hotel · Kampong Glam & Bugis
The Sultan Review
A shophouse hotel at 101 Jalan Sultan, in Kampong Gelam.
Best for
A second visit, or a first one that wants a quarter rather than a districtTravellers who want to walk to dinner and to a barLonger stays
Why it stands out
That it is in one of the oldest urban quarters in the country and is a converted part of it rather than a tower dropped beside it.
Main trade-off
The area scores 5.5 for quietness and 6.0 for families. This is a small, low-rise quarter that is loud until late, and the hotel is on its main street.
Why we recommend it
Best in the quarter
Our pick for Kampong Glam because it is a row of restored shophouses on Jalan Sultan, inside the quarter rather than on the road around it, a few minutes from the Sultan Mosque and the shops on Arab Street.
