Stephanie LauwAccording to a report by The Economist Intelligence Unit, Singapore has been deemed the most expensive city for the last five years. Indeed, factoring in its scarcity of resources with the shocking state of the art technology it offers, the country is undoubtedly more costly to vacation compared to its regional counterparts.
Nonetheless, it is still very much possible to plan a Singapore holiday under a budget – these cheap hotels under $90 a night are great options that’ll ensure you don’t burn a hole in your wallet! Moreover, we’ve picked newly-opened accommodations which suggests that their renovated rooms are still in tip-top condition.
