York Hotel Singapore, Singapore, Singapore - Reviews and Hotel Information

I stayed at the York Hotel for four nights in October 2004. I had been there as part of a work conference a few years earlier and decided to come back.

It was a good place to stay, though I found it a bit frustrating having to walk uphill from Orchard Road every time I returned to the hotel. It`s probably ok if you aren`t planning to do much shopping, but a ten minute-walk turns into an arduous trek if you are laden with shopping bags. Mind you, the taxis are cheap so why am I complaining?

Promotional material for the hotel always shows a vast, grandiose, sloping structure. The entire time I was there, I couldn`t figure out where they had taken these pictures from. Bottom line, in this case at least, it`s what`s inside that counts.

The porters and concierge at the York are outstanding. They are always ready to help out.

The international calling rates from the room are CHEAP! I have never experienced this before. My phone bill was as follows:

England 7 minutes: S$2.39
Canada 3 minutes: S$1.70

Obviously you should check with reception first, but if you plan to make a lot of calls, then this is a convenient option.
