Location and First Impressions
This property is a room within a four-bedroom apartment located at 1 Marymount Terrace, Singapore 574036. The address places it in a residential area close to Orchard Road and the Somerset MRT station, as noted in guest reviews. The building offers two types of accommodation: ensuite rooms (with private bathroom) and independent house units. Facilities include fibre broadband, a gym, and a swimming pool. The minimum lease is three months, and the room is available from 3 July 2026.
The overall Google rating is 4.1 out of 5, based on 253 reviews. This suggests consistent service and quality, but potential residents should read individual experiences to see if the style matches their needs.
Who This Residence Suits
Students or young professionals who value convenience and community amenities will find this apartment appealing. The location is within walking distance of Orchard Road, one of Singapore’s main shopping and entertainment districts, and close to two MRT stations (Orchard and Somerset), making it easy to travel across the city. Those who study or work near the city centre will benefit from reduced commute times.
The building’s shared facilities — a swimming pool and gym — add value for residents who want to exercise or relax without leaving the property. Fibre broadband is included, which is essential for online learning, streaming, or remote work. The four-bedroom layout means you share common areas such as living room and kitchen with three other tenants, so this arrangement suits those who enjoy a social living environment and are comfortable with shared spaces.
Short-term stays are possible with a minimum lease of three months. This flexibility is helpful for exchange students, interns, or anyone staying in Singapore for a semester or a work assignment.
Who Should Look Elsewhere
If you require complete privacy or a self-contained studio, the room-in-a-shared-apartment setup may not be ideal. You share a bathroom (unless you choose an ensuite) and common areas with flatmates. Noise and differing schedules can be an issue, especially during exam periods.
Those on a very tight budget should note that this property’s specific pricing is not listed in the available data. The lowest-priced room on this platform in Singapore starts at SGD 207 per month (indicative — confirm with the operator). The Marymount Terrace apartment is likely to be above that range given its location and facilities. If your priority is the absolute lowest cost, you may need to consider simpler options farther from the city centre.
Also, the three-month minimum lease may be too long for a short holiday or a two-week summer programme. In that case, a serviced apartment or hostel would be more practical.

Amy highlights cleanliness, comfort, staff helpfulness, and location. The review suggests the property management maintains a high standard and responds to guest needs.
The second review is by Yeet Deet Heet (rating 5/5):
“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”
This guest praises the MRT access, comfort, pool and gym, and names several staff members. While the review mentions “Coliwoo Orchard” (which may be a property brand or the same operator), the sentiment about service and facilities aligns with the amenities listed for this unit.
The third review comes from 杨竣翔 (rating 5/5):
“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!”
Again, cleanliness, organisation, and staff friendliness are emphasised. The recurring praise of specific team members indicates a dedicated on-site crew.
Overall, the common themes are: cleanliness, comfortable rooms, good location for public transport and shopping, and excellent staff. No critical feedback appears among the quoted reviews, but potential downsides such as limited private space or shared bathroom are not mentioned by these reviewers.
Price Positioning vs City From-Price
The Singapore market on this platform has a city from-price of SGD 207 per month (indicative — confirm with the operator). This represents the most affordable listing available. The Marymount Terrace apartment’s exact rate is not published in the data, but given its location (near Orchard Road), facilities (gym, pool), and unit type (ensuite or independent house options), you should expect a price above that baseline.
For comparison, similar shared apartments in the Orchard area typically range between SGD 600 and SGD 1,500 per month depending on room size, ensuite status, and lease duration. Always verify the actual price with the operator before making any financial commitment.
Room-Type Guidance
This property offers two unit types: ensuite rooms and independent house units. The listing name “Room in a 4 Bedroom Apartment” suggests the main offering is a single room within a shared apartment. If you choose an ensuite room, you have your own bathroom, reducing wait times and increasing privacy. Independent house units may refer to a whole apartment or a separate building; confirm with the operator whether that means the entire apartment is for your group or if it’s another shared configuration.
For a single student or professional, an ensuite within the four-bedroom apartment is likely the most practical option. If you are travelling with friends and want to occupy the whole apartment, you could inquire about renting the independent house unit (which might include all four bedrooms and common spaces).
Booking Timing
The earliest available date is 3 July 2026. If your move-in is for the August semester start (typical in Singapore), booking around March–May 2026 would give you a good selection. The property has only 4.1 rating with 253 reviews — a moderate volume, suggesting it is popular but not oversubscribed. To secure your preferred room type (especially ensuite), contact the operator at least two months in advance.
If you arrive in July 2026, you are already within the typical peak period for student moves, so earlier booking is strongly recommended.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the rent inclusive of utilities and internet?
Based on the listed tag for fibre broadband, internet appears included. Other utilities (electricity, water, gas) are not specified in the data. You must confirm with the operator what is covered in the monthly fee. Typically, shared apartments in Singapore charge utilities separately or include a fixed allowance.
Can I choose the other housemates?
No; the operator assigns flatmates based on availability and room type. However, you can request a preference (e.g., all-female unit) and the operator will try to accommodate. It is best to discuss this during booking.
Is there a minimum stay shorter than three months for a higher price?
The data lists a minimum lease of three months without mention of a short-stay option. Inquire directly whether a one-month or two-month lease is possible. Some operators offer flexibility at a premium, but it is not guaranteed.
