## Questions

**Where is the best area to stay in Singapore for a first visit?**
Guides split between Marina Bay, Orchard Road and the Bugis and Chinatown areas for a first visit; Marina Bay has the main sights and the skyline. For Fri 20 Nov – Sun 22 Nov 2026, the cheapest hotels we can book there are The Clan Hotel Singapore by Far East Hospitality (SGD 321 a night, 9.0/10, non-refundable); Pan Pacific Singapore (SGD 381 a night, 8.9/10, non-refundable); PARKROYAL COLLECTION Marina Bay, Singapore (SGD 438 a night, 9.1/10, free cancellation).

**Should I stay on Sentosa or in the city for Universal Studios Singapore?**
Sentosa puts you next to the park but away from the city's sights and food; HarbourFront and the city centre are a short trip away. For Fri 20 Nov – Sun 22 Nov 2026, the cheapest hotels we can book there are Village Hotel Sentosa by Far East Hospitality (SGD 248 a night, 8.4/10, non-refundable); The Outpost Hotel Sentosa by Far East Hospitality (SGD 282 a night, 8.4/10, non-refundable); Oasia Resort Sentosa by Far East Hospitality (SGD 387 a night, 8.2/10, non-refundable).

**Where should I stay in Singapore near Changi Airport?**
Changi is in the east of the island, and the airport and Jewel have hotels within walking distance, with an MRT line into the city. For Fri 20 Nov – Sun 22 Nov 2026, the cheapest hotels we can book there are Crowne Plaza Changi Airport by IHG (SGD 369 a night, 8.9/10, non-refundable).

**Why are Singapore hotel prices shown with ++ lower than what I pay?**
A rate marked ++ excludes a typical 10% service charge and 9% GST, which adds about 20% (a S$100++ rate costs S$119.90). The prices on this page already include both.

**How are these prices worked out?**
Each price is the cheapest bookable room for the whole 2-night stay for 2 adults, in SGD, with GST and any service charge counted, including any part the hotel collects at check-in. They are checked live through Fostay's hotel supplier and refreshed every six hours.

**How are the areas drawn?**
Each hotel is placed with the nearest landmark in the list (Marina Bay and Raffles Place, Orchard Road, Bugis and Kampong Glam, Chinatown and Tanjong Pagar and so on) if it is within about a kilometre of it, a little more for the large areas. Hotels farther from all of them are left off this page; they are on the full Singapore list. The areas are a guide to walking distance, not official districts.
