Lion City, as the name of this South Asian metropolis is translated, is a masterpiece of modern architecture, amazing cultural sites, lots of entertainment and amazing cleanliness of the streets. But in this material, we will talk about what kind of living in Singapore is considered the best and optimal, which points are important, which are secondary.
Accommodation in Singapore - options
There are many options for accommodation in Singapore, the following are especially popular among tourists:
- hotels of different star levels, respectively, of different prices;
- hostels that allow you to spend more time on excursions;
- apartments for tourists who dream of spending at least part of the day alone and real relaxation.
Among the most exotic offers in Singapore in terms of accommodation are capsule hotels, which are somewhat close to hostels, since they have the lowest cost, are mini-rooms, which actually contain only a bed and a flat-screen TV (in some hotels, the TV is located in lounge area). Many of these capsule hotels are equipped with snack bars, in addition to accommodation, breakfast may be included in the price. At the request of clients, excursions around the city and monuments of history and culture are organized.
Other exotic offers in Singapore include: a boat - a cross between a hotel and a ship, allowing you to travel on water without actually leaving your room; chalet; villas; farm houses. The latter option is especially interesting because, on the one hand, it is located within the city limits, on the other hand, it allows you to do the favorite things of the villagers - ride a bike, horseback, and shoot a bow.
Luxurious villas are often part of 5 * hotels, designed for foreign guests who dream of living with great comfort, in the city center and at the same time secluded. In addition to trips to memorable places in Singapore, there is a lot of entertainment on the territory of the hotel complexes, bars, restaurants, clubs, amusement parks.
Where and how much?
Orchard Road is called the street of the most expensive hotels, it is also the main tourist street. The second popular accommodation for guests is in the Raffles area. The nearby hotel has the same name, which has gained fame as the most expensive Singapore hotel; a day in it will cost a tourist no less than $ 600.
Fans of outdoor activities and newfangled entertainment choose a theme park called Universal Studios Singapore, which houses several popular hotels. If you want peace and quiet at night, then it is better to choose a place to stay away from the city center. The hotels here offer quite comfortable rooms, and their cost is much lower than in the center. The cheapest hotels offer rooms up to $ 50 per night, hostels - from $ 15 to $ 40.
Business hotels are also popular with foreigners, designed primarily for those guests who arrive for business purposes, find potential partners, and hold negotiations. Such hotels are equipped with everything necessary for a full-fledged business, but at the same time offer a rich entertainment program.
Summing up, we note that Singapore is considered one of the most expensive cities in the world, hotel accommodation is much more expensive than in neighboring countries. On the other hand, cleanliness, comfort and the highest level of service are guaranteed.
