Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I stayed at The Initial Residence Inn in Singapore for one week, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. From the moment I arrived, the hospitality stood out — warm, welcoming, and attentive. The staff were incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to make sure I felt comfortable and at ease throughout my stay. The atmosphere of the hotel felt like a home away from home. The rooms were clean, cozy, and well-maintained, with thoughtful touches that made the space relaxing and inviting. Every interaction with the team — from reception to housekeeping to the cafe staff — was met with kindness and professionalism. If you're looking for a place in Singapore that offers both comfort and heartfelt service, I highly recommend The Initial Residence Inn. I’m already looking forward to my next visit!

Séjour de 6 nuits à deux personnes

Séjour de 6 nuits à deux personnes dans cet hôtel. La chambre et spacieuse, et la salle de bain très grande. Nous n'avons pas utilisé le coin cuisine, mais tout semblait être fonctionnel et à sa place. Le frigo est très grand pour ce type de chambre et pas trop bruyant. La climatisation est bruyante, nous l'utilisions en journée lorsque nous n'étions pas dans la chambre pour la refroidir. Nous n'utilisons pas la clim pendant la nuit. La chambre se réchauffait petit à petit pendant la nuit, mais pas au point de devenir désagréable. Les arrêts de bus ne sont pas loin de l'hôtel ce qui permet de rayonner sur tout Singapour en utilisant les transports en commun.
