You get what you pay
This is my 1st comeback to York since 1997. The building has been renewed and I think it's good. The location is about 100 m next to Mt.Elizabeth Hospital so it's actually close to downtown. You can reach the nearest MRT Station-Orchard in 10 minutes walking.
Regarding the service, it's 11 pm when I checked-in. It took about almost 15' since I had to wait the reception handled other guest. I didn't have any probs in waiting but that night, there's only 1 receptionist on duty (I guess) since meanwhile I was waiting there was another man coming from inside of the reception but he didn't intend to help us checking-in. So yes, I was a bit grumpy at that moment.
The room is clean, no smelll. The bathroom is still old fashioned but i still think it's acceptable. Hotel provides 1 bottle of mineral water, tea-coffee, bathroom amenities but no room sandals. Things that bothering me, tv channel is quite limited. Mostly local cable. And room wall is thin so we can hear voices from neighbor room. What made it worse was the guest at my next room was snoring! Barely can sleep all night.
However, they actually have helpful and kind staff. And hotel policy let us to put our luggage at the concierge with no additional cost while we went around Orchard to spend time before went to airport.
