Whenever my relatives fly into Singapore for a couple of days, I will book them into the Hotel Asia. Its not pricey and its a short walk from the famous Orchard Road area, which is good for shopping and food. Heres the link http://hotels.online.com.sg/hotels-in-scottsroad.asp

In the same link, you can find the Sheraton. Thats where I booked rooms for some of my business visitors. Its a grand hotel thats near Orchard Road and the traffic is not too bad.

Welcome to Singapore!

Try the Holiday Inn Park View. It's located just off the Orchard Road, near all the shopping and you can get some good flight+hotel deals.

cheap & clean , but nothing fancy.

That hotel in the link above looks like very good value. But it looks a bit far away (in Singapore terms) from the Thai embassy and the other places yoyu probably want to go (CBD).

I stay at the Phoenix Hotel (nr Somerset MRT) when I'm there. But at around S $200 it is a bit pricey. The Holiday Inn mentioned above is also good. Again not cheap though. You get what you pay for as always.

Phoenix used to have computers in the rooms with free Internet access and a McDonals across the street that served cheap B'fasts.

Location is not that bad , but it is not right in the city center.

The price relfects such , but it is not a long journey to Orchard Road and the savings to many are worth it ( me!).

Last time I went there I've checked in at the Orchard Parade hotel, the room is somewhere about 4500 baht, it's got a very good location (3 or 4 minutes walk to the HSBC branch), very close to most of the shopping complexes and really nice rooms. Have fun!

Depends on your budget.

I normally stay at Negara on Claymore (formerly Meritus Negara)

Around 5000baht/night. 3 minutes walk from Thai Embassy. The back of the hotel is opposite the infamous Orchard Towers , if thats your thing

Nice new rooms, nice place overall

[ajarnmark]

Well, I stayed in Golden Landmark Hotel, which is on Bugis Junction. A nice hotel with a decent price of 2,500 baht per night. Walking distance from the MRT (or whatever they call it) and complementary breakfast, swimming pool and nice rooms.

Yes, Golden Landmark Hotel. Bugis junction itself is a train station - MRT (Mass Rapid Transit). 5 mins to Orchard Road and Thai Embassy by train.

OP is it alright if I move this to the travel forum?

Hotel 81 is pretty ok imo. The rooms are clean and the rates are relatively cheap. However, it has gained a dubious reputation for being a sex hotel chain. Well, you cant please everyone.

[Spaniel]

I have never stayed in it but there is a YMCA located very close to Orchard Road. I would think the rates are reasonable and great location. Sorry I dont have the address but a quick google shoud find it.
