I will break down the reasons why I loved my stay so much in the following review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While in Singapore, don&#8217;t hesitate to visit the colorful <a href=\"https:\/\/dailytravelpill.com\/haji-lane-singapore-guide\/\"><strong>Haji Lane Street<\/strong><\/a>. Full of awesome restaurants, shops, and street art, this street is the perfect destination for a relaxing evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2>1. Accessibility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Singapore has been on my bucket list for a long time and I just couldn&#8217;t wait to explore it. Therefore, I was looking for a hotel easily accessible by both taxi and public transport and with good connections with the rest of the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/hotel\/sg\/holiday-inn-express-singapore-clarke-quay.en.html?aid=1604536&amp;no_rooms=1&amp;group_adults=2&amp;room1=A%2CA\" target=\"_blank\">Holiday Inn Express Singapore Clarke Quay<\/a> <\/strong>proved to be the best choice since I could get pretty much anywhere around the city by bus or subway. Also, I loved that the hotel was within walking distance of Chinatown and the Old Hill Police Station (one of the most colorful buildings in Singapore).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>No time to read now?

A green and environmentally conscious hotel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Holiday Inn Express Singapore Clarke Quay Hotel surprised me with smart features that reduce carbon and the energy spent. Did you know that with every night spent at the hotel you save the equivalent power which can light up a typical fluorescent tub for 330 hours?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, the hotel&#8217;s architecture is designed in such a way to facilitate the natural ventilation of the corridors and allow natural sunlight in the hotel lobby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\" data-imagelightbox=\"g\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" src=\"http:\/\/dailytravelpill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/holiday-inn-express-clarke-quay-singapore.jpg\" alt=\"Holiday Inn Express Clarke Quay Singapore save the hippos campaign\" class=\"wp-image-1345\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dailytravelpill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/holiday-inn-express-clarke-quay-singapore.jpg 750w, https:\/\/dailytravelpill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/holiday-inn-express-clarke-quay-singapore-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, the hotel is committed to raising awareness about the endangered species of the world through the &#8216;Save the hippos&#8217; campaign. I couldn&#8217;t help but notice the three funky hippos mascots &#8211; Hippy, Happy and Hoppy &#8211; around the hotel.

Our room<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If I could choose only two words to describe our room, they would be &#8216;smart&#8217; and &#8216;comfortable&#8217;. Although not extremely spacious, the room was equipped with all the amenities for a great stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We had an iron, electric kettle, minibar, complimentary water, TV, air conditioning, work desk, mini-fridge, and great Wi-Fi. One thing that drew my attention was the ready to use Handy Smartphone offering unlimited local and international calls and mobile internet &#8211; it was a great add on to our stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\" data-imagelightbox=\"g\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" src=\"http:\/\/dailytravelpill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/holiday-inn-express-clarke-quay-singapore-room-view.jpg\" alt=\"Holiday Inn Express Clarke Quay Singapore room interior\" class=\"wp-image-1341\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dailytravelpill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/holiday-inn-express-clarke-quay-singapore-room-view.jpg 750w, https:\/\/dailytravelpill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/holiday-inn-express-clarke-quay-singapore-room-view-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, the bed was super-comfy and I loved that we had both soft and firm pillows.

Unlike other hotels which have small pools just for relaxation, I loved that this pool was long enough for a good swim. If you just want to relax, you can always soak up some sun one of the sunbeds or you can try the jacuzzi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>7.
