The place itself is not that terrible. The service is. We called the reservation line to indicate that we wanted a room at a certain location and was subsequently billed. Although prices were NETT on the website, we had to pay an extra 7% on what the customer officer claimed to be for use of the facilities (?!?!). We didn't... more

Maybe Asians are not to open to this new concept of serviced residences but I love it! I was actually lookin for a place at Far East Apartments and another one called Fraser something..but they were so pricey it was just way out of my moderate budget. Then I visited the Singapore Tourism Board as it was just around the... more

However, for ambiance of the external building shys in comparison to a... more

Several weeks ahead of time, I booked into an ensuite room for 5 nights from 30th September. 2 days before arrival they emailed me that the room was no longer available, but offered an alternative. With little time available I tried to call them. 78 times I tried to call them. Not once did they pick up the phone in... more

My parents and in laws come visit every year and this year the hotel rates were crazier than our rentals! I was very unwilling to spend SGD$350 a night each room, SGD$700 for 2! My family would stay at least 2 weeks! Do the math! Surfed the net for serviced apartments and they were even more ludicrous at SGD$700 to... more
