“Great - not sterile or boring!”

We loved staying here for four days. The location on the edge of Little India was just what we wanted. It has great transport connections with two MRT stations & multiple bus stops nearby. We also loved the vibrancy of the Little India area & Jalan Besar. There are good places to eat close by (we enjoyed dumplings a few streets away & the Tekka centre is worth a visit). We self-catered breakfast so we could make an early start most mornings & found a CS supermarket in walking distance at Bugis Junction. We also used the coffee machine on level 2 (perfectly good coffee) & the washing machine & dryer (eating at hawker centres can be messy!). Our room had the most storage we had ever seen in a hotel room. Housekeeping was unobtrusive & efficient. Reception staff were always friendly. As a bonus, there is a good Malay restaurant (Aleeya) on the ground floor of the hotel. It is reasonably priced for a fancier restaurant & offers 10% discount for hotel residents. Note that because of the restaurant there is not really a lounge area in the hotel lobby. The area might not be for everyone but we loved it. It certainly challenges the view that Singapore is sterile & boring.

“Excellent place to explore Singapore”

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Wanderlust. The room was a simple design, but adequate in size and very clean.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Wanderlust. The room was a simple design, but adequate in size and very clean. The hotel is well equipped for every travellers needs, with a plunge pool and complimentary laundry/drying service. The hotel staff were very friendly and offered us great tips on places to eat and see. The hotel is situated in a great location within Little India and is a short walk from the metro station. If you're looking to stay in an area that offers a more authentic experience of the city, then I would highly recommend staying at Wanderlust.

“Great Location but Tiny Rooms”

Only reason this wasn't a five-star stay was the size/layout of rooms. My colleague got a studio room, which didn't have enough floor space to even lay out a suitcase. The queen bed was against a wall on three sides, so if there are 2 people, one would need to climb over the other to get in/out o… more

Only reason this wasn't a five-star stay was the size/layout of rooms. My colleague got a studio room, which didn't have enough floor space to even lay out a suitcase. The queen bed was against a wall on three sides, so if there are 2 people, one would need to climb over the other to get in/out of bed. I got the loft, which had a lot more floor space, including a nice kitchenette and comfortable sitting area. But the loft bed can only be accessed by an extremely steep staircase. The loft also had a very low ceiling, making it even more treacherous to have to duck when going up/down the top stair. I actually struggled to sleep because of my fears of the stairs. I tend to get up once per night to use the washroom, especially when my hydration is a bit off-kilter during travel. Whenever I got up, having to be so cautious on the stairs and turn several lights on, made my mind activate and I struggled to go back to sleep. This was really disappointing because the bed was otherwise quite comfortable and rooms were extremely quiet (no street noise or hallway noise)... Sleep should have been so much easier! But there were a LOT of positives: + Excellent location just around the corner from MRT station + 1-2 short blocks walk to dozens of dining options in Little India (including several 24 hr restaurants) + Supremely clean, modern rooms + Filtered water faucet en suite (at least in my loft), and shared guest water tap for filtered and sparkling water + Complimentary guest laundry (including soap) + Excellent multilingual staff who are professional and quick
