2 Nights stay at the the Elizabeth Hotel, being a regular traveller to Singapore we recently stayed at the Elizabeth Hotel… Stay away, this hotel is one of the worst I have stayed at in Singapore it was $210AUD which is not cheap, the rooms are small, they smell & the hotel is old.. Because the room was so bad we where going to check out, because we booked directly with the hotel, they would not refund, so we had to stay, we had to pay an extra SIN$75.00 for a room that was better….It was not much better !!!!
Stay at The York across the road same price & far better service, rooms & overall experience better…

Having stayed at many 5 star hotels in Singapore and going now for just a quick weekend we thought we'd go down market so to speak (pardon the incredible arrogance here) and book a 4 star hotel for a change. If it's taught me anything it's that we've been overspending on our past trips to Singapore as I didn't really miss anything we would have had in the other hotels. The service was good, the people friendly, rooms well-appointed and clean and we had a really nice relaxed time. It doesn't quite have the luxurious opulent feeling of a Shangri-La or Raffles of course, but it's very good value for money and we would come back next time - and spend the savings on shopping or food!!

Breakfast was nice, if a bit on the basic side variety-wise. The restaurant staff were very friendly and extremely helpful with the kids. We didn't have any other meals at Modesto's (the Italian restaurant where breakfast is served as well) apart from some kids dinners and they were very good, as was the room service tomato & mozzarella salad and chicken dish that we had. There is also a pub next to the pool and drinks/snacks are served at the pool (small but nice enough with plenty of loungers around it)

The location is very convenient, a 5 min walk from Orchard Road and the Mount Elizabeth Hospital is on the way there - very handy for us as one of our kids always seems to end up sick on our travels!

We stayed at the Elizabeth Hotel on our way back to New York from a two week trip through Thailand and Cambodia.

I was actually pleasantly surprised by how comfortable the hotel was. Yes, it is a bit of an early- to mid-80's time warp (70's is an exaggeration). However, the room was well-sized, well-appointed and meticulously clean. Personally, I didn't think it was in dire need of an update like some have suggested nor did we hear any noise. Check-in was a breeze and the concierge was very helpful in helping us contact a friend in Singapore for dinner. A small problem with our room was resolved almost instantly. Since our rate didn't include breakfast, we can't comment on it.

One thing to note is that the hotel is a bit of a hike uphill from the Orchard Road shopping district and a 15-minute walk to the Orchard MRT station. If you are taking taxis everywhere, this is irrelevant but you should bear this in mind if you need to stay on Orchard Road (i.e., stay at Regent, Hilton or Marriott). This is probably why the hotel is lower priced than its nearby competition.

Overall, a good experience.

Recently my wife and I together with our adult son returned from one week at The Elizabeth Hotel in Singapore. Our son uses a wheel chair at all times and we experienced some difficulty in finding an hotel that offered 'accessible' facilities. We were reluctant to reserve the two rooms at The Elizabeth (one accessible and one standard) after reading the numerous Trip Advisor reviews..frankly we were nervous!

The hotel turned out to be perfect in every way, the rooms the staff, the buffet breakfast etc. In staff in particular were very helpful and at all times went out of there way to make our stay comfortable and pleasant. We were warned about the construction next door which does creat noise in the pool area but only during the day. The whole experience was excellent and we could not understand the negative reviews. The hotel is an easy stroll to Orchard Road but far enough away to be less crowded. The Elizabeth is not the Ritz however we thought it was excellent value. We would suggest you request a NON SMOKING LEVEL on the side away from the construction site.
