Singapore Getaway

Ming Sing Flowers, Arab Quarter, Singapore

Thanks to Tiger Airways, who are a budget airline based in Singapore, starting routes to Perth next month, Meredith and I were able to book flights to Singapore over Easter for only $500 plus taxes (that’s right, two people return for around AU$1,000!).

Since this time a week or so ago, I have spent many hours researching where to stay. Strangely enough, Meredith believes that I spend too much time researching, and perhaps I have some ‘over research disorder’, but I can’t help it. Visiting a few hundred hotel websites prior to visiting somewhere isn’t unusual, is it?

What’s your Singapore Hotel review? Comment below!

Thirty nine links in one blog post (randomly located too!) - that has to be a record for me?

    God, I love Singapore and I am loving Tiger Airways. Whenever I (or any member of my family) go we stay at either the Rendezvous or the Marriot. Hope you guys have lots of fun and you do lots of shopping!

    You have to do the mid year or christmas sales, they are to die for. Must have stayed in about ten or so hotels in Singapore over the years. After a while they all seem the same, yes you are over researching…

    There are quite a few which I can recommend Miles
    1. Riverview Hotel, Havelock Road (http://www.riverview.com.sg/)

    2. Royal Plaza on Scotts, Scotts Road - near Orchard (http://www.royalplaza.com.sg/)

    3. Phoenix Hotel, Orchard Road - Somerset MRT (http://www.hotelphoenixsingapore.com/)

    You can also check on Pan Pacific, Carlton, Marina Mandarin or Fullerton (this one is definitely the best around)

    Rendezvous Hotel (Bras Basah Rd) is closer to Raffles Area rather than Orchard, good location though.

    Hey, thanks Krissy, Gary & Steven, I’ll be sure to check those places out. Maybe we just need to spend a night at each place, and call it a sampler? Haha!
