Shophouse

Little India & Kampong Glam


A well-located hostel, Shophouse's rooms feature dark-wood bunks and industrial elements such as raw-concrete floors. At the time of research the rooftop terrace was being converted into a bar which will serve bespoke mocktails and snacks. There's a women-only floor, and guests enjoy a 20% discount at Working Title, the indie cafe on the ground floor.
