Singapore Hotel Recommendation - Find Singapore Hotels on Map

2011-10-10T09:23:00.001-04:00

Recently I have plan my Singapore trip and have collected many information about the Singapore hotels. Here, I would like to share them with you and hope they will be useful for your Singapore trip planning too.

Each time in planing my trip I will search the hotel accommodation with the following three criterias, they are: 1. good quality, 2. good location, and 3. lower room rate (at least reasonable). However, it’s quite difficult to find the qualified hotels in Singapore that can meet all of the above criterias.

Singapore is a small country and city. Hence, the land cost is quite expensive in Singapore. Moreover, the exchange rate of Singapore dollar appreciate constantly in past few years. Therefore, the hotel room rate in Singapore is quite expensive. The room rate for the hotels with normal quality will cost at least SG$150 (about US$130) per night, and most of them between SG$180 to SG$250 (about US$150 to US$200).

In fact, there are many economy hotels in Singapore, such as Hotel81, Fragrance Hotel, Value Hotel, etc.,. The room rates are normally around SG$100(about US$85). However, the quality of these economy hotels is not so good and most of them are located far away from city center or MRT stations.

In the following, you can find the Singapore hotel on the map. They are grouped by price.
