The Initial Residence

Nice and clean for family to stay. Convenient location

Room was below expectations from pictures Staff services must improve. The only saving grace is that the room is spacious

地理位置非常好，樓下和對面都有公交站，去哪兒都方便。對面就是Shaw Plaza，有超市，早餐可以去亞坤，文東記和發起人肉骨茶也在公寓100米左右。很適合家庭出遊，床很大，有廚具和洗衣機，這種氣候的地方每天都要洗很多衣服，配置挺人性化。

This hotel is indeed very good and I highly recommend it. The most important thing is the help I received from “Ken”. The room was also very comfortable to stay in. 如果是國人，第一次來新加坡，我推薦這裏，前提你得帶好足夠的現金，哈哈哈哈哈

非常好的公寓，乾淨整潔，對面就是商場，門口就是巴士站，出行非常方便

房間大，有洗衣乾衣機；附近吃飯、交通方便

The cons for this hotel outweighed the pros. In summary I would not stay there again. When we arrived, we were asked for a $100 cash security deposit. I have no issue providing a deposit and asked whether they could charge my card like most hotels. They refused. It reduced the cash funds I had exchanged before arrival and meant I had to exchange the $100 back into our currency when I left Singapore. The kicker was that they did not even check the room for damage when we left. We booked the garden room. It was small, the bedroom did not have any external windows. The garden was a small planter box with dying plants. Soundproofing was terrible. The hotel uses metal legged chairs. You could hear chairs being dragged across the floor and occupants walking in the room above. Reasonableness meant that up to 10.30pm or 11.00pm that noice should be considered ok, but on our first night the noise continued until 1-2am and we could not sleep. The next night was the same and at 10.30pm I went and complained to the 24/7 concierge. He listened to the noise and spoke with the occupants from the room above twice. When the noise continued, he moved us to another room which was better than the garden room. He proactively managed the situation but it did take a while. There was noise from the room above in our new room during reasonable hours so it was not as much of an issue. The site says the nearest MRT is 970m away. It’s not. Google maps has it at 1.5 km and it is a hilly walk. We worked out the bus network. Positives were the beds in both apartments were comfortable and both rooms were clean. However on check in we were told the room would be serviced every 2 days. That never happened.

The hotel is located right next to Shaw Plaza which has multiple eateries and a supermarket. The bus stops directly outside so public transport is easy. The room itself was clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Would definitely recommend.

Horrible policies and hospitality. Only allow 4 bottles of water a day because I have 4 guest. Had a dispute about the parking, and although the concierge was doing his best but the manager (Enzo) was giving but rude, his words were I quote “nothing in this world is free”. How rude, and clearly not from a hospitality back ground. Will not stay again, which is a waste because their rooms are pretty decent.
