We stayed here for two days and it was worth every penny we payed for. the location was great and very convenient, especially for first timers in Singapore because it is really close to Dhoby Ghaut station and a bus stop, and taxi terminal too. Most of their staffs are accommodating and the lobby, hallways, and rooms are always clean,... More

Location-wise, I know that it's along Orchard Road but it is still quite a long walk to the malls. However, it's just a stone's throw away from the MRT, which means you can go anywhere in Singapore. The place has nearby stores and restaurants which was convenient when you get late night cravings. YMCA has a newly renovated building. Unfortunately,... More

If you plan to take the MRT to this hotel, you will need to take the East West Line (Green Line) and transfer to the North South Line (Red Line) at City Hall and stop at the Dhoby Ghaut MRT station. The exit closest to the YMCA is exit A Stamford/Bras Basah Road. I have stayed at the YMCA a... More

We've just spent a few days here over the Christmas holidays. We stayed in superior twin bed rooms which were fine. The rooms were an okay size, very clean and had all the basics (free wifi, cable tv, fluffy towels etc). Breakfast was a bit grim for such a foodie country, but there's an excellent Kopitiam just over the road.... More

YMCA International House does not make claims of luxury even at its minimum. Guests are not promised anything beyond clean rooms, decent breakfast and ever-attentive personnel. Not a bad deal if you consider the very safe environs. Now some people would expect the rates to be YMCA-like. But do consider their location and you will realize why a night's stay... More

Although the YMCA is located at the end of Orchard Road, it is some distance from the main shopping centres. Regardless, it is a nice pleasant walk at night, although it is really hot and humid in the afternoon. For those whom detest walking, it is possible to take the MRT from Dhobi Gaut (a 5 min walk) to Ion... More

Looking for a place suitable for a couple and their 7 month old without wanting to blow the budget was quite difficult. Then I stumbled across the YMCA. I have never previously contemplated staying at a YMCA. But given I could get into a Junior Suite for around S$200 per night (plus tax) it seemed like a good option. We... More

They should change the nighttime receptionists with more cheerful and accomodating personnel. Food was great and restaurant staff were polite and efficient. The room was clean, but amenities like razor and slippers will be a welcome improvement. Also, the wifi / internet speed should be upgraded. More
