Official Description (provided by the hotel):: Wanderlust in Little India draws madcap, curious voyagers to the old ethnic enclave. Made for guests with a sense of adventure, we invite you to walk the unconventional path where a radical hotel experience awaits.Its history began in the 1920s as the Hong Wen School, where the building at No 2 Dickson Road still retains its old-world charm with an unchanged façade. Situated 10 minutes from the cosmopolitan stretches of Orchard Road and the Central Business District; Wanderlust also offers door step access to a bustling, colourful street life. The four storey boutique hotel has 29 rooms. Just as no 2 rooms are identical, the same can be said for each floor in the hotel. It features the groundbreaking works of award-winning Singapore design agencies. Each agency was given full creative freedom to design an entire level in the hotel, resulting in four, different ‘in-your-face’ themes – ‘Industrial Glam’, ‘Eccentricity’, ‘Is It Just Black and White?‘ and ’Creature Comforts.’ ... more less

Reservation Options:: TripAdvisor is proud to partner with Hotels.com, Agoda, Splendia, Expedia, Priceline, Booking.com, Tingo and Venere so you can book your Wanderlust reservations with confidence. We help millions of travellers each month to find the perfect hotel for both holiday and business trips, always with the best discounts and special offers.

“Accept that Singapore is expensive, Wanderlust is awesome”

Reviewed 15 May 2013 NEW via mobile

When searching for accommodation I was shocked at how expensive everything was in comparison to Bangkok, but this place is worth it. We booked one of the 'whimsical lofts' and the room itself was great: clean, modern, quirky and unique. Very unique in that each room is different. The room was clean, the bed was more comfortable than my own... More

“Wow”

Reviewed 13 May 2013 via mobile

If you are looking to experience the grace, charm, gentleness and hospitality that epitomizes Singapore then look no further that the Wanderlust. From the moment you step onto the scrupulously clean steps that form part of the historical front of the building, and enter the lobby - be prepared to be greeted warmly and genuinely by the reception staff. Take... More

“Cool design hotel in little india”

We stayed 3 nights in the wanderlust, very cool lobby and restaurant with lots of designer itens. Tasty semi-buffet breakfast with fresh croissants, eggs, pancakes and fruits. We stayed in the black room, maybe a bit dark. ;) Toilet and shower are directly in the room, so for 2 people it could be a bit close... About 10 min walk... More

“Wish we stayed there longer...”

Reviewed 10 May 2013

After spending 3 nights in a pokey hotel at almost half the price ($140AU a night), we decided to treat ourselves to a night at Wanderlust ($260AU). Perhaps we should have stayed there more. I had booked a Whimsical room and was given the typewriter version - it was very cute. When we were given our room, we were just... More

Dear Munzy, Hellos from Wanderlust! Thank you for your positive review. We are pleased that you had a wonderful time staying with us in our Typewriter Whimsical room, and to hear that you loved the food at Cocotte. On the other hand, we are disappointed to note that your experiences with the team were less than satisfactory. Here at Wanderlust,... More

“Disappointment at its best”

I have been wanting to stay at Wanderlust for the longest time and I specially booked the Whimsical Loft as I wanted to stay at the Space themed room for my anniversary with my boyfriend. I even confirmed with the staff via email that we will be getting the Space room. I arrived at the hotel close to 3pm, ready... More

“small room and noisy neighborhood”

Reviewed 7 May 2013

From the outside, the hotel looks fine. Even the lobby is ok, with a nice French restaurant and patisserie. The walk to the room is very interesting as each door on my floor was a distinct pantone color. My cyan room had everything in cyan, from neon lights to floor and wall tiles. The room itself is pretty small, with... More

Dear Michael W, Greetings from Wanderlust! Thank you for your valuable feedback. We are disappointed to hear that your stay did not live up to your expectations. The capsule-like layout of our Pantone rooms is very unconventional, but with each floor of the hotel designed by a different local design agency, you may find the more spacious rooms in our... More

This quirky hotel in the middle of the hustle and bustle that is Little India, located next to an eatery and in between local shops. There is no sleep in this area and is very loud at all hours, though staff provide ear plugs to help with the noise. We stayed in a mono origami room and an all white... More

“A quirky hotel!”

Reviewed 15 April 2013 via mobile

We stayed at Wunderlust in the Avicii room in February 2013. Our room was very clean, the bed was amazingly comfortable (although awkward to get to up the steep steps), the coffee machine was very good. The only thing that was a shame was that the sofa wasn't particularly comfortable. The breakfast was fairly basic but good. The location is... More
