The 3 bedroom apartment was spacious, clean, and comfortable, and had amenities that made it feel like home. This is the perfect spot for families with young kids, or in my case, teens. Lots of food options, shopping, Orchard MRT station and bus stops within a 10 minute walk. I would definitely stay here again.

(I booked on behalf of the guests, but did not stay myself)

The guests loved the hotel — great location, clean and spacious rooms, nice facilities. The stay was not cheap but represented really good value. And most of all, excellent service.

The guests had checked in at around 3am. The front desk closes at 11pm but provided instructions. They encountered some issue (seems like some communication issue) but were able to successfully check-in.

The service recovery was fantastic. The manager Sunil called upon receiving feedback, and explained his findings from watching the CCTV. He then offered free breakfast for the rest of the stay to ensure they had a great stay; this was not requested for and not necessary (it didn’t seem like anyone was at fault), but was greatly appreciated by the guests and myself. So kudos to Sunil for doing an excellent job.

The guests were also very complimentary about the front desk and other staff at the hotel. All in all, they greatly enjoyed their stay and would wholeheartedly recommend this hotel.

We went for the cheapest option and it was very spacious. We had non stick pans, stainless steel pots and pans, plates, bowls, electric rice-cooker, coffee machine, kettle. Trust me, the washing machine was so handy especially for Singapore's weather so we didn't have to bring much at all because we could wash clothes everyday. It's very clean and the air-conditioner is very good. All the staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel isn't far at all from the Thai embassy where there is a hop on and hop off bus. It's on a quiet road but very close to Orchard mrt station and it's only about a 3 minute walk to the Shaw Centre where you'll find lots of cheap food options starting from £3 to £10 for a bowl of noodles.

Conveniently located, clean and has a pool.

Had a great stay at 8 on Claymore. We stayed during the Christmas and New year period. It is super close to the MRT and the malls (if that's you thing). Unfortunately the weather was only good for the pool on one day, however it is really nice to be able to relax after the hustle and bustle that Singapore can be. Although I try to usually stay at boutique hotels, 8 on Claymore was really clean and continent.
Due to covid requirements the breakfast was delivered to the rooms every morning (bento box style), it was very hit and miss and I believed it may of been sourced from outside.
I would recommend for a stay a little longer than a short holiday or and extended business trip, as it has a washing machine and big fridge.

The ac created a lot of moisture in the room, which had been solved with a portable dehumidifier that created a lot of noice and had to be emptied daily.

Superb location for Orchard Road shopping and the MRT station for public transport both in the city and further afield.. Unfortunate that one of the two lifts was out of commission for a few days before it was mended, but the staff were very apologetic and we were given a compensatory, free evening meal at the Royal Plaza 5* sister hotel.
All in all this is a terrific base for a visit to Singapore. It would be our first port of call, should we go back.

The apartment is close to all transport, shopping and food outlets. the staff were friendly and helpful. The only issue that could be improved was the $250 refundable deposit.

The $250 refundable deposit should be arranged as a separate transaction and cash could be used to eliminate these extra costs.

Wonderful stay for a great price!

It was my fiancé's first trip to Singapore and I wanted us to stay in the Orchard area as it was easily accessible to everything.
We stayed at 8 on Claymore for 9 days. Our flight arrived early so we knew our room would not be available yet. After traveling for 32 hours, we were in desperate need of a nice, warm shower before we explored Singapore while waiting for our room to be ready. The staff were so nice and accommodating (I regret not remembering their names), they let us use the shower room in the lobby and even offered us their delicious buffet breakfast so we can refuel before exploring Singapore. They even stored our luggages for us. Thank you so much for that!
We were escorted to our room with a staff member and we were surprised with an upgrade to a 2 bedroom apartment. We truly felt like we won the lottery at this point! She showed us around, explained how everything worked. The room looked exactly like it did in the pictures. It was immaculately clean. Everything we need to make our stay comfortable was available
In the room. Espresso machine, utensils which also included rice cooker and toaster, snack pack, drinks, laundry detergent, safe and maps were available in the room. Yes! A 2-in-1 washer and dryer is included in the room.
The bathtub was huge but the only complaint was that the water did not stay hot to fill the tub. Definitely not a deal breaker though.
Location, amenities, staff were all perfect. We are definitely staying here again the next time!

Family friendly hotel in excellent location

I deliberated between a couple of hotels close to Orchard road for our 10 day trip to Singapore, and I'm so glad that I ended up choosing 8 On Claymore!
If you are traveling with children, this 'apart- hotel' is perfect. It has everything you would expect from a regular hotel but with the added bonus of having separate bedrooms and bathrooms, plus a kitchen, dining and lounge room. Admittedly, we didn't use the kitchen much as a great breakfast is provided on level 4 by the pool and we ate out at dinner time, but it was very well equipped and modern. It is great to have the option of eating in if young children are tired or are fussy eaters. There are two supermarkets within walking distance, one more Asian, and one definitely aimed at foreigners, stocking UK, Australian and American brands. The hotel also provides a free welcome basket in the kitchen, containing all sorts of food and drink items.
The rooms at 8 On Claymore are clean and modern, and are serviced Mon to Fri. The bathrooms contain all the regular supplies expected in a hotel, and there is also a washing machine in the room, with laundry detergent provided.
We found the location of this hotel to be perfect! It is tucked away on a quiet street behind Orchard road, yet by walking through The Shaw Centre, you are on the main street and at the metro station in a matter of minutes. The location and proximity to the MRT means that all places of interest are easily visited. I definitely recommend staying here!

Excellent serviced apartment close to Orchard Road

We had a very pleasant stay at 8 on Claymore. Although the reception area was not open when we arrived during the early hours of the morning, they had arranged for a staff member to be there to give us our room keys. Excellent service and very helpful and obliging staff - we will certainly stay here again. We paid for 7 nights for a 6 night stay, but still found it to be good value. Have recommended to family and friends. A minor criticism is the breakfast, which we found to be average and does not live up to the website write up. However, when you are in Singapore you should be trying the many places and varieties of food to eat, rather than fill up on a hotel breakfast.

Clean but silly marred by silly omissions.

The property was conveniently located for our particular purposes but would benefit from a little attention to details like provision of suitable lighting. The second bedroom had no lighting controllable from either of the two beds. Two of the four overhead lights in the main bedroom were controllable from the bed but neither of these was well located for reading in bed: there were no bedside lights. Many channels of television available in the (small) living area but no access to radio anywhere.

Walking distance to eating places & public transp.

We really enjoyed our stay at 8 on Claymore. The staff were very responsive. We took a studio and it had more than everything one would need. It was great having a full kitchen to make drinks or heat up food brought in. It also came with a washer/dryer which we did use a number of times. Much to our surprise even the laundry detergent was supplied, most other places only give you enough for one wash which makes it inconvenient when we have to go and purchase more. It had a substantial breakfast, asian and western foods which my husband really enjoyed to his heart's content! It also came with daily maid service except weekends and holidays. It has a swimming pool and a kids' pool. The only thing lacking was a dishwasher but it didn't matter because the maids did the dishes too! The location was great for eating places, shopping and transportation. Even my siblings who live in Singapore was surprised that such a place existed so close to Orchard road.

Upon arriving it is not immediately clear where you should go to checkin. There are signs directing you to the 4th floor, but they are easy to miss.

The staff was very helpful in explaining how everything in room works. There was also a clearly explained manual for all of the appliances.

The room interior is stylish and functional. The curtains do not block light as much as I would have hoped.

There is no bath tub; only a shower. The overhead rainforest shower head is decent, but water pressure is lacking. There was a lack of amenities in the room. No toothbrush/paste, and no shaving equipment. They are provided upon request.

The bed has a good quality mattress. Nice down pillows, but they flattened out when used. Pillow options would be nice.

The room comes furnished with a generous amount of snacks, cereal, juices, and even a can of beer. Free for first use, and only charged upon refilling.

The breakfast buffet was acceptable in terms of quality and variety, but seating can run out if you go during peak hours.

Room had a bad smell to it.

We noticed the bad smell right away. After a few days me and my husband where not feeling good. Our last day we where miserable. Plus, the microwave and coffee maker did not work. House keeping let the front desk know, but it was never resolved. After we left we started feeling better. Would not recommend other said their rooms smelled bad also.

This Hotel was excellent, we had 2 teenage girls and the rooms were very spacious. Staff were fantastic and all amenities we excellent. It was also so close to everything and close to the MRT stations which made it easy to travel around Singapore.

Great location

The staff are all friendly and helpful. The rooms are very clean even though a bit compact. the free carpark and buffet breakfast added to the value. We love the convenient location and would recommend it to anyone looking for a convenient location to stay. The registration system for carpark might be a bit slower as I had to press the bell quite a number of times.

Every comfort provided

I booked a two-bedroom suite for our group of four and I was thanked extravagantly for finding such a perfect place in such a perfect location. The staff was endlessly pleasant and helpful. The suite had a full kitchen and was supplied with a \"starter\" kit of cereals, soup, cookies, milk, beer and soft drinks. Bottled water was supplied daily. Air conditioning, so important in Singapore, was zoned and thermostat controlled and kept us very comfortable.

Great Location

Our family of four (parents and two teenagers) spent a week in Singapore, enjoying all the sights and sunshine.
The apartment was spacious and very close to Scott's/Orchard Road. Clean and tidy and it was nice to have the complimentary drinks and snacks when we first arrived. The bottled water each day was really appreciated. Helpful staff and they answered all our questions. Nice breakfast with something for the whole family to eat. Highly recommend these apartments.

Great place to stay!

We were very comfortable at 8 on Claymore while in Singapore visiting our son! On arrival, the attendants were so helpful- even calling our cab to retrieve a suitcase that was left and bringing it to our room on arrival- we were able to access our room earlier than expected, which was a relief, after our 25 plus hour journey! Steven at the reception desk gave us a tour and we found all the amenities just right. The location was perfect too- close enough to Orchard and the MRT for easy access. Breakfast every day was also good and convenient for our itinerary. Felt like home( but less work!)

We stayed here for 10 nights and I would stay here again so would thoroughly recommend it. We had a two bedroom apartment and the space was great for our family of four. The kitchen has basic supplies but enough to prepare your own meals if you don't want to eat out every night. There are several supermarkets nearby too. We were there for my daughter's birthday and the staff gave her a card and cake which was lovely. I was also able to bake a cake too as we invited friends around to help celebrate - and there was enough space and plates etc to have friends around for dinner. The staff were always friendly and helpful. The buffet breakfast each day gives an option of western or asian dishes and the food and drinks provided in the room when you first arrive was also appreciated. The location is great - very convenient for Orchard Road and public transport.

I made the right choice!

My review may be slightly tainted I admit, as we paid for a Premier Studio room, but were selected to be upgraded to a 2 Bedroom apartment at check-in. The room blew me away. Very elegant and spacious. Every feature we may have needed was present, and the air-conditioning was effective and most welcomed.

Service at check-in was exceptional as we were guided by a pleasant staff member and shown the hotel facilities. English is not a problem in Singapore, and the skills of our staff were excellent.

Breakfast was simple but plentiful, and very tasty. 24 hour coffee facilities too. Lovely pool area and cool gym.

Excellent savings through Expedia on a minimum of 7 nights deal.

The 2 Bedroom apartment was just amazing, and the views we had from room 11E, in 3 directions, were great, even with the haze. The kitchen facilities are excellent, large fridge and freezer, and a coffee machine. Lots of gift snacks and drinks too, and plenty of bottled water provided. The room had absolutely everything we could need. TV selection was excellent, even if many channels were not available. The bathrooms were lovely, with the main having a great shower head, and a deep bath.

Using the MRT: Once in the underpass, getting to the Orchard MRT station may be a little confusing at first, but you'll become familiar rather quickly. The MRT system is excellent, and definitely the way to get around. Taxis are cheap though.

Plaza Singapura was my choice to shop and eat on Orchard. (Dhoby Ghaut MRT)

Exellent apartment at a great location!

We stayed in the 2bdr apartment for 1 wk. Great place for families right in the city centre. Modern, clean facilities, extremely friendly and accomodating staff. We were grateful for the complimentary welcome drinks/snack food. There is room for improvement with the daily inclusive buffet breakfast but it was sufficient to start the day. We made good use of the children pool and playground. Will definitely come back!!

Great location centrally located

Hotel staff very attentuve. I stayed in a studio apartment It was fine for me as I was alone however if I had been travelling with someone we would have fouught over the sungle chair in the studio. Extensive range of hot and cold Breakfast items available. One of the real benefits was that there was a washer dryer in the studio. Air-con in room whilst essential was very loud Location perfect,very central,close to the MRT. I would recommend this Hotel.

Not for everybody\n

With a 4 respectable 5 star property i do expect some basic service just to be there. This unfortunately is not the case with this property. When i arrived from a long haul flight, i had to look for a porter to help me with my luggage and then go up to the 4th floor for my check in. Check in was o.k but immediately $250.00 per charged to my credit card (not held as a safety deposit but physically charged), with the comment that this is standard procedure and that i would get a refund at the end of my stay, if i would not use the full amount. This still leaves me with currency exchange risks and i have never before experienced that anywhere in the world.
Once i was shown to my studio apt. which was actually not a studio but a very small hotel room in which a kitchenette had been cramped in, i was also informed, that amenities such as shower gel, etc. will only be provided upon arrival (i.e. once) and thereafter i would have to buy my own. Change of sheets was 3 times a week and no room service was on weekends (Sat/Sun). Not really 4 or 5 star style.
Furthermore the air-condition did not work very well (cooling ok, but did not take any of the extreme humidity out of the air) and had a dehumidifier in the room, which i had to empty at least 4 times in 24 hours.
Breakfast which was included, was at best average and internet was useless (fas too slow)

Not a property for the business traveller and will not go back.

Fantastic serviced apartment

Our stay with this serviced apartment was truly fantastic from start to finish. Loved the welcome basket of goodies, the fridge stocked with drinks, the lovely welcome (we arrived at 1am). Serviced apartment was very modern, spacious, well designed with modern appliances and apartment was always clean thanks to Rati! The staff at reception were always so very accommodating and friendly. I will be staying here everytime I come back to Singapore. This is without a doubt a fantastic place to stay in Singapore as it is also very central, close to orchard road and within easy access to cinema, transport, supermarket and restaurants. It is great for families too as we travelled with children. We will be back for sure. Thank you 8 on Claymore for making our stay in Singapore memorable

Love Singapore hate the Haze

Great hotel..room, breakfast, staff wonderful...a charging station in the room for all electronics saved us taking all the converters. We were unaware of a public holiday during our stay when room services not done but a minor issue. Great walking city but also urge the Hop On Hop Off bus. Location of the hotel also excellent. Definitely recommend it.

Great place to stay while in Singapore

The hotel is located in a great neighbourhood within walking distance to all the malls on Orchard Road and to the Orchard MRT station making getting to anywhere a breeze. The breakfast each morning was adequate and the complimentary food basket in the room was a nice surprise. Having an in room washer/dryer was also a bonus.
