NSWP Posted January 11, 2016 #2 Share Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) WE wish to arrive a day early for our cruise leaving from Singapore. Can someone who has done so recommend a hotel to stay at. Need not be the most expensive. Our needs are simple, clean and good beds for sleeping. Thanks in advance. I have been to Singapore three times to and from Europe. . Try IBIS or HOLIDAY INN. The York is also good. Singapore is a very expensive place. Edited January 11, 2016 by NSWP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiserinsg Posted January 11, 2016 #3 Share Posted January 11, 2016 If your cruise docking at Habourfront Cruise Center, there is a Hotel closeby or Hotels in Sentosa ie Hard Rock, Festive Hotel etc Can try Hotel Jen if you prefer downtown, Orchard Road. If you wish to pamper yourself for a 1 night stay, try the Marina Bay Sands. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybella Posted January 11, 2016 #4 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I have been to Singapore 20+ times and have stayed in just as many hotels. Singapore is a small place and taxi's are relatively inexpensive. Its around a 20 minute ride the from airport to Orchard Road (the main hub). It will not take much time from any hotel in Singapore to reach the port. And it certainly will not cost more than $10.00 - 20.00 SGD (in fact a lot less) to get to the port from the hub of Singapore. Royal Plaza on Scotts Road is probably a good hotel to stay near Orchard Road. For Sentosa Island just google Sentosa Island hotels and choose any of the hotels according to your budget - you can not really go wrong. If you stay at Sentosa island there is lot to do here and there is a good shopping mall Vivo City with lots of eateries which can be accessed via the monorail. Singapore - Cruise Ship Passenger Terminals (Pier) The Port of Singapore is Southeast Asia's largest port. There are two cruise terminals. Ships tie up at the new Marina Bay Cruise Center or at the Singapore Cruise Centre, which is part of the large Harbour front Centre and Vivo City. The city's deep water port is a primary embarkation point for cruise companies sailing to other parts of Asia. Some itineraries will take you to Australia, the Mediterranean, or even Africa. Marina Bay Cruise Centre (MBCCS) new facility, also known as International Cruise Terminal, that can accommodate the world's largest cruise vessels. The terminal features a spacious arrival and departure hall, and is used by lines such as Celebrity Cruises, Cunard, Princess Cruises and Royal Caribbean International (RCL). The terminal is located at Marina South next to the Marina South Pier. By MRT Train -- Take the North-South Line or Circle Line and alight at Marina Bay MRT station. You can catch SBS Service 402 to the Marina Bay Cruise Centre Singapore. Singapore Cruise Center (SCC) -- passenger terminal located at the HarbourFront, about a 10- to 15-minute taxi drive from downtown. Used by Star Cruises, Holland America Line (HAL), and some other companies operating smaller ships. SCC at HarbourFront has 2 terminals, the International Passenger Terminal (IPT) and the Regional Ferry Terminal (RFT). By MRT Train -- HarbourFront Centre is accessible from HarbourFront MRT station which is served by both the Circle Line (CCL) and North-East Line (NEL). As these two lines provide connectivity to other lines, you have quick, easy access to many parts of the island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need not be the most expensive. Our needs are simple, clean and good beds for sleeping. Thanks in advance. Check out the Royal Plaza on Scotts. It is near the Orchard Road transit stop. Cost about $175 per night. Plenty of restaurants in the area. It is a 4.5 star with free mini-bar (no alcohol). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Independent hotel, not affiliated to any of the major hotel chains. [YOUTUBE]EPUXn3coyWE[/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussieflyer Posted January 11, 2016 #9 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Cybella, if travelling to Marina Bay pier there is an MRT stop specifically for the pier only a few hundred metres to walk so that changing to the bus is now not required. Some of the old MRT maps don't show the station but newer ones do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ebeth63 Posted January 15, 2016 #13 Share Posted January 15, 2016 We were very happy with Holiday Inn Express at Clarke's Quay in November 2015. Good breakfast and wifi included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
