Recommend for those budget travelers who like to walk around the park and amongst greenery yet still be near to the bustle Orchard and Dhoby Ghaut MRT station. This lodge is owned and managed by YWCA, Singapore. sg 03/09 The lodge appears at the top of the Fort Canning but it is easy to miss as it is tucked at the end of other buildings. It is a brick and white painted building. Located at the foot of Fort Canning, a designated park, the lodge sits on a little rise with access to Penang Road and Orchard Road via cutting through a mall. Down the road is the Singapore River and Clarke Quay. Fort Canning was the seat of the ancient Malay rulers who had a palace at the top of the hill. Today it is a park with walking and jogging paths as well as some historical tidbits of interest incorporated.

A great place to stay for the price. The breakfast provided was a bonus and the food was not elaborate but really good. We found the in-room laundry a great help. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Will stay there again if we visit Singapore.

A good clean budget hotel. Nothing

A good clean budget hotel. Nothing fancy and dont go if you want 5 star, but if you are looking for a clean airconditioned room with friendly helpful staff, I would definately reccomend it. We use it regularly!!

Have stayed in more expensive

Have stayed in more expensive Singapore hotels in the past. Booked into this hotel as it was a little cheaper and has a good location. Suggest free internet and wifi would improve the rating. People who have a later breakfast sit at tables with soiled table cloths. A suggestion is to replace table cloths when they become soiled during the breakfast period. The deluxe room, breakfast and pool facilities were much better than anticipated and I would recommend this hotel to anyone in the future.

Typical large Asian hotel. Good

Typical large Asian hotel. Good location: a few minutes from Douby Guat Metro and Orchard road. Cleanness and facilities very good for the price. Niggles were in the details: charges for Internet ridiculous and procedure to get it 10 years out of date. We wanted to eat lunch in the dining room the day we left but were told it was booked out and we would have needed a reservation (no warning). Breakfast typical Asian and OK for the money.
