Guest sentiment

An 85-unit serviced-apartment property on Claymore Hill off Orchard Road, a 5-minute walk to Orchard MRT, built for extended-stay guests with full kitchens and laundry.

Last updated August 12, 2026

Novotel Living Singapore Orchard is a serviced-apartment property at 8 Claymore Hill, tucked just off Orchard Road and about a five-minute walk from Orchard MRT station. Its 85 studios and one-to-three-bedroom apartments are aimed squarely at extended-stay guests, each with a fully equipped kitchen, in-room laundry, and a separate living area, backed by a pool, fitness centre, and daily housekeeping. Guest reviews are strongly positive, repeatedly citing the spacious-for-Singapore layouts, friendly and attentive staff, and the convenience of stepping out directly onto Orchard Road, with only occasional gripes about lift waits during a 2026 refurbishment and inconsistent cleaning between visits. It functions less like a conventional hotel and more like a serviced residence, which makes it best suited to relocating professionals, families, and business travellers staying a week or longer rather than a short weekend visit.

The research view

What the research keeps finding

Medium confidence

Themes that came up again and again across independent reviews — not a single opinion, but the patterns that repeat.

Consistently praised

  • TripAdvisor guest reviews rank the property near the top of Singapore's specialty-lodging category, with kitchen equipment, staff service, and the Orchard Road location the most repeated praise
  • Reviewers describe it as functioning more like a home than a hotel, citing supplied welcome groceries and drinks alongside standard housekeeping
  • The official site confirms 85 total units split across studios and one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartment configurations up to roughly 175 sqm

Worth knowing before you book

  • As of mid-2026 one lift in the building was under upgrade works (scheduled June 29 to October 7, 2026), which some recent guests flagged as a wait-time inconvenience
  • No independent blogger or publication review (as opposed to OTA guest reviews) could be confirmed for this property, so external_coverage.reviews is left empty rather than guessed
