Hotel suggestion for overnighting at the Singapore airport

[xariatay]

i have to go to Sing next week too, i hate Sing hotels!!!!!!!!!!!!!! they all cost an arm and a leg. Last time i stayed in a backpackers, 40 a night and was the worst thing i have ever been to...

Next up is the hooker type places like Hotel 81. still around 60 a night..

Seems the only decent hotels are at least 100 a night.. silly...

my post can be moved to whine and cheeze

Sorry, have to be a little patriotic here... I think some of the money goes to the feeling of security n safety, when u r in S'pore... Maybe there r lots of cheap places to stay at in other countries but would u feel safe there? Even hooker Hotel 81 is clean, isn't it? To be more comfortable, keep away from Geylang area (red light district). There are Hotel 81 in Chinatown area!
My hubby had to pay USD150 for a hotel 1.5hrs from downtown Mumbai... That is an arm & a leg...

I am also looking. I have a 2 night stopover on my way to Manado.
Last time i spent 3 nights in a nice hotel in Scotts rd. It cost more than my weeks diving in Bunaken!!
I am also looking to get my Mares Abyss Reg serviced. Any idea where & how long this norrmally takes(hrs/days?). This is the 1st time i am getting it serviced.

Scubadudee's hotel suggestion is good! 7th Storey Hotel is really convenient, in town, within walking distance to the dive shops, lots of food... & is not expensive.
Waikiki is the S'pore distributor for Mares Singapore PADI Scuba Diving Centre:.Waikiki Dive Centre:.Five star Training Agency:.Scuba Equipment Retailer:.Deepoutdoors:.Tilos:.Henderson:.Camaro:.Mares:.Dacor:.Sherwood:.Tusa:.Bare:.Mask Contact them for servicing issues... ;-)
Kevster, I look forward to your photos fr Manado...

there is a gap between the budget hotels and the hotels along orchard road...

a big one it seems...

But i agree with xariatay about the safety n security. (Patriotic here again)

Thanks everyone for all the great information!

After extensively pouring over TripAdvisor reviews and various internet booking sites, I went with bidding on Priceline and got The Holiday Inn Riverside at $100 ($126 with all the added doodad fees) Doesn't seem to be located in the funnest part of town but reviewers on TripAdvisor love it.

Happy bubble trails!

Holiday Inn Atrium? It is 5mins from Zouk - which is a popular, if not the most popular Singapore club (for clubbing). ;-) Enjoy your stay!

thats an outstanding price....

I was almost booked in at the YMCA for $177 Sing a night, but a friend of a friend allowed use of an apartment instead. Nice!
