The Family Suites Serviced Apartments

Okay, it's decent for the budget.

This trip to Singapore was mainly for a competition and a bit of sightseeing. Since there was an extra person at the last minute, thankfully we had contacted Ctrip customer service and the host beforehand, and check-in went smoothly. The host arranged two rooms on one floor for us, which was perfect for three men and three women! The beds were bunk beds, and the air conditioning was on, so blankets and towels were provided (although we brought our own). There were no toiletries (we brought our own). A simple buffet breakfast was served from 8-9 am (toast, milk and cereal, coffee and tea, eggs, and fruit). While not as good as a hotel, it was enough to fill us up, and considering the prices outside, it was quite good! The room had a shared kitchen, a refrigerator, and a washing machine – pretty good! The host only spoke Singaporean English and even showed us nearby shops where we could buy daily necessities and suggested places to eat. They also checked on our accommodation! The Malay restaurant nearby was affordable, and their large, half-sweet iced milk tea was amazing! It's close to the MRT Jingwan'an station, and there are buses across the street. Just two MRT stops away, you can get freshly opened durian – it's a great option!

The room was extremely small, with no towels, toiletries, or even shower gel or shampoo. The old man at the front desk was also very inconsiderate. He spent ages asking me to get proof of address and help with my bank card application, and he only issued a proof of address letter after I renewed my lease. Such poor service is simply unimaginable.
