Stay overview and location
Wanderlust by The Unlimited Collection is a 4-star boutique hotel in a conserved 1920s Art Deco building in Jalan Besar, close to Little India. Rooms range from compact Deluxe Rooms to Studio Lofts and are set up for two adults, which suits couples and solo travellers wanting a design-led base. Wanderlust Singapore is a short walk from Jalan Besar MRT.
Rooms & rates
Space varies noticeably between categories, from compact Deluxe Rooms to the Studio Loft rooms. If you are staying several nights or like room to spread out, it is worth choosing the category with that in mind. Only Studio Loft rooms have kitchenettes, so guests in other rooms should plan to eat out.
Room capacities describe two adults, and extra beds are not available. Children under seven stay free when sharing the existing bedding with accompanying adults, so a couple travelling with a young child can use a single room and share the queen-size bed. For children aged seven and above, the hotel recommends booking an additional room.
Standard check-in is at 3 pm and check-out is at noon.

Amenities
The facilities are compact and practical rather than resort-style. Complimentary Wi-Fi and a dipping pool come with the stay, and self-service laundry is free of charge, which is useful on a longer trip. Professional laundry and dry-cleaning are also available for an additional fee.
Breakfast is not provided by the hotel, so mornings are best planned around the eateries in the surrounding streets. Guests in Studio Loft rooms can also use their kitchenette for simple meals.
Luggage storage is offered, though overnight storage is not permitted. This hotel works best for travellers comfortable with a simple, self-directed stay.

Is there a fridge, microwave or cooking setup in the rooms?
Only Studio Loft rooms have kitchenettes. Other room types do not, so guests in those rooms should plan to eat out. The hotel does not provide breakfast.
