YMCA @ One Orchard 3 stars

I like the breakfast and the location of the hotel is ok as it is near to shoopping centre. The room is value for money except I wish that it is sound-proof so that I can rest better.

Rooms clean and Mr Bino is very accommodating. We will recommend this hotel to our friends.

This is the 4th time we are staying from this hotel. The location is very convenient to roam around Singapore. Very near to MRT, bus stops, shopping mall and tourist spots. They also offer buffet breakfast but only few foods are being served. Also, this hotel have a pool where you can relax and meet your friends.

Overall the location is excellent. Rooms are small.

The Y was a home-hostel. The staff were all helpful, and had time to point out directions and tips for navigating the big city. The Y was in the most central point -- near the MRT, in the neighborhood of the National Museum of Singapore; beside the Presbyterian church and small parks everywhere. The rooms were always kept clean and tidy; and the buffet breakfast was more than enough to keep us alive for the long walks. The price per day for the room was reasonable. We will certainly come back and enjoy more of Singapore with the Y. Thanks to the friendly staff and good management.

There is no complimentary newspaper and tea or coffee sachets provided. There is no receipt issued as it was being booked by Asia Travel. hassle for claim. The breakfast should have some changes in the choice of food. One type of food esp.the kueh is not palatable. The chef/staff would know which food is most demanding as they have to refill them. If they don't refill them, that type of food is not demanding. Thank You.

I have stayed at the YMCA twice - both times were excellent. I would recommend the YMCA to others.

YMCA Singapore was value for the money paid with good choice of breakfast and excellent service from front desk staff to the cafe staff. rooms are small but clean and I have no complaints from this visit. only down side is its hard to get a cab in front but the MRT and bus stop is just round the corner.

Good price for bed and breakfast, very close to the bus and train stations, but not so convenient for early flights. The room is perfect for tourists who spend the whole day out in the city. The breakfast was pretty good it has many options including fruits and proteins.

Very great location but the room is not very comfy and quiet.

Very good location. Good value for money.

Hotel was clean, relatively cheap for the week I was there, but the water pressure out of the shower was very weak. Free wifi and excellent location via the subways makes this a decent place to stay. Breakfast was also included and it was basic, but good enough to get going for the day.

The hotel looks clean from the outside & inside. I am not sure if there are facilities for visitors to park or drop off guests. Hailing a taxi outside on a busy one way road can be a little difficult. my only complaint are the water marks around the vent of the air conditioning and surrounding ceiling. These and part of the wall around the beds could do with a touch of paint.

YMCA-perfect location. Staff were friendly and very helpful. Easy access to public transport. Short walk to Orchard Road. Could walk to Little India. One step away from Orchard Road which meant you could leave the hustle bustle and visit galleries, museums, sites of interest. Supermarket within walking distance. Food courts within walking distance. Will definitely stay there again.

It is very clean and high value for money. If you are a tourist that intends to go around the city the whole day anyway, YMCA is a good place to rest for the evening. Very clean.

Good location, easy get transportation by bus & MRT.

The hotel location is good and easy to reach, the room is quite clean, the service ok and the breakfast complete enough although the restaurant too small during peak season. one of the hotel I consider when I visit to Singapore.

This was my second time staying at the YMCA and I would stay there again on my next trip to Singapore. Great value for money. Rooms are a little on the small side but was very clean. Check in and check out was a breeze. Rooms were clean and furnishings look new.

I like this hotel, it is very close to Dhoby Ghaut MRT Station, 5 minutes by foot. It is also close to the famous shopping centres Orchard road, about 8-10 minutes walk. The hotel room is very clean, even though the room is small about 3 X 3 m2. I stayed there with my husband and 1 my little girl. Unfortunately, even the bed is comfort, the hotel doesn't have the double bed size, they only have the twin bed. It is a bit problem to us, because when we joining the two bed together, the bed is easy to move, so I could not sleep well. So, I recommend if you want to stay there and you have a child like me, ask for the 3 bed room. The problem is if we stay in the 3 bed room, the hotel rates is not competitive any more compare to other hotels along Orchard road.

Small, but Nice and clean.

Room is small for 2 adults and 2 children. Should provide at least one queen size bed for family rather than 2 double bed. Location is excellent, very near MRT. Room and bathroom are clean.

Location very near to MRT station. Room is clean but small.

I stayed in the hotel with my son and family. We all enjoyed the stay.

Room too small, restaurant too small.

More a hostal than hotel but lovely swimming pool on roof terrace (although little else to offer as amenity). Although reasonable breakfast, b'fast room small & very frequently overcrowded with food running out). Rooms are small and cramped - and no coffee/tea etc with the kettle. Expensive for what was offered. However great location. Ruthless about extracting every cent possible. Perhaps Xmas rate made it poor value for money, especially having to unexpectedly pay even more on arrival for a second child (see Asia Travel Service below).

Overall a very pleasant stay. Free WiFi a bonus! Excellent front of house, the buffet breakfast a feast, location - perfect! Thank you.

Very nice location, Orchard road shopping area within 5-10 minute walk. Room is clean and has complete amenities expected in a 4 star hotel. Reception and concierge are very accommodating. Won't have second thought going back.

Excellent place to stay in; close to everything and SO clean.

As a family of four we found the YMCA to be very suitable for our short stay in Singapore. As we only needed somewhere to sleep, it was ideal. Just enough room for the four of us and breaks included. Clean room and amenities, with everything we needed supplied.

Our family spent 3 nights at the hotel - excellent location - next to the Singapore Museum and 2 mins walk to Dhoby Ghaut MRT and 5 mins walk to Plaza Singapura. Bus stop outside takes you up Orchard Road. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Rooms were fairly small, functional but clean and air conditioner works very well! Free wireless internet for guests works everywhere in hotel - very good. Breakfast was friendly and fun. Recommended.

great location, very accessible however, the wifi service was off during my stay :o(

The hotel is good for staying and breakfast is very good. If I visit Singapore, the YMCA hotel is priority to stay. Thank you

Fantastic value for money! The last time I visited this hotel was 30 years ago when I was a small girl. This hotel has reburbished and modernised itself to serve the modern, demanding tourist. It has done a superb job. Keep up the good work!

Hotel was fine. Renovations going on in the hotel making reception messy. Everyone was friendly and efficient. Breakfast was fairly basic and food was running out at 9am. Location is very good.

Excellent service.

Overall, the service and facilities provided are satisfactory. Areas for improvement- Staff friendliness at front desk , variety of breakfast.

This hotel must have been renovated recently - room was small but clean and well maintained. Excellent location, can walk to all.

Always stay at YMCA One Orchard in Singapore. Feel welcome, it has great facilities, gym in basement and pool on roof. Cafe has ample and tasty breakfasts daytime meals not bad bit limited for vegetarians like me. Y is in perfect postion for transport, buses outside door MRT a block away.

The site of YMCA is perfect... very near Dhoby ghaut Station, only a 3 minute walk. and there's a bus stand just beside the hotel... you can get number 36 bus from Changi Airport and straight to YMCA. Very near Park Mall, Plaza Singapura.. and the best thing is it's located in the famous Orchard Road... The rooms... clean and the staffs are very friendly...

The room was reasonably furnished (except for the worn out carpet). Clean and comfortable with all the basics. The location is excellent with an MRT station within 2 minutes walk. Accomodation is very expensive in Singapore so this place is reasonable value.

The hotel offers good value for money. The location is also very convenient.

I had a pleasant stay, room is clean with strong shower. Breakfast is just adequate nothing elaborate. The distance to the nearest MRT is a 7 minutes walk, needing to cross a couple of traffic lights. Would I recommend it ? Yes, for those who wants a quiet ambiance.

Even though the rooms were small, our room was very clean, and had all the facilities required. We liked the fresh white sheets provided each day. On a previous overnight stopover we stayed in the Metropolitan YMCA and we had a beautiful big room where we cold spread out a bit. I'm not sure if One Orchard has the larger rooms, but we would be tempted to stay in a larger room next time if available. Location at One Orchard is excellent, very convenient to the underground and good shopping. Having breakfast included in the fee was good and the choice was excellent. However, there was not much vegetarian food on offer at the evening meals, which was disappointing for us as 3/4 are vegetarians. We had an adjoining room with another couple - our good friends - unfortuneately he was bitten all over by bed bugs which took a long time to shrug off even after we arrived back in Australia. This took the gloss off the stay.

Excellent place,very well situated for visiting and safe.Many buses and MRT just outside. Good food court on 6th floor at Pazza Singapura. Good breakfast in YMCA with a splendid view.Good service with friendly staff.I spent nice time there.

Quiet, clean, good location, decent simple breakfast, can bus directly to Changi from the doorstep bus stop!

Comfortable and clean. Fabulous location for shopping and museums

Location is very good. Walking distance to Orchard Road. Very near to an MRT station ie Dhoby Ghout. With the MRT, is was easy to move around Singapore. Price is very reasonable but room was a bit small. There were three of us. Facilities in the room is bare minimal. The TV was old and very small - 16"inches. Good for backpackers or anyone who don't spent too much time in the room. Breakfast was reasonable with a moderate spread of food.

The room is alright . tidy when we are arrive. The staff is good and friendly, spend time to check in less than 5 mins. But the price is a bit too high for the size of room.It should be more cheaper this will be perfect. By the way, this will be the good choice for stay here .

We were pleased with ymca orchard road. We booked a superior room (not new. I don't know if we were given the superior NEW room because the rooms are like new and are very clean. They are not that spacious as what you can get in a five star hotel but they're just perfect. You can use the big closets for your baggage. The Kopitiam a few minutes walk from YMCA is a real plus. Doby ghaut station which can take you anywhere is also very near ymca. Breakfast was real good. Although it was mainly sausage and baked beans, there was a variety of breakfast choices ( breads, congee, pudding, pastries). I love the kaya mini siopao they served. We will surely stay at ymca orchard again when we go back to singapore.

The best is hotel location.. quite convenience to go anywhere in Singapore. But the room is quite old and small. Breakfast is quite few options and costly comparing to the money paid for. Suggest buy only room without breakfast and can easily find one nearby..

The location is perfect! Very clean and staff are nice and friendly. Also peaceful and quiet and a good place to relax after long day of enjoying the city of Singapore. Totally worth the money and would definitely stay here again the next time I come back!

YMCA@ One Orchard Road is excellent for budget conscious travelers or tourists. Price is very reasonable yet you get a clean and decent accomodation. The rooms are quite small but that is good enough cause for me I don't need big rooms which I will use only for sleeping and keep my belongings. The location is really "Greate", near shopping malls, restaurants, train station, bus station, just walking distance.

I came the second time here.The room was clean and fine. Good location.

Downtown hotel with a better price

The hotel needs a make over especially the carpets, bed covers and room walls. Other than that the staff are very helpful, knowledgeable, and checking in and out hours are quite flexible if rooms are available. Security wise its excellent with a homely air. Most of the guests are family and decent people looking for decent accomodations. A very safe and hassle free stay. Food in cafe was good and reasonably priced.

Our 2nd time staying at YMCA@Orchard and will recommend this hotel to all our friends. Being in Orchard Road and close to public transport, its location is superb. Clean and quiet hotel - very suitable for lady travellers. This hotel is real value for money good breakfast to start off shopping spree in Singapore!

Check in was smooth and hazzlefree. Good and clean rooms with all amenities one would look forward to. Good value for money. Cafeteria was well equipped and served good hot and tasty food, specially breakfast. I would anytime love to stay in YMCA @ ONE ORCHARD in the future. Good work. Keep it up. Thanks

the hotel is a little expensive for the amount we paid for except the location is very central.

The 1st night we were given a room in the 4th floor which was small, basic and cleanliness considered ok,a bit disappointed. The next day, they moved us to the 6th floor, loved that new room which was spacious, clean, nice decoration and up to our expectation. P.S Make sure when you check in ask for a room in the 6th floor or above : ) Definately will recommend to anyone who plans to visit Singapore as it is value for money and also close to shopping centre and MRT station.

Staff is friendly and accommodating. Buffet breakfast is good and value for money. Hotel is clean and accessible to shopping, dining and all modes of transport

(-) Flexible check in time if the room is available Don't make it strickly check in time must at 14.00 (+) Good lacation near DoubyGhout MRT, Plaza Singapore,Park Mall, Singapore Museum & SMU University, 1 or 2 MRT station access to Orchard Road or you can do it by walk only 10 minutes

The staff were friendly. The location is great. It had a very informal feel. Choice of cuisine is limited though.

the hotel is clean and comfortable. Ideal for business travelers. The food is very good though. The room needs to be repaired.

My spouse and myself spent 1 night at the YMCA on 15OCT10. This is our second stay in the hotel. The plus point is the strategic location in the city, just a stone throw to the MRT station, shopping centres with variety of food. The room is very small/attached bathroom but comfortable. Perhaps the hotel could throw in some coffee/tea bags as there was a readily available kettle in the room. I have no compliants.

This is our second time here. It is in a great location and staff very helpful. Breakfast a bit busy but the price is right.

It's very good location. Near MRT station (Dhoby Gaut), and also a Bus Stop is located in the front of the hotel. There also several shopping mall near to the hotel such as Plaza Singapura, Park Mall and Cathay.

Friendly staff from receptionist, restaurant and house keeping.

It's a no frill hotel. Clean and comfortable. Room is a bit small and therefore can really accommodate two people so as not to be too cramped. I like the bathroom though - quite spacious and clean. Breakfast was good as well.

Room is very small but clean & tidy, good for short stay, good location, short distance to MRT.

Fast check-in, closed MRT + shelter bus + shopping centre

The hotel's location is good, it takes about 5 minutes to walk to the nearest MRT station - Dhoby Ghaut. They served buffet breakfast which we enjoyed. Over all rating - GOOD

the stay at ymca was excellent

The location is strategic , near the DHOBY GHAUT MRT. On the top we can look at Singapore view. The food is delicious. The service is good. Next time if I go to Singapore, I will stay here.

convenient location for all public transports

Yeah is ok

Overall it is great. The MRT is slightly far away from the hotel. We need to walk about 10-15 minutes to reach the hotel. It will be a problem if we are carry a heavy luggage. Their service is good! Friendly and kindness! Definitely will return to stay again!

Very convenient location.

it's so nice to stay at YMCA @ One Orchard, every time we travel we always looking the YMCA hotel, the food, the rooms everything are great. we enjoy staying in this hotel.

Hotel rooms are big and clean.

YMCA @ One Orchard has a GREAT location!--its near an MTR subway station, bus station & is within walking distance to many lovely spots in the city including the famed-Orchard Road! Its surrounded by BEAUTIFUL parks, Churches & Museums..you can't beat that!

Perfect location with good amenities and services as well

Excellent location - close to MRT, 24-hour food court and cinemas! A bit pricey for just a basic room, but this is Singapore after all.

Perhaps my feedback is this way as I was allocated one of the older rooms. Newer rooms, I believe, are renovated. The real advantage of this place is location, and that wi-fi is free. I am tempted to return.

Good value for money and the location and cleanliness is excellent. In particular, the location is very good for travelers on the move. MRT and bus stop (beside the hotel) just a stone's throw away. Can get to any location in Singapore without any hassle. Staff friendly, helpful and pleasant to deal with. Compared to YMCA, Malaysia this hotel is a world apart - with swimming pool, pool table and other amenities. I think this is the best value for money.

good location

Hotel is clean with friendly staff.

We found the staff very friendly and most helpful.

The hotel is conveniently located at the City Centre. It is value for money. The room is clean (although not new) and with all the basic amenities. The staff are helpful and friendly. The restaurant is fine and the price is very reasonable (SGD 7 for a nice Hainan Chicken Rice at YMCA compared with SGD 9.90 in other city center restaurants). The swimming pool is also clean. Overall, it is a very good choice for a budget bed-and-breakfast accomodation. Will definitely stay with YMCA again.

THE ROOM AND BATHROOM WERE SMALLER THAN EXPECTED. BREAKFAST WAS BETTER THAN EXPECTED. EVERYTHING ELSE WERE UP TO 3STAR HOTEL STANDARD.

Just a reminder this is an excellent hostel, not to be confused with hotels we are familiar with. That said it is superior to the majority of the hotels in Singapore by hearsay and experience. It is located well, close to conveniences such as food courts, cinemas, churches, shops. I come back because of the family atmosphere and the improving service. It also has a calm and peaceful atmosphere. Although the smoking situation has improved, I have picked up on occasional infractions on the floor. The popularity of this hostel also attracts guests who are clueless when it comes to consideration for other guests. We have endured slamming doors and loud conversations especially over late weekend hour and would recommend some guidelines for guests to adhere. All in all satisfied and would recommend the refurbished rooms highly. More work needed to rest of rooms due to high usage.

Very good and ideally located. Staff at the reception were very friendly and helpful.

Great location and good value for money. The rooms are looking a little tired and it was a shame that one of the lifts wasn't working. Reception staff were very friendly and helpful.

One think I missed at the breakfast buffet. this year, there wasn't any asian food like I had last year especially the Congee with salted eggs and spring onions. I have no idea why the have changed to continental buffet. All other things were ok.

Great location, relaxed, no hassle. Not luxurious - rooms not large and have two beds. The included breakfast buffet was great and the availablity of food is useful although I only used it one. The pool was nice too.

Should be at least one spot area for smoking. Like rooftop of the hotel. I think it's no harm if they make one small area as a smoking area. It's an open air anyway.

Adequate facilities for a vacation family. Convenient location, not too far from Dhoby Ghaut MRT - but should have a better map for first time visitors alighting from the MRT. Thankfully the locals were helpful in pointing out the way..

Location both Orchard road and can walk to Bugis street too quiet and clean hotel.

We had a very nice and enjoyable stay and will be booking again soon. I checked other reviews before booking and was surprised at some of the negative comments. The staff was quite friendly and helpful, check-in no hassle and fast, the room very clean and comfortable and quiet. I saw some complaints from others about small TV, but I can watch TV at home, not in Singapore with Orchard road right outside the door. Very good value for the money. Keep up the good work.

Convenient location. Family friendly. No-frill. Good value.

Really great location right in the city. The room is clean and and the staff are friendly! A bit noisy as there are construction going on around the area and in the building. Otherwise, its good value for money.

The hotel is good. Good food, good service. They provide value for money. I will definitely stay at YMCA next time I visit Singapore.

We were very pleased with the YMCA Hotel 1 Orchard Road. It is conveniently situated. Staff very helpful. We would be happy to stay at the Hotel again.

Overall ok.

I had a fall whilst visiting a colleague's office, and when I returned to the YMCA Hotel, their staff noticed that I was in considerable pain and organised to take me to Raffles Hospital for attention and treatment. The hotel duty manager accompanied me to the hospital by taxi and ensured that I was well cared for and then organised our return to the hotel. This was service above and beyond what I could have hoped for and I highly commend the staff at YMCA @ One Orchard.

Hotel good, but small problem no halal food.

An excellent medium-priced hotel in the heart of Singapore. We stayed there as a team of 9 people from Australia for an overnight stopover en-route to India. Nice and clean and comfortable. Restaurant is excellent with delightful complimentary breakfast.

Good location, good value for money and good service. Rooms are quite cramp.

The hotel is good.

The hostel is well-maintained and the free breakfast offered was value for money (we do not have to go out on an empty stomach). The registration and cleaning staff was efficient and friendly. For people who can do without the bellboy services/bathtub/remote control for the TV, this will do. It is not walking distance from the orchard strip of malls but the bus and the MRT thats near the hostel makes you mobile enough to get you around Singapore -- great for backpackers.

We were really VERY surprised about everything at YMCA. We expect something like a hostel, but found it more than a 3 star hotel. Everything was absolutely wonderful - from reception to the room to the restaurant with a very wide variety and excellent choices for a nice big buffet breakfast. YMCA even have free luggage storage and shower facilities for their guests who have booked out from their room and have to catch a late night flight back home. All the staff members were really very friendly and helpful. The YMCA is situated very central for travelling by bus/metro to any place/tourist attraction in Singapore. This is really a diamond in Singapore if you compare the room price to other hotels in Singapore (cheap accommodation is very difficult to find because Singapore is quite expensive for the average tourist)- therefore we will recommend this place to anybody who visits Singapore - you will not go wrong and will be satisfied with all the things that YMCA offers. Thumbs up for this hotel!

I booked a superior twin room. The room was small but sufficient for our needs. The best thing was the free wifi in the room as I had my laptop with me.

Good location.

Most of the staff are friendly.

I found the hotel a pleasant surprise. It was clean and comfortable. Only drawback was no larger beds, but a twin worked fine and it was clean and comfortable. Shower bathroom and desk were all quite adequate. Not a large room, but again, adequate. Not much in the fancy category, if you want a spa experience this is not the place, but for clean comfortable, surroundings, with OK food and Internet, I do not think anyone could ask for more.

Generally very good, the television is a bit too small though. The service is nice. I really enjoyed it.

I will strongly recommendded to my friends and colledges. The service from receptionist was excellent.

Good.

This was our sixth stay at the YMCA and once again we were very pleased with the accomodation, rooms were very clean. Cannot fault the staff, all so helpful and friendly. Breakfast was good value for money. Transport was nearby so had no problem with sightseeing. We would recommend this hotel.
