Overview & Location
64 Horne Road is a student accommodation property located in the Singapore district with postal code 369974. The building is positioned at latitude 1.3102 and longitude 103.8612, placing it within walking distance of Lavender and Bendemeer MRT stations — a detail confirmed by multiple guest reviews. The property is tagged as “new” and “featured” on its listing platform, suggesting it has recently become available for student tenancy.
The surrounding area provides access to common amenities such as convenience stores, food courts, and public transport links. Lavender MRT station (Downtown Line) and Bendemeer MRT station (Circle Line) are both roughly a five-minute walk away, making it possible to reach the city centre and multiple university campuses within 20–30 minutes by train. The accommodation itself is described as a hotel-style residence, with a lobby and shared facilities, including laundry (tagged as “laundry_facility”).
Given that Singapore’s student housing options are concentrated near the central regions, this address offers a balance between proximity to transport nodes and relative quietness compared to the busier Orchard Road or Bugis areas. The property has 81 Google reviews with an average rating of 4.4 out of 5, indicating generally positive resident feedback.
Who Is This Residence For?
64 Horne Road is suitable for students who prioritise convenience and a straightforward living setup. The location is especially practical for those studying at universities with campuses accessible via the Downtown or Circle lines — for example, students attending the National University of Singapore (NUS) or Singapore Management University (SMU) can reach their campuses with one or two MRT transfers. For Nanyang Technological University (NTU) students, the journey is longer but still feasible via the MRT and bus network.
The property offers two unit types: non-ensuite rooms and full apartments. Non-ensuite rooms (shared bathroom and sometimes shared kitchen) are typically more affordable and better suited for students who do not mind communal facilities. Apartments provide a private kitchen and bathroom, making them a better fit for those who prefer self-contained living, couples, or students who value cooking at home.
Because the minimum lease is three months, this residence works well for exchange students or those on short-term study programmes. The earliest availability is 3 July 2026, so it can also be booked for the start of the academic year or for a summer semester prior to the main intake.
Who Might Want To Look Elsewhere?
The property is not an ideal choice for students who require a completely private bathroom and kitchen without sharing. The non-ensuite units involve shared facilities, and even the apartment category — while self-contained — may not be as spacious as dedicated student dormitories. If you strongly prefer a purpose-built student accommodation with a large common lounge, study room, or gym, this property may feel more like a serviced apartment than a traditional student village.
Those on a very tight budget might find the price higher than the city’s starting rate. The monthly rent ranges from SGD 1,300 to 1,400, which is well above the city’s from-price of SGD 207 per week (approximately SGD 830 per month). While the weekly rate of this property comes to roughly SGD 325–350, it is still about 60% more than the cheapest options available. If cost is your primary concern, you may find more economical shared housing or hostel-style accommodations elsewhere in the city.
Additionally, the property is not located inside a university campus. While the area is safe and well-connected, students who prefer living directly on campus — like those at NTU’s on-campus hostels — should consider that option first, as it offers immediate access to classes, libraries, and dining halls.
What Residents Say
Google reviews provide a mix of positive and neutral feedback. Three reviews give a score of 5 out of 5, with the following verbatim comments:
Milan John: “I had a wonderful stay at the Nest Hotel in Singapore. The location is very convenient, just a 5-minute walk to both the Lavender and Bendemeer MRT stations, making it easy to get around the city. A special mention to Alice at the reception, who was exceptionally warm and accommodating. She arranged an early check-in a”
Muhammad Zulfadli: “Had a great experience staying with Nest Hotel, very pleased with the cleanliness and very pleasant layout of the hotel lobby. Very pleasant and caring hotel attendants especially Alice, she’s very caring and ensures that my stay at Nest Hotel is very enjoyable. Keep up with the good work!”
Caren Griffin: “Nice for the price. Staff was accommodating and helpful. There was not a separate shower stall which would have been fine except could not get warm/hot water with it. Otherwise nice for the price.”
These reviews mention the property under the name “Nest Hotel”, which appears to be the brand operating at this address. Common themes include a convenient location, cleanliness, and helpful staff (particularly Alice). One review notes a hot water issue in a unit without a separate shower stall — this suggests that some apartments or non-ensuite rooms have a combined bathroom layout without a dedicated shower enclosure. Potential residents who require a separate shower should confirm the room configuration before booking.
No negative reviews are present in the provided data, but the sample size is small (three reviews out of 81 total). The overall rating of 4.4 from 81 reviews indicates that most guests are satisfied, though individual experiences may vary.
Price Positioning & Room Types
The monthly rent for this property ranges from SGD 1,300 to 1,400 (indicative — confirm with the operator). This works out to roughly SGD 325–350 per week. For comparison, the city’s from-price for student accommodation is SGD 207 per week (indicative — confirm with the operator). The property’s price is therefore about 57–69% higher than the cheapest options in Singapore. This premium likely reflects the convenience of a hotel-style residence with reception staff, regular cleaning services, and a central location near two MRT stations.
The two unit types are:
- Non-ensuite rooms: These share bathroom and possibly kitchen facilities with other residents. They are the lower-priced option within the SGD 1,300–1,400 range. Suitable for budget-conscious students who do not mind communal living.
- Apartments: Fully self-contained units with private kitchen and bathroom. The higher end of the price range (~SGD 1,400) is typical for this category. Best for those who value privacy.
The deposit amount is not provided (null in the data), so you should ask the operator about the security deposit and any additional fees such as utilities or cleaning charges.
Booking Timing & Availability
The earliest move-in date is 3 July 2026. Since the minimum lease is three months, the earliest possible end date would be 3 October 2026. This makes the property suitable for the July intake of many Singapore universities, as well as for short-term stays during the summer break.
Given that the property is listed as “new” and “featured” on the booking platform, it may be in high demand. Student housing in Singapore tends to fill quickly, especially for central locations with MRT access. For a July move-in, it is advisable to confirm availability at least 2–3 months in advance. The listing data does not indicate how many units are available, so contacting the operator directly is necessary.
If you need a unit for the August or September intake, you can still book starting July but will need to coordinate the lease end accordingly. The flexibility of a three-month minimum lease is an advantage for those unsure about long-term plans, but if you intend to stay for a full academic year (typically 10–12 months), you should check whether longer leases are possible.
