The Great Madras By Hotel Calmo - A boutique Singapore hotel with Moroccan-inspired design, rooftop pool, and vintage-style amenities in Little India
Located in Little India's vibrant commercial center, The Great Madras By Hotel Calmo features 35 air-conditioned rooms equipped with free WiFi, flat-screen TVs, and electric kettles. The hotel's distinctive Moroccan interior blends with modern design elements, showcased through its photogenic café, barbershop, and laundromat facilities. A 24-hour front desk provides concierge service and luggage storage, while open communal spaces accommodate business travelers and social gatherings. The rooftop pool offers a peaceful retreat above the urban landscape. This Singapore hotel stands 1 mile from St Andrew's Cathedral and maintains proximity to the Indian Heritage Centre, National Museum of Singapore, and Singapore Art Museum - all within 0.5 miles. The Great Madras positions guests 1 mile from both Fort Canning Park and the Singapore Flyer, with eight restaurants including The Great Mischief and Bismillah Biryani within 0.3 miles.
Pros
Former site of Lai Chun Yuen, Singapore's popular 19th-century Cantonese Opera House
Several rooms feature private balconies or courtyard access
Designated women-only dormitory spaces with sliding door partitions
Walking distance to multiple cultural landmarks and local eateries
Cons
8.5 miles from Seletar Airport
Shared bathrooms in hostel-style accommodations
“This small, design-conscious hotel in Little India could suit travelers prioritizing location and price; its blend of Moroccan and modern aesthetics offers appealing visual moments. However, some rooms may prove too compact for families or longer stays, and noise could be a concern. For solo adventurers or couples on a budget, it's a distinctive, if imperfect, choice.”
