This modern government building is on the to-do lists of many travelers to Newton. But Istana isn't the area's only highlight. Universal Studios Singapore, Haji Lane, and Chinatown Heritage Center are some other recommended attractions close by.

This was a great property for a week's stay in Singapore. Easily walkable to all attractions (or getting transport) with handy access to a 24-hour supermarket. Buffet breakfast offered great options. Our only negative was that the couch in the living area could have been a little larger. Overall, a very comfortable stay and a nice alternative to a hotel room. Would highly recommend.
