Lloyd's Inn in Singapore

Strategically located right behind Orchard Road, approximately an 8–10 minute walk away.

The main disappointment during our stay was the interaction with the reception staff, particularly Annie. After being informed that the hairdryer would be located in a specific drawer—which turned out to be empty—we called reception to request one. Her response over the phone came across as noticeably annoyed. When she arrived at the room, her first instruction was for us to open the drawers, at which point the hairdryer was found in the last drawer, stored together with a Bible. This raised concerns about internal communication and whether housekeeping checks were properly carried out prior to check-in, especially since the hairdryer was not placed where guests were told it would be.
In addition, despite clearly specifying a double bed during the booking process, this request could not be accommodated. As this was communicated in advance, it was disappointing and affected the overall comfort of our stay.

If this property were classified as an inn, it would be acceptable; however, as a hotel, it falls short. I am quite particular about cleanliness and upkeep, and unfortunately both were lacking. Maintenance standards felt low overall, particularly the bathroom ceiling ventilation fan. While I understand that the entrance carpet is intended for shoe removal, being greeted by a visibly dirty carpet is quite off-putting.

The so-called “terrace” is essentially an open space with two plants and a wall planter illuminated by spotlights. While the intention to reference the Shakkei design principle is appreciated, but the execution and level of maintenance leave much to be desired.

As other reviewers have mentioned, sound insulation is very poor. Footsteps in the corridor are clearly audible, and we happened to stay next to a family, with noise continuing late into the night. The shower area itself is semi-open with a grid pergola soffit, and we could even hear a neighbouring guest singing in the shower—which is completely normal and not the guest’s fault—but it does highlight how thin the soundproofing is. While the design intent is evident, better maintenance and acoustic consideration would have made a significant difference.

If you’re considering paying extra for breakfast, it’s not worth it. It’s not served on-site—you have to walk out to either the German breakfast spot, Bread Beer & Brez’n, or Killiney Kopitiam, where the options are very basic (just two soft-boiled eggs and toast). It’s easier and more cost-effective to simply step out or order in breakfast instead, as there are plenty of other food options nearby at a better price.

My mother‑in‑law came to visit, so we booked this hotel because it is close to our home. The price was reasonable and it felt clean, and since it faces a large open field, it was quiet and she found it a comfortable place to stay.

Great little hotel in a central location in town. A little noisy at night but to be expected from the location.

Super cosy and cute will definitely com back highly recommend

The property is lovely and very clean. The rooms are cosy and provide slippers and robes, there are also a variety of teas and coffee provided. An iron is available on request at reception.
The only thing that would be nice to have is a small side light at the bedsides instead of the spotlight. Overall, a wonderful stay!

awesome stay with lloyd’s inn, enjoyed every minute of it… especially the pool😍

We had an unpleasant experience during our stay at this hotel. The soundproofing was very poor — we could hear constant noise from the hallway and traffic next to the hotel throughout the night, which made it difficult to rest. Early in the morning, the housekeeping staff were especially noisy, talking and moving equipment loudly right outside the rooms.

To make things worse, the receptionist had poor communication skills and was unable to articulate clearly when I tried to clarify some details about my booking. The overall experience felt unprofessional and far below expectations for the price paid.

I would not recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a quiet and comfortable stay.

We had an excellent stay at Lloyds Inn. Staff really helpful. We arrived early but allowed to leave our bags in reception and settle in our room sooner which was a great help after a long and tiring flight. Staff were also helpful about using reception washroom/shower before we flew home. The room was super clean and just right. It had everything you needed including dressing gowns and jandals for around the pool. We liked the tea and coffee machine facilities outside our room and the pool area was relaxing too. Would definitely come back here!

Out of the bustling city, clean room & friendly service. However, we got bitten by the mosquitoes. Bed is too soft for my liking
