"As Singapore hotels go, this is a reasonably priced accommodation in Orchard Road. It’s close to shopping centres, bars, the Orchard MRT station, and a bus stop where you can pick up No. 36, which runs to all the four airport terminals. The hotel staff were very helpful in every way. There’s also a good WiFi. As with all Yotel rooms, ours was compact but came complete with a mini fridge and tea/coffee, right down to a safe and even an ironing board. We had a premium room with a view — through the bathroom! We felt slightly conscious of being seen from across the building while in the toilet or shower although we were on the 25th floor, higher than any of the surrounding buildings. There are blinds for privacy or blocking the morning sunlight. As the hotel is quite new, it was spankingly clean. The lightings make you feel like being in a futuristic film like The Fifth Element! All in all a very good experience, although bigger sized people may feel a bit claustrophobic. "

"The hotel is located at an ideal spot (only 5-10 mins walk from Orchard Road). Orchard Road is a great place to shop with lots of variety. Plus the other advantage that we had was that there are a lot of options for restaurants and eating places on orchard road, hence the location was just amazing. Another thing is that as the hotel is not on Orchard Road one is saved from the noisy traffic. Five minutes walk away its located at a very peaceful spot, with no disturbance whatsoever. Easy availability of Taxi service from Orchard Road as well. Used room service twice, once for a three pin plug and once for some amenities. It was super quick. Apart from this we didn't use the hotel service much. We didn't even have any meals included in the hotel package, so can't comment about it. Left the hotel early and came back late. The rooms were a bit small but no complaints. They were very clean and very comfortable. I do have one complaint. The hotel bumped us up to a slightly more expensive room, as they said that they don't have the one that we booked. And this wasn't free of charge. I had to pay for the room."

"For serious shoppers,Meritus Mandarin offer the best location with all the best shopping centers in Singapore very near to it.The best shopping for Singapore is still in Orchard Road.Don't bother with Marina or Vivo City. Even though part of the hotel is undergoing renovation for a new shopping center,you hardly notice it. Staff service level are excellent.We ask for extra pillows at 2.00am and they sent it to our room with a smile. But as with all hotels in Orchard Road,the hotel is quite old.If you want a new flashy designer style hotel,this hotel is not for you.If you don't mind an old hotel but with excellent services from its staff and in a good location,this hotel should be in your list.

"We stayed for 3 nights here. The location is very nice. Its 5mins walk from Dhoby Ghaut MRT station near Plaza Singapora. It has 7-11 shops available near by so u can get your break fast/snack anytime while on your way out or back to hotel. It has a neat swimming pool on roof top accessible by lift 1 only with an outstanding view of the vicinity. Recommend a panoramic photo from there. Hotel has two entrances, the other one opens towards the main Orchard Road, where you can find a number of malls like Orchard Point, Orchard Central, Ngee Ann city center, 313 Somerset, Apple Store. This road has multiple bus stops. Get yourself a 3-days Singapore Tourist Pass for unlimited trips to MRT & Public busses. Both have a/c so thats a relieve in 35C temp during the day. The hotel has a Tour Desk where as i suggest using Klook app to book at activities ranging from Universal Studio, Sentosa fun pass, Zoo, Night Safari, Gardens by the bay, bird sanctuary etc. This way you will not need to stand in ticket lines. Just book and show the online receipt to the gate keepers who will let you in :) do visit asian museum on Raffles stop, Fullerton road for Merlion. Good quality shopping is available at Bugis Junction (Bugis stop via MRT and exit towards Bugis Junction). Do not goto Little India, its very dirty and a mall there with the name of Al Mustafa Center (although cheap) but has terrible / poor quality products. You will be disappointed. Visit East Coast bay near Marina bays for a quite beach spot. Good for camping. On your way out to Airport, book a taxi via Grab Ap and it will cost you a max of $17 SGD till terminal 4 airport. Upon arrival, get a $15 SGD sim from Klook app It will give you 100GB worth 4G internet And free calls to last you easily 8-10 days even. Pick up point at Cheers store on level 2. Use mini bus to reach your hotel. It will cost you $SGD 9 per person with a travel time of 25-30mins. Booking stand is location at last level. They charge credit card and d"

According to the receptionist from lobby, this hotel had just done renovation and that’s why the interior so clean and new.
