Gut: Sauberkeit, Ausstattung und Zustand der Unterkunft
My partner and I stayed two weeks in a second floor studio room which had washing and cooking facilities.
The washing was invaluable, as it is so hot in Singapore, clothes only get a single use.
The cooking facilities were basic, but it's cheaper to eat out at a hawker than buying groceries at the nearby cold storage. We did cook a couple of times, but nothing elaborate.
The bed was a little hard for my liking, but the pillows were very comfy. Be aware that the soundproofing of the rooms is not great. We were lucky the first week, all was quiet, but the second week our neighbours turned their TV up very loud. We could also hear the music from something nearby in the mornings on the weekend. We suspected this was a local exercise class.
The bathroom was fine and the rainfall shower had good pressure. The downside was that it would spray everywhere, soaking the floor. The room should really come with a squeegee mop or similar to deal with wet floors in the 3-4 days between room service.
As everything got wet so often, there was a dehumidifier supplied in the room which we had to keep running 24/7. This increased the noise levels throughout the room, so if you are a light sleeper, it could be difficult.
The location is about 15 minutes walk from an MRT station with some slight hills. There is a shuttle bus that runs between Orchard and New Bahru, but it only runs from midday until 8pm.
Overall Alma House is a decent place to stay if you are okay with the walking and the noise.
