I wasn't too impressed with the York...
I wasn't too impressed with the York hotel. Staff were unfriendly and not very accommodating, ranging from the front desk staff, to the porters who remained motionless whilst they watched us carry up 5 suitcases up the stairs to the main entrance, to the surly housekeeping staff who were visibly unimpressed at being asked to provide additional towels.
Rooms were of a decent size, although fairly basic. This hotel classifies itself as 4 star, but I would say it's only just scraping into that 4 star category and it is more equivalent to a 3 star travelodge in the UK. Bathrooms were small and pokey and even more basic than the rooms.
The walk from the hotel to Orchard road is a painful 15 minutes in the blistering heat (up hill on the way back) and there are far more convenient hotels to stay in if you're looking at the Orchard road area.
Overall a fairly functional, basic hotel, but not what I would call a luxury one. If you have low expectations and don't mind a perfunctory, unimaginatively decorated 1970s style basic bedroom (with a tv which hasn't been tuned in properly), then this is the place for you. If you want luxury, go elsewhere.
