The marhaba Lounge in Singapore Terminal 1 is one of the lounges at Singapore Changi Airport that is open to many travellers – whether they hold a business class ticket, are members of a lounge programme, or pay for access. We visited it before our flight to find out whether it offers a relaxing alternative to the terminal or falls short of expectations.
The Crowne Plaza Changi Airport is one of the best airport hotels in the world and has won several awards at the Skytrax World Airport Awards. It is located directly at Singapore Changi Airport. We tested the hotel for one night before our return journey and report on the booking, location and rooms in this review. We also answer the question of whether an overnight stay at the multi-award-winning airport hotel is really worth it.
Singapore is one of Asia's most exciting cities. It is modern, diverse and surprisingly green. For our stay, we deliberately sought a hotel that was not located in the tourist centre, but was still well connected and offered a high level of comfort. We chose the Conrad Singapore Orchard Road, a hotel with a rich history that reopened under a new name in early 2024 after extensive renovations. In this hotel review, we report in detail on our experiences at the Conrad Singapore Orchard Road in October 2025.
Upon arriving in Singapore, we knew exactly what we wanted for our first few nights: a centrally located, comfortable hotel that also allowed us to take advantage of our Hilton status benefits. We chose the Conrad Singapore Marina Bay, a well-known luxury hotel in the heart of the city, which until recently was known as the Conrad Centennial Singapore. In this review, we share our personal impressions of the location, the rooms, the breakfast, the Executive Lounge, and the recreational facilities, and we'll show you who would particularly enjoy staying at this hotel.
Our long-haul flight with Turkish Airlines Economy Class on the Airbus A350 took us from Istanbul to Singapore. A modern aircraft, Do & Co catering, and a comprehensive in-flight entertainment program sounded like solid prerequisites for a pleasant flight. In this review, we describe our experiences with booking, the cabin, the seat, the food on board, and the in-flight entertainment, and assess how well Economy Class actually performed on this route.
On our flight from Berlin to Singapore, we had a layover of several hours in Istanbul and used the time to try out the iGA Lounge Istanbul in the international departure area. The lounge is known for its large size, wide range of food and various areas. Whether the visit was really worthwhile, whether the iGA Lounge Istanbul is one of the best Priority Pass lounges worldwide and how well we were able to relax there quickly became apparent during our stay.
The flight with Turkish Airlines Economy Class in the Airbus A330-300 from Berlin to Istanbul was the first leg of our autumn holiday trip to Singapore. We had specifically chosen this connection because of the good transfer times in Istanbul and were curious to see how Turkish Airlines would perform on this medium-haul route. In my review below, you can find out how comfortable the seats really were, what food was available on board and how good the entertainment system was.
