Hi … Booked to celebrate a family member's birthday. Checked in on 3 Dec. Smooth check-in, well done for the front office team … given room 1501. Spacious for a family of 4. Surprised when the hotel team delivered a nicely decorated fruit platter as a birthday gesture. Impressed with their service. They may notice it during check-in as occupants' particulars need to be documented due to the pandemic. The housekeeping team is very friendly. On the 2nd day, the Swimming pool was very clean. We book for an hour as the pool area is limited to 12 pax per hour. Checked out on 5 Dec. Superfast, just need to drop a card in the checkout dropbox, and off we go … 👍 Thank you York Hotel, a weekend well spent! Served by the awesome team during our stay 🙏🏻.

The room was extremely comfortable and had all the amenities as stated. One thing I really liked was their smart TV, instead of just being able to surf the usual TV channels, I was able to connect my phone to the TV and play my own YouTube videos and shows from my phone, which I thought was quite cool. The hotel didn't feel congested or overcrowded at all despite the concierge informing us that they were almost fully booked that day, which was nice. They had a good breakfast spread-quite a variety of choices from oriental to american breakfast. Location was amazing as well! Right in the city centre-just right across the road from the MRT (City Hall) and near food places (Chijmes) and a mall (Raffles City), it was a breeze getting food and going to shop. Overall a 5/5 stay and would love to come back again!

  • Rainfall: The city experiences frequent, short bursts of rain, with the wettest months being November to January.
  • Humidity: High humidity is a constant, often exceeding 80%. Lightweight, breathable clothing is recommended.

YOTEL Singapore Orchard Road
Two consecutive nights our stay had a false alarm that woke us up. Our sleep was definitely disturbed by such. Besides the alarm, everything is wonderful

Hotel Boss
We enjoyed our stay at BOSS Hotel. Staff are very friendly, rooms are clean, & its location is great: very accessible, the bus station is exactly in front of the hotel, its proximity to major tourist destinations is another plus to this hotel. There are restaurants & food stations near the hotel.

Hotel Royal
Great Loacation (right in the middle between 2 MRT: Novena Station & Newtown Station) note: Closer to Novena Station just 3-5 min walk. Spacious bedroom size, considering other Hotel with similar price are alot smaller. Overall I had a plesent stay at this Hotel. However, my big problem is the GYM Facility whish is VERY BAD. I think as a hotel, you can definetly do better than this.

Hotel Bencoolen Singapore
Room is spacious and clean, Bathroom also nice. The only thing that made me uncomfortable was the floor and noises, i heard someone screaming around 10 to 11 PM. Overall its good if you want a big room, swimming pool and want to go to the city center such as Orchard Rd, Bencoolen Mrt, Dhoby Ghaut and Sommerset.
