The Singapore Forum

You'd think I'd know the best places but last time I was back in Singas a lot of new hotels had gone up.

Have a friend with twin babies coming to visit Singas. They want somewhere nice and central but are on a reasonable budget.

Places I thought of were Swissotel (is that exp??). What about the hotels around Boat Quay? Can't remember them? There were also some around River Valley Road?? Resort facilities??

Or what about Sentosa? Any ideas most appreciated. Ta

What price range? Would think it would be difficult to get below $100/night, probably $150/night to get a reasonable place.

May be worth a look

Say $150 bucks... thanks for link Daff. Will check it out.

I've just had my second stay in the Hangout at Mount Emily. They have some renovation work going on (well it is Singapore, lah) but I think it's a great place for the price. I paid an average of $85 a night for a private double with ensuite. Last year's room was very small and with no window but fine for sleeping in, which is all we needed. This time they upgraded me to a corner room with two windows, a couch, and more space, plus a brand new bathroom. Seriously considering booking again for September. (It's a backpacker, yes, but I see families there. No frills, no TV, etc., but spotlessly clean.)

There is also a shiny new Ibis at Bencoolen. No idea of prices but might be more suitable with babies.

And no bedbugs, unlike my hotel in Amsterdam.

I remember Hotel Hangout had a cool restaurant. Thanks guys

They've also just opened an Ibis hotel on Bencoolen. Around 150 for a double, not sure about kiddies. But everything brand spanking new and cleen cleen clleeeeen.

Is there an echo in here?

Here?

Here?

Hello? Ello? llo?

Nothing is real until I say it...say it...say it...say i..sayyyy..

it

is there a citadines chain in Singapore?

out company has been using a few of their locations around asia and aus. think they can be a bit hit and miss sometimes. you can get a decently sized serviced apartment for price of hotel room or decent price. with twins that would be good for food prep, and a bit more space.

Just found a link. Was also planning to look at them for when I went through singapore next. So if anyone can comment would be handy.

Aha I saw that new building at Mt Sophia but didn't know what it was. Good one, Tas.

Thanks Tas. Looks good and know the area well. Fanks..

A friend just stayed at the Rendezvous Hotel on Bras Basah for under S$200, said it was really nice.

Thanks Sardonicus... Added to the list of options. Fab.
