We stayed six nights at the Intercontinental from March 14 to March 20, 2008. It was our first trip to Singapore on a package deal to Singapore and Hong Kong.
The hotel is lovely - truly a first class experience. The staff was bright, experienced and helpful. Our room was large and comfortable with luxurious towels, linen and dressing gowns. The breakfast buffet was a delight with a choice of freshly cooked eggs, sausages and bacon, fresh fruit and juices and much more.
The staff arranged our visit to the zoo - a must see in Singapore - are were very helpful in suggesting things to see and do.
We highly recommend the Intercontinental and it will be our choice on our next trip to Singapore.

My wife and I visited Singapore in February 2008 and we stayed at the InterContinental Hotel, 80 Middle Road.

I booked the hotel for three nights via the IC Hotel’s website back in April 2007, with a room rate of approximately SGD 303.00 per night and including breakfast for up to two adults. Anyone who has travelled frequently will know that breakfast in a five star hotel can cost between £15 and £20 per person, so to have this included in the room charge seemed more than good value. Booking through the hotel’s website meant that I had a confirmed reservation at an excellent price and I didn’t have to pay for the room until I had completed my stay. After our stay I checked my credit card statement whilst continuing our travels and I was more than pleased to find that the total cost for my stay at the InterContinental was £332.24, equating to slightly over £110 per night for a wonderful room and a sumptuous breakfast.

The hotel is ideally located and not too far from Raffles Hotel as well as a subway station. We each purchased a ‘3-Day Singapore Tourist Pass’ that allows three days’ free use on the metro system and is excellent value for money and allows visitors to take advantage of the excellent rail links and low-cost travel around Singapore.

I have visited Singapore twice before and on both occasions have stayed at the Pan Pacific Hotel and the only reason I didn’t choose it this time around was because it was more costly than the InterContinental. However, we decided to visit it whilst we were there to see if it had changed - and unfortunately for my taste it had! The interior and layout had been changed to an ultra-modern style with extremely bright colours, which probably impresses guests staying there for the first time - but it is not to my taste. Therefore I’m extremely pleased I chose the InterContinental and would most certainly recommend it to any first-time traveller to Singapore, I would also recommend it to any traveller returning to Singapore who has been disappointed with their accommodation on previous visits.

I can not praise the hotel personnel highly enough as they are always friendly, professional and courteous in all their actions. At breakfast all of the staff in the restaurant was extremely attentive to the guest’s requirements. You only needed to get up from your table for a short while to get something from the excellent buffet selection, and you would find that any dirty plates and cutlery would be removed and clean cutlery placed on the table, in addition to finding your napkin neatly folded again. One didn’t need to look around for staff when a tea or coffee refill was required as someone was always at hand to offer a refill.

The hotel rooms are well appointed and as I have already indicated the breakfast is a joy to feast on and there is a wide variety of food to cater for Europeans and Asians. I never took advantage of the swimming pool, however, I did walk around all the facilities with my wife and everything looked in pristine condition.

I hope I have another opportunity to visit Singapore and the InterContinental Hotel will by first choice of hotel.

I stayed three nights with three girlfriends in December. We had two connecting Deluxe rooms with two full-sized beds in each room. The rooms were very nice - overlooking the Bugis Junction shopping mall. They were sunny, clean and decorated in a very classy colonial style, with good-sized bathrooms, closet, chest of drawers and desk. The only issue I had was that in order to plug in my curling iron, i had to pull the chest of drawers away from the wall to find a free plug.

The location is wonderful. Just a few minutes walk from Bugis MRT station, and with lots of food and the Bugis Junction Mall nearby. It was never hard to catch taxis from the hotel.

The Lounge was great. We had wonderful lychee martinis while listening to live jazz nightly, and nice coffee with nice cookies the next morning! They had a HUGE christmas tree in the Lounge area as it was Christmas holiday season. Floral decorations throughout the hotel were gorgeous.

The staff was not the friendliest. Also, the pool area was a bit small - with an entire office building looking down on you as you sunbathe. But otherwise, it is a good and comfortable hotel in a great location.

Stayed here briefly during business trip.

Fantastic room, large, well lit, huge bed, amazing bathroom and lots of facilities. All totally spotless.

Staff were professional rather than friendly and welcoming.

Check in/out was quick and efficient without any hanging around.

Good location.

Definitely stay there again.
