budget lodgings in Singapore
Hi,
I'll be in Singapore for a couple of days. Can anyone recommend any cheap lodgings? (S$30 or so) I believe there are a few in the Little India and Chinatown area. Will there be any problems with getting a room without booking? Thanks |

Last September I booked in to McKenzie hostel along a street by the same name in Little India. Decently spacious rooms cost from S$25 (fan rooms) on. It was cheap by Singaporean standards. |

If he get's upset he may sulk off and then where are we going to obtain the comic relief from? |
Re: budget lodgings in Singapore
Hi,
A favourite of mine was Lee's Travellers Club on Beach Road, a couple of blocks east of Raffles Hotel. It has dorms which are clean and have a/c at night. It's great place to meet backpackers and socialise. I preferred this to some of the places with cheap rooms.

They definitely do a good job keeping it clean (the no-shoes-in-the-dorm rule helps heaps), and some of the staff are really great. There are double and triple rooms available as well, though you still share kitchen adn bath with the dorms. It's a few (not many) blocks farther from some areas of interest, but the neighborhood between Lee Travelers Club and Bugis is a good sort of affordable chic, with interesting restaurants and cafes. miguel -- Hit The Road!

Re: budget lodgings in Singapore
I can recommend the Dragon Inn, Mosque Street, Chinatown. Clean en suite rooms with
TV & air conditioning unit. Electric Kettle in room with Tea & Coffee sachets to make your own drinks. They do not do food however there is a good Chinese cafe opposite opens at 7 am for breakfast, and 2 Hawker centres nearby. Stop there every time I go to Singapore to work. Tel. (65)2227227 Fax.

Re: budget lodgings in Singapore
For S$30 be prepared for a room with bedbugs. I recommend the Haising Hotel at S$45
for a single room with airconditiong atached shower and tv. Local calls are also free. If you want a cheaper option the dormitory is $20 per head. You can visit their web page at http://haising.com.sg and make a booking. On 2 Aug 2002 14:21:11 GMT, dleboone <[email protected]> wrote: >Hi, I'll be in Singapore for a couple of days.
