It’s too late to get started on that SG50 baby but there’s always a time and place for your budget romp in the sack or romantic weekend staycation.
Whether it’s a no frills (and no windows!) room, a classic elegant hotel or a hidden boutique gem, there are many hotels in our country which will suit your needs and desires. If you’re looking for just a little private space or an indulgent romantic experience, here’s my short list of the best hotels in Singapore for couple time.
Budget Range
Just because you’re on a budget, doesn’t mean you need to settle for a knocking shop hotel in the red-light district. There are some great budget hotels in quaint and heritage rich neighbourhoods.
1. Kam Leng Hotel
383 Jalan Besar
Approx $100/night
This hotel has preserved its old world charm on the exterior and yet inside, the rooms are modern, stylish and clean. Set in the Little India district, it gives you plenty of options for food and drinks for a night out too.
2. Malacca Hotel
97 Still Road
Approx $110/night
This is a no frills budget hotel in the East Coast area. Although not advertised, they do also offer hourly room rates, just enquire at the counter when checking in. No reservation necessary if you’re opting for a couple hours… but it is on a first come first served basis.
Mid Range
Newer midrange hotels are lifting the game with better facilities and good, regular online deals. Check out these boutique Hotels which are popular with both young tourists and trendy instagramers.
