Fort Canning Lodge - Singapore, Singapore 

Spacious rooms, nice location, clean and airy
Posted: Fri, May 09 2008
We had previously checked into the 81 Bencoolen, for its convenience, pricing and location, but were uncomfortable. We trotted it up to YWCA Fort Canning Lodge to have better accomodation at a slight premium over the previous booking (S$235.00 for a standard twin-bedded double room). The staff at the reception were very accomodating and we stayed there with our two young boys for 5 days. The rooms were spacious and clean. The shower in the bathroom although could be replaced with something more modern or convenient; (you can't direct the flow of water; instead you stand in the way of the jet of water). The buffet breakfast and the self-service laundromat make life a lot more convenient especially when you are travelling with children for many days. All said and done, the Fort Canning Lodge was convenient, situated on the lovely and less visited Fort Canning Rise (where you can go for a lovely walk and visit the Battle Box). The staff were friendly, helpful and cheerful (probably it is a true Christian spirit!!!).

The location is OK...

The location is OK...but a bit difficult to explain this hotel to the taxi driver. The standard room size is OK...but the room smells bad and the aircon is quite noisy...the toilet size is a bit small. But it is still acceptable for a hotel in Singapore, a beautiful and enjoyable country.

Good location

We spent 3 days at the fort canning lodge. The hotel is budget hotel and reasonable. The good thing about the hotel is location just at the end of Orchard road, trains 5 mins walk and central to little india, china town. Although found out a free shuttle bus service operates down the road. The breakfast was basic and dining room so outdated and needs refirbuishment so dissapointed on this note. lunch would not appeal since better palces outside the hotel down Orchard road and singapore shopping plaza only 5 mins walk, great places to eat around here and basment food courts may appeal to most people. No problems with hotel staff quite freindly shame the rooms and dning rooms need an upgrade. Rooms basic and no baths which my little daughter wanted, rooms reasonably clean.
