Hotels vs Hostels in Singapore

Hotels come in varied scale, proximity to the city center, prices, and facilities offered. For the leisure or business traveler on a short-term visit to Singapore, hotels still offer the easiest, quickest, and most convenient arrangements. Almost all international hotel chains have a branch in Singapore. There are at least 20 luxury 5-star hotels in the country. World-class services, excellent facilities, very comfortable accommodation, and simply beautiful spaces make Singapore hotels renowned the world over.

Depending on your budget and preference, you can choose from a variety of hotels that ranges from 2-star to 5-star. Price scale of Singapore hotels come in a wide spectrum, from well over S$1,000 to a little under S$200 a day at the cheapest.

Elizabeth-A Far East Hotel, Scarlet Hotel, and Rendezvous Hotel Singapore-A Clarion Collection are in the S$180-S$235 lowest daily rate bracket. Among the cheaper hotels that offer a lowest daily rate range of S$220-S$280 are Gallery Hotel, Marina Mandarin Singapore, Goodwood Park Hotel, Orchard Parade-A Far East Hotel, Traders Hotel Singapore by Shangri-la, Pan Pacific Singapore, Novotel Clarke Quay Singapore, and Royal Plaza On Scotts. Conrad Singapore charges a lowest daily rate of about S$300, while the Marriot Singapore charges a little over S$450 at the least for a day’s stay.

Cheaper short-term accommodation in hostels is another viable option for you if you are traveling on a tighter budget. Almost all of these places offer such facilities as laundry, kitchen, lockers, free internet/broadband access, free coffee and tea, even a library. It is typical for these hostels to promote such differentiating advantages as their nearness to MRT stations and a no-curfew policy.

You might encounter the term “common room” in some of these hostels’ advertisements. In Singapore, this is usually defined as a room that has no attached toilet or bathroom. The bathroom is found outside, usually in the kitchen area. Request for an electric fan or opt for a room with a ceiling fan if the space you are renting does not have airconditioning. Singapore can be hot and humid most of the year.
