yoga100 Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 (edited) Stayed in a dorm in a hostel in the indian part of town near bugis junction last year but would prefer a single room when i go to singapore in a couple of weeks Anyone know any bargains for a single room with if possible a tv in the room in say bugis junction again or failing that in another part of town???

KhunDave Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 The Hotel 81 chain is cheap and cheerful. Note that some of their sites offer short-time rooms though. Could be a good thing or a bad thing depending upon your point of view..... http://www.hotel81.com.sg/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OriginalPoster Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 (edited) Look up The Prince of Wales guesthouse. As I recall, their dormitory rooms were about S$18 per night and their single (private) rooms were about S$30. Be forewarned though that it's a bit of a party place - bands play there at times and most patrons aren't concerned about going to bed early.

Maybe it's cheap for a cement tower hotel in Singapore but it isn't particularly atmospheric. Personally I'd rather stay at any number of the cheap dives in Little India that cater to backpackers.

JimmyTheMook Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Try the Tai Hoe (yeah I love the name as well) http://www.taihoehotel.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musongman Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 The Fragrance Group of hotels are fine. I have used then before and was satisfied, clean and convenient to transport, moderate tariffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knocka Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 The Regin Hotel is a good budget option close to Kallang MRT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D24 Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 I know you said you didn't want to stay at any hostels, but The Mittra is a good hostel, in Little India..but on a side street minus any noise. It is less than a year old. Staff is great, have wifi in lobby (free), about 22-25SGD/night. Free breakfast.. I stayed there for a while last September, and had a room to myself..bunks were empty. I will stay there again on my return.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrdome Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 The Regin looks very good, thanks for that tip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somluck Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 The Regin looks very good, thanks for that tip. Be forwarned the Regin is situated in Geylang THE red light district, there are streetwalkers at the hotel's entrance. Best value for money besides the 81 or Frangrance chain, there is the Value hotels and Aqueen hotels. Best value for money and location in town Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterme Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Budget choices: Hostelworld is your friend in an unknown city. Throw it between a www. and a .com and you're all set, including reviews of the joint in question. I don't mind paying a bit more in Singapore. Try the ibis for a central location. It is priced higher than the above posted options though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knocka Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 The Regin is on the fringe of the red light district - there were no streetwalkers at the hotels entrance. More likely they are up at the Hotel 81 and Fragrance chains entrances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
