Link Hotel Singapore is a 274-room, 4-star hotel spread across low-rise buildings of just four floors in Tiong Bahru, on the south-western edge of the Chinatown district. What sets it apart is its origin: according to the hotel's own website, it is the first and only hotel to be converted from conserved Art Deco apartment blocks, originally built as public housing in the 1950s and 1960s. The property opened as a hotel in 2007, and Traveloka's listing records its most recent renovation year as 2016. Traveloka's data also notes that the property was previously named Link Hotel, so you may still see the shorter name on signage, maps and older travel guides.
The hotel describes its setting as part of Tiong Bahru, which it calls Singapore's oldest housing estate. Its two main wings, the Lotus Block and the Orchid Block, are joined by an elevated walkway called the Link Bridge, which is where the hotel takes its name. Inside, the lobby picks up local design references, with lighting inspired by bird cages and pillars that draw on the shape of the abacus. The hotel also incorporates the estate's well-known bird corner, which it dates to the early 1960s, and sits on the Tiong Bahru Heritage Trail launched by the National Heritage Board in April 2013.
Guests should note a current operational update published in the property's own policy text on Traveloka: with effect from 19 June 2026, rooms are being allocated in the renovated Annex Block at 51 Tiong Bahru Road while works continue at the Main Block at 50 Tiong Bahru Road. Check-in is from 15:00 and check-out is by 11:00, and the front desk is staffed around the clock.
The hotel's official website lists 274 rooms across several categories, which it says are designed for business, leisure and family travellers. The core categories below are presented from the smallest upwards, with the sizes and bed configurations the hotel publishes. Because rooms are currently being allocated in the Annex Block during the Main Block works, the exact room you receive may differ from the photos for the same category, so check the room description on Traveloka before you book.
The Superior Room is the hotel's entry-level category at approximately 15 sqm, offered with either a queen bed or twin beds. The official site lists wireless Internet, a mini cooler, air conditioning, a smart TV with cable channels and Netflix, an in-room safe, an espresso machine, bottled water and a work desk for this room type.
At approximately 18 sqm, the Deluxe Room gives a little more floor space and is configured with twin beds, which makes it a practical choice for friends or colleagues sharing a room. It carries the same in-room amenity set listed by the hotel for the Superior category, including the work desk and espresso machine.
The Premier Room is also approximately 18 sqm but comes with a king-size bed, and the hotel describes it as a modern room design.
The Executive Room steps up to approximately 26 sqm with a king-size bed.
The largest category with published dimensions is the Family Room, at approximately 34 sqm with one king bed and two twin beds. It is designed for families travelling with older children, or for small groups who want to stay together in one room rather than book two.
The hotel's website also names a SOHO Room and a One Bedroom Apartment among its categories, but does not publish sizes or bed details for them. If you are considering either option, check the room description and occupancy shown on Traveloka at the time of booking.
Traveloka's listing records a desk, hairdryer, in-room safe, minibar, shower and TV among the in-room facilities, along with air conditioning throughout. Exact features can vary by room and block, so confirm the per-room amenities on the listing.
Link Hotel Singapore is a practical, service-led hotel rather than a resort-style property, and its facility list on Traveloka reflects that. The highlights recorded in the listing are:
The property's policy text on Traveloka gives specific parking directions: the car park is behind the Main Block at 50 Tiong Bahru Road, with its entrance next to the New Cape Inn Building at 3 Seng Poh Road.
Traveloka's data does not list a swimming pool, fitness centre or spa for this property, and records room service as not available, so plan accordingly if those facilities matter to you. The hotel's website mentions that meeting rooms are coming soon. Nearby facilities recorded on the listing include ATMs and banking, a beauty salon and a hair salon within the surrounding estate.
The hotel's Main Block is at 50 Tiong Bahru Road, Singapore 168733, and the Annex Block, where rooms are currently allocated, is at 51 Tiong Bahru Road, Singapore 168734. Traveloka places the property in the Chinatown area, and it sits within the Tiong Bahru estate, a short ride from the Central Business District and Marina Bay.
According to the hotel's location page, public transport options are close by:
From Changi Airport, the hotel estimates a taxi or ride-hailing journey of around 24 minutes covering roughly 24 km. By MRT, the hotel suggests riding the East West Line from the airport, changing at Tanah Merah towards Outram Park, then taking the Thomson-East Coast Line one stop to Havelock and walking about three minutes from exit 1. If you are still planning your arrival, you can book your flight on Traveloka and then use either route into Tiong Bahru.
The hotel's own list of nearby places gives a useful sense of scale. Tiong Bahru Market is about 240 m away and The Prive about 190 m away, while Great World City is about 1.2 km, Chinatown Point about 2.2 km and Orchard Road about 2.8 km from the hotel. Major sights around the bay are a little further: Marina Bay Sands at about 3.8 km, Esplanade - Theatres on the Bay at about 3.9 km, Gardens by the Bay at about 4 km, Merlion Park at about 4.2 km and the Singapore Flyer at about 4.7 km.
Traveloka's listing does not record an on-site restaurant at Link Hotel Singapore, and room service is listed as not available. Its data indicates that breakfast is charged separately rather than included by default, so check whether your chosen rate includes it and what the current arrangement is while the Main Block works continue.
The real draw for food lovers is the neighbourhood itself. The hotel's own guide to the area names several eateries within a very short walk:
Tiong Bahru Market, roughly 240 m from the hotel, is another easy option for a casual breakfast or lunch, and the wider Chinatown area offers plenty more choice a short ride away. If you want to fill your days between meals, browse tours and attractions around Singapore to plan visits to Gardens by the Bay, the Singapore Flyer and other sights.
Few hotels in Singapore can point to a building history like this one. Staying in conserved Art Deco blocks that began life as homes, rather than in a purpose-built tower, gives the hotel a residential, low-rise character that fits naturally into the Tiong Bahru estate around it. The Link Bridge, the bird-cage lighting and the abacus-inspired pillars are small but distinctive details that guests interested in architecture and local heritage tend to notice.
The location is the second big reason. With Havelock station on the Thomson-East Coast Line about three minutes away on foot and Outram Park within a ten-minute walk, the hotel connects easily to Chinatown, the city centre and Marina Bay, while the estate itself offers bakeries, hawker food and neighbourhood restaurants right on the doorstep.
It is a good fit for couples, families and business travellers who value character and walkable neighbourhood life over resort facilities. If you need a pool or gym on site, compare other hotels on Traveloka in the Chinatown and Outram area.
Booking through Traveloka lets you compare room categories and rate conditions side by side before you confirm. When you are ready to plan the rest of your trip, start from the Traveloka homepage.
