Room in a 2 Bedroom Apartment, 2 Jalan Mat Jambol – Decision Review
This is a room within a shared two-bedroom apartment at 2 Jalan Mat Jambol, Singapore. The listing is managed via an independent student-housing platform and is currently marked as not available on the source system. Below is a neutral, data-driven review to help you decide whether this residence fits your needs.
Who This Residence Suits
Travellers and short-term students who value location and facilities.
The apartment sits close to Orchard Road and within walking distance of both Orchard and Somerset MRT stations – a major transit corridor that connects directly to downtown, shopping, and entertainment districts. It is also near several universities: National University of Singapore (NUS), Nanyang Technological University (NTU Singapore), Singapore Management University, and Singapore University of Technology and Design. Students at SMU will find the location particularly convenient; for NUS and NTU, the commute involves a train ride or bus.
Residents who appreciate on-site amenities.
The building includes a pool and a gym – less common for a single-room rental in a shared apartment. The laundry facility is noted in the tags, so you won’t need to find external laundromats.
Those comfortable with a shared living setup.
This is a two-bedroom apartment, meaning you share the living space, kitchen, and bathroom (unless the ensuite unit type applies – confirm exact configuration with the operator). Reviewers mention the room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained.
Individuals who want responsive staff.
Multiple Google reviews praise the staff by name (Joey, Azim, Zion). The overall Google rating is 4.1 out of 5 from 253 reviews, which is above average for Singapore student accommodation.
Who This Residence Does Not Suit
Budget travellers seeking the lowest possible rent.
The listing does not state a specific monthly price. As a reference point, Singapore’s city from-price for student housing is SGD 207 per month (indicative — confirm with the operator). That figure likely refers to a dormitory or a very basic room; a private room in a central apartment near Orchard Road is expected to cost significantly more. If you are strictly seeking the cheapest option, you may need to look further from the city centre.
Those needing an immediate move-in.
The tag “not_available” indicates the room is not currently open for booking on the platform. Availability may change, but you should expect to contact the operator directly to confirm if and when it can be reserved.
Students on a very tight lease.
The minimum lease is 3 months. If you are staying for a shorter period (e.g., exchange of 6 weeks), this property may not work.
People requiring a private bathroom.
While the unit types include “ensuite”, the listing name says “Room in a 2 Bedroom Apartment”. Confirm with the operator whether your room has its own bathroom or if it is shared. Most standard two-bedroom apartments in Singapore have one shared bathroom.
What Residents Actually Say
Three Google reviews are available, all with 5-star ratings. They highlight cleanliness, staff service, and location.
“I would like to share my feedback regarding my stay at this property. I had a wonderful stay. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained throughout my stay.

“Stayed at Coliwoo Orchard for several days and was very impressed. Great location, near to both Orchard and Somerset MRT. Room and bed was comfortable and I slept well every night. Liked that they have a pool and gym too. Best of all was the staff - everyone was so professional, helpful and friendly - Joey, Azim and Zi” – Yeet Deet Heet (5 stars)
“I had a wonderful experience staying here. The hotel is always clean and well-organized, and all facilities are fully equipped. The staff are kind, patient and very helpful. A big shout-out to Azim, Joey and Zion — they were amazing and made my trip much more comfortable. Would definitely come back again!” – 杨竣翔 (5 stars)
Note that the review text appears to be truncated in the data source (e.g., “within w” and “and Zi”). The content nonetheless confirms a positive experience with the facilities and personnel.
Price Positioning vs the City’s From-Price
As noted, the city from-price (the lowest listed rent among all student properties in Singapore on the platform) is SGD 207 per month (indicative — confirm with the operator). This is likely a bed in a shared dorm or a very small room in a less central area. By contrast, a private room in a two-bedroom apartment near Orchard Road typically commands a much higher rent – expect to pay several hundred to over a thousand SGD, depending on size, floor, and inclusive utilities.
Because the exact price for this room is not published in the available data, you should treat the SGD 207 figure only as a baseline for the cheapest options. For a property with this location, pool, gym, and positive reviews, the actual price will be higher. Always confirm with the operator before budgeting.
Room-Type Guidance
The unit types listed are “ensuite” and “independent_house”. The name “Room in a 2 Bedroom Apartment” suggests you are renting one bedroom in a shared flat. Key points to clarify with the operator:
- Whether the room is ensuite (private bathroom) or shares with the other tenant.
- Whether the apartment is fully furnished and what is included (e.g., utilities, Wi-Fi, weekly cleaning).
- Confirm the exact number of tenants – a two-bedroom apartment often accommodates two people, but could be configured as a single-occupancy room with lockable door.
- Check the “independent_house” tag – this may mean you have a private entrance or the property is a standalone house rather than a high-rise apartment. Ask for photos or a video tour.
Booking Timing
Given the “not_available” status, booking is not currently possible through the platform. If you are interested in this residence:
- Check back periodically or contact the operator directly. Availability often changes as tenants move out.
- The minimum lease is 3 months, so plan for a stay starting after mid-2026 or in 2027.
- Because Singapore’s student housing market can have limited supply near Orchard Road, it is advisable to look at alternative listings (the platform lists 129 properties in Singapore) and have a backup option.
