Finally, after days and months of searching for a hotel for our SG trip, I was finally able to do my booking just this morning.
At first I was having second thoughts of booking a hotel along Orchard road and my first option is the Summerview hotel along Bencoleen St. (Bugis and Arab Street). It is P4000 cheaper than the hotels along Orchard road but after reading the reviews and getting the opinions of my friends and officemates who have been there, they discouraged me to book that hotel. Since we have a two year old daughter traveling with us and they said that it is not really a good place if you are traveling with a toddler since some of the rooms don’t have windows and there is a night market which makes it really noisy in the evening.
I also asked for my husband’s opinion and he reminded me of our bad experience when we stayed at a hostel in Hong Kong. I was trying to save money that time since we are traveling as a big group so we all decided to sacrifice comfort over money. And honestly, I really hate the kind of accommodation that we got there and swore that I will never do it again.
And so I gave in. I realized that I can never find a good accommodation for my budget along Orchard road so I really have to increase our budget for hotel accommodation. And with hubby’s go signal and assurance that he will give additional money for our accommodation, I booked our hotel today.
I booked a superior triple occupancy room at YMCA International House along Orchard road. I read the reviews and all reviews are good. Plus it is located next to a bus stop and MTR station.
I just booked online via Asia Travel. This is my second time that I booked a hotel through them and it was a breeze. I just entered my credit card details and in just minutes, our rooms are confirmed and I immediately received our Hotel Voucher.
So next on my To do list: do some research and plan our itinerary.
