Singapore's serviced apartment market spans 23 published listings across the island's prime central districts — from coliving rooms in the CBD to flagship residences on the Orchard shopping belt — all bookable through Moveandstay's Singapore directory. This guide cuts through the noise with real prices, district-by-district breakdowns, and honest brand assessments drawn directly from our listings, so you can choose with confidence and move in without surprises.
Serviced apartments in Singapore: the quick answer
A serviced apartment is a fully furnished home — complete with a proper kitchen, in-unit laundry, and hotel-style housekeeping — rented on a flexible term that can run from a few nights to a year or more. Unlike a standard Singapore tenancy (which typically involves an agent's commission, a two-year lease, stamp duty, and an unfurnished unit you have to kit out yourself), a serviced apartment is move-in ready on day one, with utilities, Wi-Fi, and basic services bundled into the monthly rate.
They suit a wide range of residents: the corporate assignee who needs a comfortable base without a drawn-out letting process; the relocator caught between leases who wants a month or two to find their feet; the family on an international transfer that needs proper bedrooms and a kitchen; and the long-stay traveller who finds a hotel room feels cramped after a fortnight. What they share is a preference for space, privacy, and self-sufficiency — things Singapore hotels rarely deliver at a comparable monthly price point.

What a Singapore serviced apartment actually includes
The standard package across our Singapore listings goes well beyond a bed and a desk. Here is what you can reliably expect:
- Fully equipped kitchen. Hob, microwave, refrigerator, and a full set of pots, pans, crockery, and cutlery. You can cook a proper meal from day one without buying a single item — a genuine advantage in a city where eating out every night adds up quickly.
- In-unit washer and dryer. Almost every apartment includes a washing machine; many have a combined washer-dryer, which matters in Singapore's humidity where line-drying indoors is slow.
- High-speed Wi-Fi. Included across our listings. Singapore's fibre infrastructure is among the best in the world; connections are generally fast enough for video calls and 4K streaming. Check individual listings if you need a dedicated high-bandwidth work setup.
- Regular housekeeping. Frequency varies — more frequent at the premium end, weekly at mid-range — but all our listings include some scheduled cleaning rather than leaving it entirely to the resident.
- Utilities bundled. Electricity, water, and air-conditioning are usually included in the monthly rate, removing the hassle of opening utility accounts and the unpredictable swing of air-con bills in a tropical climate.
- On-site facilities (varies by property). Many buildings offer a swimming pool, fitness centre, and residents' lounge; some add a business centre or concierge. These vary by property and tier — confirm the specifics on the individual listing before booking.
- 24-hour support. A staffed front desk or call centre at most properties, useful if you are arriving late, locked out, or need help with a maintenance issue.
The practical upshot: arriving in Singapore with two suitcases and walking into a fully functional home — air-con on, fridge ready to stock from the nearest supermarket — is entirely realistic with any of the properties on our list.
How much does a serviced apartment in Singapore cost?
Based on the serviced apartments we currently list in Singapore, self-contained serviced apartments start from S$3,800/month and run up to S$8,716/month, with a median of S$5,966. Coliving rooms — a private room in a shared, fully serviced property — start lower, from S$1,700/month. The table below shows the nine properties with published prices, sorted from lowest to highest. A further 14 listings are available at monthly rates on request; you will find each of them linked in the district and brand sections further down.
| Monthly from (S$) | Property | Brand | District |
|---|---|---|---|
| S$1,700 | Hei Homes — coliving rooms | Hei Homes | Marina / CBD |
| S$3,800 | Wilby Residences | Wilby | Bukit Timah |
| S$4,800 | Fraser Residence Orchard | Frasers Hospitality | Orchard / Tanglin |
| S$5,700 | Wilby Central Serviced Apartments | Wilby | Bugis / Beach Road |
| S$5,966 | Somerset Bencoolen Singapore | Somerset (The Ascott) | Bugis / Beach Road |
| S$6,000 | Le Grove Serviced Residences | Le Grove | Orchard / Tanglin |
| S$8,000 | Aurealis Serviced Residence | Aurealis | Marina / CBD |
| S$8,000 | Treetops Executive Residences | Treetops | Orchard / Tanglin |
| S$8,716 | Great World Serviced Apartments | Great World | River Valley / Robertson |
A note on coliving. Hei Homes (from S$1,700/month) and Owen House by Habyt (rates on request) are coliving properties — you rent a private, furnished bedroom within a larger shared home, with communal kitchen and living areas and shared facilities. They are the most affordable way into a serviced setup in Singapore, and ideal for solo professionals and students who value community and flexibility. They are not self-contained apartments, so if you need your own private kitchen and front door, look to the listings priced from S$3,800/month upward.
What drives price? Four variables do most of the work:
- District. Orchard, Tanglin, Marina, and the CBD command the highest rates; Bukit Timah and the city fringe offer more space for the money. The most affordable self-contained option in our collection, Wilby Residences at S$3,800/month, sits in leafy Bukit Timah.
- Brand tier. Frasers Hospitality, The Ascott, Far East Hospitality, and Pan Pacific Hotels Group operate flagship serviced residences; boutique and independent operators compete more on value and character.
- Apartment size. A studio costs noticeably less than a two- or three-bedroom unit in the same building. Family-sized layouts sit at the top of each property's range.
- Length of stay. Nearly all operators offer better monthly rates for stays of three months or more. If you are committing to six-plus months, it is always worth asking for a long-stay rate.

Choosing your area: a Singapore district guide
Singapore is compact, but its central districts are very different places to live. Our listings are concentrated in the prime central belt, with a handful in well-connected outlying neighbourhoods. Here is an honest summary of each.
Orchard / Tanglin
Orchard and Tanglin form the most represented cluster in our Singapore collection (nine listings) and the natural first stop for many relocators. This is the shopping belt — malls, flagship stores, embassies along Tanglin Road, and the regional headquarters of countless multinationals — which makes it the most concentrated and convenient address in the city. Fraser Residence Orchard (S$4,800/month) is the entry point in this prime district, while Le Grove Serviced Residences (S$6,000/month) and Treetops Executive Residences (S$8,000/month) sit firmly at the premium end. The on-request options here are deep: Adina Singapore Orchard, Ascott Orchard Singapore, Orchard Grand Court Serviced Apartment, Orchard Parksuites, Pan Pacific Serviced Suites Orchard, and Shangri-La Apartments (all at monthly rates on request). If you want to be in the middle of everything, this is where to look first.
River Valley / Robertson
A short walk west of the CBD, River Valley and Robertson Quay trace the Singapore River through one of the city's most enjoyable residential pockets — riverside dining, quayside bars, weekend brunch spots, and an easy walk or short ride into the financial district. It is a long-standing expat favourite for exactly this balance of liveliness and convenience. Great World Serviced Apartments (S$8,716/month) is the flagship and the most expensive listing in our collection, set above the Great World mall and MRT. The cluster is rounded out by Fraser Suites Singapore, Louis Kienne Serviced Apartments, Thanksgiving Serviced Residence, and Village Residence Robertson Quay (all at monthly rates on request).
Marina / CBD
The Marina and Central Business District is Singapore's financial and convention core — glass towers, Marina Bay, Suntec, and the MICE venues that draw business travellers year-round. It is the natural base if your office is in the CBD and you want a commute measured in minutes. Aurealis Serviced Residence (S$8,000/month) offers a self-contained option in the heart of the district, while Hei Homes (coliving rooms from S$1,700/month) provides by far the most affordable way to live centrally — a private room in a shared, serviced home rather than a self-contained flat.
Bugis / Beach Road
Bugis and Beach Road blend arts and heritage with genuine value. This is the Kampong Glam and Bras Basah quarter — independent cafés, museums, the historic Arab Street district — alongside the Suntec convention belt, and it consistently undercuts Orchard on price for a comparably central location. Wilby Central Serviced Apartments (S$5,700/month) and Somerset Bencoolen Singapore (S$5,966/month) anchor the district with published rates, joined by Pan Pacific Serviced Suites Beach Road and PARKROYAL Serviced Suites Singapore (both at monthly rates on request). For value-seekers who still want to be central, this is the district to shortlist.
Beyond the centre: Novena / Farrer Park, Bukit Timah and Hougang
Three quieter neighbourhoods round out the collection, each with a distinct character and a single standout listing.
Novena / Farrer Park is Singapore's medical hub — home to major hospitals and specialist clinics — and well connected on the North-South Line, yet noticeably calmer than the Orchard belt just one or two stops away. Owen House by Habyt (coliving, rates on request) is our listing here: a private room in a shared, serviced home, well suited to medical professionals on rotation or anyone who wants a community-led base near the hospitals.
Bukit Timah is leafy and residential, prized for its proximity to nature reserves and to several of Singapore's top international schools. It trades central buzz for space and greenery, which makes it a perennial favourite with families. Wilby Residences (S$3,800/month) is both our listing here and the most affordable self-contained serviced apartment in the entire collection.
Hougang, in the north-east, is the value play: a settled suburban neighbourhood, well connected on the MRT and the North East Line, where your budget stretches noticeably further than in the centre. Village Residence Hougang (rates on request) is the option here — practical and well-priced for longer assignments where being in the thick of Orchard simply isn't a priority.

The serviced-apartment brands in Singapore
Knowing what each operator stands for helps you match expectations before you book. Singapore's market is led by a handful of major hospitality groups, alongside boutique operators and coliving specialists.
Frasers Hospitality
A Singapore-headquartered global operator with a strong home-market presence. In our collection it runs Fraser Residence Orchard (S$4,800/month) and Fraser Suites Singapore (rates on request) in River Valley. The "Fraser Residence" and "Fraser Suites" lines are polished, full-service serviced residences with a reputation for consistency on housekeeping and facilities — a dependable choice for corporate assignees.
The Ascott / CapitaLand
One of the largest serviced residence operators in the world, with several brands under one roof. We list Somerset Bencoolen Singapore (S$5,966/month, the Somerset line) in Bugis, and Ascott Orchard Singapore (rates on request, the flagship Ascott line) on the shopping belt. Somerset sits at the mid-to-upper tier and is well suited to couples and families; the Ascott line is the group's premium flagship positioning.
Far East Hospitality
A major Singapore operator whose "Village Residence" line spreads across the island. We list three: Orchard Parksuites in the Orchard belt, Village Residence Robertson Quay on the river, and Village Residence Hougang in the north-east (all at monthly rates on request). The geographic spread is the point: Far East gives you a consistent, well-run product across very different price points and neighbourhoods.
Pan Pacific Hotels Group
The group behind the Pan Pacific and PARKROYAL serviced-suite lines. We list Pan Pacific Serviced Suites Orchard, Pan Pacific Serviced Suites Beach Road, and PARKROYAL Serviced Suites Singapore (all at monthly rates on request). These are hotel-grade serviced suites with the service standards you would expect from an established hotel group — a good fit for guests who want hotel polish with apartment space.
Boutique and independent
Several independent operators add character and choice across the price range. Wilby Residences (S$3,800/month, Bukit Timah) and Wilby Central Serviced Apartments (S$5,700/month, Bugis) are run by Wilby; Le Grove Serviced Residences (S$6,000/month) and Treetops Executive Residences (S$8,000/month) are well-established Orchard-area names; Aurealis Serviced Residence (S$8,000/month) sits in the CBD; and Great World Serviced Apartments (S$8,716/month) tops the collection in River Valley. Rounding out the independents at monthly rates on request are Orchard Grand Court, Shangri-La Apartments, Louis Kienne Serviced Apartments, and Thanksgiving Serviced Residence.
Coliving
For solo residents who value affordability and community over a private front door, two coliving operators feature in our collection. Hei Homes (private rooms from S$1,700/month, Marina/CBD) and Owen House by Habyt (rates on request, Novena/Farrer Park) each offer a furnished private bedroom within a shared, serviced home — communal kitchens and living spaces, utilities and Wi-Fi included, and flexible terms. They are a distinct product from the self-contained apartments above, and the most budget-friendly way to live centrally.
Sizes, lease terms and who they suit
Our Singapore collection runs from coliving rooms and studios up to spacious two- and three-bedroom residences. The configuration shapes who each property is best for:
- Solo professionals and students. A coliving room or a studio gives you a private, serviced base without paying for space you won't use. Coliving adds a ready-made community — useful if you are new to the city.
- Couples. A studio or one-bedroom works comfortably for two; a one-bedroom with a separate living area gives you room for a home office.
- Families on transfer. A two- or three-bedroom unit with a full kitchen is the right size, and far more practical than adjoining hotel rooms. Bukit Timah and the Orchard/Tanglin residences are popular with families for their space and school proximity.
- Colleagues sharing. Two people in a two-bedroom apartment can each have a room while splitting the cost, bringing the effective per-person rate down.
On lease terms: short stays (under a month) are priced like extended hotel rooms — convenient and flexible, but with a higher effective nightly cost. Monthly bookings are where serviced apartments become genuinely compelling against alternative Singapore accommodation, with the all-in cost (rent, utilities, Wi-Fi, housekeeping) typically lower than a comparable hotel over the same period. From three months onward, most operators will negotiate a reduced long-stay rate. For the detail on minimum stays, deposits, and contract specifics, read our guide to typical lease terms for serviced apartments in Singapore and our short-term rentals guide.
Getting around: transport and location
Singapore's public transport is one of the best reasons to base yourself centrally and skip a car altogether. For a serviced apartment resident, proximity to an MRT station matters more than almost any other location factor.
The MRT network. Singapore's Mass Rapid Transit system is clean, punctual, air-conditioned, and comprehensive across the island, with the central districts in our collection — Orchard, River Valley, Marina/CBD, and Bugis — all served by multiple lines and interchanges. A single contactless bank card or an EZ-Link card gets you through every gate, and journeys between central districts typically take well under twenty minutes. Even the outlying listings are deliberately MRT-connected: Novena sits on the North-South Line, Hougang on the North East Line.
Changi Airport access. One of Singapore's quiet advantages is how close the whole island is to its airport. Changi is on the MRT directly, and most central serviced apartments are within a 20–30 minute taxi or ride-hail trip — a real benefit for anyone flying frequently for work.
Walkability. The central districts are genuinely walkable, with sheltered walkways and underground links shielding you from sun and the afternoon downpours. River Valley and Robertson Quay in particular reward residents who like to walk to dinner along the river. For a detailed look at how well connected each property is, see our guide on public transport access from serviced apartments in Singapore.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a serviced apartment in Singapore cost per month?
Based on the serviced apartments currently listed on Moveandstay, self-contained serviced apartments in Singapore range from S$3,800 to S$8,716 per month, with a median of S$5,966. Coliving rooms — a private bedroom in a shared, serviced home — start lower, from S$1,700/month. The entry point for a self-contained apartment is Wilby Residences in Bukit Timah at S$3,800/month, while Great World Serviced Apartments in River Valley tops the range at S$8,716/month. Most mid-range options fall between roughly S$4,800 and S$6,000/month.
What is the minimum stay for a serviced apartment in Singapore?
Minimum stays vary by property. Most serviced apartments in Singapore accept monthly bookings, and many allow shorter stays at a higher effective nightly rate. If you need a stay of less than a month, check the individual listing or contact the property directly. For stays of three months or longer, you will often qualify for a negotiated long-stay rate that is lower than the standard monthly figure.
Do serviced apartments in Singapore include utilities?
Yes — the vast majority of serviced apartments in Singapore include electricity, water, air-conditioning, and high-speed Wi-Fi in the quoted monthly rate. This is one of the key practical advantages over a standard Singapore tenancy, where you would set up and pay for utilities separately. Housekeeping and linen services are also typically bundled, though the frequency varies by property tier.
Which Singapore district has the most serviced apartments?
Orchard and Tanglin together hold the most in our current Singapore collection, with nine listings. As the city's shopping belt, embassy row, and home to many multinational headquarters, it is the most concentrated and convenient cluster for relocators. River Valley / Robertson follows with five, and Bugis / Beach Road has four.
Are serviced apartments in Singapore suitable for families?
Yes. Two- and three-bedroom serviced apartments include full kitchens and proper separate bedrooms, which makes them far more practical for families than adjoining hotel rooms. Bukit Timah is a particular favourite with families for its greenery, space, and proximity to several top international schools, and the full-service residences in the Orchard and Tanglin area offer family-sized layouts close to the shopping belt. See our guide to the best areas for expats in Singapore for more on family-friendly neighbourhoods.
How do serviced apartments in Singapore compare to renting a standard apartment?
A standard Singapore tenancy typically involves an agent's commission, a security deposit, stamp duty on the lease, and a commitment of one to two years — and you usually rent the unit unfurnished, then kit it out yourself. A serviced apartment bypasses all of this: no agent's fee, no long lease, no stamp-duty paperwork, and the unit arrives fully furnished with utilities, Wi-Fi, and housekeeping included. The headline monthly cost is higher than a bare rental for equivalent space, but the total cost and effort of moving in — and out — is considerably lower.
What is the best area in Singapore for a serviced apartment?
There is no single best area — it depends on your priorities. For corporate assignees who want to be in the middle of everything, Orchard / Tanglin is the natural choice. For CBD workers, Marina / CBD puts you minutes from the office. River Valley / Robertson suits those who want riverside dining and nightlife with an easy walk into town, while Bugis / Beach Road offers a central, characterful base at better value. Families often prefer the greenery and schools of Bukit Timah. Read our expat area guide for more detail.
Can I extend my stay at a serviced apartment in Singapore?
In most cases, yes — subject to availability. Serviced apartment operators generally prefer stable, longer-staying residents and will often accommodate extensions. It is good practice to notify the property at least two to four weeks before your scheduled departure if you want to extend, particularly in a high-occupancy building. Longer stays of three months or more may also qualify for a reduced monthly rate at the point of renewal.
