YMCA One Orchard

For this price, in Singapore, this place is brilliant. I only booked two or three days in advance and got a twin room, with plenty of space on both sides of both beds, normal sized windows and a bathroom that was not cramped. The room had a kettle and coffee, fridge and a free water dispenser at the end of the corridor. Plus a roof top swimming pool that is big enough to swim up and down in. There are 4 different metro lines within 3 minutes walk, lots of buses from outside the hotel and Fort Canning park is right next door. There are plenty of places to eat and drink within 5 minutes walk and the aircon in the room worked fine. I had been slightly hesitant about staying at a YMCA when I booked but would stay here again anytime. It was great.

Great gym (old fashioned but works fine) and good pool. Shame the gym was only open till 6pm then you had to pay a fee to use…. Good location close to 2 MRT stations, one of which includes 3 lines (so it’s easy to get anywhere). Close to the shops. Old hotel but really very good. I’d recommend if staying for just a few days and you want a simple pool and gym for exercise (but not for glamour)

Location is absolutely perfect! It was quiet at night, beds were comfortable. We had a rather big bathroom (or I expected less..). Loved the roof top pool. Breakfast didn’t have many choices (no buffet, just some choices from wraps to sandwiches to order), BUT it was really yum!!! Staff were all very friendly and helpful. Rooms were clean as well. I can’t fault it for the price you pay for it.

Exceptional location, spacious room with all amenities, extremely friendly and helpful staff

Location: the BEST, incomparable, close to Dhoby Ghaut MRT (Red line) & Bencoolen MRT (Blue line) that get one everywhere. Bus stop right in front of the YMCA. Next to the National Museum of Singapore, Fort Canning Park (Tiong Bahru Bakery for breakfast & coffee is divine), right at the start of Orchard Rd where one can shop till you drop, one MRT stop to Newton Food Centre, one easy stroll down Bencoolen St or Princep (then Selegie) Street to Little India. Room: clean, comfortable, good to have a shower & have sleep. In the end, who travels to Singapore to stay in a hotel room all day? Rooms are serviced twice a week, and you can ask for clean towels and extra toilet rolls and the speedy room service will deliver to you. Many untidy people treat hotel rooms like pig styes, don't do that and you wouldn't need daily service. Breakfast: didn't try as there are so many more options outside. Why would one pay to stay anywhere else? If you have too much money and ego and are willing to pay for Hilton and the like, go for it it is your freedom. If you are poor and only want to stay in one of the Cube capsule cubicles, no one stops you. But for pure comfort at such an affordable price & value for money, YMCA is the best. Plus, at YMCA, God protect and look after you, as well as the friendly and helpful staff. WILL STAY AT YMCA forever & whenever travelling to Singapore.
