The verdict

Guests appreciate the city skyline views from floor-to-ceiling windows, comfortable beds, and complimentary breakfast. However, the 18-square-meter rooms feel noticeably tight, with beds placed close to opposite walls and cramped bathrooms with variable water pressure. 1872315

Quotes run exactly as travelers wrote them — spelling and all. We trim for length, never for tidiness.
- “Okay. Quite clean. But yes, overall the room is really really clean and nothing to complain about.” On camera195:57
- “I'd stay here again on a good deal- as a friend of mine said, I don't have to impress myself, and a clean modern room with a good bed and shower is fine by me, especially when it comes with a pool for swimming.” 11
- “The hotel has a very cool indoor / outdoor layout.” 5
- “And opposite the sleeping bed, there is a relatively small size TV. It's Samsung though, so I assume that you can use screen mirroring. But the sad thing is that you can't pull it out. So you can't really plug in HDMI inside.” On camera194:30
- “If I could choose only two words to describe our room, they would be 'smart' and 'comfortable'. Although not extremely spacious, the room was equipped with all the amenities for a great stay.” 23
- “Sky Terrace at the hotel gives a mesmerizing view” 4
- “We stayed in a Standard Queen MBS View room, which did indeed boast a floor-to-ceiling window with a brilliant view of Marina Bay Sands, as well as the nearby cityscape!” 7
- “There are 442 stylish and modern rooms at Holiday Inn Express Singapore Clarke Quay, all with floor-to-ceiling windows, many of which boast awesome views of the city (providing that you book an MBS View room and not a Courtyard View room).” 7
- “The ceilings are actually very high. So, the high ceilings actually give it a sense of space even though it's a very small room.” On camera211:06
- “I was on the fifth floor for my stay. However, I ended up getting an interior - facing room. I'd definitely push to get an exterior facing room if you can, otherwise your view will be...of other rooms.” 5
- “While the room had basic amenities that may suffice for a budget traveler, the rooms are small according to Singapore's general hotel standards.” 1
- “Oh yeah, and the piece resistance of the entire room is the view. And yes, the view itself is really, really nice. You have the picture view of the CBD area, a little bit of the river view, and you can actually have a small glimpse of MBS itself.” On camera195:08
- “Guests can enjoy beautiful views of the city at the Sky Terrace at the hotel.” 4
- “okay so here's the room it's very small typical of Singapore we've got the luggage case my mess that I've created but then you have the bed very comfortable bed actually soft pillows” On camera245:46
- “Although not extremely spacious, the room was equipped with all the amenities for a great stay. We had an iron, electric kettle, minibar, complimentary water, TV, air conditioning, work desk, mini-fridge, and great Wi-Fi.” 23
- “The Sky Terrace at the hotel gives guests the chance to enjoy some beautiful views of the city.” 4
- “And for the room size, it's about 18 square m. It's relatively small, but as you can see from the room tour itself, they have utilized the space really, really well.” On camera196:56
- “The bathroom and the sliding window did not come with locks meaning that anyone in the room is able to open it at any time.” 1
- “The room is decently sized by Singapore standards, which isn't saying much.” 5
- “The air-conditioning unit in my room went to a minimum of 24.5 degrees despite me trying to lower the temperature down even further.” 1
- “The Queen room was slightly small but what you would expect from a HIX. It is comfortable, simple and has everything you need.” 3
- “The high ceilings (12 foot) really help with the room space as well.” 11
- “Then again, it is still pricing nicely - roughly equivalent to its sister hotel in Orchard Road and other hotels of similar class with fewer facilities.” 17
- “On another note, I've stayed in the HIE Clarke Quay and was pretty disappointed, especially since it was more expensive than the Katong hotels, while the location was not walkable, the rooms were worse, and the free breakfast was worse.” 16
- “The Holiday Inn Express Singapore Clarke Quay is a modern, reasonably priced upper-middle-range hotel on the edge of Chinatown that offers an excellent value.” 18
- “The HIE is the best in terms of value for money, and the free breakfast is one of the best I've had.” 16
- “Holiday Inn Express Singapore Clarke Quay is the perfect choice if you are looking for a good value for money hotel, close to the main attractions of the city and with excellent service.” 23
- “The high ceilings (12 foot) really help with the room space as well. That being said, if it was at the $179+tax rack rate, would likely try one of the Chinatown boutique hotels instead for a better price...” 11
- “Frankly, for the affordable room rate here and its centralised location, you are getting huge value at the hotel.” 10
- “I definitely recommend one of the 2 in Katong (Indigo or HI Express). I've stayed in many hotels in Singapore and those 2 are my absolute favorite. The HIE is the best in terms of value for money, and the free breakfast is one of the best I've had.” 16
- “While the current opening promotion does provide for 2,000 bonus points for Reward Club members, the average room rate for this hotel may be on the high side for what it has to offer.” 1
- “I had 2 connecting rooms for 2 weeks and whilst not prefect it was a good value stay.” 11
- “As far as Holiday Inn Expresses go, this one is quite expensive, but it's Singapore and it's quite a nice property for what it is.” 5
- “Upon arrival, you will realise that the hotel looks way better than the price of the room, a new modern building packing more than 400 rooms into a small premise which is just 7-storeys high, you can imagine the size of each room - which ain't big, but more than enough frankly!” 10
- “And what we're going to order to test the in room dining speed is we're going to order fried rice with grilled chicken, $18. And we're going to order butter chicken biryani at $18 as well. So total of $36 plus French fries, $6, $42. Very, very expensive.” 19
- “I used to live in SG for a decade and chose this location since it's very central and walkable, plus at the end of every night of adventuring, we can stroll right over to the Clarke Quay night life for a night cap that's stumbling distance from the hotel.” 14
- “I forgot to add, the location around clarke quay's holiday inn is cleaner and nearer to the sight seeing areas.” 8
- “Village Hotel Bugis: Offers relatively large rooms for Singapore standards and is conveniently located near Bugis MRT, malls, and food options, though some find it dated.” 14
- “The Indigo has amazing rooms. They're both connected in the same great, walkable location!” 16
- “I found Little India really convenient for a solo stay (read: smallish rooms). Good metro access, walkable to sites and food in Little India, there's a coin laundry on-property that I was thankful for.” 16
- “With the hotel located near Robertson Walk, I would highly recommend exploring the area and have something decent at one of the restaurants nearby.” 1
- “Located just a few minutes' walk from the vibrant and bustling area of Clarke Quay, Holiday Inn Express Singapore Clarke Quay is one of my go-to hotels in Singapore thanks to its awesome location, super comfy beds, impressive rooftop pool, and incredible views of Clarke Quay and Marina Bay Sands!” 7
- “The breakfast was good. It's pretty close to all major attractions. Two different MRT lines in the walking distance.” 8
- “Location is excellent, just 5 mins walk to clarke quay and a further 5 mins to the MRT.” 11
- “The location is great for hopping over to Smith Street/Chinatown Food Center and Maxwell, as well as for wandering around Chinatown or hitting the riverfront places.” 11
- “although it's a three-star family oriented hotel with a less than ideal location it does have its perks it's proximity to Central Mall three different mrts and the vibrant nightlife of Clarke adds to its appeal” On camera20:04
- “The 442 rooms at the Holiday Inn Express Singapore Clarke Quay have floor-to-ceiling windows with city views, but they can be small, with the edge of the beds close to their opposite walls.” 18
- “overall the location you have to walk quite a long ways to get to Clark key so even though you think you're in Clark key you're actually still quite a walk away you might even consider taking a grab or a taxi to get to Clark key so that was something that threw me off as well” On camera247:43
- “Both locations are decent accessible locations but I rate Little India slightly better than Clarke Quay as it is (almost) right on top of an MRT and close to an main thoroughfare but Clarke Quay is a 5-8 walk to the nearest MRT.” 8
- “So, if yall have watched our previous hotel review, which is Hotel Mono, the hotel itself is everything about the location. However, for this hotel, right, the hotel is everything but the location.” On camera1914:40
- “So overall, the location of this hotel I would say isn't the best because the best way to get here is basically taxi unless you know to walk here from the MR or take bus, which if you are dragging luggage, I assume you won't want to.” 19
- “Holiday Inn Express Singapore Clarke Quay proved to be the best choice since I could get pretty much anywhere around the city by bus or subway. Also, I loved that the hotel was within walking distance of Chinatown and the Old Hill Police Station (one of the most colorful buildings in Singapore).” 23
- “Ibis Budget: Ibis Budget Singapore Ruby in Geylang is noted for being clean and close to public transport, despite its location in a red-light district.” 14
- “On another note, I've stayed in the HIE Clarke Quay and was pretty disappointed, especially since it was more expensive than the Katong hotels, while the location was not walkable, the rooms were worse, and the free breakfast was worse.” 16
- “It was great to return to this property, located conveniently along the Clarke Quay riverside, its just a short walk to many entertainment and dining options.” 3
- “Holiday Inn Express Singapore Clarke Quay is located around a block or two from the Singapore River, a stone's throw away from the clubs and dining options at Clarke Quay. This makes the hotel a great location for those planning a late night out on the town.” 17
- “Clarke Quay has a small room but its new. HI Atrium and HIE Orchard Road might be the best location.” 16
- “Good metro access, walkable to sites and food in Little India, there's a coin laundry on-property that I was thankful for.” 16
- “I was only staying here for two nights, and wanted a central hotel where I could explore the city from. This hotel was perfect for that, although it is a medium walk (10 minutes) from the nearest MRT (subway) stop.” 5
- “The bathroom was tiny and despite having a rain shower fixture, the water pressure was weak.” 1
- “The filtered drinking water tap in the bathroom is also an excellent feature, and it's just one way in which Holiday Inn Express are working towards reducing the use of single-use plastic!” 7
- “And then, the bathroom is suitably tiny, but there is a basin, a shower, and of course, a toilet.” On camera211:39
- “Bathrooms are attractively laid out in cream tile and include bidets and tub/shower combos with glass doors and both rainfall and power showerheads.” 18
- “The biggest downside is that the bathroom and shower are pretty cramped:” 5
- “The bathrooms at Holiday Inn Express Singapore Clarke Quay are equipped with a walk-in rain shower, as well as an adjustable shower head, plus our bathroom had complimentary Dove shampoo, body wash, and hand soap, which is always a welcome relief when we're travelling full-time as it means we don't have to carry around huge toiletries with us.” 7
- “The bathroom has a modern yet simple design. It is equipped with a hairdryer, towels, and toiletries.” 23
- “And then they had a nice big shower. And the shower was amazing. Absolutely loved it.” On camera134:42
- “Water pressure could be better.” 11
- “One great thing about this room is the heavenly rainfall shower in its bathroom.” 3
- “The only drawback was the lack of a dedicated bath amenity but what they offered is in accordance to brand standards so I brought my own L'Occitane bath products from Intercontinental Hua Hin.” 3
- “I did the HIE Novena recently. Great breakfast, super great staff, and had suites that could be upgraded into.” 16
- “Stayed in Clarke Quay for the new years, breakfast wasn't that great, rooms are small. But we enjoyed our stay.” 16
- “the breakfast offers a satisfying buffet style with a decent variety of options to choose from” On camera20:26
- “All right. Let's take a look at the breakfast. Got some toast. Oh my partial pretty good chicken fruit cereal.” On camera223:04
- “Oftentimes, I've found that if a hotel offers free breakfast as standard, the options are pretty limited and not very good, but the buffet breakfast at Holiday Inn Express Singapore Clarke Quay was absolutely fantastic and there was so much to choose from!” 7
- “Breakfast attracts solid praise, ranging from satisfactory for the overall value to excellent.” 15
- “The free flow drinks machines here also gives you some decent coffee options, which on the whole, provides for a rather satisfactory meal to start your day.” 10
- “The hotel also has free breakfast too, which is a plus.” 14
- “The hotel offers a tempting breakfast everyday.” 4
- “Hotel 81: A popular budget chain, with Hotel 81 Chinatown highly recommended for its convenience to MRT, buses, malls, and restaurants.” 14
- “And then the breakfast buffet. It is amazing. It's free to everyone that stays here. And it's so good. It I think it may have been one of the best ones I've ever had.” On camera135:33
- “The breakfast buffet was adequate considering the rate for this property.” 11
- “In terms of food options, the Holiday Inn Express Singapore Clarke Quay Hotel breakfast has a wide range of options: pastry, fruits, cereals, and international food.” 23
- “The breakfast spread is in line with brand standards and yes will definitely recommend to my friends/business partner.” 11
- “And last but not least, every Holiday Inn comes with complimentary breakfast. I was shocked at how busy this was in the morning.” 5
- “So, I've just had breakfast down on the ground floor. There's a simple buffet available. Some hot food, eggs and sausages, some local food, noodles, etc., some porridge, some fairly ordinary pastries. I tried a few of the pastries, they were okay.” On camera212:36
- “Only drawback here is that the hotel provides for a breakfast-only restaurant here, Great Room.” 10
- “another thing I didn't really care about was the fact that they don't really have a kitchen so in the breakfast time you can go down there and get some sort of hot meals they also have a cafe and a bar but you can't really order like a cheeseburger at say 7 pm you can order grab of course but nothing on premise there's no room service that I saw” On camera246:38
- “Some some sandwiches, and and service self coffee machines which served a an acceptable brew of coffee.” On camera212:53
- “The rotation of dishes at breakfast needs to be improved.” 11
- “However, if there's something the hotel can work on, it would most definitely be working on it's food options - perhaps a discount for all its guests at Baker & Cook or more ready meals vending machines?” 10
- “Buffet breakfast is really decent for a three-star hotel in comparison to a couple of past hotels that we have done.” On camera1914:34
- “To enhance the stay of the guests, the hotel features an exquisite restaurant offering delicious culinary delights.” 4

- “as for the bit it's incredibly comfortable and they even offer a variety of pillow options for your selection” On camera20:20
- “The bed was super comfortable, though.” 5
- “One thing that drew my attention was the ready to use Handy Smartphone offering unlimited local and international calls and mobile internet - it was a great add on to our stay. Also, the bed was super-comfy and I loved that we had both soft and firm pillows.” 23
- “The queen-sized bed was super comfortable, and I love how Holiday Inn Express Singapore Clarke Quay offer both a firm and soft pillow on each side of the bed, so you can choose which pillow best suits your sleep style!” 7
- “Decor is crisp, with striped wall-to-wall carpeting, blackout drapes, and platform beds in white linen with a choice of hard or soft pillows, and orange throws.” 18
- “Moreover, for your relaxation, the hotel also maintains a swimming pool, fitness centre, and a bar as well. Also, the staff services will make your stay completely worthwhile.” 4
- “nice big TV, of course. So, we got to watch the news and how much everybody hates America.” On camera132:09
- “purpleplushyfridge • 6个月前 We stayed in Holiday Inn Clarke Quay in 2024. We stayed in Holiday Inn Clarke Quay in 2024. We enjoyed it. The staff was nice and accommodating. The breakfast was good.” 8
- “You can actually get IHG points as a "reward" if you put on do not disturb and elect out of housekeeping. I received 500 points at the time for doing this (I made sure to put my IHG number in my Capital One booking). I would love if more hotels did this, given I actually prefer not to have daily housekeeping.” 5
- “I was promptly attended to during check-in and given keys to my room.” 17
- “Travellers repeatedly appreciate the efficient arrival and departure process, helpful reception staff and comfortable beds.” 15
- “Hairdryers and toiletries, are provided, and guests praise the quality of the towels.” 18
- “Holiday Inn Little India was filthy, I had to check out the next day.” 8
- “Check-in staff also seemed rather fresh at their job and slightly flustered for some reason.” 1
- “I've stayed at both hotels. Holiday Inn Little India was filthy, I had to check out the next day.” 8
- “Travelers can order drinks as per their taste buds and the hospitable staff will be happy to serve them.” 4
- “purpleplushyfridge • 6个月前 We stayed in Holiday Inn Clarke Quay in 2024. We stayed in Holiday Inn Clarke Quay in 2024. We enjoyed it. The staff was nice and accommodating.” 8
- “The staff at the hotel is extremely cordial and can converse in many languages such as E” 4
- “So, talking a little bit about the check in experience, overall I would say it's really, really fast. It only took 5 minutes including the payment itself because we paid at the counter.” On camera190:49
- “Check-In was efficient and I was attended to with registration processes completed within 10 minutes.” 3
- “Unfortunately, I did not receive a response from the management or the team regarding the weak water pressure (amongst other matters).” 11
- “The pillows here are also labeled as "soft" or "firm." Again, it certainly is a nice touch to find this consistency here.” 17

- “The staff was perfectly competent and friendly.” 11
- “I was impressed to see how the staff managed to provide variety by changing the dishes served on a daily basi. On my first day, I had scrambled eggs, noodles and sausages. This made way for omelet, fried rice and a different kind of sausage during my second day.” 17
- “However, the poor communication with the team prior to arrival and the lack of recognition for Platinum status members kills it for me. Not checking your mailbox is bad enough as it is but reading and then ignoring a guest's message is a huge failure in my opinion.” 1
- “No complaints from me here. This being said, Holiday Inn Express Singapore Clarke Quay offered a wide array of amenities, from cotton buds to razors, and additional ones were provided upon request from the reception.” 17
- “The hotel is nice, new and clean.” 11

- “I did the HIE Novena recently. Great breakfast, super great staff, and had suites that could be upgraded into.” 16
