Artamus Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Hotel 81 on the east coast. 115 minute drive into the city and 15 minute drive to the airportcheers 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Clearly the poster meant 15, not 115. Drive 115 minutes in Singapore and you are well into Malaysia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiang mai Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 (edited) 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. Edited March 7, 2010 by Jingthing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willyumcr Posted March 7, 2010 Author Share Posted March 7, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fantuzi Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 i always stay at the Hotel Phoenix on Orchard Road, right in the heart of the city. 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.
