As a 21 year old solo female traveller, I was so relieved to get to Singapore and see what the Metropolitan YMCA was like as I was a little worried! I had booked it in advanced and was a bit unsure of the condition and location of of the place. But, everything was great. The staff were all very friendly... more

I lived for two weeks while getting settled into my new life at Singapore at YMCA the Metro. The room tarrif included a buffet breakfast - which may I add was great! This YMCA unlike the other one in Singapore is not located in the heart of the city but fifteen minutes away which I found pleasant as it was... more

We wanted a simple and affordable place to stay on a stopover on our way to Europe. We knew we wouldn't be spending a lot of time in our room (as we arrived in the evening, had tours booked the next morning then headed to the airport in the afternoon)so we didn't want to spend a fortune just for a... more

We booked this because it seemed to be the least expensive hotel in Singapore with a reasonable review on this site. It was fine. Not very central, but a shortish bus ride (or a long walk) from Orchard station on the metro, if you're trying to save money. The room was fine, clean, with kettle and tea bags. The breakfast... more

Positive points: The room rate - we paid SGD160 for one night The availability - it was about the only hotel available in Singapore at relatively short notice (unless we were prepared to pay... more

I recently stayed at the Metropolitan YMCA and I have to say, that I cannot have been happier! I arrived at 3am with my daughter and was able to check in, with no problems. The room was a twin, with a TV, Fridge and everything that we needed to settle in. I travelled to HK for a week and came... more

My criteria for judging hotels are simple: cleanliness, courtesy, efficiency, availability of hot water showers and baths, clean sheets, brewed coffee for me and fresh fruits for my daughter, and security. I seriously do not understand why some people would totally diss the place. My daughter and I had an okay time at the Metro Y in the week we... more

This is a rather belated review as I stayed here Aug '04. The room was basic but large, clean and very cheap which was what I wanted seeing I wouldn't be spending much time there. The breakfast was horrible, but maybe thats just because I'm not used to eating noodles and chicken sausages (!?) first thing in the morning! Location... more
