Location: 14 Lorong 10 Geylang, Geylang, S399047

K Hotel 14 is a no-frills hotel located in what some say is the most exciting district in Singapore.

With a rich history steeped in multi-cultural migration, Geylang is a treasure trove of historic architecture and cultural diversity.

This unique neighborhood certainly deserves in-depth exploring.

Highlighting the juxtaposition that defines Geylang, you’ll find yourself walking past adult toys shops one second, and clan associations and temples the next.

Not to miss the many durian stalls along the lorongs. For some reason, this pungent creamy luscious fruit just tastes even better eaten by the street side.
