Hotel in Sigapore - advice needed

I 'm looking for a budget hotel in Singapore not too far from the Lavender
Bus Station, say in Little India or Geylang. I plan to spend no more than
100 S$ per night for a room (we are 2 adults and a 7 years children). Do you
have any recommendation ?

btw, i will appreciate any advice about these hotels :

- Tai Hoe Hotel
- New 7th Storey Hotel
- Cactus Hotel
- The Inn at Temple Street
- Hotels 81

Thanks in advance

François

New 7th Storey Hotel -- Mainly Backpackers

The rest -- ??

Little India -- Why not consider Mustafa Hotel?

I wrote several paragraphs in response including info about rooms and how to
reach the hotel and return to the airport. But your e-mail address is invalid.
If you (or anyone else) want my reply, please contact me by e-mail.

Is there some reason that you can't post it here for all to see? I'd like a
look at it myself. TIA

Geylang ! did u say Geylang ?? with children ?

Why not ?
I know Geylang is the "Red Light District" of Singapore, but i have never
been there before. Is Geylang a dangerous place ?

Palace Hotel is a very basic and cheap hotel with reasonably large rooms
easily accomodating three persons. I don't have any current prices. It's
close to Lavender Food Centre.

I would recommend Hotel 81. They are a new chain of budget hotels, all
over Singapore. They have one in Geylang too but I wouldn't recommend
that. You know for yourself that Geylang is a red light district,
pretty sleazy considering you have a kid with you.

Try the Hotel 81 at Chinatown. It is close to the train station and
pretty accessible to other areas of Singapore.

The Inn at Temple Street is a nice little guesthouse. You would
appreciate the entire set up with the surroundings. It is also in the
Chinatown area. In fact, Chinatown has many other hostels. Try surfing
the net for more info.

I am from Singapore, I have just booked for my Sri Lankan friends at the
YMCA, the rooms are S$85 nett, single, S$100double with breakfast. YMCA is
located on orchard road and is next to the MRT station.

Geylang is safe, Singapore is a safe country to walk around. I am not
talking about exceptions.

You may like to look at Mustafa hotel. Mustafa is a 24/7 shopping centre.
You have to be there to see their range of merchandise. I couldnt believe it
myself.

Hotel 81 also runs the Franpani hotels. Hope this helps

We looked at a room in the Chinatown Hotel 81, thinking it could be a
cheaper option for future visits. It must have been designed for "short
time" visitors only, as there was no room around the bed for suitcases or
other belongings!
