Property's Favourite Review
The apartments are located at the Great World mall. The new brown subway line has a stop at great world, from there you can quickly visit all of Singapore. We rented a 2 bedroom appartment to have amply space to put our luggage. Apartments are brand new, very modern, very clean, large, have a fully equipped kitchen and come with dishwasher, wahings machine and dryer. 4 AC units keep the place cool.
Reception was excellent (for some reason the reception is outside) and we got a keycard for room/elevator/access gates and a EZ-card for the subway.
Rooms are very quiet, excellent insulation from noise from inside/outside. In the great mall you have an excellent grocery store and a starbucks.

We booked a one bedroom apt and was upgraded to a 2bedroom apt on top floor(penthouse floor). Apartment was in good layout, comes with a terrace. But fixtures are pretty old and worn out, bathrooms are very tiny(this is one thing I don’t like). Kitchen is well equipped. It has one Nespresso machine but they only give you 3pc coffee capsules for my 18days stay, you need to pay if you want more. Bathroom toilettries also provided once only (@30ml ). Housekeeping twice weekly, replacing towels and bedsheets.

Dear Siwit_07, Thank you for staying at Great World Serviced Apartments. We are glad that you like our apartment layout and well-equipped kitchen in general. We are so sorry that your experience falls short of expectations. To serve our residents better, our apartments are currently undergoing refurbishments in phases. As the Nespresso capsules and bathroom toiletries are part of our welcome amenities, we do not provide any top-up. We value your feedback and will work on providing bathroom toiletries for short stays guests. We do, however, run various promotions that provide complimentary Nespresso capsules. Great World mall is also right at your doorstep if you require to purchase Nespresso capsules or toiletries. We hope to have you return and experience our renovated apartments soon.

Our stay at Great World was very good overall. The rooms were spacious, the pool is enormous and the location was very convenient for the Great World shopping mall - which has a huge selection of restaurants and food court options, as well as supermarkets, clothing and electrical retail outlets.
The room was due for a bit of a refresh as it was a little dated and the aircon dripped a little. The front desk, concierge and cleaning staff were all very friendly and helpful and made our stay an enjoyable one.

We had a very pleasant 6 weeks stay. Very friendly staff (both reservation dept and staff at serviced apartments). Layout of the 3 bedroom refurbished apartments is great and also the interior is very efficiently and functional designed. Masterbedroom is away from the kids room. The room had beds which can be folded against the wall and turn into desks so the kids can do their homework. Location is very convenient and parking is easily available (just the entrance is a bit narrow).

We stayed for a month as a family of 3 (2 adults and a teenager) with a large dog on our way out of Singapore (where we have lived since 1998). In short, we loved the location and also found it very convenient for the dog (despite having initial reservations). Service levels were high, the facilities / amenities good (especially the pool), and having GWC mall next door for all that one might need is an absolute luxury. The Zion Rd area offers lots of great walkways and eateries, etc. and is only a stone's throw from the Orchard Rd area. The only thing we didn't like so much in the ap't (a 2 bedroom original set up) were the washer / dryer system, which was a bit archaic and took some getting used to. Otherwise, I'd highly recommend the experience to those new or old to Singapore alike. We plan to do it again, the next time hopefully as part of a post-pandemic family reunion involving our 2 older boys as well (family of 5 total).

Fantastic location, excellent apartment as its not easy to get three bedroomed apartments at this price. We were five of us and the room sizes were great for our 5 day stay. Kitchen was well stocked. Concierge service was great and whenever we had an issues, it was resolved quickly. I would recommend this location. Few minor points to consider - please take a stock of shampoo and soaps as the standard service is only for two people even though five are staying. Pillows are not foam which can be an issue for some.

I stayed at GWSA for ~5 months when I relocated from Aus to SG for work. Despite it being COVID and a strange time to relocate, the staff made me feel home away from home. They were super helpful with any request I had, and the service was brilliant, one time my A/C had broken and it was fixed within an hour.
The pool is fantastic (nearly 50m!), and there are tennis and basketball courts also. Unfortunately the gym was shut for some of my time there due to COVID but was a good facility when I did go.
The location is perfect. Above Great World shopping centre, easy for groceries, and right near Zion Hawker for good food. You are basically on the river which is perfect for walks.
Don't be put off by the lack of MRT nearby, there is a daily shuttle to the CBD which takes ~10 mins, and you can walk back along the river.
Thanks to all the team at Great World for a wonderful stay.

Dear Caitlin, Thank you for staying at Great World Serviced Apartments, it was a pleasure serving you. We appreciate the time taken to share your feedback with us. We’re glad you felt comfortable and at home during your stay with us. We are greatly appreciative of your heartwarming compliment for our team’s service. They will be highly motivated as it adds fuel to their passion. Even though our gym is closed due to the Covid situation, we are glad that you have enjoyed it before the closure, not forgetting our outdoor facilities like our swimming pool and tennis court. It was a brilliant idea to take our morning shuttle to CBD and take a stroll back along the river to our apartments! With the upcoming Great World MRT, we hope it will increase the convenience to travel around. If not, the Great World Mall and Zion hawker adjoining to us have all that you need! We hope you return and have a comfortable stay with us soon! Great World Serviced Apartments Team

The place is a building site. One half of the building is being renovated and as a result there is constant noise from the building works and drilling. Often building materials are lying in the corridors. The owners of the Poolside Cafe have left because nobody uses the pool because of the building noise. There are air locks in the drainage system in the apartments which creates constant noise through the night. The drains in both showers smell. There has been quite a few Cockroaches' and geckos in the apartment when kitche door is open. The WiFi in the apartment is very weak and keeps streaming. The apartments are tiled floors and very noisy above and below. The beds a very uncomfortable. The spare room has two small beds that pull down from the wall which may be ok for children but no good for adults. It is a pet friendly building and that means there are lots of dogs and with all the wet weather you often encounter these smelly animals in the lift. It's hard to find anything good to say about the place. Definitely not good value for this overpriced place.

Dear Mr Alexander, Thank you for having taken time to rate your experience. It is concerning to know about your experience, and please accept my sincerest apologies. Your comments have highlighted multiple areas in which we have not delivered and we are looking into each of them with our respective leaders. Regarding your feedback on the closure of the Poolside Café, you may like to know that an email circular was sent on 19 February 2023 to all guests informing them that a new poolside café operator will start its operations from April 2023 with a new and improved menu. We thank you for your kind understanding in this. Our guests’ satisfaction is of utmost importance, and this is the reason for our continuous efforts to make further improvements with the ongoing refurbishment program. We will be reaching out to you for a coffee session so we can personally address and resolve your concerns. With warmest regards, Irene Fong Resident Manager

Superb central location a 1 minute walk from a classy and practical shopping mall (with some good restaurants/cafes) and just 5 minutes from the river makes this a great choice. Coupled with really friendly and efficient staff it more than compensates for the slightly dated feel of the rooms. The pool is enormous and never too crowded and there is a tennis court and decent gym. Would recommend for location, convenience and ambience.

The personal is friendly and very diligent. It's clean every where. Technicians come over to your room very quickly whenever you need. Facilities were still under reforming for some of them. However, the almost 50m meter pool is just wonderful. Located just next to the shopping center is perfect. Anything you need even for a late diner is down there in less few minutes. As for the business meetings, the room is also convenient though it was under covid restrictions at my time.
