"How did it strike you on arrival?Beyond an untidy metal lattice-clad exterior is a surprisingly on-point lobby that resembles a hip co-working space, with long tables and workbenches, a cafe-bar and mod industrial-chic chandeliers. Nice. What’s the crowd like?Young hipsters, backpackers on a "splurge night", those looking to strike a balance between a great stay and a good price. The good stuff: Tell us about your room.Superior Double Balcony View. At 49-square-feet it wasn't a space to lounge around in, but it's cleverly designed so I didn't lack anything, from bedroom slippers to a wine opener. Two mid-size suitcases would be a real squeeze though. We’re craving some deep, restorative sleep. They got us?The mattress was on the soft side but that didn't prevent me from getting a restful sleep. Nothing special about the sheets and pillows. How about the little things, like mini bar, or shower goodies. Any of that find its way into your suitcase?The free mini-bar selection (Coke, water, potato chips and M&Ms, replenished daily) was a pleasant surprise especially at this price point. Would steal: The rather stylish custom-designed coat rack in black and bronze. Please tell us the bathroom won’t let us down.Shower area was a bit small and screened from the bedroom by a curtain. Water pressure was ok. A nice touch were the fairly thick towels and soft grey bathrobes. The products (house brand) included handmade organic soap that the hotel says helps keep skin moist in Singapore's tropical climate. Maybe the most important topic of all: Wi-Fi. What’s the word?The signal was strong and it was free. Anything stand out about other services and features? Whether it’s childcare, gyms, spas, even parking—whatever stuck with you.The in-house cafe only serves beers, but there are plenty of cafes and bars nearby. No pool either but the community pool at the Jalan Besar Swimming Complex is only a few minutes walk. A rooftop chillout area is in the works. What was most memorable—or heartbreaking—about your stay?Memorable: Being smack in the middle of Singapore's hipster cafe hub. Heartbreaking: The rooms can be smaller than expected. Prep yourself for truly tiny. Bottom line: worth it, and why?It's got cool rooms in a hipster neighborhood close to plenty of popular cafes. Quality, design-centric accommodation plus good prices is very rare in Singapore." - Audrey Phoon

Before check in ask the question by website and WhatsApp also no response(need to improve). Compliments room aircond switch on 1st and free mini bar👍🏻. Aircond also enough very cold but room quite dusty and balcony still have someone left over smoke. Hot water time also too short for shower(need to improve). Check out time too early 11am, 1 day before request late check out but need next day ensure back, lastly next day called them and approve requested (appreciate). Free wifi and strong👍🏻(easy for tourists).Thanks

The staff were very kind. Had a one-night stay in one of their loft style rooms. I liked the industrial design of the room and the maximized space. However, the exhaust was shared between the shower and the toilet cubicles, and lots of open channels. So when I had a steamy bath, the whole room got very moist. Walls and the floors were wet. Not very pleasant. Good design, bad execution, i guess.

Location wise might need to walk a distance from MRT. The room is small but well equipped. Cant really fit big luggage but its fine for short trip. The room is clean and bed sheets all clean as well! No complaints on that. Hair dryer might have to request from the receptionist as they dont provide in room, probably room is too small for that.

Bus stop is around, 3 hawker centre, opposite hotel have 7 eleven.I like the slippers that hotel provided 👏Queen size bed comfort . Overall 8/10

I stayed in the loft room. I was a bit worried after reading some reviews, but everything turned out fine. The AC next to the bed has adjustable airflow. The fridge works well, there are slippers, and you can borrow a hair dryer. There’s a desk that was perfect for getting some work done. The desk light isn’t super bright, though. The front desk staff were all really nice and helpful. Overall, it was a really good stay.

The hotel is very clean and comfortable, with a welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel at home. The rooms are well-maintained and quiet, ensuring a relaxing stay. The environment is pleasant and peaceful, perfect for rest or work. Staff are friendly and helpful, making the overall experience smooth and enjoyable. Highly recommended for a comfortable stay.

The room wasn’t cleaned properly. There were used cotton buds on the floor, plastic bags with tissues inside that weren’t cleaned out from the drawer and also leftover soft drinks cans in the fridge that were probably left by the previous person.Personally speaking, I think walking to Lavender MRT station is quite far compared to walking to Bendemeer MRT station especially under the heat or walking late at night so use the latter if possible.

The room was a bit small but that was expected considering the cost. It was in a very good location, close to the metro as well. It made going around pretty simple.No one offered to help with the suitcases, it was a struggle to take the bigger checked suitcase up the stairs.

TL;DR: A lovely modern stay that probably best suits one person, though a bit pricey. Needed a hotel to stay at for a couple of days when first arriving in Singapore, and Hotel YAN was offering a premium double room at a rate of SGD$140 a night after taxes and fees. I had a late night arrival at around 2 am, which they were happy to accommodate, and check in was incredibly smooth, with no need for a deposit. Check out was incredibly easy as well, just dropping off the keycards at the front desk. The room was spotless when I arrived, and I loved the modern aesthetic and tall ceilings right away. It was a little small, but that is to be expected given its location in Singapore. The shower was incredible-- having a rain faucet-head made the experience feel luxurious, especially with how much I was sweating due to exploring in Singapore's weather during the day. The room included plenty of amentities, such as a mini fridge that came with two complimentary cokes and M&M pouches, and two sets of toothbrushes and toothpaste. They also provided a shaving kit, shower cap, and the usual shower amenities. The location is great as well, not being too noisy but very close to local cafes and hawker stands for convenient food access. In addition, the Metro station is only 5 minutes walk, so it really is so easy to get anywhere in the city! It was a pleasant stay, and I would love to stay here again.

Was in SG for a quick weekend getaway and this was our choice for a night's stay. Relatively new boutique hotel that takes inspiration from the swallow as "yan" is the chinese pronunciation for the bird and showcasing the feather motifs that are liberally used as their logo. The edgy yet cosy interior excites me and I felt that it was a thoughtful use of their otherwise small-ish rooms. Not sure if everyone will appreciate the near wall to wall glass en suites, but they have considered that, and added in curtains for privacy purposes. But during out stay, our toilet exhaust seemed to be broken, so we sometimes felt the room had a slight smell after coming back from our day out. Also the dark shades sometimes 'highlighted" the dust as it was more visible... But that said, we loved that they tried to make the bedhead multi-functional but also building in a desk behind it, with shelves for more storage. A small mini bar is also hidden under. Personally I love the extra feature of the customised wall clothes rail even though it was a little in the way when we have hung our stuff haha. And despite it being some walking distance from the MRT, we found it very convenient jumping on buses here. And with Chye Seng Huat (a coffee place) just steps away, we found our morning caffeine fix easily. Also, many more local food joints within walking distance so we never got to try their cafe, Nido in the lobby. I would definitely consider coming back due to its convenience and vicinity.

We were able to stay here a few weeks ago as we had our first trip to Singapore. The hotel is quite , cute, quaint and trendy! The staff was able to quickly get us in and I was happy I didn't have to give a deposit at this hotel. We were able to book our room through Agoda.com. We were also happy because we were able to be settled in a room right next to our friends without an issue. Granted we stayed from Sunday-Weds so there was probably more availability. I will say it was THE SMALLEST Hotel room we have ever stayed in. We also had been told everything in Singapore is small due to space restrictions. It had the bare essentials and a bit more giving you a toothbrush and toothpaste. As well as, shaving kit, sewing kit, soap, shower cap, lotions and shower gels. They also provide a mini bar with coke, m&ms and chips. (at least the week we stayed). The hotel is like acted in Little India and it's about a 10 minute way to the nearest Metro station. Singapore is pretty pricy overall but I believe Hotel Yan is a great value! I would stay here again.
