Nice accommodation in a convenient area.
Very nice accommodation at a reasonable price. Easy walk (about 10 minutes) to Metro Blue Line Stop (Fort Canning). Quiet area with lots of dining options at the building and also at nearby Robertson Walk. Suggest some enhancements to the minimalistic design to the apartment room (more wall hooks for hanging towels, etc., some additional dish ware and glassware in kitchenette, addition of a narrow table against TV wall for more horizontal space for charging tablets, phones, etc).
This is a very well designed & practical place to stay.
The kitchenette room was excellent, because it included a washer/dryer - tho it took 5h vs 1.5h to do a load of laundry 😂 - but still better than going to a laundromat.
The room was very comfortable & quiet with great bed, decent A/C, kitchen, furniture & bathroom.
What makes this hotel great is its very spacious and nicely air conditioned working lobby area with individual work tables, sofas and shared tables where you can get work done or have a meeting.
Here, you can order some basic food and drinks while you work & the price is reasonable. There is also a supermarket downstairs as well, which makes it convenient for food options.
There are several restaurants in the New Bahru complex which seem v. good (tho a bit pricey) like Dearborn & PPP Coffee, but being very popular they were frequently crowded.
However take a right turn on Kim Yam Rd when you exit the complex, keep walking straight for about 4-6 mins and you will basically be at Robertson Quay/ Singapore river area along with all of it’s sights & dining options.
You can also take a left and follow Martin Place straight to the M-Social hotel/Singapore river which takes a few minutes more. There is a very decent breakfast buffet here.
2 MRTs nearby within 10-15m walk - Fort Canning & Great World (for Orchard Rd 1 stop away)
The staff are v. friendly, attentive, kind & make you feel special 😊 Highly recommend this place.

Great location
I would like to rate between “good” and “excellent”.
This property was brilliantly located for proximity to the Singapore River. Some great eateries nearby.
Very minimalist decor - lobby area very comfortable and staff super friendly and welcoming.
Room-apartment has the basics . We stayed for a week in a 2 bedroomed place. Bathroom does not seem to ventilate all that well. Although dishwashing soap was provided no dish cloth or dish scrubber was. When queried we were given a scrubber and told nothing else was needed. Which does leave a question about how clean the dishes in the apartment actually are.
An iron and ironing board was provided on request. We did not use the washing machine so cannot comment.
Being above a vibrant restaurant area and supermarket has the plus of everything nearby but the negative of noise both at night from people and in the morning from supermarket delivery.
Otherwise - clean, roomy, good shower (does wet the entire bathroom).
Would we stay again…. Strong positive
