Detailed Reviews
It was our 2nd family trip to Singapore. The first time was 2 years ago, we stayed at Sentosa Island. It was easier to choose a place to stay because almost all hotels in Sentosa Island were family hotels. With big room, lots of beds, and all. This time we wanted to stay around down town. And finding a perfect down town hotel for family of 5 (with 3 kids aged 14, 12, 10 yo) was quite a struggle.
What we want: a well designed hotel room that provide enough space to wander around, connecting rooms if possible, at reasonable rates for sure, and a walking distance to MRT station. Reality: most of down town hotels in Singapore have unbelievably small room, they only have limited family room available, and usually with high rate.
After patiently searching many hotel options, we squeezed down to 2 hotels, and finally chose Hotel YAN because of the following:
1. Nice industrial-chic design, none like any other hotel in Singapore. And the rooms are not as small as any other hotel with the same rate. More than enough space to wide open the luggage.
2. Although they don't have family room, nor connecting rooms, but they managed our rooms close to each other. We booked 2 rooms: Deluxe Double with Balcony View for me & my husband, and Deluxe King for our kids.
3. Complimentary early check-in at 1pm just because we booked direct via Hotel YAN website. And also complimentary late check-out at 1pm (subject to availability).
4. I've been tricked by some hotel rooms pictures at other hotel website, but not with this hotel. What you see on the Hotel YAN website is what you get.
5. 2 MRT stations at a walking distance. The closest is Bendemeer MRT (about 150m away from Hotel YAN). And Lavender MRT (about 400m). Or simply order a taxi at the hotel reception, the hotel staffs were very helpful.
6. My favorite 24-hour shopping center in Singapore: Mustafa Center, also at a walking distance (about 600m away). And walking to Mustafa Center was quite an experience. It's part of Jalan Besar Heritage Trail. You'll see mesmerizing sights of old shop houses along the way.
7. No breakfast served at Hotel YAN, but you can get breakfast easily nearby. A lot of options to choose from.

From the start everything was easy. From the Airport take the train to Lavender Station and an easy flat 10 minute walk. Hotel staff are warm and friendly upon arrival. The room yes it is small and perfect for our 4 days in Singapore. Clean comfortable and fresh room, tea and coffee making facilities and cozy beds. Modern room with basic TV. The ultimate benefit is the hotels proximity to fantastic street food, transport and local supermarket. Loved it and would stay again. Beautiful staff very knowledgeable and kind.

Situated near the heart of the city, this hotel provides all the necessities in a compact yet stylish room! A great little find, that I highly recommend if you’re on a budget and don’t plan on spending all day in bed! There’s several MRT stations within walking distance, as is the always delicious Little India and bustling Bugis centre. The hotel provides a free phone to keep you connected, are helpful with any questions you have and most importantly, everything is spotlessly clean. If I’m back in Singapore, I’ll definitley be booking again!

From the moment we checked this establishment was a complete disappointment.
We booked and prepaid for two rooms for two nights. The lobby area more closely resembled a hostel, the front office staff was not gracious nor inviting. Once we got to the room my jaw dropped, the room was so small the door nearly hit the bed when we opened it. We had two regular size suitcases and the only place to store the suitcases was in the shower, to get in your suitcase you had to place in on the bed.
After numerous rude and unhelpful conversations with the front office staff, we walked across the street and stayed at the much nicer and roomier Park Royal Hotel, (the cost was same). Fortunately, hotel Yan did give us a full refund for the two terrible rooms we had booked!

Dear Valued Guest, Thank you for your feedbacks. All our rooms have windows and beds are near the windows. Definitely not our property if "the door hit the bed when you opened it" as you have mentioned. Our friendly and helpful Team looks forward to serve you well in the near future. Wishing you a safe trip and a wonderful holiday in Singapore! Thank you. Warmest Regards, Hotel YAN Team

My wife and I chose Hotel Yan to stay whilst in Singapore as it was one of the most reasonable hotels and we were travelling for 5 weeks so didn't want to blow the budget, which can be easily done in Singapore.
A 5-10 minute walk from Lavender MRT station (Get out McDonalds side) then up Horne Road and turn right and the hotel is a few hundred metres on the right.
On arrival at the hotel I was impressed with the trendy look of the foyer with lots of seating. Check-in was smooth and we were informed that all the food in the mini bar was free (coca-cola, m&ms and crisp) plus free water. Great touch! Also they provide you with a 'handy' mobile phone which you can use 4G on and make calls. Again, great touch!
The rooms will suit some but not others due to size. We knew what to expect and the room actually was manageable, even with our baby. Sliding door to toilet and shower. Double bed next to the window, squeezed in the corner. It suited us fine as a base for exploring Singapore. Actually, how much time did we spend in our hotel room? ...not much!
Staff were really friendly and helpful. We had an evening flight so we're happy to let us keep our bags in storage. We also spent a couple hours in the lobby chilling out before we went to the airport.
For the price Hotel Yan suited us but the size of rooms might not suit all. Depends how much you value space.

Location is in middle of 2 mrt stations; Lavender and Farrer Park. There are nice coffee and food shops nearby. Room is very small but well utilize space and clean. I stay in Superior Double Balcony room that is for 2 occupancies but I think it's suitable for only 1 person or may be 2 but must be couple or very closed friend since room is small and no solid wall between bed and bath and toilet but only transparent glass wall without lock. Staffs are helpful and nice. If your room doesn't include breakfast, you can buy a buffet breakfast at the hotel at SGD 15 person. There is no deposit when check-in at all and fast check-out. Overall I'm satisfied the stay.

We stayed here for 3 nights in Singapore. The hotel lobby is beautifully decorated and the reception staff are very polite and friendly.
We booked a standard room, which was extremely small. Not much room to walk around and a bit of a squeeze to get past each other but the decor was also lovely. Very clean with powerful AC and the bed was unbelievably comfortable!!!
You get two complimentary water bottles a day and also the mini fridge is complimentary and gets replenished daily! So every day we got 2 cokes, 2 mini packets of M&Ms and a packet of crisps.
The hotel is about 10 minutes walk from Lavender station.
Apart from the room size (which wasn't a big issue), the only down side was that the wifi was awful. It kept connecting and disconnecting and was very frustrating if we were trying to find places to eat/things to do etc.
Overall, a lovely stay!!

Booked a Deluxe Double with Balcony View for one night. Perfect place for short stays. There was no closet, so storing your clothes for more than two
nights might be problematic.
Very convenient location with tons of places to eat and has both the bus and two MRT stations within walking distance. 24 hr Mustafa and City Square Mall are also just a short stroll from the hotel.
Would have given a higher rating had it not been for the mini bar covered in mold.

No you can’t smoke at the hotel. There are special places to smoke.
Roken is erg lastig in Singapore. Het was voor mij er onduidelijk, dan durf je ook niet omdat de boete erg hoog is 500Singapore Dollar! Er zijn plekken met asbakken waar je mag roken. Aan de overkant van de straat een plek gevonden om te roken
No, there is no parking place from the hotel itself available.
Google map says Little India can be reached in approximately 20 mins (4 stops) by bus number 23, from the bus stop located at just 2 mins walk from Hotel Yan.
