distance. The hotel is definitely upmarket and rooms are immaculate. The buffet breakfast is up there with the best we have experienced so if you can opt for a B&B rate I would highly recommend doing so.

Exec Loung is a nice perk, but if you don't have access then there are a number of eateries nearby to suit all budgets. The Metro station is a short walk also so commuting to or from Changi Airport is no great inconvenience.

We had a very comfortable stay in this Hilton and have no hesitation in giving it two thumbs up whether your purpose in Singapore is for Business or Pleasure (I'd imagine this hotel sees a lot of one night stopovers on the kangaroo route).

From the airport you can take a one way shuttle direct to the hotel for S$9pp - very good value if you can locate the desk in the arrivals hall!

Checked in and check out was quick and easy. Was given room upgrade and the room and its amenities were fantastic! the rooftop pool was nice but it was not heated and the water was a bit cold in the morning. Executive lounge had a good selection of food and drinks. The breakfast in the restaurant on the lobby was ok with a mix of international offerings. Thank you to Ms. Juliati at the front desk and every one else who made our stay comfortable :-)

Hilton Singapore is located on a very busy section of Orchard road, and a 10 minute walk from the St Regis (a hotel that I really like) as well as the Hyatt (Scotts road) and Marriott (Orchard Road) the Orchard Road MTR (subway) station.

Getting here: A taxi from Changi Singapore airport is only about SIN $25 (~USD 20) unless you arrive late and there is a 50% surcharge after midnight. It is only about a 20 minute ride in. The MTR (subway) is a lot less expensive and will drop you off at Orchard Road station which is a 5 – 10 minute walk to the hotel, but will take longer than a taxi.

This hotel has fairly large rooms and updated furnishings and carpet in the rooms. The bed is very comfortable and after a bit of jet lag it feels great. The bathrooms are small, probably due to the age of the building.

The hotel is on a busy section of Orchard road and there are lots of restaurants and shops within easy walking distance. It is a good alternative to the St Regis hotel which I think is a nicer and more posh hotel, but given the price gap between the Hilton and St Regis it was impossible to justify the St Regis on this trip. If the prices are the same, or close, I would take the St Regis every time.

The executive lounge is located on the 22nd floor, and breakfast is more limited than the full breakfast down on lobby level. The lounge has very good hours from 06:30 to 23:00 daily.

The one complaint that I have is the last two visits I have had rooms that face Orchard Road and there is a deadly combination of jet lag and street noise. I was on the 18th floor this time, and even on the 22nd floor executive lounge, you can hear the street noise. It isn’t horrible, but I have to wonder if better windows would help. As an alternative, ask for a room that doesn’t face Orchard road, especially if you are a light sleeper.

Nicer than your “typical” non-Asian Hilton hotel, the staff delivers solid and respectable service levels.

Standard Hilton experience with above average service. Some carpets starting to look tired. Great Orchard Road location. Can't go wrong here.
