About this hotel
Holiday Inn Express & Suites Singapore Novena by IHG sits in the Novena district roughly 10.9 km from Seletar Airport, further out than the Kovan budget hotels but closer to central Singapore's hospital and shopping area. Free breakfast is included, which is not the case at many of the larger hotels nearby, and a kitchen in select rooms suits a longer stay or children with their own meal times. An outdoor pool gives a pre-flight evening some structure. Pet-friendly policies and kid-friendly rooms widen who can book comfortably, a rare combination near the airfield. Check-in is at 2pm and check-out at noon, standard Singapore hours. No airport shuttle is listed, so a taxi is the way to reach Seletar, and I would plan for the longer ride on an early morning.

Our take
I recommend Holiday Inn Express & Suites Singapore Novena by IHG to families and pet owners who want breakfast included, a pool and the option of a kitchen, and who accept a longer taxi to Seletar in return. If the shortest possible ride to the airfield matters most, I would look at the Kovan hotels, which sit noticeably closer.
- Ask for a room with a kitchen if staying more than one night, only some rooms include this amenity.
- Take advantage of the included breakfast, it's a rarer inclusion among the pricier hotels on this list.
- Book early if travelling with a pet, pet-friendly rooms are limited compared to standard inventory.
Why we love it
- Free breakfast included
- Kitchen access in select rooms
- Pet-friendly alongside kid-friendly rooms
- Outdoor pool for a pre-flight evening
Why guests love itI would book Holiday Inn Express & Suites Singapore Novena by IHG for a family that wants breakfast sorted before a Seletar flight, since it is included. The outdoor pool and kid-friendly rooms make a pre-flight evening easier to fill, and a kitchen in select rooms helps with young children's mealtimes. Pets are welcome too. The trade-off is distance: about 10.9 km to the airfield and no shuttle, so I would allow real taxi time.
