What guests think

At Holiday Inn Express Singapore Katong by IHG, travellers consistently praise very clean rooms and the generous, varied complimentary breakfast, while noting compact room sizes and a Katong location that is convenient yet not fully central.

Many guests find buses and malls nearby and the airport a short taxi ride away, though some mention a longer trip to downtown or the MRT. Comfortable beds and modern design are appreciated, but recurring remarks include thin walls, small bathrooms with awkward doors or drainage, and occasionally slow Wi-Fi. Service is widely described as warm and helpful, with early check-ins and prompt assistance, alongside a few reports of slow or impersonal front-desk interactions. Expect a clean, efficient base in a lively neighbourhood.

If using public transportation from Changi airport the 36 bus takes you about 2 blocks from the hotel in about 35 minutes. Hotel reception is on the 7th floor so entrance to hotel is not obvious from the street. The hotel is located through the shopping arcade fronted by Starbucks and BaBa Chews restaurant. Good size room with comfortable bed. Daily breakfast had a decent selection and was open from 6:30-10:30. There is a gym and laundry and outdoor patio. Lots of restaurants and shopping in the area.

We had a great stay at this hotel. The buffet breakfast was excellent with many choices. The location was convenient, near the metro, a shopping mall, and interesting heritage shops. The only unusual part was that reception was on the 7th floor, but overall, a wonderful experience!

Overall a very good hotel. There are some small issues, like the gym being extremely small without many options, or the plumbing in the bathrooms, with the sink sometimes smelling like sewage. The breakfast is very impressive, the bed is super comfortable, and the location is excellent.

We stop here for a late night early morning flight . The hotel was very good ,I would have stayed again but it's a little far from the main highlights of the city . It had the biggest breakfast buffet I've ever seen . The hotel front desk is on the 4th floor (kind of interesting) . The taxi from the airport was about $30 , back was $25 . You could get there by subway but it's over an hour ,the taxi is 10 to 15 min.

I have nothing but only great things to say about this hotel! My son who is three, woke up sick at 3 AM and threw up all over our sheets. I called up housekeeping and informed them, and they sent someone up within 10 minutes. They did not charge us extra and for that I’m so thankful. I lost my key card, and informed the reception, and they gave me a new one without any extra charge. The USB ports were not working, call the reception and they sent a technician up very quickly and got it fixed right away. The service given to us was impeccable. All staff were always friendly and always catered to the individual. I will certainly recommend Holiday Inn Katong to our friends and family :)

This is a great property to stay if you are on a budget and need to be in the east or near the airport. It is located in Joo Chiat, a trendy neighborhood well known for its cafes and plentiful food choices. You can also book yourself to one of the many spin/yoga/pilates classes nearby. The guest room though small has an efficient use of space. The rooms are very clean and new and it is what I appreciated the most. It had good aircon control as well as water control in the bathrooms. It would be great if the chair was more comfortable so I can work more comfortably in the room. The stay came with breakfast, though basic - bread, porridge, noodles, eggs, salad, fruit and cereal, it was good enough to nourish me for the day. The dining area is very spacious though it felt a bit like being in a canteen. I think it would be great to spruce up the reception area to make it more modern and less tired. There is also a laundry area to wash your clothes, and that's another big plus. All in all, it was worth the price I paid, the biggest plus is the location and the clean and new rooms.

The breakfast that was included was extensive and good with generous serving hours (6:30-10:30). Convenient location with Starbucks and multiple restaurants and shop on the street right behind. Rooms were a bit small but perfectly comfortable with pillows marked “firm” and “soft” so you can choose for sleeping. Thought it was a really great value for the money.
