That said, today’s hotel feature caters to the needs of all types of vacationers – mainly transit passengers and families.
The hotel is an ideal choice for transit passengers looking for a comfortable stay while waiting for their next flight. Located just a stone’s throw away from Little India MRT Station (NE7/DT12), it makes it easy or guests to get around and explore the city.
Meanwhile, families will love Check-Inn @Little India for its spacious rooms and convenient location. The hotel is close to several kid-friendly attractions such as the Science Center, the Butterfly Park, and the Children's Museum as well!
Room Types
Enough said, we’ve come to the most awaited part… the rooms! A 31-room converted shophouse hotel, Check-Inn @Little India offers 5 room types, split into two categories: leading category and premium rooms.
For the leading category, they have the Single Room, Deluxe Room, Superior Room and Family Room. Whereas, premium options include the Signature Room and Premier Room.
Glimpse into the rooms…
Single Room
Starting off with the humblest of the lot is the Single Room (10 sqm). Compact yet functional, the room is suitable for solo travellers looking to backpack around Little India!
Stylised to fit the hotel’s black and white Peranakan style, the room has a minimalistic design with white, grey and black accents.
Completely windowless to add, it’s the perfect choice to experience true privacy from the hustle and bustle of the area and switch off from the outside world! Doesn’t it sound great? A peaceful night’s rest to recharge from an entire day of exploration.
In terms of room amenities, it is equipped with all the essentials, including air-conditioning, a flat-screen TV, and a private bathroom with a shower and is wifi accessible. The hotel also provides a complimentary hand sanitiser (to ward off the pesky COVID-19 virus)
The room is also fitted with an open-style wardrobe with hangers, an umbrella, a fresh pillow and a safety deposit box. Get some quick and fuss-free refreshments from their simple coffee and tea-making station and mini bar any time of the day when you’re feeling peckish!
Have some work or casual reading to dive your head into? Fret not, the room comes with a work desk and backrest chair that is it is sufficient for a laptop and personal belongings.
Now moving onto the bathroom, everyone’s safe space for reflection… oh I mean to shower!
Definitely on the smaller side but it has all the necessities for a nice warm relaxing shower. A standing shower, comes with a regular hand-held showerhead and daily essentials such as a hair dryer, dental kit, shower cap, cotton buds, and cotton pads.
Bath mats, towels and bedroom linen can be requested for a daily change at a preferred time at no added cost as well!
Deluxe Room
Coming in bigger and slightly more spacious is the second leading category room, Deluxe Room (13 sqm).
Perfect for up to 2 guests, it comes with either a queen size or two single beds. For the best sleeping and lounging experience, guests can choose between two choices of pillows: soft and firm to cater to their needs (what an upgrade!)
Similarly to the Single Room, it is equipped with all the essential room amenities such as a Smart TV for guests to cast their preferred TV show while living with Check-Inn.
Other than these features mentioned above, the room’s amenities and features are identical to the Single Room.
Superior Room
Next up is our first leading category room, the Superior Room (16 sqm). With a total of 11 rooms available in two single beds or a queen bed, enjoy the comforts of the room nestled on Levels 1 and 2.
Named Superior for a reason, the room comes with the step-up of two British Colonial windows (a room with windows!) perfect for those looking to wake up to natural sunlight and the bustling street view.
The room is also fitted with a lounge chair and full-body mirror for you to get ready and enjoy your morning coffee and tea while admiring the district moving around you!
Getting dressed for a night’s out or on a fancy date? Get your clothes ironed in no time with the special amenities: iron and iron board available in the room.
Other than these features mentioned above, the room’s amenities and features are identical to the Deluxe Room.
Family Room
Bringing around some extra “baggage” during your family trip? Haha, we don’t mean your suitcases or backpacks! Your little ones, of course.
The Family Room (34 sqm) is the one for you! More than twice the size of Superior Room, wake up to the vibrant street view overseeing Little India. Twice the size means twice the beds, a queen size and two single beds to house everyone!
Bed orientations can also be requested to suit the guests' needs. To elaborate, if two queen-size beds are preferred, the two single beds can be converted into a King sized bed.
Fret not, there won’t be any fighting or arguing over bathrooms as the room is fitted with two separate private bathrooms.
Tired after a long day of travelling and catching flights? Quench your thirst and fill your tummies with complimentary welcome drinks and refreshments entitled to bookings for Family Rooms!
But with these benefits come certain drawbacks… (which we feel are reasonable!)
Room availability is limited with only two sets of family rooms available for booking. In terms of privacy, there isn’t an interconnecting door between rooms, however, there is still some privacy with the one-door access!
Other than these features mentioned above, the room’s amenities and features are identical to the Superior Room.
Premier Room
Introducing the first half of the highest category room is the Premier Room (16 sqm).
The room is designed in a dark, black theme stylised with marble, rattan and fern elements. It is also fitted with Balinese-style decorations and furnishings. Not to mention, the room is designed by award-winning designer, Miss Hannah situated in Switzerland.
There is also a small lounge area with a coffee table for you to relax and sip your morning coffee and tea before leaving for the hustle and bustle outside.
The bathroom is also designed with a similar aesthetic, lined with Balinese-style printed tiles and a wooden circular mirror, for the ultimate island getaway vibes.
Moreover, the room features a particular scent, 27 Hubei in collaboration with Scent by SIX, which guests can buy at stores or online.
Other than these features mentioned above, the room’s amenities and features are identical to the Superior Room.
Signature Room
Saving the best for last… the other half of the premium category, the Signature Room (16 sqm).
If you were to ask me, I’d definitely prefer this room over the Premier Room. Why is that so? The lighter, white theme screams sophisticated and classy, combined with similar marble, rattan and fern elements.
Talking about ferns, what makes this room so special and different is the beautiful black-and-white backdrop of plants and ferns against the beds. The room also features four paintings of various tropical trees commonly found in Southeast Asia.
Like the premier room, it is lined with Balinese-style printed black tiles but with a circular rattan mirror instead, for the ultimate “showering in an island resort” vibes.
Other than these features mentioned above, the room’s amenities and features are identical to the Premier Room.

Feast on their 14-hour smoked Beef Brisket ($38), one of their smoked signatures and our favourites. Smoked till tender and moist; while having a charred exterior, feel it melts away in your mouth. The meat is filled with a medley of flavours of herbs and spices.

A three-generation family recipe, we guarantee you won’t be disappointed.
Allaudin’s Briyani

What do a plate of fragrant, fluffy rice with tender and well-seasoned meat sound like?
It sounds amazing! So is Allaudin’s Briyani. Choose from Mutton, Chicken or Fish Briyani for ($5), and top up with Chicken Sambal ($3.50), Fried Chicken ($3.50), Fried Fish ($3.50) or Mutton Cutlet ($1.50).
Packed with spices, garlic, onions, cashews and many more… the rice bursts with a fragrant aroma. The chicken drumstick was tender. Generously portioned, the biryani was supposedly accompanied with vegetable dhal and achar (pickled cucumbers).
