4 stars Kampong Glam Hotels

This hotel is well located, being a modest walk from Bugis, MRTs, Sim Lin and Raffles and a good pool hall has just opened next door. Locally there are many small (Arab/Turkish) restaurants a short walk from the hotel. Reception staff were efficient and polite but not very welcoming. Room looked slightly spartan but clean, modern and a good size. Breakfast was acceptable without being impressive. There are a few shops including a 7/11 type in the complex. Singapore is horribly over-priced at the moment but this under-stated hotel is quite good value. We were surprisingly happy with our stay.

Wonderful experience at this hotel. Staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast was a nice start to the day as well. Facilities such as pool and fitness centre were top notch. Location was close to MRT and taxi fares were reasonable from this hotel.

I stayed for business and found this hotel and neighborhood a great way to experience old Singapore. Walking around the district you will find lots of cafes. Eat at the "Nan Hwa Chong Fish-Head Steamboat Corner" just down the street. Colouful plastic tables curbside, bathed in fluorescent light and full of locals; I had a delicious spicy sweet and sour pork on rice with a water for SGD$5.50. It's a 5-15 min taxi ride to downtown areas, or a brisk 20-30 min walk. Also a 10-15 min walk to Little India, another treasure trove of eateries. I found the location very convenient. In short, the hotel lacks some amenities, such as a gym or pool, but makes up for it in terms of a charismatic location and understated restoration of a heritage building. I had a ground floor room next to the laneway and didn't have any noise issues, though I did sleep with earplugs out of habit.
