K2 Guesthouse

I stayed for 2 nights in a detached small room-shared bathrooms, on the patio/deck of the hotel, with easy and private access. The room was perfectly clean, everything looked new; it was very private. The room size may not be very big, but it was good for me to get dressed, be comfortable and rest. The ladies in reception were very kind and patient with me. There is a supermarket, literally crossing the street, with very kind staff, too (by the way). The bathrooms were clean and practical. The area looked and felt totally safe and clean.

The staff was very helpful. They really took care of my special requests and provided me with the best room. The breakfast spread was really nice and the location is very accessible with a bus stop right opposite and another one within few hundred metres. There are many shops and eating places close by too. Do visit their terrace once, especially towards Sunset. The views are lovely.

Nice and clean, with an outdoor area with tables and chairs and a sofa and coffee table. There is also the kitchen area at the covered outdoor area with a microwave, water dispenser, sink, vending machine, etc. Water dispenser and kettle in one inside the room, and a small fridge. Comfy room with a two door wardrobe, suitcase rack, clothes hanger, and a desk with a comfortable chair. There was also a hair dryer in the bedside table´s drawer. Iron and ironing board on demand.

Everything great here!. Humble and friendly staffs, good breakfast, beautiful and convenient location, specially I had work at NUH, so it was easy for me to move. Bus available just at the doorstep. For MRT you need to walk 7/8 minutes which is fine. Water filter in the room is a big big plus. They have tea bags, water placed to make tea coffee at the reception area. The reception area is beautifully decorated. The neighborhood is calm and quiet, away from the city, very lush and green, nice walkways around, coffee shops, restaurants, bars all nearby the Guesthouse. I strongly recommend this place.

Back in Malaysia, I was browsing through the Internet for an affordable hotel close to NUS when I found this amazing deal, and after a few more searches I've decided it was the best deal there was to offer. My mother was asking for some of the locals for help, but even they were surprised by its affordability. The breakfast catering changed on a daily basis, and it was definitely the reason for me to wake up early every morning. Facilities-wise, there's enough things to make a student happy: a vending machine just outside the doorsteps of the alley, a kettle and a fridge for my unhealthy instant noodles and milk tea; there's even a multi-adapter, although only two out of the four sockets worked. However, despite the stunningly low prices and the close proximity, the one thing I liked the most was the friendliness of each and every one of the staff, from the receptionists to the cleaners. One day I decided to switch the position of my pillow to the opposite end of the bed to face the air-conditioner. The next day when I returned to my room, I found my bed arranged in the reversed direction. It was a simple but thoughtful gesture. On the day of my departure, I had one last breakfast before I left. It was possible for me to walk on foot with a 30kg luggage to the hostel.
