The Vagabond Club, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel Singapore

Excellent service by all staff. Great breakfast and service.

Great Atmosphere and Awesome Overall Vibe from the Hotel! The rooms were great and had a cool feel to them. Amazing vibe with the Whiskey Bar and restaurant had amazing food and drink. I would stay here again and again when coming to Singapore.

Loved the quirky decor, the whiskey library, and the artwork. Room beautifully decorated and comfortable bed.

Location , lovely staff , artwork on all the walls.

We recently spent two nights at the Vagabond Club, and we were very impressed. The location is great, right between Kampong Glam and Little India. The vibe is fantastic, with deep, rich maroon throughout the bar and lounge on the ground floor.

The rooms aren't huge, but they're very comfortable, and our bed was perfectly firm and gave us a great night's sleep. We'd definitely go back. We would definitely recommend a stay. And if you do, be sure to ask the manager, Kavitha, for the art tour—it's fascinating!

Location , very well set up, authentic hotel on the edge of little India, near Bugis and haji lane.

Smaller rooms than your typical American hotel room but still had all the amenities. Two large suitcases will struggle. We had just one.

The hotel looked very classy from outside when I got down from my cab. As I made my way inside, I took time to locate the reception desk, which was in the shape of a metallic rhinoceros. The entire lobby area looked very interesting. I was quicky checked-in and given the keys to my room.
My room was a deluxe executive room, and it was quirky, but tastefully decorated. The room was small in width, but was very long. I really appreciated the style in which the furnishing and fixtures were done. Everything was extremely clean and well put together and all amenties and comforts were adequately provided.
Some points should be noted however:
1. There was no person outside the hotel, or in the lobby to assist with bags. I was not carrying much luggage, so it did not matter to me, but there should ideally have been someone from the bell desk to assist with guest luggage.
2. The hotel does not provide in room dining. I forgot to read this detail on the Marriott website and I found out when I felt hungry later at night. The hotel encourages guests to order using Grab if they wish to eat.
3. The walls of my room were quite thin, and I could hear much of the noise from the adjacent rooms.

These aspects aside, this is a remarkable property. My breakfast in the morning was wonderful. Further, their jazz and whiskey club has incredible amience, and they have live music from Thursday to Saturday. Sadly, my stay dates did not coencide, however, I definitely plan on coming back and enjoying a stay at this property over a weekend in the near future.

If you want to avoid the huge corporate hotels in tourist zones, this is a great option. It’s clean and well run. Owned by Marriott (and presumably upholds their standards) but definitely has the feel of a small boutique hotel. It’s located very close to Indian and Muslim sectors so you can go out on foot and explore those neighborhoods. Those shops and restaurants mainly cater to locals so it didn’t feel touristy at all. Didn’t see a single shop selling singapore T-shirts. Fabulous Indian and Lebanese food! The surrounding area isn’t upscale but it is authentic, and of course (like everywhere else in Singapore) felt safe even though we were often tourists walking amongst locals. It’s a short ride to most attractions in tourist zone. But honestly looking back we enjoyed local neighborhoods more than tourist stuff.

The hotel is small but unique. They specialize in whiskey and live jazz. The decor is very cool, both in lobby and in rooms. It was quiet except Saturday night when bar patrons in street whooped it up until 3 am. Rooms are on 2nd and 3rd floor, so the front rooms like ours are right on the street. Thus earplugs were needed that night if you have a room on the street. No fitness room but Anytime Fitness is right across the street. No pool but that wasn’t important to us. In-house food is Indian. Bed was very comfortable. Room was smallish but very much met our needs. Had a fridge, desk, safe, etc.

Now the best part: The staff. Unbelievable customer service! Small in numbers but sky high in quality. They all speak English fluently of course. One of them comes out to the sidewalk to greet and help us the minute our cab door opened. Someone came up to our room to check on us after we settled. Always warm and smiling. And unlike American hotels, they aren’t always looking for tips as it isn’t their cultural norm. Shakeela helped us on our last day with many details including free luggage storage after checkout. She went above and beyond and was so nice!

Location, food, hotel, excellent.
Staff, five star an absolute delight to deal with or just to talk too. You did not need to ask for help everything you needed to know was given freely.
Would recommend to everybody.

The vibe of the hotel from lobby to the room and friendliness of the staff is amazing. Jenifer and Avianne welcome us with smile and super helpful for our little one.

Nice and cosy hotel with wonderful breakfast, served by the table. Cool little bar with live Jazz on weekends. Rooms are rather small but special in a positive sense. Calm location close to little India.

Jennifer and Gabrielle welcome us with wonderful hospitality! Make sure you do the art tour. This hotel is so unique and makes you want to come back.

This is my second time staying at the Vagabond. It's a really great artistic hotel. When you walk into the hotel, you feel like you are in a art gallery. Customer service is excellent! If you are someone who loves visiting art galleries, you will love this hotel.

This hotel claims to be a five star. The rooms are very cramped and the bathroom is tiny. Everywhere feels grubby and all lighting levels are very low.
My wife started her period unexpectedly during our last night and we were horrified to see that they have no mattress protectors on the bed . But that did not stop them taking a large amount of money from our account over and above the hotel fee. We did not give them permission to do that and we consider that to be theft.
So avoid this hotel . They do not provide a five star service and they are very aggressive people. I felt threatened and intimidated by them.

We stayed with couple of friends and their families including couple of small kids. Right from the moment we booked, the team was very responsive to any questions we had. Special mention to Jennifer from the front desk, who was extremely helpful, friendly and understanding of any needs we had. Our stay was enjoyable thanks to the service. Besides that, rooms were a bit small especially if you travel with a lot of luggage but a great whiskey lounge with an extensive collection. Would recommend for the service.
