Overview of Lloyd's Inn
Lloyd's Inn is a 3.5-star boutique hotel at 2 Lloyd Road in River Valley, Singapore 239091. According to Traveloka's property data, the building dates from 2014 and was last renovated in 2025, so the hotel pairs more than a decade of history on a quiet residential street with a recent refresh. It is a compact, low-rise property: the listing records just 34 rooms spread across two floors, a scale that sits closer to a guesthouse than to the large towers found a few hundred metres away on Orchard Road.
That contrast is the main reason travellers pick Lloyd's Inn. River Valley is one of the city's older residential pockets, made up of low-rise streets, shophouses and condominiums, yet the hotel lists Orchard Road only 0.5 km away and Fort Canning Park under a kilometre away. Guests get a residential address with Singapore's main shopping street within walking distance, and the riverside dining strip at Robertson Quay at a similar distance in the other direction.
The property is categorised on Traveloka as a hotel rather than a serviced apartment, with a 24-hour receptionist, a concierge and front desk staff who greet guests on arrival. Its standout shared spaces are an outdoor pool with sun loungers, a rooftop terrace and a library, which give it a relaxed, unhurried feel that is uncommon among small hotels in central Singapore.
Room Types at Lloyd's Inn
All 34 rooms at Lloyd's Inn are air-conditioned and non-smoking. Traveloka's listing shows the following room categories, presented here from the entry-level option upwards. Bed configurations are as shown on the listing at the time of writing; always confirm the exact bed type, occupancy and inclusions on the room card before you book, as room allocations can change.
The Standard Room
The Standard Room is the entry point of the room ladder at Lloyd's Inn and is listed with a queen-sized bed and an en-suite bathroom. It suits solo travellers and couples who want a well-located base and plan to spend most of the day out exploring Orchard Road, the Singapore River and the Civic District.
The Garden Room
The Garden Room is listed with a king-sized bed. As the name suggests, it is oriented towards the property's green outdoor spaces, which makes it a natural step up for guests who want a little more character than the Standard category. Check the room description on the listing for the current layout.
The Patio Room
The Patio Room is also listed with a king-sized bed and is set apart by its own outdoor patio area. The property notes that it has outdoor spaces such as patios and terraces, so this category appeals to couples who enjoy a little private open-air space after a day in the city.
The Skyroom
The Skyroom is one of the upper categories at Lloyd's Inn and is listed with a king-sized bed. It is a good choice for guests who prefer a room on the upper level of this two-storey building, away from ground-floor foot traffic.
The Big Skyroom
The Big Skyroom is the largest category on the listing and is shown with two queen-sized beds, making it the most practical option for friends travelling together or a small family. Note that the property states it does not provide cribs or rollaway beds, so the two-bed layout is the way to accommodate an extra sleeper.
In-room features
According to the property information on Traveloka, rooms at Lloyd's Inn come with:
- Air conditioning and a flat-screen television with cable programming
- Free WiFi in the room
- A private bathroom with a shower, rainfall showerhead and complimentary toiletries

Facilities and Amenities
For a hotel of only 34 rooms, Lloyd's Inn offers a thoughtful set of shared spaces. Traveloka's facility data lists the following on-site amenities:
- Outdoor pool with pool sun loungers, a welcome way to cool off after a humid afternoon in the city
- Rooftop terrace and an additional terrace area for taking in the neighbourhood views
- Library, a quiet corner for reading or planning the next day
- Free WiFi across the property

Service-wise, the hotel has a 24-hour receptionist, concierge services, luggage storage and newspapers in the lobby. For accessibility, the listing marks the property as disabled-access friendly with an accessible path of travel. Guests with specific mobility requirements should still contact the hotel before arrival to confirm which rooms best suit their needs.
A few house rules are worth knowing. Only registered guests are allowed in the guest rooms, pets and service animals are not permitted, and the property does not offer cribs or extra beds. Lloyd's Inn accepts credit cards, but cash is not accepted for payment. As with most city hotels, noise-free rooms cannot be guaranteed, and the outdoor spaces such as patios and terraces may not be suitable for young children, so families should check with the hotel before booking.

Why Stay at Lloyd's Inn
Lloyd's Inn suits travellers who want a small, calm hotel without giving up a central address. With only 34 rooms on two floors, it rarely feels crowded, and the shared outdoor pool, rooftop terrace and library give guests places to unwind that many larger city hotels do not offer at this scale.

- Walkable to Orchard Road: the city's main shopping street is listed just 0.5 km away
- Riverside on the other side: Robertson Quay and Fort Canning Park are each under a kilometre away
- Varied room categories: from the queen-bed Standard Room to the two-queen Big Skyroom, with Garden and Patio options in between
- A recent refresh: the property data records a 2025 renovation of the 2014 building
- Round-the-clock reception: a 24-hour receptionist and concierge help with late arrivals and local advice
It is a particularly good match for couples, solo travellers and small groups who plan to explore the city by day and prefer a quieter residential street at night.
