Venue Hotel

Right in the heart of Joo Chiat (Katong), low-cost Venue makes a striking first impression with its dark, slinky, sculptural lobby. Rooms are small, simple and modern, with boldly coloured feature walls, contemporary bathrooms and a choice of standard or low-rise beds. Premium rooms come with a decadent soaking tub at the foot of the bed. There's no breakfast, pool or gym, but with rates like these, who's complaining?
