YOTEL Singapore Orchard Road

Location, location, location! Needed a hotel on Orchard Road for a one night stay in Singapore. YOTEL Singapore was so convenient. Arranged a taxi from the airport to the hotel. Our driver was great and gave us tips about the gardens and Newton Hawker Centre close by. Able to drop off our luggage and walk to the Hop On Hop Off bus stop literally next to the hotel. This made sightseeing so easy. For our night tour, they dropped us off at the ION Orchard across the street. The hotel is very purple. Purple lobby. Purple elevators. Purple hallways. Check-in is via purple kiosks. Grab a couple of, you guessed it, purple labeled water bottles so that you can stay hydrated in the Singapore heat and humidity. The rooms are small, but well organized with a small fridge, folding chairs, umbrella and fold out ironing board. The bathroom has an amazing view with floor to ceiling windows. Blackout curtains included. Breakfast was very good. Sat outside on the open courtyard. Lots of local breakfast options like a noodle bar, vegetarian samosas, and the most delicious steamed red bun pau. Grab some fresh fruits, cheese or have a western veggie omelette or eggs cooked to order. The puta mayam was served with orange sugar sugar sprinkled on top. Lots of options for coffee, tea and juices. Nice stay for a limited frills hotel stay on Orchard Road.

Excellent location beside Shaw Center with driveway for dropoff / pickup and convenient to Orchard MRT (even when it is raining). Connected via underpass to the major shopping malls with food courts, retail shops, banks etc (like Tangs, Ion, Wisma Atria, Ngee Ann City, Takashimaya & Isetan). Room is compact (not a lot of space for larger luggage other than under the bed) but has pretty much everything you need from mini fridge, safety deposit box, TV, small flip-down desk and ironing board to umbrella & reclining bed). Shower is hot with good water pressure. $8 voucher given for spend at Komyuniti on 10th floor for each day not requiring housekeeping (can still change towels, empty garbage bins & get water bottles) - max. consecutive two days each stretch with cleaning on third day. Hotel feels funky & contemporary with purple theme & two robots (Yolanda & Yoshi) helping out.

The staff were terrific. The cleanliness in the hotel is unparalleled.

Overall, the hotel was really clean and facilities were small but a nice touch. Staff were really helpful and friendly. Checking in and out are now mainly done yourself, but it is quite straightforward and the staff is there to help. A very convenient location, plenty of malls and eateries along with the nearby orchard mrt station.

Clean and easy to access
