A fine old hotel, 60s style, in an excellent location at the top of Orchard Rd near the Botanical Gradens. Spanish style outdoor pool area; very spacious rooms (or ours was); good service. getting a bit run down. Not glitzy new. If you like character, space, and central location for both shopping and botanical gardens, plus proximity to embassies, this is a very pleasant place to stay...a little cheaper than the newer hotels but less boxy. It has a pretty, spacious pool area and pleasant lobby, internet service and attentive staff.The furnishings are getting shabby but fixtures have an art nouveau feel. We found it goodvalue for money and a pleasant hotel for relaxation.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : If you like walking, especially outside the heat of the day, walk up Orchard and Napier rd to the botanical gardens and orchid gardens. For an excellent range of food try the GFood Republic food court at Isetan/Ngee Ann City, nearby.

Close to Orchard Road shopping precinct and the Singapore Botanic Gardens. We arrived off an early morning flight from Athens and paid an early check-in supplement to have immediate use of a room. This was well worth it to be able to catch up on some much needed sleep before heading out on the town. The room was spacious and very comfortable. The staff were always polite and helpful.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : We walked from the hotel to the Botanic Gardens. There was so much to see there that we ran out of time. They are well worth a visit.

1. The hotel is very clean.
2. Breakfast is not good. The hotel is located in the nice location. It is convenience to commute from and to Airport,especially when coming by MRT. the hotel is clean, but there should be more variety of food for buffet breakfast.
Shopping Tip : Close to shopping area, Orchard road.

Location at top of Orchard Rd - easy walking distance to many shops, restaurants, cinema etc
Size of hotel - means easy to get rooms
Pricing is very competitive for its class
Upgraded me on check in - nice touch The Orchard Parade Hotel, Singapore is a sprawling pink hotel at the top of Orchard Road. Often confused with the Orchard Hotel – right opposite, and one star grade above it – the Orchard Parade is used by airlines for its crews as well as its passengers in transit to connecting flights the next day. It is a reasonable ‘value for money’ hotel, not particularly memorable but perfectly adequate in terms of room size, facilities etc whose location is its strongest feature.

I was there for 2 nights, the room was pretty good, nice size room - with a huge bed. Good location - hotel was on orchard road, close to all different kind of eating joints and shopping malls. The floor was dirty all through, on the first there were all kind eatables lying on the carpet -which were not looked at even on the second day after the room cleaning. Non-smonking room had constant smoking smell. Staff could have been much nicer, did not see any of them smile. Good hotel if you are with a family or short business trip - would not rate it highly if you going for relaxed holiday.

Good location near the heart of the city. Easy access to taxis. Rooms were clean and serice is good. We were upgraded to an Executive room when we checked in. Small rooms, internet access is additional and rather expensive compared to most hotels that have free internet access. We stayed at Orcharde Parade hotel for two weeks. Upon arrival they upgraded us to an executive room without our asking (good). The rooms are small. They have internet access but you must pay extra for this. Internest access for a week is $140 - $210 depending if you pay daily or weekly. The Service was fair, we had to call them a couple of times to come clean our room, they did not make up the room for some reason. People working there are very friendly. The location is good for being in the downtown area with quick assess to most areas. Most shopping areas or restaurants are withing walking distance from the hotel. Easy access to a taxi from the hotel. The room rates are much better through Agoda than checking in straight through the hotel. Several restaurants located at the hotel. The Black Angus has very good food, I would not recommend the Italian restaurant. The hotel does not have a business centre, but the will assist you with copies, scanning, etc at the front desk. The overall experience was good.
Nightlife Tip : For those intersted in nite life entertainment, it is across the street from Orchard Towers, but I would not recommend this place, too many other places to see that are better.

Location was very central, staff were very helpful Our room did not have a view of anything, looked onto more rooms. Some of the mosaic from the pool was missing and made it look a little tired and in need of some work. We had a lovely stay at this four star hotel, our room was on the 6th floor and although it didn't have a view we were on the same floor as the swimming pool and the gym which we enjoyed. The location was close to a number of restaurants and bars giving us a lot of choice for eating out and entertainment. The staff were friendly and helpful, we would stay here again.
Nightlife Tip : Hard Rock Cafe around the corner.

Whenever I stay in Singapore I try to stay here. It is on Orchard Road, with good access to food, entertainment, and the MRT (rail system). Taxis are readily available if I need to go to an area where public transport is not convenient. Staff are friendly. The hotel is clean and very well maintained. Good value or the location. Would strongly recommend to anyone going to Singapore.

Room was too cold when air conditioning is on, I could not control the room temperature properly. Very good choice for the price and location

rates were terrific,
rooms were okay,
great reception,
love the free parking, the access to my room was inconvenient
no free internet this hotel had rates that were considerably low if you take into account of their location, they had friendly receptionist. got to park my car for free too. i didnt quite like the room they've put me in, had to walk a distance and up a flight of steps to get to my room. was a problem as we had our baby with us and dragging the pram up and down those stairs were dissapointing. they had no other rooms available on that day.
Shopping Tip : if you had to do some shopping nearby and you have young kids with you, there's a place nearby which you can leave them under professional care. it's near the esprit boutique.

- Good location
- Good service
- Vert convenience The location for this hotel is very good. Exactly in the Orchard road. Can reach to the city by 2-3 min walk. Hotel service also good. Free upgrade to Deluxe room for me. But the toilet facility is a bit old and dirty, still acceptable. So far, value for money. Sure will visit again.

Near Orchard, good for shopping and food, cheap price Too old hotel.(need to remodel) The hotel is located in Orchard road. So you can see many restaurant and shop when you out. It is too old. I see there is many unworking facility in room.(I think maintenance tema is very busy..)
Anyway it is a little cheap hotel in Orchard road.

24 hours internet charge = $30
Buffet breakfast = $32
Room maintenance was of a low standard The Orchard Parade has good service, is clean and has a couple of good restaurants on the premises. Highly recommend the Steakhouse. However, the buffet breakfast was horrible and outrageously expensive for what we got. Go to Starbucks for free internet rather than paying $30 for using the hotel's hookup.
Nightlife Tip : Check out Muddy Murphy's across Orchard Road, good cold beer, Irish ambience, reasonable prices and good food.

rooms could have been much better at stated tariff I have been staying here for the last 2 years now and the hotel is the same which is good because one feels at home. However, I wish that they upgrade the interiors as regular visitors like self find something new and exciting.
Nightlife Tip : There are lots of bars and places to hang around which is good if one is traveling alone on a business trip.

The location is great, you just walk out and you will be on the shopping street, also very close to the MRT. The room is nice and clean. We heve got the double bed room as requested. The hotel should include breakfast, so that we feel it all includes and worth. The hotel is in great location and very convenient. I reccommend it, if you only have short time, you don't need to go anywhere.You can still doing your business and go shopping.
Nightlife Tip : Restaurant and pub on Clarke Quay
