My husband booked us at the Jen Hotel in Singapore when I helped my daughter move into her dorm room at National University of Singapore (NUS). It’s part of the Shangri La hotel company and located very centrally in Orchard Gateway.
We discovered that we were right next door to the subway and across the street from a bus station. There was no need to take a Grab (the Singapore version of Uber) because the public transportation is so great.
The Jen Hotel has tons of amenities that we did not take part in. We did check out the pool on the roof which had a great view. It was too crowded for us so we hung out nearby on a deck while waiting for our room to be ready to occupy.
The hotel has a restaurant offering an immense buffet breakfast. It is fabulous but be sure to be hungry!
There are also tons of food options nearby including several food courts in the mall right next door to the hotel. Restaurants abound in the hotel including some fancy ones, but there are also casual options that are open late at night just a few minutes away. Singapore is so safe that it’s fine to walk around very late at night by yourself.
We had a lovely stay at the Jen Hotel. Have you been to Singapore? Where did you stay and what did you enjoy doing? Thanks for sharing!
