Holiday Inn Express Singapore Serangoon, an IHG Hotel

Holiday Inn Express Singapore Serangoon, an IHG Hotel Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Holiday Inn Express Singapore Serangoon, an IHG Hotel, you immediately get that feeling of “okay, this is going to work out just fine.” The lobby has that crisp, modern Holiday Inn Express vibe — nothing too fancy, but everything feels fresh and well-maintained. What struck me right away was how the staff seemed genuinely happy to help, not just going through the motions. You know what I mean? There’s something reassuring about checking into a place where people actually seem to care about your stay.

Location & Getting Around

Here’s the thing about staying in Singapore — location really matters, and this four-star hotel nails it. The Lavender area might not be as flashy as Marina Bay, but honestly, that’s part of its charm. You’re close enough to everything that matters without dealing with the tourist crowds right outside your door. I mean, you can walk to Little India in about ten minutes, and the MRT connections are solid. The couples who stay here seem to really appreciate this balance — there’s a reason they rate the location so highly.

The Room Experience

The room itself is exactly what you’d expect from a Holiday Inn Express, but in the best possible way. Clean lines, comfortable bed, and everything actually works — which, let’s be honest, isn’t always a given when you’re traveling. The air conditioning is powerful (crucial in Singapore’s humidity), and there’s enough space to spread out your stuff without feeling cramped. I particularly appreciated the work desk setup — it’s clear they thought about business travelers who might need to catch up on emails or video calls.

Breakfast & Practical Perks

The breakfast situation here is actually pretty impressive for a mid-range hotel. They’ve got the continental basics covered, but the buffet spread goes beyond just toast and cereal — there are local touches mixed in with international options. The breakfast-to-go option is brilliant if you’re planning an early start to your sightseeing. And here’s something you don’t always find in Singapore — they have private parking right at the hotel. If you’re renting a car or taking taxis frequently, this is actually a bigger deal than you might think.

Why Guests Love It

What really sets this place apart is how it gets the fundamentals right without any unnecessary fuss. Recent guests consistently praise the location, and I can see why — you’re positioned perfectly to explore different neighborhoods without being stuck in any single tourist bubble. The staff genuinely seems to understand that travelers want reliability and comfort, not bells and whistles they’ll never use. It’s the kind of place where you can focus on enjoying Singapore instead of worrying about your accommodation. For couples especially, there’s something to be said for a hotel that just works smoothly in the background of your trip.

Singapore’s apartments welcome families with playground terraces, concierge grocery delivery, and quick MRT rides.
