Once you book your plane ticket, the next question is “Where should I stay in Singapore?” especially if this is your first time. Don’t worry, because whether you are visiting for business or leisure, you can find the right accommodation. There are hostels, budget hotels, and luxury hotels, so you can book depending on your budget. Although Singapore has a very accessible train and bus system, don’t forget to consider the location of your hotel. Some of the favorite locations of tourists are Bugis, Chinatown, Little India, Sentosa, Orchard Road, Clark Quay, and Marina Bay.
We’ve been to Singapore a few times already, so let me share some hotels that we have tried or my husband has tried in the past. As of this writing, we have tried 6 hotels, but I forgot the name of the first hotel, which is located in Little India, so within walking distance to Mustafa Mall. So if you are looking for accommodation in Singapore, check these hotels.
1. SOUTH EAST ASIA HOTEL
For our second visit to Singapore, I was looking for a budget accommodation, and I stumbled upon the South East Asia Hotel, which is located in Bugis. The rate is only SGD100 per night with complimentary breakfast already. Since this is just a budget hotel, manage your expectations. The hotel has a good location; it is near shopping malls, a market, a money changer, a souvenir shop, and MRT. From the airport, you can just take the train and get off at Bugis station, and walk to the SEA Hotel, about a 6-minute walk.

2. SWISSOTEL MERCHANT COURT
When my husband attended a seminar in Singapore, he stayed at the Swissotel Merchant Court, which is located in the city center. This hotel has good facilities; the room and the swimming pool are also good. It is one of the nicer hotels in Clarke Quay; in fact, when my husband took a taxi and told the driver his hotel, the driver said, “Oh, you have a nice hotel”. It is situated in Clarke Quay, so you have a Singapore River view, you can enjoy your hawkers' food trip, and you can also start your DIY Singapore City Tour here.

3. SHERATON TOWERS SINGAPORE
For our third trip to Singapore, we stayed at Sheraton Towers Singapore, located on Scotts Road, and the nearest MRT is Newton Station. This is a five-star hotel, so expect that the facilities, food, and service are good. The room has a bathtub, so plus point. The food is a little bit expensive, but don’t worry, because Newton Food Centre is just a few minutes' walk from the hotel. My favorite part of the room perks is the complimentary use of a smartphone device. I can use the phone, and I don’t need to turn on my roaming. Yes, I have unlimited internet access during our stay.

4. OASIA HOTEL NOVENA SINGAPORE
Oasia Hotel Novena is the fifth hotel that my husband tried in Singapore. It is located in the Central Business District, with shopping malls, and the nearest MRT Station is Novena. It offers complimentary arrival transfer from the airport, and you can also reimburse one taxi receipt every day up to SGD20. The room and bathroom are small. The facilities are good too; it has a gym, jacuzzi, and lap pool.

5. FOUR POINTS BY SHERATON SINGAPORE RIVERVIEW
Just last month, my husband stayed at Four Points by Sheraton Singapore Riverview. Among the hotels that he tried, he likes the location of this hotel because it is near the Singapore River, within walking distance to his office, and you can also do a walking tour here because some tourist spots are just a few minutes' walk. It offers free shuttle service to the MRT station and Orchard Road, so if you like to shop, you don't need to spend money on transportation. You can just take advantage of the free shuttle to Orchard. This hotel has 3 restaurants, and one of my husband’s favorites is Irodori Japanese Restaurant, so if you love Japanese food, try their buffet lunch and dinner.
