Staying in Singapore has always been our dream. I only knew it through my aunt, who decided to work there for the family. After a few Google searches on the internet, I became hooked!

Despite its tiny size, the city attracts many tourists worldwide because of its built heritage, skyscrapers, and other cultural landmarks. Aside from its physical attributes, Singapore is also a melting pot of numerous nationalities.

My husband and I saved a lot of money to make sure that we get the chance to visit the city. We planned to stay for at least 3 weeks as part of our honeymoon. It means we will need a staycation apartment in Singapore as our temporary home.

Our itinerary had so many activities listed. It was only natural that we needed a place to stay where we would be comfortable. Luckily, my aunt recommended Great World Serviced Apartments! They offered me a short term apartment rental that was the right one for me.

How I Choose Our Short Term Apartment

A service apartment staycation in Singapore provides many of the same amenities and comforts as a regular hotel but in a bigger, more flexible, and more cost-effective package. It's perfect for tourists like me who vacation for more than one week because it gives a more comfortable environment.

Hotels can be pricey, especially if you're going to pay for your stay a day. However, you can pay a lower package fee than a hotel with a staycation apartment in Singapore since they make it for tourists like us.

Convenience

I chose a one-bedroom apartment since I would only travel with my husband. It was our first time travelling so you can tell that it was special for us both. Aside from the one-bedroom, you can also choose their 2 and 3 bedroom suite in Singapore if you’ll be staying with your friends and family.

I found Great World Serviced Apartments when I looked for places near the city. I chose to research the Orchard road serviced apartment areas since it's almost 8-10 minutes away from Singapore's central business area.

It is travel-friendly because it offers different restaurants and coffee shops only a few minutes away from our apartment.

Comfort

Another important consideration in deciding your staycation apartment in Singapore is whether or not it is comfortable. My husband hates dirty areas that feel like nobody has cleaned them in ages. However, this company provided us with a short term apartment rental we both loved!

They offer fully furnished apartments, and their interior screams luxury, even with a budget-friendly price. The furniture and amenities fit our needs perfectly without any inconvenience.

They gave us comfort and style at the same time!

Facilities

One factor that affects a customer's stay and review is their facilities. It will let you know whether the money you paid is worth your visit.

Since we were going to stay for 2-3 weeks, they were one of our considerations. We were lucky enough because our service apartment staycation in Singapore had the best facilities we could ask for.

They have a lounge area to enjoy a relaxing and quiet time. I was there most of the time because it was the perfect spot to read books. You can also order beverages like coffee in their Starbucks self-service kiosk. They also had a work area and a meeting room for business discussions.

They even had a playroom for kids! But what I loved most about our staycation apartment in Singapore was the gym and the pool. The pool, which is the largest in the neighbourhood because it's Olympic size, is suitable for daily laps.

If you prefer a more relaxing swimming time, you can also enjoy their jacuzzi hot tub!

Aside from that, they also considered daily necessities since the shopping mall was near that we only needed to walk to get there. If we want to go to CBD, we only need to take a ride on their offered shuttle, and we’ll be there in no time.

It made me wish our short term apartment rental was long term! It was like living the dream my husband and I wanted for our future.

Customer Service

When choosing your staycation apartment in Singapore, it’s also essential to check if they provide the customer service that you can rely on, especially in emergencies. I'm glad we chose Great World Serviced Apartments because their helpers, guards, housekeepers and staff assisted us with everything we needed.

Do I recommend Great World Serviced Apartments?

We felt so welcome when we arrived and when we left. Great World Serviced Apartments accommodated us from the start of our stay until the end. If we were to look for another Orchard road’s serviced apartment, we would most likely choose them again.

To sum it all up, I highly recommend the service apartment staycation of Great World Serviced Apartments in Singapore! They give you hotel-like services while making you feel at home.
