penginapan There are two types of cheap accommodation in Singapore. The first is a backpacker hostel, or if the Indonesian better known as the inn. These hotels are usually cheaper, not air-conditioned and sometimes the bathroom was not in every room, but to share (shared bathroom). Such hotels are suitable for the individual backpacker who want efficient, but not suitable for families, let alone that brought the children. Normally the price per night it ranged from S $ 20 to S $ 50. Such hostels usually do not accept payment by credit card, but only accept cash. So that some hostels require us to pay a deposit (above the price of the room) as a warranty, and the deposit will be refunded when we checked out and returned the keys to the reception.

The second is the hotel’s lower middle class, quite a lot around Little India, Bugis and surrounding areas. Prices range from S $ 60 to S $ 100. It is more expensive than the backpacker hostels, but more comfortable, especially for families with children. There is usually a bathroom in every room, although the standard service provided. Some hotels, especially the middle class, accepting payment by credit card.

Please note that many hotels to lower middle class is pretty much scattered around Geylang, but it is recommended to avoid the area, especially for families with children. This is due to Geylang is the red light district was Singapore, where many activities that prostitution flourished in the area. And most of them use the hotels lower middle class for their activities. So, although you may not use the “service” them, but still you have passed them in the hotel lobby, so the environment was not very comfortable, especially for children.

Some famous backpacker hostel in Singapore is InnCrowd Hotel and Fragrance Backpacker Hostel is located in Little India, and the New Seventh Storey (NSS) Hotel is located in Bugis. While some middle-class hotel in Singapore is the hotel Fragrance Hotel 81 and that has many branches in several places in Singapore. Some 81 branches and Fragrance hotel also provides cheap rates for backpackers. Hotel Supreme is one of the cheapest hotel in the middle class Orchard area. A little to the east, the Strand Hotel in Bencoleen Street is not too far away from Dhoby Ghaut and Plaza Singapura. Park View Hotel was also pretty good and cheap.
