thaiflyer1 Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 Ive was in Singapore last month...............you/ll be hard pushed to find a decent hotel in Orchard road for 2-3000 baht/night. Heres a list of hotels in the Orchard Road area with reviews and rates. http://asiarooms.com/singapore/singapore/o..._road-area.html I used Asiarooms to book through...........no problems whatsoever with them.

thaiflyer1 Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 (edited) You might be able to get a room at the Crown Pacific on Orchard for just above 3.000 bahts. If its the Crown at Orchard you mean the lowest rate is 4143 baht........ http://asiarooms.com/singapore/singapore/c...at_orchard.html Location wise its very good but has mixed reviews. Royal Plaza has good reviews but is 5200 a night, then next up the Marriott 6000+.............i stayed at the Marriott and was very happy.

AsiaWolfie Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 try RELC Hotel, its OFF Orchard road, about 5 minutes walk, but in a very quiet and green surrounding. I used to pay 2000 BAHT last September 2004, but when I wanted to book again few weeks ago, I found out they increased the roomrate to about 2600 or 2700. the rooms are big and clean, though the breakfast is a joke. dont go for the usual hotel-booking websites such as asiarooms, its crap for Singapore. Book from a Singapore-based website like I always do. and check w / w / w . sghotels DOT COM they are by far the best and the cheapest and do business in a decent and professional way, SG-style..... not Thai-style as asiarooms do the best bargains u can make at the reservation counters at CHANGI airport, I usually book one of the HOTEL-81 at Geylang for as low as 29 SG-Dollars a night (about 720 Baht) at their counter. all other hotels are discounted too. but if you are scared to arrive there and unable to find a place to sleep (X-mas time for example) then better try that website....

Location: Orchard, Singapore USD 70 Garden Hotel is a bit run-down unless they've renovated recently. It's also a bit of a hike from there to Orchard Road. Closest MRT station is Newton and that's even a bit of a walk. Copthorne Orchid is a nice hotel but calling its location Orchard is really a stretch. It's location is even further out than the Garden Hotel. Anything located in Little India is probably closer to Orchard than is the Copthorne Orchid!

Soph Posted October 24, 2005 Author Share Posted October 24, 2005 Thanks for the helpful replies, found one for 4000 baht a night, a bit over what I wanted to pay, but looking forward to relaxing for a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camble Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Try using priceline.com. On my last visit in May, I was able to get the Marriott for 75 USD, an incredible deal. In February, I stayed at the Orchard Hotel for 45 USD, not as nice as the Marriott but not bad at all. Breakfast not included, but can't complain at those prices.

thohts Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Try the YWCA Fort Canning Lodge. It's about a 3 minute walk from the Douby Gaut station on Orchard Road and another 5 minute walk to the major shopping along that street. The room itself is okay for the price (around 2,000 baht) Check them out here Don't expect much.. most of the hotel rooms in Singapore are small. I stayed in a deluxe club floor room at the Royal Plaza on Scotts and it was about the size of a standard room in the US. You can also try the Robertson Quay, which is about a SIN$3-4 cab ride to Orchard or a 15 minute walk, for about the same price. The rooms are even smaller because of the shape of the hotel, but it's decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geylang is something like a red-light-district, but there is no hassle at all, and the MRT trains are close by .... its not Pattaya.... no one ever bother me there.... and its very much okay for a BUDGET-minded traveller.... so, if you wanna go sleep at Orchard, you pay for it.... I did that too.... when I bring someone with me, I go for Orchard rather, but if I fly to SG alone, for CD SHOPPING f.e., I always stay at Hotel 81....

Right got it sorted now............checked a hotel at random The Marriott hotels.online are quoting 6106 baht/night versus 6223 baht/night from Asiarooms so there is a 117 baht a night difference in your favour..............dont know how the other hotels fair when compared. I/ll still use Asiarooms as last time i went through them i had no problems even though i changed hotels after booking.............sometimes better the devil you know.

AsiaWolfie Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 (edited) well thats no problem at all..... I guess everybody is continueing to book with those companies he made good experience with..... as for me, I always found it more convenient to book a room from a company which is based in the same country as the hotel.... therefore, I usually book an SG-Hotel with a SG website, and a Malaysia hotel with a Malaysian website... for example: If you go to Indonesia, you can get much much better deals to book with a local agency (Indotel) than from any oher website in the world.... in LOS I usually book with passionasia, as they have a online-support, so u can even book ur hotel if you already arrived at ur destination and check the hotel first from the outside... then go to cybernet and make the booking.... and they have a lot of reasonable-priced hotels available on the countryside (Phitsanuloke, Chayaphum, Mae Sai a.s.o.), where hardly any other website has something to offer.... Okay now, lets continue working folks.... END for today Edited October 25, 2005 by AsiaWolfie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lambous Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 www.ratestogo.com I find is very good and very competitive pricewise. I've been doing a few searches on rates for Singapore hotels and they are usally cheaper then Asia Rooms. An example, 2 nights at Royal Plaza $US83 per night, Fri Nov 11 - Sun Nov 13. But on Asiarooms.com they are charing $US127. My past experiences using this site have always been positive. Before booking anything you might want to check out the prices on this site before hand.

karazyal Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 Hi, can anyone recommend a hotel around the Orchard Road area for about 2000 to 3000 baht a night, thanks <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I used this hotel a few years ago, it's not close to Orchard Road, but I think you can get a cheap bus that runs down Orchard. This is an older hotel, it's near temple and within walking distance of the MRT and a couple major bus stops. South East Asia Hotel Pte. Ltd. 190 Waterloo Street, singapore 187965. Telephone numbers and e-mail addresses may not be current. Tel. (65)3382394. E-mail address was [email protected] or Google SouthEast Asia Hotel, Singapore. This was in your price range, all I remember was the free coffee and tea, and boring rooms. java script:emoticon('') Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heng Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 This place is okay, rooms are a bit "old" though.

raro Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 Avoid the Grand Central on Orchard unless they renovated it. Also avoid any budget hotels in Little India, had my worst Singapore experience there a couple of years back. Under any bridge would have been cleaner. The Furama in Chinatown was nice, no idea about the price, though, it was part of the package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But on Asiarooms.com they are charing $US127. My past experiences using this site have always been positive. Before booking anything you might want to check out the prices on this site before hand. Bit misleading this..................that $83 is exclusive of tax and service charge, you dont even know how much the tax and service are going to be until you check in to the hotel as ratestogo only take a deposit and you pay the balance upon arrival. Another point ratestogo $83 is only for stay within the next 14 days or so at any one time............you look at the end of November and they quote $135++ a night.................as opposed to Asiarooms whose $127 which is inclusive of tax and service and can be booked now for anytime through to Feb 2006. Point being you can't plan ahead..........if you wait till the "cheap" room rate becomes available i.e 14 days before travelling then if you go down with one of the budget carriers the airfare will be high. Only other way is to book the airfare well in advance and then take a chance on whats available at ratestogo 14 days before travelling...........but you might not get your desired hotel of course.
