Top 5 Choices for Staycation in Singapore Below $200 Per Night

Long weekend is very rare in Singapore and when it happens, people tend to go crazy to celebrate the long weekend. Nowadays with the economy not doing very well, we try to save cost in our spending by going for a budget trip and so on. But sometimes, the desire not to compromise comfort over cost cannot be resisted (especially after long working days in the office). When the desire comes with restriction in budget, it is probably time to consider a weekend staycation. Since Labour Day weekend is coming, it does not hurt to check out the rate for the top 5 choices for staycation in Singapore. All of these one night rates are below $200 (before tax though). Cool, right?

1. Parkroyal on Pickering

I often walk past Parkroyal on Pickering when I went out for lunch around Far East Square as my office is located pretty near to the hotel. We even had team lunch at the hotel's restaurant before and I could vouch that the international lunch buffet at Parkroyal on Pickering  is very recommended. One night at Parkroyal on Pickering  during that Labour Day long weekend costs $199 before tax. The swimming pool may not that big but it looks pretty cozy up there right at the pool side. 

2. Pan Pacific Singapore

My colleague has always been a loyal fan to Pan Pacific Singapore, which is located in City Hall area. When I asked her what makes her to keep coming back to Pan Pacific Singapore, she excitedly mentioned about the breakfast buffet spread that Pan Pacific Singapore offer. In addition, as the hotel is located in City Hall, which is considered CBD in Singapore, the night view that the hotel offers should be quite a feat. One night at Pan Pacific Singapore costs $190 before tax.

3. Crowne Plaza Changi Airport

Crowne Plaza Changi Airport is guaranteed to give you a different experience from the usual staycation which you may have done before. It is simply because it is located at the airport, connected to Terminal 3 of Changi Airport. The hotel is also recommended for those travellers who reach Singapore at the wee hour. One night at Crowne Plaza Changi Airport costs $184 before tax.

4. Grand Park Orchard

Featuring a grand glass facade, Grand Park Orchard is located right at the centre of Orchard Road. This makes the hotel as favourite choice of accommodation for shoppers. It is located at a walking distance from both Somerset and Orchard MRT. The hotel is surrounded by shopping malls so yes, it is the best choice for shopaholic who come to shop in Singapore. One night at Grand Park Orchard costs $187 before tax.

5. Mandarin Orchard

Mandarin Orchard is located right opposite Grand Park Orchard. Although the entrance to the hotel may not be visible from Orchard Road as the hotel is linked to Mandarin Gallery. I stayed here before and I quite enjoyed the experience here. The bathroom is equipped with a bath tub. The room is spacious enough. And the breakfast spread offered by Mandarin Orchard is so delicious. One night at Mandarin Orchard costs $169 before tax.
