Standard Hilton experience with above average service. Some carpets starting to look tired. Great Orchard Road location. Can't go wrong here.

Decent location for Singapore, for all those shoppers; yet not in the middle of the mayhem of Orchard Rd. Old Hotel, one of those Hilton's built throughout Asia during the late 70's early 80's although they have in the last few years renovated the rooms. Unfortunately not much they can do with the bathrooms and they are still tiny! If you stay here, pay the difference and book the Club floor, it is well worth it; that is if you like your free drinks and nibbles in the evening; also take note like most hotels in the world, the windows in the rooms do not open; HOWEVER there is one set of rooms on the Club Floor with balconies and they are worth paying for; you have a bigger room and can escape the locked in feel of hotels.

In my case this hotel lived up to it's name. We have never stayed at this property before, we have always stayed down on the other end of Orchard Rd. which tends to have cheaper hotels, cheaper shops and cheaper places to eat. However the room rate at the Hilton was great so we decided to change hotels and we were not disappointed we were able to find numerous places to eat and shop that were reasonably priced. We would stay at this Hilton hotel again. The room was great and the staff was the best of the best. I will say like all Hilton hotels the mini-bar and room service have prices that are 3 times higher than they are outside the hotel, if Hilton would just be reasonable they would sell more products in house, no one likes to be taken advantage of, management just doesn't get it.....

At first I thought this will be just another old Hilton hotel, since I booked this hotel merely for the location. So I was expecting a worn out shabby room, but the minute I stepped into the room I could say that the room actually exceed my expectations. Nice carpetting, sharp interior, clean, just-the-right-size and good lighting. Another thing I love is the amneties, full range of Crabtree and Evelyn. I also tried out their room service: chocolate cake for dessert (heavenly), Chinese breakfast set and also Japanese breakfast set, I think both are value for money! Other facilities like pool and gym is so-so, but yes, it was nice to have a rooftop view of Orchard from the pool. The service is the good-old Hilton fashion that I adore: helpful door men, friendly house keeping, very good room service, easy check-in and check-out process. I would actually give a five star if it weren't for the noise on Friday night, I could hear club-beats blasted on top bass from 10 or 11pm through 1am.
