In-Depth Review
Rooms and decor
Picture a Singapore stay that feels like having your own apartment: you open the door to a kitchen with a stove, a fridge and a dining table, then a sofa to lounge on and a bedroom roomy enough to actually unpack — that is the appeal of Oasia Residence Singapore by Far East Hospitality, a wellness-concept serviced residence by Far East Hospitality in West Coast Crescent on the western side of the island. Units run from studios up to two bedrooms, decorated in a warm, easy, practical tone, every one with a kitchen and a washing machine. What reviews agree on most is the room size — bigger than the Singapore hotel norm — and the genuinely well-kept cleanliness. Beds are comfortable and bathrooms well stocked. Anyone who likes a stay that feels relaxed and home-like, with space to actually live, should be happy here, especially families travelling together or guests in for a long stay.
Food and amenities
The heart of staying here is that it is a wellness serviced residence with just the right amount on hand. Start with the outdoor pool, easy to slip into after a full day out, and the gym next to it for anyone who wants to work out without finding somewhere else. What makes it especially convenient is the location right next to West Coast Plaza, a community mall with a supermarket, restaurants, coffee shops and a food court. You can head down for fresh groceries to cook in your kitchen, or grab dinner without going far. The surrounding area is a quiet, leafy residential neighbourhood — a contrast to the always-busy hotel districts in the centre — and plenty of guests say they rest well and sleep easy here, which suits anyone who wants calm at night over the bustle.
Location and getting there
Oasia Residence is in West Coast Crescent on Singapore's western side, a quiet residential area near schools and the tech scene. The draw is being close to the National University of Singapore (NUS) and the business-and-tech district of One-North, which makes it a strong fit for parents visiting students, researchers, or anyone with work out west. The thing to know is there is no MRT station at the building — you catch a bus or a taxi or Grab for about 10 minutes to reach the train at Clementi (East-West line) or Haw Par Villa (Circle line). Several bus routes run through the neighbourhood and rides are easy to get. Day-to-day food and shopping barely need a trip anywhere, since West Coast Plaza is right next door. The short version: if your trip circles around the west, leans toward easy rest with a kitchen to cook in, and you are not fussed about walking to the MRT, this location fits very well — but if you plan to be in the city every day, budget some travel time.
Things to know before booking
Straight talk to help you decide — the biggest thing to weigh is getting around, because there is no MRT at the building and you need a bus or taxi for about 10 minutes to reach the train at Clementi or Haw Par Villa. If you are used to a hotel where the train is a few steps away, you will be planning your transport a little more. Tied to that is the western location, fairly far from popular city-centre sights like Marina Bay, Orchard and Chinatown, so you should budget a fair bit of travel time into the city each day; anyone focused on the centre every day may feel they lose time on the road. On top of that, because this is a serviced residence built around privacy and longer stays, some full hotel-style services — an in-house restaurant, or round-the-clock lobby staff — are not as complete as at a regular hotel, so set expectations accordingly. On the rooms, cleanliness and neighbourhood convenience, though, it does well enough that review scores are high across the board.
Our take
After reading through plenty of real guest reviews, Oasia Residence Singapore by Far East Hospitality earns its reputation for roomy, home-like units with a kitchen, well-kept cleanliness, and the convenience of sitting next to the West Coast Plaza community mall. If the trip in your head is a long stay or a whole family out west — waking up to cook in your own kitchen, heading down to shop at the mall below, cooling off in the pool, then back to a big, quiet room — this is about as well-suited as it gets, especially for parents visiting students at NUS and people working around One-North. But if the heart of the trip is sightseeing in the centre every day and walking straight to the MRT, the western location and the lack of a train at the door may give you pause. Overall we give it 9.0/10, best for families, long stays, and western-side visitors who want home comfort in a quiet neighbourhood.

The Honest Verdict — pros & what to know
- The units are roomy, running from studios all the way to two bedrooms, and every one comes with a kitchen and a washing machine. You can cook and do laundry yourself, which suits families, groups, or anyone on a long stay who does not want to eat out every meal.
- It sits right next to West Coast Plaza, a mall with a supermarket, restaurants, coffee shops and a food court. You can head downstairs for groceries or dinner without going far at all.
- Review scores are high and near-unanimous, with Booking hitting 9.0. Plenty of guests single out the cleanliness, the well-kept rooms, and the quiet, leafy feel of the neighbourhood for proper rest.
- There is an outdoor pool and a gym under Far East Hospitality's wellness concept — a place to cool off after a full day out, and a way to work out without hunting down a gym elsewhere.
- The western-side location puts you close to the National University of Singapore (NUS) and the business-and-tech district of One-North, making it a strong pick for parents visiting students, researchers, and anyone with work out west.
- There is no MRT station at the building. You need to catch a bus or grab a taxi or Grab for about 10 minutes to reach the train at Clementi or Haw Par Villa, so if you are used to walking straight to the MRT, this will feel less convenient than a hotel in another area.
- It is on the western side of Singapore, fairly far from the popular city-centre sights like Marina Bay, Orchard and Chinatown. Budget a decent chunk of travel time into the city each day.
- As a serviced residence built around privacy and longer stays, it does not offer the full sweep of hotel-style service — there is no in-house restaurant or round-the-clock lobby staff in the way a regular hotel has. Anyone expecting a full-service hotel feel should adjust expectations.

Insider Tips
- Travelling as a group or staying a while? Book a two-bedroom unit with the full kitchen — it works out far better value than booking two separate rooms, and you can pick up fresh groceries from the supermarket in West Coast Plaza to cook yourself.
- Plan your transport around Grab or the bus from the start, since there is no MRT at the building. Rides are easy to get morning and evening, and it is not a long trip to Clementi or Haw Par Villa station.
- Use the food court and restaurants in West Coast Plaza as your main meal spot — prices are friendly and there is plenty of choice — while an easy breakfast you can just make in your own kitchen.
