Staycation: Yotel Orchard Review (cozy room with great views)

Written review: https://www.wahsoshiok.com/yotel-orch...

Hello everyone – welcome back to another of my reviews. In today’s video, I’ll be reviewing my stay at Yotel Orchard.

I think Yotel Orchard is a unique proposition. For one, it's one of the cheapest hotels in Orchard - perhaps only Orchard Rendezvous Hotel and Orchard Hotel can be had for under $150. Not only is it located closer to the heart of Orchard than the other two, but it's also newer and more modern. Yes, the room is smaller (about half the size of the aforementioned Orchard hotels), but it has neat space-saving features that make it seem more spacious than it actually is. However, the piece de resistance is definitely the bathroom, where the floor-to-ceiling windows allow you an unparalleled view of Orchard. There's something oddly therapeutic about showering with a view of Orchard, bathed in natural light - it's truly a unique experience that only Yotel Orchard offers. And while the hotel facilities aren't the best, it does have a good restaurant (Komyuniti) that serves bang-for-buck set lunches every day. There's certainly room for improvement, but I enjoyed my stay overall and will gladly return.

Those interested in booking a stay at Yotel Orchard can do so on the Traveloka app. Traveloka constantly has some sort of ongoing promotion, with prices so ridiculously low that I’ve personally booked about 90% of my staycations on Traveloka. Just for my readers, you guys can use the promo code “WAHTVLK” (non-SRV) for $10 off any hotels or attractions purchase (with a minimum spending of $100) for new users and $5 off any hotels or attractions purchase (with a minimum spending of $50) for existing users. The code is valid till the end of 2022. Here’s a pro tip: keep a lookout for Traveloka’s Weekend Flash Sales which occurs every Friday to Sunday for the lowest prices! However, this post is not sponsored – I paid my own dime to book the hotel.
