Heritage hotel in Kampong Glam with rooftop pool and wellness services

Heritage & Location

Rest Bugis Hotel sits in the historic Kampong Glam district, a 15-minute walk from Bugis Junction shopping mall and a 5-minute walk from Arab Street. The hotel occupies a building with traditional Malay architectural elements and Peranakan-inspired decor throughout the interiors. Nearby landmarks include the Malay Heritage Centre and Sultan Mosque, both within walking distance.

Rooms & In-Room Features

Rooms are equipped with a flat-screen cable TV or a projector that casts cinema-like images on the wall. Certain room types include a skylight bathtub for two, a balcony with views of the main street, or a dedicated bunk bed with a slide in the Cinematic Family Room with Slide. Each room has a safety deposit box, a mini fridge, and a coffee machine.

Wellness & Pool

The rooftop houses an outdoor swimming pool with sun loungers and a city view over Arab Street. Avantir Wellness on-site offers comprehensive wellness services, including detox therapies and specialized treatments. Guests can use the pool even after checkout if their flight departs late.

Family-Friendly Features

The hotel provides family rooms such as the Cinematic Family Room with Slide, which includes a bunk bed with a slide for children. Daily housekeeping ensures the rooms remain tidy, and the 24-hour front desk can store luggage before check-in or after checkout. A filtered water dispenser on each floor allows guests to refill bottles at no extra cost.

A one-stop tailor shop on-site creates custom clothing for guests who want a made-to-measure outfit during their stay. Laundry and dry cleaning services are available through the 24-hour front desk. The hotel is a 25-minute drive from Changi International Airport and a short walk to Bugis and Lavender MRT stations.

fantastic stay!

central location helpful storage tea selection
The location is unbeatable. I walked to arab street and haji lane with total ease. the hotel also stored my bags after i checked out, since my flight was later (it was so convenient!). the room had nescafe pouches, a kettle, and black tea, i really liked that.
the air conditioning shuts off when i remove the card from the slot, it does not turn back on when i re-insert it.

Average Stay with Some Issues

small room high noise
My stay had a few hiccups. The room size felt cramped, especially for two people. the noise levels were quite high. I could hear street noise late into the night. This made it difficult to relax. The AC didn't seem to cool the room effectively, annoying, given the weather.

Satisfactory Experience

rooftop pool friendly staff small room unclean housekeeping
The rooftop pool allowed me to cool down. The staff were friendly and always had a smile on their face. This.
The room was super small. It was not very ideal for a long stay with a big bag, a problem for me. The housekeeping wasn't very clean.

poor soundproofing small sink
the location was acceptable. it allowed easy access to nearby restaurants.
the room was not properly soundproofed. i could hear conversations in other rooms. also, the small sink in the bathroom left no space to place personal items. this limited convenience when i needed to organize my toiletries.
