Yotel Singapore Orchard Road

 Quirky hotel in a sought after location

An interesting addition to the hotel scene in Singapore. The hotel is compact and is marketing itself to a younger demographic with the computer self checkin, room service robots and cocktail lounge.

 

Price

It's the medium price range for a hotel in Singapore, I stayed in the hotel a few months after it opened and therefore it was a budget option. Now you're paying for the location.

Entrance to the hotel 

Location

The hotel is set back from Orchard Road, with a pedestrian laneway to walk down to exit on Orchard Road. The road entrance if arriving by taxi is through a side street. It's a 5 minute walk to the Orchard MRT station, there's quite a few options of cafes, coffee shops and places to shop.

Facilities

The rooms are very compact, the bed takes up most of the room. It was a tight fit with luggage and I was constantly stepping over my suitcase. It's OK for a one night stopover but would get quite annoying for a longer stay.

The bed has controls that make the mattress go up and down.

The bathroom sink is in the room.

The bathroom has a large window with a view of the city. There are privacy binds you can use when in the bathroom.

Optional Extras

There is a restaurant that overlooks the pool and a small garden. Breakfast is served in the restaurant buffet style, meals and drinks are served into the evening. There is room service, it's 2 cute purple robots called Yoshi and Yolanda.

Summary

For anyone on a short stay over in Singapore looking for something different in a hotel, this would be the place for you. Small room but with a very comfortable bed, the picture window in the bathroom makes for an interesting experience. Nice view of Fort Canning park. Very convenient to the Orchard Road shopping area.
