I had about 27 hours in Singapore, as I arrived from Helsinki at around 5PM, and was departing the following evening at around 8PM to Hong Kong. 27 hours should be plenty of time to go into the city and stay at a nice hotel there, but I decided to hang near the airport. Why?…

The reason it feels like a first class sute....the Yotel design was actually inspired by BA First. The founder, Simon Woodroffe, said he was on a BA flight in the early 2000s and that it inspired him to make a compact luxury room with clever use of design and technology.
I've only stayed at the LGW one, and a while ago now, but as a single traveller with a late arrival and early departure it was perfect and rather cosy. I really enjoyed it!
Thanks for a great review Ben, that note and 'monster' was a very clever touch on the GM's part. Also the gym does't look too bad considering the premium I'd imagine they are paying to lease space on the airport grounds. Looking forward to the Qantas F lounge review.
Great review. Staying at the YotelAir in IST in a few weeks. Got a great deal for just under 9k points from the CSR.
Does they stay classify as hotel with your credit card? Just checking. It looks like a lot of fun. Especially for the waterfall light show, you get a great view if you come early.
I laughed out for the note too. Although there’s no way I put more than $50 for a hotel room without window, gonna give it to the GM.
@ Fraser, "inspired by BA First". I doubt that those words have ever been written or spoken before!
Very cool! We stayed at the Yotel at IST and it was a dreadful experience... self-check in was broken with a huge queue, and all kinds of things not working properly in the room. Will have to try another location sometime.
We stayed at the Yotel Changi, shortly after it opened. There was a huge line for check in... it took us over a half an hour, but that was just the luck of the draw, as other times the lobby was almost empty. The room was extremely clean and for a single occupant, I can see this as a viable option. But for a couple, the room was uncomfortably crowded. We could barely move around, and even though we only had two carry-on luggage pieces, they were always "in the way".
Feel this way about Citizen M hotel at Terminal 3 CDG.....feels like a 1st class cabin....very clever design and lots of fun!
Singaporeans are gifted with an outstanding sense of humor! As for the room, at 100 USD+, this looks tragic.
Yotel IST was perfect for my needs - clean comfortable affordable decent restaurant
How tall are you lucky?
I'm just wondering cause I stayed at a Yotel in Singapore and I don't know of it was just the room I'd booked but I was far too tall for the bed. I'm 6'6" so I am a freak of nature.
