A stay at a Singapore hotel can be rather inexpensive because there are many cheap Singapore hotels. An example of a cheap Singapore hotel would be Peninsula Hotel Singapore. Its full name is Peninsula Excelsior Hotel Singapore, formerly Excelsior and is located at 5 Coleman Street, Singapore 179805.
Peninsula Hotel Singapore is right smack in the heart of Singapore. It is located next to the City Hall Mass Rapid Transit Interchange. This is where the North-South Line and the East-West Line meet. What this means is that you can get to practically any place of interest in Singapore effectively and efficiently.
For in-house dining you can choose from a number of options. Firstly there is the Coleman’s at Level 5, Peninsula Tower. Here you will find many of the local dishes. Let me name a few of them (note that these are not proper English words but what the locals use): rojak, laksa, mee siam, teochew porridge, nasi lemak, chicken curry and desserts like nonya kueh and ice kachang.
Secondly there is the Sky Lounge at Level 22, Peninsula Tower. It offers an unobstructed view of the Marina Bay cityscape. Here, you can enjoy an English High Tea or a Sunset 4-course set dinner.
Finally there is the Lobby Lounge where you can have a glass of whisky, or a cocktail, or a Tiger draft beer. You may have a cake with coffee, or a Club sandwich with a soft drink if you choose to.
You can make use of the four versatile function rooms for a seminar, a conference or a party. There is even a grand ballroom that can seat 400 guests. Other facilities include a full-service business centre equipped with broadband internet and a team of professional service providers.
There are 600 guestrooms and suites. The bedrooms from Peninsula Hotel Singapore offer truly spectacular views, especially if you occupy a room at the higher levels. You will then be able to see the Fort Canning Hill, the Singapore River and the Esplanade.
For Recreation you can make use of the two swimming pools for a swim, the gymnasium for a work out or you can sit in the sauna and let its heat induce you to relax. The Peninsula Towers also has about 100 shopping units.
At the time of writing the best available rate is 140 Singapore Dollars. In general most guests really appreciated the views and the central location. However those who stayed at the lower part of the hotel were unhappy with the service and the size of the rooms.
