15 Secretly Funny People Working in TrivagoPosted by Mariko on May 13th, 2021 Picking the right accommodation in Singapore depends on your budget and requirements. Most hotels come with standard facilities like International Direct Dial (IDD) phones, internet and cable, room service, mini bars, data ports for modem, meeting rooms, no-smoking rooms or floors, business and fitness centres furnished with the latest equipment. If you are on a shoestring, look for hotels that provide just the bed and bathroom. Most hotels have promotional rates available from time to time, we recommend that you check directly with the hotel before making any reservations. The locations of the hotels affect the rates of the room. The closer you are to prime shopping districts, the more expensive the rooms are. Hotels along Orchard Road are the priciest, while those along Bencoolen Street are the cheapest. But there are many affordable hotels that are near train and bus stations, so picking one hotel near them would greatly enhance your daily commuting needs.
