Whether it’s the end of a tiring day at work or the end of a day well-spent exploring a foreign city, we all look forward to coming home to a comfortable abode. Just picture it: the door shuts behind you. You remove your shoes and free your aching feet before setting down whatever you were holding just a few moments ago.
You enjoy a nice hot shower, maybe even cook up a tasty meal at your elegant kitchenette. And then, you allow yourself to sink into the comfy sofa in the living room. You flick through some of the best television programmes on offer and laze the night away. Finally, you adjourn to your cozy bedroom. Snugged within the embrace of your soft bed and linen sheets, you drift off into a peaceful slumber.

3. It’s fairly private and newly-refurbished
One thing you’ll quickly notice about Winsland Serviced Suites is how quiet it is the moment you enter the main lobby. Despite its classy rooms and suites, one thing to remember is that this establishment is no tourist hotel. This means that the environment is much quieter and private, like a true oasis in the bustling city.
The reception area itself is quite small, and there is often only one or two staff on duty. Rather than projecting a businessy ambiance, the lobby is quaint and welcoming. It's like the reception area of a private apartment block. You won’t find large, noisy tourist groups checking in and out of Winsland Serviced Suites and you can expect your nights to be fairly peaceful.
That is a major plus point, especially if you’re staying long-term and need to do some work at home.

This means that almost everything in the premises is new, spotless and in tip-top condition. It’ll actually feel as if you’ve just just moved into your dream home when you first walk through the doors!
4. Unparalleled convenience and top-notch service
Thanks to its tranquil, homey setting, it’s easy to forget that the suites at Winsland Serviced Suites are serviced suites. That means that there will be cleaners who come daily to tidy up while you’re out. Much like housekeeping services in hotels, you can expect a fresh supply of towels and toiletries and some general cleaning.

The washers and dryers are available to guests throughout the day, provided they aren’t already occupied. Powdered detergent is provided for your convenience and you can also find ironing facilities in your respective rooms and suites.
However, if you need extensive laundry services (such as dry-cleaning), you can approach the front desk and ask for assistance. Do note that extra charges will apply though.
While there aren’t any on-site eateries in Winsland Serviced Suites , there is a charming cafe located right opposite the main entrance. Kith Cafe a popular franchise eatery in Singapore and serves a wide array of delectable selections and tantalising desserts. Take your pick from their extensive menu and enjoy their daily lunch specials for even more value for money.
