KēSa House by The Unlimited Collection

We really enjoyed our stay at Kesa House! Shoutout to Nicole for helping to coordinate a lovely suprise message for my partner’s birthday on a short notice, and also giving us an early check-in. The superior room is super cozy and clean. Really loved how quaint and pretty everything looked. The location was superb too - lots of trendy bars and restaurants outside and just a 5 min walk to the nearest mrt station. The staff were super helpful with all my questions too. All in all, very satisfied! Just be aware that there might be a bit of noise from the street below and from the MRT, if you’re a light sleeper - but this didn’t affect me that much

Booked far in advance for a standard room at $125USD (including all fees and taxes) per night. Easy $35USD (without tip), 25 minute taxi ride to the hotel from the international airport. Super friendly staff who surprised us with a nice upgrade to a room with windows (not included in our standard rate). The place is located in a great location right in the middle of Chinatown and near Maxwell hawker center and walking distance to two different metro stops. Unfortunately, it is on a busy road and right beside an outdoor bar that stays open and loud until at least midnight so DEFINITELY BRING EAR PLUGS. No restaurant here but they do have a nice community kitchen with FREE tea/coffee/cookies/ filtered water. The whole place seems very new and modern and clean. Rooms are small but what we expect in a big city and booking a cheap rate. There was a big step up /down into the bathroom and they don't provide hand soap at the sink, a wash rag, or a hand towel (I confirmed with our friend staying in another room that this was the same in their room too). So you end up having to use the small container of shower soap gel and your bath towel for everything, which is a little different (but perhaps normal in Singapore IDK). Staff are very friendly and helpful with tips and ideas for eating. Overall, we had a great stay and enjoyed our time here. For their reasonable rates, it is hard to beat the location and cleanliness of this place in the big city, but just be prepared for the street/ bar noise.

the front desk/receptionists were so sweet and welcoming! i didn't manage to catch their names, but it really pleasantly surprised us when they upgraded our room to a premier one for free :) it made our experience even better! the room was spacious and we had a private mini yard with a table and chairs to enjoy the sun. room was well lit with sunlight and it felt like we were travelling overseas even though it was just a staycay 🥹 the pantry/kitchen is very thoughtful, enjoyed the free flow sparkling/still water on tap. admittedly, as the hotel is on a lively street with bars and late night restaurants, there's bound to be loud music and sound of people during the weekends, but i didn't mind as the place was so convenient and there's a lot of good food and cafes nearby.

A fantastic location to explore Singapore. Less than 5 min walk to tube and China town on doorstep, offering best hawker food market. Rooms and bathroom are small but well designed. If you are sensitive to noise this might not be the hotel for you as it’s right in the heart and music from bars nearby and early morning refuse collection do wake you. Hallways are also noisy but must say room to room noise is very minimal. We are happy with general noise so this didn’t bother us. Communal kitchen was an added bonus.

For that kind of price, you’d expect at least a minimal welcome and some friendly service at the front desk upon arrival. Around midnight on a Thursday when we checked in, the staff member greeted us with a cold “passport please.” No eye contact, no smile, just rude. Honestly, that kind of attitude feels more suited to a gas station than a hotel. It leaves a really bad impression of the Ascott brand. I’m giving 3 stars only because we stayed a couple of days earlier on this trip, and the daytime service was somewhat more acceptable.

We stayed a week in KeSa House and really enjoyed our stay! Both our little room on the third floor and the common relax-room combined with the common kitchen were functional, cozy and very clean. It was amazing to begin the morning with a cup of tea or coffee on the terrace in fresh air. The hotel’s location was great too - lots of cafés and restaurants in the same street and nearby. It is just a 5 minutes’ walk to the nearest metro station. Just two stops and you are in the center of Marina Bay. The staff were very attentive to our questions and extremely helpful. All in all, we are very thankful to all stuff and will stay here next time we are in Singapore!

Second time here. Very well located in Chinatown. Close to many bars, eateries and railway stations. Comfortable if compact room. Shared kitchen with ice machine, dining area, tea and coffee supplied as well as fridge. Late checkout of 12 pm is great. The staff are really friendly and we will certainly be back. Fully recommend.

July 2025 For a bit of change in scenery, stay in a heritage shoplot converted to a guesthouse. It has it charm and quaint-ness. Pros 1. Has a small shared kitchenette shared by all 2. Outram Park MRT - 450 metres walk (nice view along the way). 3. Plenty of higher end F&B outlets (+ a smattering of local eats) within 5 mins walk from the hotel 4. Location is pretty good and close to Chinatown. Very walkable and plenty of area to explore 5. Heritage view just right out of the hotel entrance Cons 1. Rooms are rather smaller on the 2nd floor 2. No bottled water in the room - you need to go to the kitchenette to refill glass jugs (guess walking is good exercise) 3. Internet speed is rather slow-er (comparatively) vs other hotels (7.64 Mbps DL / 7.65 UL) 4. Not all TV channels working. Some of the channels freezes and you don't get any image. Tips 1. Book rooms on the 3rd floor with the skylight. They are larger than the 2nd floor units 2. Can hear faint music on rooms located on the 2nd floor. This could be from the F&B on the ground floor (not part of the hotel)
