Hotels Near The Waterside in Singapore

I spend almost 5 days in this hotel, for you guys who looking for budget hotel this one is. The room is clean overall ok, but this hotel is in the red district area, for me it’s not a big deal. All good 😊 👍🏻

I wish we had a refrigerator in our room since we have a baby with us. Was needed for her food. However, 5-stars to Aida who was compassionate enough to allow us early check-in when she saw my baby was sleeping when we arrived the hotel. Overall, all the hotel staff were warm and helpful.

As this is Singapore and accommodation is expensive, this room was exactly what we wanted. It had a window to let in some natural light and the bed was comfortable. There are no facilities at this hotel, hence the 3 rating and no services except booking in and out - both which were done speedily and politely. This is a room for sleeping and nothing else. The hotel is conveniently situated near the metro and bus station so travel to other parts of Singapore was easy. The bathroom is really tiny and that was a little problematic for my husband, who is a large person.

Stayed here the night due to our layover flight. Very nice hotel for this occasion to get rest. Mini store and petrol station right there. Easy to order a Grab to deliver food. The hotel has buildings being constructed at the rear and side of it. The view at night from the rooftop is stunning. Our room had 2 very small balconies, and the doors were locked. The early morning shower was below Luke warm. 🙂

i booked an urban suite to celebrate my fiancé's birthday, and we absolutely enjoyed ourselves to the max. the hotel system was down when we were checking in, but our front desk staff, Rosy, explained the situation to us, gave us a beverages voucher to enjoy a drink each while we waited for our key cards at the lounge, and even personally came over to hand us the cards once the room was ready. shortly after we checked in, a staff member from the collection club lounge dropped by the room and gave my fiancé a mini cake, a box of chocolates, and a birthday card. we went to the collection club lounge for evening cocktails and were surprised with a bread pudding platter with a lighted candle to celebrate my fiancé's birthday and managed to catch the ndp rehearsal's fireworks show. overall, the interactions we had with the staff members were exceptional, and we felt very welcomed and taken care of, everywhere we went. the urban suite room was very clean and spacious, and we had a wonderful view of the cbd area. having stayed in many hotels in singapore, this is by far the best room and experience ive had.

Cons: - The whole hotel is undergoing renovation with hoardings/ tarpaulins around, had to walk over to another block via a transfer floor (also under renovation) and change lifts - Main pool and gym seems not accessible due to renovation works - Check-in took quite long to queue, even with all 4 counters in service, still by traditional pen-paper handling with requirement of deposit. Also noted some mass group room booking/ check-in probably by tours/ agents which largely took up reception’s capacity - Sound insulation is quite a problem. There was no seal under room entrance door (could see corridor light seeping through the bottom gap), and under separation door with adjacent room, could hear from neighbours quite clearly - Middle floor’s view of our room is limited to the podium pool (undergoing works), opposite hotel black and back lane of Funan mall. Reckon higher floors would have much better views - Windows of room are quite dirty from outside which affected the view. Single-glazing only, could hear city noises from time to time Pros: - Very convenient location at city centre right next to big Funan mall with direct connection to MRT and loads of food choice; right opposite to old fire station, Fort Canning Park, cathedral, etc; walkable to most city centre spots - Considerably spacious room in heart of city, which was recently refurnished with simple and modern touch - Clean interior, but with some touch-up on damaged toilet wall tiles. Some tiles seems to be replaced but with slight color variance with the remaining ones - Hot water with more than enough water pressure - Comfy beds and linens

I love how the hotel building is integrated with greeneries. Upon checking in, initially they gave us a wrong room. Called the concierge and they were able to send someone up with the new keys to the room! Shortly after checking in, the concierge called us to check in on us if everything is perfect, they also wished me on my anniversary and sent up a written card, a slice of cake and a box of chocolate! A few hours later we also called for extra pillows and toiletries, they were able to send it up quickly. The next morning we had buffet breakfast downstairs at the Lime restaurant. The spread was wide and we were spoilt for choices. Overall we had a really comfortable stay and the service is top notch! Everything is so well thought out. So if you’re thinking to book this hotel, think no more, just do it. You will not be disappointed :D 100/10 will come back again!

The location is good, I think this hotel is mainly for travellers who just want to find a place to stay but mainly spends most of the time outdoors. My main complaint is the aircon, even after you turn off the aircon the wind is still flowing. The reception said the aircon is centralised, so I requested for extra thick blankets but even so it’s still very cold. I don’t mind the small room size, it comes with standard toothbrush/toothpaste, soap (assuming 2in one), hairdryer.

I've stayed at this hotel a few times, and its great location, friendly staff, relaxing pool, and lively atmosphere keep me coming back. I recently stayed here for some biz events and was impressed with how YOTEL caters to its guests' needs. They've upgraded the in-room furniture with a functional work desk and proper chair, refreshed the mattresses for a comfortable sleep, and improved the toothbrushes. Thank you, YOTEL.

I booked a 2-bedroom suite to celebrate my mum's and helper's birthdays. The front desk staff (mainly Azhar) was kind enough to arrange 2 boxes of cakes and a birthday card to surprise my family. Even though the room isn't specifically meant to be wheelchair/handicap friendly, it was still spacious and easy enough for my mother to maneuver. If there is one improvement that needs to be made, i would suggest installing bidets in the bathrooms.
