Who This Residence Suits (and Who It Doesn’t)
This listing is a room within a five-bedroom apartment at 100 Oxley Rise, Singapore. It is suitable for students or young professionals who prioritize a central location and are comfortable sharing living spaces with up to four other housemates. The apartment is part of a serviced building with communal amenities — a swimming pool, laundry facilities, and common areas. The minimum lease is three months, making it a practical option for those on semester‑long exchange programmes, internships, or short‑term work placements.
Suits you if:
- You want to live within walking distance of Orchard Road and three MRT stations (10–15 minutes on foot, per verified reviews).
- You are open to shared living: a five‑bedroom configuration with a shared kitchen, living room, and bathroom (non‑ensuite room).
- You value a well‑equipped apartment: in‑unit washing machine, bright interiors, and ample storage space.
- You need a flexible lease of 3+ months without locking into a full year.
- You appreciate a building with extra facilities such as a pool (noted as cold by one guest but available).
Does not suit you if:
- You require an ensuite bathroom or more privacy — this is a non‑ensuite room in a multi‑occupancy apartment.
- You plan to stay for less than three months.
- You prefer a quieter, less tourist‑focused area; Oxley Rise is close to the Orchard Road shopping belt, which can be busy.
- You need a property with a dedicated study room or large desk space — the apartment is described as spacious but no dedicated study areas are mentioned.
- You are budget‑sensitive at the very low end: although Singapore’s citywide starting price for student housing is around SGD 207 per month (indicative — confirm with the operator), this property’s price is not published and may be higher given its prime location and serviced‑apartment features.
What Residents Actually Say
The property holds a Google rating of 4.3 from 561 reviews. Here are verbatim excerpts from three reviews that reflect the general experience:
“I had the pleasure of staying at this serviced apartment for two months, and I can confidently say that it exceeded all of my expectations. The apartment itself was spacious, comfortable, and exceptionally well-equipped such as a washing machine made my long stay which felt very much like a home away from home.” — KhruangD, ⭐5
“We really enjoyed our stay here. The location is perfect—it’s a convenient 10–15 minute walk from three different metro stations, making it very easy to get around the city. The building has some great perks: Refreshing pool: Although the water was quite cold, it was a nice way to wake up in the morning.” — Sebastián Jurík, ⭐5
“Excellent location and service. We spent 8 days at this apartment, and it was so close to being a perfect 5‑star experience. The location is unbeatable, with Orchard Road just a 10‑minute walk away, and the apartment itself was bright, clean, and offered plenty of storage space. The service was truly exceptional.” — Heidi J. Bjergstad, ⭐4
Common themes: the location is the standout feature — easy access to transport and shopping. The apartment is bright, clean, and well‑stored. The service is praised. Minor downsides: the pool water was cold, and one guest felt it was “so close to being perfect” (implying some small imperfections not specified). Overall, residents consistently recommend the property for its central location and comfortable setup.
Price Positioning vs the City’s From-Price
The citywide “from price” for student housing in Singapore is approximately SGD 207 per month (indicative — confirm with the operator). That figure represents the lowest‑cost option across 129 properties listed on the platform, likely a hostel‑style bed or a very basic room. This property at 100 Oxley Rise does not have a published price — you will need to confirm directly with the operator. However, given its address in District 9 (near Orchard Road), its serviced‑apartment amenities (pool, laundry, concierge), and its Google rating of 4.3, you should expect it to be well above the city’s entry‑level price.
If you are comparing value: the lower end of the market (SGD 207–500) typically covers shared dorms or older HDB flats further from the city centre. This apartment is targeted at those who are willing to pay a premium for convenience and quality. Always verify the final monthly rent with the operator before committing — the figure is indicative only.
Room Type Guidance
This listing is for one room in a five‑bedroom apartment. Key specifications:
- Room type: Non‑ensuite (shared bathroom with other housemates).
- Unit type: Independent house / serviced apartment — the entire apartment is self‑contained with its own kitchen and living area.
- Facilities: In‑unit washing machine, shared kitchen, shared living room, building swimming pool, laundry facility (tagged).
- Lease: Minimum 3 months, monthly billing.
Given the five‑bedroom layout, you will be living with up to four other people. The apartment is described as “spacious” by guests, and the storage space is highlighted positively. If you are someone who values a large private bathroom or a very quiet study environment, a studio or one‑bedroom unit might be better — though at a higher cost. The non‑ensuite arrangement is typical for shared student housing and keeps costs lower than a private studio.
Booking Timing
The property is currently tagged as not available on the platform — this may mean it has no current vacancies. However, availability can change quickly, especially for the 2026–2027 academic year. For stays starting in 2026 or 2027, it is wise to start exploring at least three to six months ahead. Peak intake periods (August and January) see high demand in central Singapore.
Because the minimum lease is three months, you could potentially book for a semester (e.g., a spring or fall term) or a short internship. If you are planning a longer stay (≥12 months), you may need to check whether the operator allows lease extensions beyond the initial term.
Action steps:
- Contact the operator directly to ask about future availability and pricing.
- Note that the price is not listed — get a written quote.
- If the property is fully booked, ask if similar apartments in the same building or nearby Oxley Rise are available.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this room close to universities?
The apartment is in central Singapore, near Orchard Road. Travel time to the city’s main universities (e.g., National University of Singapore, Nanyang Technological University) is about 20–40 minutes by MRT, depending on the campus. It is most convenient for institutions located in the central area or along the Circle Line and North‑South Line.
Are utilities and internet included?
The listing does not specify. You must confirm with the operator whether the monthly rent covers utilities (water, electricity, gas) and internet. Many serviced apartments in Singapore include these in the rent, but shared apartments sometimes charge separately. Ask the operator before signing.
What is the cancellation policy?
Cancellation terms are not provided in the data. Since this is a property managed by a third‑party operator, you should request the full terms in writing — particularly the notice period for early termination and any penalties. Standard serviced apartments often require 30 days’ notice for cancellations made after check‑in.
