The Vagabond Club, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel Singapore

the hotel itself is iconic and amazing design

Very clean, extremely welcoming helpful and friendly staff. Excellent breakfast and evening cocktails included in my package.

An excellently presented property.
The staff were professional and friendly. Would definitely stay again when in Singapore

The staff were excellent and assisted us with an early check in

I stayed at The Vagabond Club Singapore and came away pleasantly surprised.

The hotel is located right at the border of Little India. While it’s close to two MRT lines, it’s not directly connected, which makes it slightly less convenient than more central locations.

This is a very small boutique property, and what really stands out is the design. It’s bold, eclectic, and quite different from what you typically see in Singapore. Whether you like it is a matter of taste, but I personally found it fun and refreshing. Despite its size, the hotel never felt crowded.

My room had an unusual layout: the bed is right by the entrance, followed by a narrow corridor with a desk, leading to the bathroom at the back. At first surprising, but it worked well in practice. Room size is decent, though not particularly spacious.

Service was a real highlight—staff were consistently friendly and made an effort to engage.

Breakfast is fully à la carte. It’s well done and offers some choice, but after a few days it could start to feel repetitive.

There is also a lounge-style offering (included in my rate), where you can select a few items from a menu—more like light bites than a full club lounge experience.

I didn’t attend the jazz club, but it seems there are events almost every evening, which adds to the atmosphere.

One downside: while my courtyard-facing room was quiet overall, the walls are quite thin, so noise from neighbors could be an issue depending on who you get. Also, there are no real facilities—no gym, no pool—so if that’s important, this may not be the right choice.

Overall, a stylish and characterful boutique hotel with excellent service, best suited for short stays or travelers who prioritize design over amenities.

Excellent service from the restaurant and bar staff. We especially enjoyed the live jazz music. I enjoyed the large selection of whiskeys. The room was small but had a large bathroom and shower area. Good location with lots of restaurants and services close by. Will definitely stay here again.

Great location near Kampong Glam & Little India. This is a Boutique hotel so for me, no large groups is a plus. Personal attention from front desk--helpful and friendly. Room was comfortable with a nice shower and bed.

Subject: A sanctuary when I needed it most
The Vagabond Club is an absolute dream of a hotel, but what truly sets it apart is the incredible heart and soul of the staff. I unfortunately spent most of my stay feeling quite under weather, and the way the team stepped up was nothing short of exceptional.
A huge thank you to the receptionist for being so incredibly considerate—allowing me an early check-in and a late check-out made a world of difference for my recovery.
I also want to give a special shout-out to the bar team and the rest of the staff. The bartender was so thoughtful, suggesting and preparing drinks that were exactly what I needed given how I was feeling. It’s rare to find a place where people truly observe and care about your well-being like that.
The hotel itself is stunning, and while I couldn't fully dive into the experience this time, I’m already looking forward to my next visit when I can hopefully enjoy the beautiful atmosphere to the fullest. Thank you for everything!

Intimate and sophisticated and in a great part of town. Loved the jazz at night

I have been traveling extensively World Wide on Business and Pleasure since 1980. Hotels and the rooms became a rather boring part of travel. During COVID I found myself locked down in Singapore and as a result was directed to stay at the Duxton Hotel. What a change from the usual Hotel and I loved it. I found the group who owned the Duxton also owned 3 others of a similar concept in Singapore. In February I booked into the Vagabond Club for 4 nights and was so impressed I booked another 4 nights in March. The very quirky features and appearance really appealed to me but more importantly the Hotel Team provided an appropriate service with a much more personal approach.

If you are looking for a quirky but desirable Hotel this is it and its location is equally different but works. Without doubt the most unusual lounge but so much fun and fascination.

From the moment we checked in until we checked out we were treated with kindness and wonderful hospitality. From the manager, Victoria, the front desk associate, Arti to the Service for breakfast each morning - everyone was delightful. The hotel itself is very unique. The Whiskey Library, jazz music and all the artwork made it for a very fun place to stay. Also very conveniently located to many different destinations. Loved every moment. Thank you for making us feel so welcome!

If you are tired of the standard, run-of-the-mill hotel experience, The Vagabond Club is a breath of fresh air. From the moment you walk through the doors, it’s clear that this isn’t your typical stay—it is vibrant, unique, and incredibly fun. The walls are adorned with a curated collection of unique photos, and every corner seems to hold a new surprise, from striking sculptures to bold, artistic decor. It feels more like staying in a high-end private gallery....with a Liquor Library- what fun!!

With only 40 rooms, the atmosphere is intimate, and the staff actually takes the time to get to know every guest, providing a level of personal attention that is hard to find in larger luxury chains. A special mention must go to the manager, Victoria, and her wonderful team. They went above and beyond to make us feel important and special—whether they were assisting with our bags, seamlessly arranging our transportation, or simply checking in to ensure our stay was perfect.

For those who value loyalty benefits and high standards of service, the fact that this is a Marriott property was a significant plus for us.

Shakeela wa super nice and accomodating I stayed here for 2 weeks and she really made my stay very comfortable. Highly recommended to come visit this hotel for first time visitors to Singapore

What a great find lovely hotel most things walking distance or a short taxi ride
If you like whiskey there is over 200 too pick from jazz nights on some nights staff are wonderful

Charme

As a platinum elite member, I was upgraded to Suite at Fourth Floor. The aircon was not working, and I was moved to 2F Courtyard Room at 10pm. The rain shower water pressure at 2F is worse than 4F. The staff said the aircons at 4F were all broken and can only be fixed after two days. I was given a 15% discount restaurant voucher as compensation which I already received during check in, I think the hotel could do better than this. First time staying with this hotel leave a not-so-good impression.

Nevertheless, the service of the staffs made it up and make my experience better. The staffs are all kind and attentive, Aarti helped me with check in and checkout, she remembered my name and asked about my stay, make you feel welcome. Gabriel helped me with luggage as 4F doesn’t have lift to reach, and switched my room at night. The housekeepers responded to my request quickly and were always smiley. The food and service at their executive lounge are also good. My three stars are for each of them.

Excellent service by all staff. Great breakfast and service.
