Ideal property for both business and tourist travellers ”

I used to be a regular guest at the York hotel for many years about 10 years ago so I decided to go back there for this trip and was not disappointed. The room allocated was large, well appointed, clean and functional. As I am now a spritely 76 yea old senior I usually like to stay in a hotel that has a walk in shower rather then the usual shower over the bath as climbing in and out over rather high bath walls can be potentially dangerous for me. Unforutnatley the York still has the shower over bath facility, BUT I was very pleased that they have installed hand rails both in the bath, on the walls inside the bath and shower area and on the outside wall to help seniors like me who suffer from knee issues (old football injuries) to get in and out of the shower more safely. The location of the hotel is excellent, particularly as it's walking distance to the famous Orchard Road shopping area.and the MRT so travelling around Singapore by train is now an excllent and cheap way of travelling around the city for pleasure or business. For me with my bad knees negotiating the hills leading up to the hotel from Scotts Road and along Mt, Elizabteh Road leading up fromOrchard Road did create some discomfort and may affect the more elderly guests. I did find that it took a rather long tiem to check out as the frint desk only had two staff on duty at the midday checkout time and they we also doing check-ins at the same time. I think the hotel needs to address this aspect. Nevertheless as an overall rewiew, The York is an excellent property in almost every aspect and I will certainly reurn there on a future occassion. Toroughly recommended. - Graeme Moore - Thailand

Great Christmas Experience”

The first time I book the room at York Hotel, I already have a good feeling about this hotel. Not just because of the strategic location near the Orchard shopping centre,where on the christmas eve, it's very convenient to go out and go back to the hotel, also the coziness of the room and quite environment. When we arrive, it is beyond what I expected before. This hotel is a perfect hotel, especially for family, the family tower suite room is such a wonderful room, very lovely, , very clean, all the amenities are completely there, and also the view is excellent. Don't question about the friendliness of the staff, they really helpful, like the first night I stayed there, the floor above me made such a loud noise at midnight, I complained to the front desk and in just a few minutes, no more noises, a very quick respond by the staff. I will stay at this hotel the next time I go to Singapore again, four thumbs up for York Hotel!

Spacious, comfortable rooms, accommodating staff”

We came as a family of 5 for a short vacation. We booked a superior room but were surprisingly upgraded into Premier rooms, which was really nice. So this review is based on our stay at the Premier rooms. The rooms were spacious, well maintained (carpet and beds were neatly groomed and smelled clean) with interiors tastefully done. The look of the rooms make you feel happy you are staying at York Hotel. The rooms look so comfortable that you are tempted to just stay in all day. The Premier room also had a walk in closet and a spacious bathroom that had 2 sets of sink and toilet (his and hers). The staff were friendly and nice and could speak fairly good english. The only thing that was lacking was the free internet access. You have to purchase a prepaid internet card for about SGD 8 for 2 hours of internet access. Other than that, our stay at York Hotel was very much enjoyable. Location wise, York Hotel is very close to Orchard Road, which is an extra point still.

Location, location, location”

The primary reason we chose this hotel was for its location and price. At its price, the location can't be beat. Its about a 5 minute downhill walk to Orchard (nearest mall is the Paragon). The hotel is located on a street with a bit of an incline, so walking back uphill to the hotel can be a slight challenge if you've spent the last 4 hours walking around Orchard road and its malls. I was travelling with my 60+ mother, so we stopped a bit when walking back. We booked via Agoda and I didn't have any problem checking in. I just showed the confirmation and the reception had no problem looking for my booking. Only concern was that I had to wait a few hours for a non-smoking room with two single beds. I arrived at the hotel about 11am and they told me that the room would be ready by about 130pm. No problem, I just left my bag at the concierge and went strolling along Orchard. Well, stroll around Orchard I did and I made it back by 5pm. Stayed for 3days/2nights. Hotel is typical 3-4 star, with a big room and good enough beddings/pillows. The room was cleaned up nicely during our 2nd day. My only minor disappointment was that the cable tv had very few channels. We usually came back to the hotel from shopping at around 10pm anyway so I really didnt need to watch TV that much. I didn't have any complaints to the staff, as I found nothing to complain about. York hotel is a great place to stay if you want to be within Orchard at an affordable price.

Great Hotel in Singapore!”

We’ve decided to book a hotel last minute for our graduation staycation and York hotel turn out to be a pleasant surprise for us. We looked around and found that York had a family/premier room for four and we decided to go with it since there were 5 of us. The beds were combined single beds so it was actually more than adequate with the super spacious rooms. In addition to these, it had a perfect location within just walking distance to orchard, the bus stop and train station. This was totally worth it for the amount that we had to pay. The rooms were clean and spotless. They provided us with conditioning shampoo, shower foam and towels etc which were clean. The shower was good with sufficient space and all. We asked for a bottle opener and the staff came promptly to us. In summary, there’s nothing to complain but I will also expect all hotels in Singapore to have the same standard.

Over expected”

At first I requested 3 single beds but received 1 twin and 1 extra bed. However they soon arranged other room fitted my command. The place was real quiet, security assured, good for relaxation after a long going and shopping day. Room was not very spacious but good enough for my family (03 adults, 02 children). It is hard to find a room for family with children (11 & 5) in Singapore but close to shopping center, MRT, and good budget like York hotel. Just walked downhill to reach Orchard road, easily for shopping and finding something to for your stomach. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Check-in and out procedure was fast so we did not have to wait for long. You may think this is an old hotel from its look but is different inside, quite new. I could watch sunrise from my window view. Next time I will visit York hotel again for sure with my family for summer vacation in Singapore.

Good quality and clean, but quite a walk”

The hotel is clean and the rooms are spacious. For the price being offered (and the location of the hotel), the York Hotel is definitely a good value. It is a great location for those coming to Singapore for the medical services in Mt. Elizabeth Hospital. However, the walk up to the hotel from the main road (Orchard Rd) towards the hotel can be quite tiring as it is an uphill walk. Other than that, this hotel is definitely a good choice for tourists visiting Singapore and is looking to shop in Orchard!

Wonderful getaway ”

It was a fantastic stay since it's been a while that I was back to Singapore. The hotel is so close to Orchard shopping heaven. My wife can just walk down the hill to Far East Plaza for her usual place for facial treatment and after that we can wander around hours to those shopping centers such as: Ion, Taka, Paragon and end up watching a movie at Cathay Cineleisures. I arrived early so the staff mentioned to me that the room is not ready, and he can assign another room for me to rest first before my room is available. It was really great to have a hotel staff that understand your need since I woke up for early flights. Would love to spend our time with York hotel again when I'm in Singapore. Thanks Agoda for such deals.

Excellent hotel in a great location”

Visiting Singapore for the first time in several years and found York Hotel well located for all our needs. It's between 13 and 17 minutes walk from Orchard and Somerset MRT respectively. The hotel restaurant serves excellent local food with the option of food courts in shopping centres on Orchard Road or a 17 min walk to Newton Food Centre of Scotts Road. Taxis are easy to come by and a number of buses along Orchard Road. The room itself is clean and well maintained with staff polite and attentive. Facilities are good with everything a traveler needs. Cupboard could do with a few more coat hangers but this was quickly resolved by the staff. We liked it so much we booked a few more nights and will return to stay on our next visit.

Great and Memorable stay at York Hotel-Singapore”

Our stay in Singapore was made more especial during to our more than comfortable and very pleasant stay at York Hotel. We stayed for 11 days and at times were feeling a little home-sick but staying at York was like being at home-away-from-home and so our bouts of loneliness were bearable. The hotel boosts of prestige and class and it was evidenced by the high standard of prompt and generally courteous services we got. The hotel premises esp the lobby and dinnig area are grand, classy and posh. Starting from the concierge to the reception personnel to the house-keeping staff and the food personnel at the restaurant were pleasantly accommodating, courteous and ready to answer our queries.The rooms are clean and pleasant to stay in. The bathrooms are promptly cleaned by the staff and staff were always friendly as you meet them around the hotel. The breakfast buffet was a grand experience with its wide and varied food choices and selection. Over- all, we certainly enjoyed our stay at York Hotel and we look forward to our next trip to Singapore knowing York Hotel will provide us with a grand accommodation.

Great Location & beautiful room”

me & my girlfriends were having a gilr's trip to singapore for 3 nights, so we took the premier room for 4 adults. this is my first time staying at york hotel. the location is great, next to goodwood hotel & far east plaza. if you walk a bit through the mt. elizabeth road, then you end up between paragon & lucky plaza. the lobby was just okay, but the room is huge, newly renovated, the bed is very comfortable (i'm very sensitive when it comes to bed, the linens, pillow etc) and the bathroom is spacious. the conciege was very helpfull & very friendly, but the laundry service & housekeeping will knock on your door at 7am so better put on the privacy sign... thiis is the best hotel for price, location & comfort in orchard area & definitely will be back again soon!!!

Hawkers Night at York”

York Hotel is ideally located near the Orchard Road, the main shopping area of Singapore. The rooms are well appointed and quite clean. We thoroughly enjoyed the dinner because the hotel featured the "Hawkers Night." They featured the most popular dishes of Singapore. Its quite interesting to see the fusion of different foods, chinese, indian, malay, thai, and indonesian cuisine, blended to suit the taste of modern day Singapore. We will stay in York hotel on our next visit next month.

more than what we expected”

we went there during the singapore f1 grand prix, so the city was jammed with tourists and rates are really sky high. agoda.com gave a good discount with york hotel and for a 3-4 star hotel, the room is really clean, bigger than what we expected and the food is not the bad either. cabs love going to the york hotel area (orchard road-mount elizabeth area) coz its not smacked in the busy streets of marina bay where the grand prix is at, so transportation is not a problem. plus the area is really quiet so you can really have time to relax and take a breather after a long day of shopping and/or night out.

Great location with nice and spacious bed room.”

york hotel in singapore has a great location with a short walk to singapore main shopping center, orchard road.it is also near to mount elizabeth hospital. i stayed at york hotel four nights for a business purpose in singapore. the bed room was spacious for two, clean, comfortable and well equiped. service was great and its staffs were helpful. i will choose york hotel if i go back to singapore.

It was nice”

We got into the hotel room at about 12 sumthing midnight.. i think, we were in the room for about 15 minutes and we received a call from the reception. He said that someone insisted to have the room i am in.. coz it was fully booked, and the hotel is near to the hospital... so, dey offered me n hubby another hotel which is about 5 minutes my car from York hotel..Sheraton Towers.. We were happy that they are being responsible to upgrade our room to a better place and the best part is, the room in Sheraton is WITH breakfast and there's shuttle bus from the hotel to Orchard road :) thank u so much York Hotel for being really nice to us, since im pregnant 7mnts and i can barely walk from York to Orchard.. York hotel is nice n clean.. i love it.. i would love to come again to york next time when im not preggy ;)

Good location and close to Orchard”

York hotel is situated close to Mount Elizabeth Hospital and is 6 to 10 min walk to Orchard. Hotel is very close to Lucky Plaza a ideal place to shop for bargins, Paragon Orchard for luxury items and Ion Orchard for food. The hotel is also close to Scotts road for more shopping at Duty Free Shop (DFS) and Shaw Centre containing Isetan and Movie Theatre. Hotel is not situated on Orchard but provides a ideal location for visiting Orchard and Scotts and close to MRT stations. I would recommend this hotel to those willing to pay reasonable prices without staying on Orchard or Scotts Road with all the hussle and bussle in Singapore.

Accidental Stay”

Our family of six long planned to spend 3D2N at Mandarin Orchard. Upon arrival there, we were told the government has instructed the hotel to cease accepting new guests, no reasons were forthcoming. Of course we were flabbergasted, nothing like this has happened in our holidays before. We were in no mood to head home, so we did a frantic search to find nearby accommodation and ended up at York Hotel. The 4-star hotel was comfortable and convenient enough for Orchard road diehards. It was later in the evening news that we learned Mandarin Orchard has unknown COVID-19 issues pending the health ministry's scrutiny. By then, the rate at York Hotel has skyrocketed and soon all vacancies were snapped up. I guess the surrounding hotels benefited from Orchard Mandarin's missteps. My take on York Hotel is positive, you pay what the place is worth for.

Perfect Location .”

This was my first visit to Singapore for 30 years although my son had been here several times recently . The York Hotel is siutated only ten minutes walk from Orchard Street and thus the major shopping centre is easily accessible on foot . The hotel seems permanently busy with many tour company guests constantly arriving and leaving . This wasn't a problem as there was no queue for check in nor check out and everything was dealt with efficiently and speedily . The rooms are spacious and comfortable, rather limited programmes from the flat screen tv which was surprising and I'm always disappointed when one has to pay extra for internet connection . We had one lunch in the restaurant which was good, breakfast was okay but nothing special . The staff were charming and helpful and informative also . We didn't use the small pool area, it seemed perfectly okay with a few tables scattered around . The York Hotel proved a good choice of venues, reasonably mid priced and well situated, I would definitely return again .

York Hotel in Singapore”

The York Hotel in Singapore was a great place to stay. We were only a five to ten minute walk to all the shopping and dinning places of the Orchard district. The staff at the York Hotel were very helpful with directions and suggestions on places to go and see. the train is only a ten minute walk away so getting to the zoo was a snap. We had a large corner room which was clean and beautiful. When we visit Singapore we will stay here again.

Exceptional”

I stayed at York Hotel Premier family room from 31st December 2020 until 2nd January 2021. The counter staffs, namely Yanna and Margia Law are exceptionally helpful, welcoming, warm and friendly people. The room is very spacious, nicely furnished and very clean. Excellent room for small children as they have a lot of room to run around and play. Paragon, Mount Elizabeth medical centre, Far East Plaza and practically everything in Orchard Road are just a stone throw away from the hotel. My family definitely had a lot of fun during our stay there eventhough the weather are not in our favour. Will staycaytion here again, definitely. Going to try the Cabanas next. Thank you for the hospitality York Hotel.
