Planing a mini trip to Singapore with G/F. Any recommendations for good / inexpensive hotel or web site?

I wouldn't fancy a two hour drive each time I go to town.

A Singaporean friend of mine recently recommended me the Value Hotels

http://www.valuehotel.com.sg/

They have three in different locations. I've not stayed here myself so cannot recommend from a personal visit, but if recommended by a local it must be worth looking at.

Clearly the poster meant 15, not 115. Drive 115 minutes in Singapore and you are well into Malaysia.

Check the Tiger Airways website, they often have some good deals on Singapore Hotels - we stayed in a Copthorne last year that was good value.

Best to say what you want to spend in US dollars or baht. Anything under 60 US dollars generally means a tiny closet sized room in the red light district of Geylang or a hostel. The pricing structure is much higher than Bangkok. If you are willing to spend over 100 USD then you can start to get something decent, 150 even better.

Thanks for reply's. $100 would be max I would want to pay. Anyone know about accommodations at Maritime House on Containment road? $85 (S110) a night for retired seamen rate.

That phoenix has turned to ashes and has not been reborn...

Is it still operating as a hotel?

TimeKeeper! always doesnt mean tomorrow or even today.Your Phoenix is no more - demolished,there is no trace of it.You will find BIG place called OrchardCentral instead.

But! nearby - around the corner on LLoydsRd there are two charming places:LloydsInn and ShahVilla;I recommend both,but LloydsInn is more homely,not expensive at all,considering

location(120S$).If you are after something better - ParkView HolidayInn is available 5 mins. walk away with very nice roof pool.YMCA on 1 OrchardRd have roof pool as well,for less then 200S$,you can stay in very good dorm there,for much less(40S$).The best and not expensive hotel with pool is called "VIP" in the vicinity of NewtonCircus.(100S$?).

Geylang is not bad nowadays - anti-vice crackdown is going on,girls are not visible,hotels are empty and you are all welcome.Plenty of good restaurants and good public transport.
