You want to visit one of the most prosperous and dynamic cities in Asia. Experience its multicultural diversity. Delight in a wide variety of exotic dishes. Shop for hours to find the perfect gift. Immerse yourself in the arts and culture. And you want to do it on a dime without compromising what is important to you.
We understand. That is why we have created these guidelines for you to consider before booking any hotel in Singapore. If you're on a budget, you already know that you can't have it all, especially in this expensive city. It is important to know what you intend to do on your trip, what your needs are and what you do not want to compromise on. We suggest thinking about the following before booking a cheap hotel in Singapore:
What kind of traveler are you?
For budget travelers on business trips, accessibility to Singapore's business districts such as Raffles Place and Marina Bay will be a top priority. You can consider budget hotels in outlying areas of the city such as Bugis and Chinatown that are well connected to the business districts through the public rail system, Mass Rapid Transit (MRT).
If you go shopping, you may want to stay at budget hotels located just outside the famous Orchard Road shopping area.
If you love to immerse yourself in culture, you can enjoy hotels in Little India, Chinatown, and the Peranakan enclave, Joo Chiat.
What hotel services should you have?
Make a list of the things you really want in a hotel. Is the location the most important? Or do you prefer better rooms in a hotel further away from the MRT station? Are you looking for really cheap Singapore hotels at rock bottom prices?
Or do you expect facilities like a swimming pool and gym? Do you need free Wi-Fi access? How about having cheap restaurants and street vendor centers close by?
For those budget travelers who want comfort at the cheapest room price, they can consider Geylang, Singapore's infamous red light district. It is only 15 minutes by train from Geylang to the city center.
What do you not commit yourself to?
We all have a different minimum standard in terms of comfort, so it is important to know which one is yours. If you need light, make sure your room has windows. If you don't like wet bathrooms, you should look for bathrooms with shower screens.
A good budget class hotel that fits the bill above is the reviews of Shangri-La Hotel Singapore located in the Bugis area.
Who travels with you
The people you travel with will influence your hotel choice. If you are traveling in a group with friends or family, you must ensure that the room you reserve can accommodate an additional bed.
Look for hotels that offer family rooms. These are larger rooms that often have additional amenities. And very often they are much cheaper than reserving an additional room.
In general, international hotel chains such as Ibis (Bencoolen and Novena) and Days Hotel at Balestier offer this type of family room.
Do you want a unique experience?
If you're looking for a quirky and memorable hotel stay, it's possible to find budget boutique hotels that offer history and style in abundance. They can be found mainly in Chinatown and Little India, Singapore's historic districts.
