I love the nostalgic feel and the history behind the hotel. Pleasantly surprised that for the rate I paid the bed and pillows was so cozy, bathroom and towels spick and span, the water pressure of the shower strong, AC and hot water worked perfectly. Very impressed. Will definitely come back.

About Jalan Besar

About

Forget Orchard Road's glitz and Marina Bay's luxury. In Jalan Besar, you'll find a different side of Singapore–a vibrant, quirky district that's bursting with character. Believe it or not, Jalan Besar wasn't always the cool cat it is today. Back in the day, it was a swampy area filled with betel nut plantations. 

Fast forward a couple hundred years, Jalan Besar transformed into a melting pot of old and new. The beautifully restored shophouses lining the streets now house trendy cafes serving up delicious brunch and artisanal coffee. Independent bookstores rub shoulders with quirky art galleries, and hidden bars with neon signs beckon you in for a night out. 

But amidst all the hipster vibes, you can still find traces of the past. Heritage buildings stand proudly, and temples like the Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple add a touch of cultural charm.

Jalan Besar is also a haven for hungry adventurers! Michelin-starred restaurants might be elsewhere, but here you'll find hidden gems serving up local delights at hawker centers. Think steaming bowls of laksa, fluffy roti canai, and plates piled high with satay–all waiting to make your taste buds dance happily.

This vibrant neighborhood promises a unique blend of history, hipster vibes, and delicious food.  Just remember, with its ever-changing nature, there's always something new to discover in Jalan Besar!

So, you've heard the whispers about Jalan Besar, the up-and-coming district buzzing with hidden bars, trendy cafes, and delicious eats. But how exactly do you get there? Fear not, fellow adventurer, this guide will have you navigating your way to Jalan Besar like a seasoned pro!

Let's be honest, Singapore's MRT system is amazing. It's clean, efficient, and perfect for budget-conscious travelers. The good news is, getting to Jalan Besar via MRT is a breeze. There are two closest stations which are Jalan Besar MRT Station (DT22) and Bugis MRT Station (EW12/DT14). 

Feeling a bit adventurous? Hopping on a bus is a great way to see more of Singapore while getting to Jalan Besar. There are plenty of buses that stop in the area, so you have some options.

Feeling fancy? Hail a taxi and tell the driver "Jalan Besar, please!" You can also download a ride-hailing app like Grab or Gojek. They're super convenient and often the fastest way to get around, especially if you're unfamiliar with the bus routes. Just be prepared for potential traffic, especially during peak hours.
