YMCA of Singapore Review

The location of the hostel is very very good. But unfortunately everything else is really bad. The pictures in Google look really good but in reality the room are not cozy. The bathroom has not even a plug socket. Moreover you can hear the neighbor room when they're talking with normal voice volume. That's totally not good if you want to sleep. Also the entrance door of the room has a gap so light can come in when you actually want it dark inside to sleep. The breakfast is also really bad. So in total a really bad hostel. Stay outside of this hostel and you will definitely have a better time in Singapore.

Nice hotel , rooms are small but OK. Breakfast, staff was very gentle, Above all location is great

We stayed at one of its newly renovated rooms. It's clean and, surprisingly for a small budget room, it's roomy. My husband and I could walk around comfortably. I've observed that whoever designed the room thought smartly. For instance it didn't have side tables. But it had carved out squares in the wall at each bedside so these saved floor space and at the same time were very functional. I put my paperback, eyeglasses and phone in the cutout before sleeping. Universal electric outlets and light switches are also at a hand's reach from each bedside. The bathroom door is positioned diagonally so once again more room is permitted for even two people in the bathroom. It makes me think why Japan's budget hotels haven't thought of a similar room design before.
YMCA's breakfast is basic. It served pork and vegetable buns, chicken sausages, pork and beans, eggs, cereals, salads, fruits and desserts.

Rooms small. air condition never worked, Terrible food, Conferences and functions takeover hotel. Construction work runs 24 hr a day.
Would never stay their again

Clean, convenient location, the staff at the counter is very enthusiastic, the breakfast is very rich, although some foods are not used to eating, it is generally very good~

Sometimes, family ends up here. There s a restaurant upstairs, have a curry fish head, and some coffee before walking over to shop at Plaza Sing.

Average Hotel. Nothing special here, has the usual amenities. However I have never felt so unwelcome and unwanted in a hotel. Staff were incredibly hostile towards our group of 6 university students. While using the member/guest lounge we felt that the hotel staff didn't want us there but had no grounds to kick us out. They constantly checked on us, and reminded us of all the things we weren't allowed to do in the lounge, yet we hadn't done anything prohibited in the lounge.

Asking staff for a extension cord so we could charge our laptops seemed to be a huge issue and something that was a pain to accommodate. I usually expect to pay for a hotel and receive access to all the amenities regardless of age, status or appearance. Not once were we rude, rowdy or obnoxious in the lounge space or hotel grounds, yet we were met only with subtle hostility.

Do not recommend to stay here unless you wish to feel unwelcome. Clearly the hotel see's the business people and YMCA members as the priority over paying hotel guests.

Insects spring, rice is bad, shower is dirty
Good transportation

They won t let any visitors in after 2230 that s really disappointing

2 stars for the location of the place which is very good, otherwise bad breakfast the rooms are extremely small moldy in the bathroom as well as the wobbly sink, I am very disappointed with this place I do not recommend except for the 'location which and great because it is next to everything but it stays there.

Yes. Rooms are very small but have everything you need: bed, refrigerator, free water, shower and Daily Rom Service.Good Breakfast, 5 Minutes Walker to Tube only.

Affordable lodging, decent cafe, competitive function room rates - all in the heart of Singapore's main shopping belt.

Like any other hotel. Rooms quite small but I think it s okay. Cozy Cafe and lobby. Big auditorium. Service is quite average though. The beds are very hard. I feel like this hotel needs some renovating, but the rest are okay for me.

Very small carpark and limited space here. I think it needs maintenance.

Room were a bit disappionting .. need some new paint.. bathroom clean, breakfast offer limited choices... staff helpful, located 5 min walk to subway...

3 nights from 26 to 29/01/16
Staff available and very helpful
Clean room - Super breakfast
Excellent value for money
Hotel very well located geographically between Chinatown and Little India
I highly recommend this hostel

Nice rooms here. Booked for a Friend and was surprised with their price against the competition

Our Room on the 5th floor was spacious for 3 adults-one Queen bed and one single/twin bed. Ensuite bathroom was spacious but not much hooks to hang items on. The check-in clerk at night claimed that my reservation was cancelled when I didn't cancel it. Nevertheless, he gave us a room per my reservations. It's walking distance to MTR Dhoby Ghaut and the kopi tiams near Rendezvous Hotel. This is the 2nd time I stayed at YMCA when in Singapore. Breakfast Buffet has improved considerably when I was last there. I missed the McDonald that was on the first floor though, vendo machines just don't hack it for night-time dining. For price and location, I highly recommend YMCA-One Orchard to Singapore travelers.

Its crampy since the bed was too small,and the receptionists are not friendly,otherwise the breakfast tastes awesome.

Absolutely fantastic location, close to everything and especially right at the metro station 3 lines. The room is missing tea, soap, breakfast is also gone very quickly (without refilling). Otherwise, the stress pool with a view of all sides and personal deserves 5 *. Small minus but for the incredible stink in the hallways and room furnishings. Overall, the hotel behind the zenith would need a reconstruction. But again for the price .. ;-)

I want to try on the first week of October. ..hope everything is perfect as I expected

Visited the cafe at level 4. Nice and cosy. Carpark is usually full. Better to park opposite at the National Museum.

3 nights in January 2017, clean room, comfortable bed, nice bathroom, fridge, bottled water and daily toiletries

Both shower and toilet can be used normally and stay cheap, and cospa is satisfactory. The hotel was also kind.
