dbutlerman Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 Hey Guys - A friend of mine is going to Singapore and I mentioned that I have the best travel resource in the world....you guys! So, here's the scoop from my friend - any suggestions would be great - my friends are world travelers - they've been almost everywhere - they are in the their mid-60's but are very active...they are planning on going Mid-February "We are looking for a 3 or 4 star hotel that is in an area/district that is located in the center of all that there is to see, close to the rail line so as to see the things that are not close, and safe to walk to and from at night. In other words we don't want to have to take a taxi to whatever to see what there is to see and we don't mind a mile or so walk." Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! db2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackdice Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 I would suggest http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bugis_Street that street has many cheap hotels 2-5 starts and is close to the city center (Singapore is pretty small) and is also close to rail like. Food is great around the area too, night markets and such Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmj Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 Mandarin Orchard is my pick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 welcome to my country If it were me, I will pick a hotel in Orchard if walk-shopping is a priority. Someone mentioned Mandarin Orchard. That is actually a good choice in terms of proximity, price and comfort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chronoluvvv Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 i've only done the bus tour but yeah that Orchard place would be my pick too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
folex Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 +1 for Mr.A. Mandarin sounds like a nice place, but I feel its more of a 5 star. If you're on budget look for the smaller hotels, perhaps, Orchard Hotel. Singapore's great, lots of food Should ask Mr.A to show you around. If he isn't busy that is. hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torobravo Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 Singapore is very small, so I´m pretty sure they won´t get lost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebvad Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 I typically stay at the shangri-la - it's a little pricey, but they do a killer job. walking distance to orchard towers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sidknee24 Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 I just got back from Singapore and I always stay at the Park Royal on Kitchener Road. Reasonably priced (150/nt) and in Little India. Great food and shopping and the Farrer subway station in across the street! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
