My friend and I stayed for two nights in a twin shared room. The room was modern, spacious, and had air conditioning, which was perfect for the Singapore heat. The bathroom was also modern and surprisingly large for the price we paid, and it included a bidet.
We appreciated the communal kitchen and lounge area on Level 4, where we could refill our water bottles with filtered water. On our last day, we needed to do laundry before heading to another country, and it was very convenient to have a washer and dryer in the basement. The machines had a coin dispenser, and the washing machine didn’t require detergent as it was already built in. Our clothes came out smelling great. It cost $8 SGD to wash and another $8 to dry, so we combined our laundry to save on costs, which worked out well.
The staff were also fantastic. Winson at reception was especially helpful. One of the machines took our money but didn’t work, and he kindly refunded us so we could use another. He was friendly and accommodating throughout our stay.
It’s also just a 2-minute walk to Farrer Park Station, which connects to other MRT lines, making it easy to get to Chinatown, Harbourfront, Marina Bay, Gardens by the Bay, and Merlion Park. City Square Mall is also just 2 minutes away, which is super handy for lunch, dinner, shopping, groceries, and pharmacy needs.
Overall, our experience at Owen House really added to our visit to Singapore. I will definitely stay here again when I return.
