Places To Stay in Singapore

Where to Stay?

This used to be my worst page in my site with sketchy info at best and most find it useless enough to send me tons of email regarding places to stay. I initially intend to keep this page very short as there are many guides out there and I don't want myself repeating what others had done. My intention still remains. Here are some skeletal information but give a pinch of advice what hotels might be good.

Backpackers Accommodation

Here are some listing. My humble advice is get a copy of Lonely Planet or go to a bookshop & copy the list down. I hate copying information found easily somewhere else for slackers.

My personal recommendation would be the first 2 although I haven't personally experience their hospitality. Check out their guests comments and you will know what I mean.

  • The InnCrowd - I seriously think backpackers will love this place. It is totally unreal. You have to check it out to believe it. Book early to avoid disappointment (dorm S$18 with b/f and Internet use; 35 Campbell Lane Singapore 209907 or V2 at 73 Dunlop Street Singapore 209401)
  • BetelBox - This is another relatively new establishment. Situated at Joo Chiat (area with strong Peranakan heritage) means that it is slightly off the city center but is near a less touristy part of Singapore where it don't feel like Singapore. It charges S$18 per night that comes with breakfast and Internet Access. 
  • Why Not homestead (tel: 3388838, 127 Bencoolen St, S$25 for room with 2 beds)
  • The New 7th Storey Hotel - This one has a website with pictures and rates. Good location in the heart of downtown.
  • Lee Boarding House (tel: 63383149, dorm bed at US$8, singles at US$19, US$29(aircon)
  • Lee Traveller's Club (tel: 63395490, 6th floor Fu Yuen bldg, 75 beach rd) dorm bed at US$8 singles US$15
  • Waffles Home Stay (tel: 63341608) 3rd floor 490 North bridge Rd. Dorm US$8-10
  • New Backpacker Lodge (tel: 63348042) 18A
  • Liang Seah St dorm US$8
  • YMCA - there are 3 of them in Singapore. Don't bother with them. There are many better and cheaper alternatives here in Singapore. I feel the Y have failed to reinvent itself to be a successful model.

Inexpensive Hotels

Well, value for money ought to be a better word. These are by no means the only ones. Singapore is small enough that I don't frequent hotels other than attending weddings, seminars, high tea. Therefore I can't really comment on all of them.

Online Resources

Here are some links where you can check out the location, rates and some allows an online booking.

For less than US$70 try
1) Grand Plaza Hotel - Located just 5 mins from City Hall MRT makes this hotel a jewel for the price u pay. (Refer to map below.)
2) Amara Hotel - Located in the CBD. A few MRT (Metro, Undergroud) stops to Orchard Rd
3) Plaza Parkroyal Hotel - Located at Beach Rd. 15mins walk to Bugis MRT and 20 mins walk to City Hall MRT gives you a reasonable distance from downtown.

Map of area around City Hall MRT - Stone throw access to St Andrew Cathedral, Chjimes, The Padang, The National Museum, Raffles City and Suntec City Shopping Mall . Check out the links above to see more details of these hotels.

For slightly over US$70, try

Orchard Hotel - 5-10 mins away from Orchard MRT and just beside Hard Rock Cafe
Phoenix Hotel - Right beside Somerset MRT and in the heart of Orchard Rd.

Check out the links above to see more details of these hotels. Some includes special Internet rates.


Disclaimer

The list above is by no means all the places to stay. I would like to add more list of cheap hotels when time permits.

Again prices change & may not be as accurate as intended. I am not in anyway related to these businesses nor earn payment in any form from them or anyone. There are no reason to place these businesses here except To help people get some info. I will not be responsible for any damages or claims should the hotel here fails you in anyway.
