Advice where to stay for single female

HI,

I am wondering if you can help. I am trying to find a hotel for July that is suitable for a single female that is close to mrt station for 2nights. I am looking for something around S$160 a night.

Any adivce would be welcome as I am unsure what part of the city would be best for me for sightseeing.

Thanks

Singapore is pretty safe everywhere. Perhaps the only place to avoid will be the red light district, Geylang. But that will be the place where you can find cheaper accomodation. If you want to be near sightseeing attractions, then you should stay in the city, along Orchard Rd. But the hotel here will be expensive. You can also try some of the hotels just outside the city, like in Little India. There are hotels which are near MRT stations in all the areas mentioned above. But the actual distances you will have to check out the hotel%26#39;s location map. $160 budget will not give you much choices of hotels in Singapore.

Adding on to the previous post, you may wish to check out the some of the following hotels (local website Asiatravel.com) which meet your criteria:

Carlton Hotel (near City Hall MRT station);

Concorde Hotel (formerly the Meridien, along Orchard Road, between Somerset and Dhoby Ghaut MRT stations);

Hotel Rendezvous (near Dhoby Gaut MRT station);

Park Hotel Orchard (formerly Crown Prince Hotel, along Orchard Road near Somerset MRT);

YMCA Orchard (near Dhoby Ghaut MRT station).

Good luck.

hi smurfette,

For budget hotels you may check Hotel81 and Fragrance Hotels, e.g.:

Hotel81 Chinatown

Hotel81 Bugis

...

www.hotel81.com.sg

www.fragrancehotel.com

Avoid those are located in Geylang area: it%26#39;s a red light district.

try the new Ibis Bencoolen or the Link ($138 all in).

Btw, is $160 including taxes and SC ?

good luck

Hello,

What about the YWCA Fort Canning Lodge. Has dorm rooms, plus hotel rooms. Near Dhoby Ghaut MRT.

Hi Smurfette,

IMHO, if you have the intention to stay up late at night (after 10pm) I will not recommend a young single lady to stay in streets of Little India, and certain less touristy or dimmer parts of Bugis and even Chinatown.

Singapore%26#39;s red light districts is not just restricted to Geylang, even though that is the so-called ';official'; areas.

Some singaporeans may think i%26#39;m too cautious, but after having some bad experiences as a local myself, I wouldnt want to recommend otherwise to travellers.

Stick to the more ';light-up'; areas and you%26#39;ll do fine in Sg.

Cheers,

Suying

We ladies have booked the South east Asia hotel and i believe it is run by 2 women.

It is in a great location.

I also know a single woman that travels to Singapore quite a bit and she always stays at The Merchant court hotel.

Yes, Merchant Court is a good area to stay. =)

Elizabeth Hotel is fine for accommodation. Eating there I would not do. Breakfast is o.k.

A friend of mine phoned them and got a price of 138 S$ without breakfast. This was last week. It is very central and not far from Orchard MRT.
