The new Ibis hotel or Holiday Inn Atrium

Hi,

My sister and I are looking to go to Singapore for 3 nights later this year and we were looking at staying at the Carlton Hotel again but it has gotten to be quite expensive.

Our thoughts are either Holiday Inn Atrium or the new Ibis hotel which is being built but are unsure which would be better.

We are looking at location mainly for shopping etc but will head to the Quays for dinner too.

We also would be looking for plenty of restaurants and hopefully Hawkers around the hotel we stay at.

Which do you think would be better for location out of the two? Also I know that Holiday Inn has a pool but does anyone know if the Ibis will?

Thanks!

I understand that the Ibis will not have a pool. We are booked to go there and that was a disappointment for us but to be honest always stayed at a hotel with a pool in the past but because it was usually raining did not get much chance to use it.

Well, Holiday Inn Atrium and Ibis are definitely not in the same league. Holiday Inn Atrium is rated one star above Ibis and is positioned as a family hotel, while the Ibis is positioned as a great value, no frills hotel. If an on-site swimming pool is an important part of your vacation, then go for the Holiday Inn Atrium - this hotel has been around for ten years or more but has undergone a couple of management changes. If you can live without an on-site swimming pool, and save some $ for great shopping, then choose the Ibis. I always like staying in spanking new hotels. Ibis in Bencoolen Street is very near Carlton Hotel so if you liked living in that area with its shopping, museums, restaurants and watering holes, then go for the Ibis. You may also wish to consider the Golden Landmark Hotel, which has a pool and good reviews from TA members, located one MRT station away from the Carlton. Cheers.

Not sure why anyone would need a pool when the purpose is to shop, eat %26amp; Location been important.^_^

I think Australia have better beach for that beach side relaxation.

Ibis Hotel @ bencoolent Singapore would be the best option when you are here to shop, eat %26amp; like having most place just nearby the hotel.

Ibis r basic hotels that doesnt come with too many extras but since it is brand new, it should be more than fine.

If u r looking for a pool, I am not sure what your budget is but there is a pre-opening special going on for the Quincy (opening next month) that is really a steal as it includes all your meal, free wifi, local calls, etc

u said it is later in the year so I am not sure if this rate will apply.

Good Luck

PS. u should consider the Furama hotels if u want to be in that area.

Ibis Hotel will not have a pool.

If it is all about location. Go for ';Ibis';.
