Hive

Little India & Kampong Glam


Ever-friendly Hive sits on the edge of up-and-coming hipster 'hood Jalan Besar. Choose from mixed or female dorms, a combo of whitewashed walls and metal bunks, or completely private pods. The communal lounge-dining area is a comfy spot to nibble your free breakfast or let your creative juices flow drawing pictures or writing messages on the surrounding chalkboards.

A four and six-person family room is also available.
