Klapstar
15 Hoe Chiang Road, Singapore
(+65) 6345 6116 | reservation@klapstar.com
Website, Facebook, Instagram
Price range: SGD 200 – SGD 500 a night
You’d be surprised to learn that Klapstar is a boutique hotel with its amenities that are of similar quality as that of higher-end hotels in Singapore (or anywhere else). It only has 17 rooms, each promising a different atmosphere and experience from the rest, but the level of service and comfort you get is the same. You might not want to miss out on booking the Oasis Suite though, especially when it has an outdoor Jacuzzi for your total pleasure.
Shophouse: The Social Hostel
The Shophouse on Arab Street, 48 Arab Street, Singapore
(+65) 6298 8721 | ask@shophousehostel.com
Website, Facebook, Instagram
Price range: SGD 18 – SGD 75 a night
The Shophouse was built by travelers for travelers. Only less than an hour away from Changi Airport and nestled within the historically and culturally rich neighborhood that is Kampong Glam, this hostel is simple yet comfy enough for a stress-free stay. Save on money and make new friends by bunking at a dorm, or enjoy privacy without spending so much at the beautifully decorated private rooms.
If there’s anything that would motivate you to get out of bed, though, it’s the facilities. Each of them — from the lounge and the terrace to the pantry and in-house café — foster an atmosphere that encourages interaction and fun so you could get the most out of the little that you’ve paid.
This elegant loft in Little India
Entire home | 2 guests | SGD 115 a night
Located within Jalan Besar of Little India, the colonial-era shophouse which holds this elegant loft is only a short stroll away from some of the best eateries, bars, and cafés in the neighborhood. The room boasts of Scandinavian-inspired furniture that gives off a modern minimalistic aura that’s sure to beautify your Instagram feed. It’s complete with everything you’ll need for a relaxing stay, including a TV with Netflix you can from on days you when you don’t want to go out. Book this loft here.
This chic space in Marine Parade
Private room | 2 guests | SGD 69 a night | 2 nights minimum stay
Don’t judge this tiny studio apartment based on size; there’s a lot to love about this accommodation hidden within Marine Parade district of Central Singapore — the side of Singapore not often explored by tourists. The beach, Gardens by the Bay, and various other places of interest are just a few minutes away from this accommodation. If you choose not to venture outside, you can enjoy the peace and quiet of your chic rented apartment that has enough amenities to keep you relaxed and satisfied. Book this room here.
This peaceful apartment in Geylang District
Entire studio apartment | 2 guests | SGD 94 a night | 2 nights minimum stay
Get a chance to stay in an award-winning shophouse located in Geylang District. Its architectural design truly is a sight to see and it gives off a reassuring feeling of tranquility despite you sharing the shophouse with other residents. The entire place is Instagram-worthy — the common areas, the staircases, and especially the rooms. The studio itself is simple and is similar to how a hotel room usually looks, only without a hefty price tag attached. Book this room here.
