Positive: Staff was responsive and helpful. When the washer and dryer were not working, they allowed me to use the other machines on another floor. Also, they brought in a drying rack. Location was very convenient . I had a good time being there for 2 weeks.
Negative: Staff will need to check the washer so that it is functioning properly. The machine was vibrating so loud and even moved with all the vibration. Thankfully, they took care of it. The bed is set up that you can only climb out on one side .
Summary: Comfortable accomodations

Positive:
Room is large and comfy for the price. Staff are friendly and treat guests like family. Location is relatively convenient. Bus routes go into the city center. However, to access the MRT (metro) stations, require to take the bus to get to the stations. Right next door is a large supermarket (NTUC), so groceries are easy to get. Room has a large fridge
Negative:
Issues with some other guests cooking heavy duty food (such as curries or spicy foods), left an aroma in the air around the common areas. This is not a problem with the property, more about other guests
Summary: A comfy stay. A home away from home

Had a great time staying at the Initial Residence. Great location because there's a lot of great places nearby that you can easily walk to. Connectivity by walking is not so bad, however it is quite far from the MRT Station. Staff was very accommodating and friendly.
Negative:
The staff was a bit of a mixed bag. Some are really great and really helpful and some not as helpful as the others. It's fine though, not a huge deal. You just need to be more specific on housekeeping etc.
Summary: Great stay for a long stay in Singapore. Accessible, easy and affordable.

Great location! Immediate access to bus station, shopping center in front with good supermarket. I stayed for 12 days, and the hotel had mini kitchen and nice, large freg and washing machine, so it was really great! The area was super safe with good selection of restaurants. On the second floor of the hotel was a very nice workspace, but my room was super comfortable with great view, so I didn't use the workspace. It was 20 to 30 min bus ride to downtown, so that was great too! Next time I am in Singapore, I will definitely want to stay at the Initial Residence!
Negative:
I wasn't sure when they were going to do housekeeping, sheets change and stuff.
Summary: Great!
