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

The hotel web site offers many amenities which when you arrive you find they are not available to guests, The pool is used all day long for lessons and etc you can only swim after 7pm when it is getting dark and sometimes at lunch time. We objected and were given then use of the other pool which is for... more

We had a one night stopover in Singapore, and stayed at this hotel. We are a family (two adults, two small children aged 4 and 2). 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

Here is a summary of my experience Bad ------- 1) Room looks very worn out. Maintenance is non existent. 2) Hotel staff with the exception for a few are plain rude. They go to the extent of harassing guests. 3) Internet reservation is pathetic. Good -------- 1) There were some really polite staff who made the stay bearable. Overall i... more

Do not use the on-line reservation system Metropolitan YMCA Singapore has on their web site. I recently made a reservation on-line using their web site, and within 48 hours of making the reservation, canceled it. They charged my credit card, and when I inquired about the charged, they claimed they never got the cancellation. Even when I forwarded them proof... more
