Pros

Live cultural performances three nights per week

Located within 0.3 miles of eight local restaurants including Hong Kong Soya Sauce Chicken Rice & Noodle

Historic opera theater architecture with preserved traditional elements

24-hour lobby with complimentary beverages

Cons

15.5 miles from Changi Airport

Bustling neighborhood with late-night activity

“I found this hotel an interesting option, particularly for solo travelers who value being in the thick of Chinatown. The building itself has a story, as a restored opera house, and the nightly performances certainly make it stand out, so I'd recommend it to anyone interested in Singapore's cultural heart.”
