The hotel is, as the YMCA name suggests, a no-frills hotel that offers decently sized room and even compplimentart breakfast. The first impression when I got there was wondering how old the hotel was. When I got to the room, I had a feeling of time-treaveling back to the 6-70's. But after that "adjustment", things began to match the expectation....the pool, the breakfast buffet that offered something like 10 items, but some are actually different from day to day (I was expecting to see the same 10 items everyday...)
So if you are going there for a quick get-away and won't plan to stay in the hotel for long, it would be a good choice. If you go there for biz, the lack of Internet in the room, in this day and age, might be a bit of a deterrent.

| "the complimentary bus service from the YMCA does not bring clients to the nearest station but it only drops them to the Hotel which is quite far from the Orchard Street Station or another train station. As a result we have to take a taxi to Orchard Street Station with our luggages and then take a train to City Hall Station then take a train to the Airport. As a result my friend and I have to spend more money on travelling. May I suggest that the complimentary bus service can deliver clients to the nearest train station instead of that Hotel.
As a whole it is a pleasant place to stay." |

The front desk crew were accommodating. We were allowed to check in early - 7:30 am instead of the 2 pm schedule .
Breakfast buffet is satisfying." |

| "We stayed in the hotel from 25-27 October 2006. Although the room were we stayed was small and needs refurbishing, it was relatively clean. It had a window but of no use because it was blocked by the tennis court. The bathroom was small and towels were so old that needs replacement. Most of the staff were courteous, helpful and nice. However, I noticed that some of the staff were not nice to Aseans. The breakfast is not as good as I have expected. The room rate was a little bit expensive for the service they provide. The hotel is a little far out of the central area of Singapore. Although they have a scheduled shuttle service going out of the hotel, coming back is a problem.
Overall rating, a litlle below average. However, I observed that they are currently upgrading some facilites and I hope that next time, service will be better. " |

| "Room and breakfast OK. Considering that Metropolitan Y is somewhat out of the way, suggest that shuttle service be made available from the drop off point back to the hotel(shuttle is available only from hotel to Orchard Rd. - one way only) provided that guests are there at the scheduled time and are able to present proof that they are booked guests." |

| "We arrived early in the morning and asked if we could have breakfast as this was included in the price of the room, and we would be leaving at 5am the following day the manager said no
We had a long night flight and we tried to have a sleep but there was building going on out side the building.
I also thought the hotel was too far out of the city area and would not stay there again
