3-star hotel in Little India with free breakfast and carnival-themed design

Carnival-Themed Design & Sustainability

The hotel's interior draws inspiration from Singapore's amusement park history, with unique carnival-themed decor throughout the public areas. Holiday Inn Express Singapore Serangoon follows the IHG Clean Promise standards, focusing on sustainability in daily operations. A filtered water tap in each guest room eliminates the need for plastic water bottles.

Complimentary Breakfast & Dining

Each morning, the hotel serves a free Express Start Breakfast with hot and cold items, including a Grab & Go option for travelers in a hurry. The Great Room functions as both a breakfast area and a casual lounge, with a bar offering snacks and drinks for purchase. A vending machine on site sells ice cream, and the front desk stocks bottled water, drinks, and fruit.

Rooms & On-Site Facilities

Guest rooms are compact but equipped with a queen bed, two firm and two soft pillows, blackout curtains, and an in-room safe. The hotel provides a 24-hour fitness centre with treadmills, weights, and yoga mats, plus a massage chair in the lobby. A self-service laundry with washing powder supplied is available, and one meeting room seats up to eight people.

Location & Transport Access

The hotel sits in the Jalan Besar district within walking distance of Little India, the Mustafa Centre, and Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple. Three MRT stations (Farrer Park, Jalan Besar, Bendemeer) are within a 10-minute walk, and a bus stop is directly outside the front entrance. Travel time to Singapore Changi Airport is about 20 minutes by taxi, and Orchard Road shopping area is less than 10 minutes by MRT.

Family-Friendly Accommodations

Families can book a larger family room on each floor, with one extra single bed alongside a queen bed. The hotel offers daily housekeeping, a children-friendly breakfast selection with both Western and Asian options, and luggage storage after checkout. Staff members are known to help families with strollers, adapters, and local recommendations for kid-friendly activities.

Just adequate, some issues

small room nonexistent soundproofing
The staff was nice and polite, which i suppose is the least they could do.
The room i got was small. There was barely enough space to move around, let alone sit at the "desk". Soundproofing was non-existent. I could hear everything happening in the corridor and the cleaning closet right behind my room was a major disturbance each morning.

small room underwhelming breakfast
The room size felt a bit cramped. I could barely turn around, a surprise given what i expected and there was no wardrobe. the breakfast was, shall we say, underwhelming. it seemed a bit like a free-for-all, and i saw some folks struggling to find a clean table after getting their food. i think a better system is needed to manage tables more efficiently.
