Last January, I had the opportunity again to travel, one of my favorite things to do (when I have money haha). And well, this time, it's out of the country, the Lion City, Singapore.
Going to Singapore means that we would have to search for a cheap hotel that is near transportation and is near food establishments as well. Mind you, it's not easy finding a cheap hotel in Singapore that is not a backpacker inn.
So after months of debating and searching we found the cheapest hotel that time which had an ok location, and we chose Fragrance Hotel - Pearl.
Fragrance hotel is one of the chains of hotels that offers affordable accommodation for tourists in Singapore. The Fragrance Hotel - Pearl is located at 21 Lorong 14 Geylang. It is near a bus stop and is 10 minutes walk to Aljunied Station. It's also near hawkers and there's also a supermarket nearby so you can buy your food from there.
When we were dropped off by the shuttle service from the airport (costs SGD9.00 each), we were greeted by this facade and was greeted by accommodating and friendly staffs.
After checking in, we went up to see our room.
Something greeted us when we opened the room, well it was 1 cockroach. I know it seems filthy when you hear that there's cockroach in the room, but it was just 1 and the room was surprisingly clean.
It is a little small but I can't complain since we only got this for SGD 50+ a night. The deal breaker for me is always the bathroom.
Their bathroom was too small but we can manage. At least we had a private bathroom and it is clean by the way.
They have complimentary toiletries, towels, water and coffee as well. One thing that was lacking here was a free WIFI in their rooms. You may have internet but you would have to pay for it and once the time of the internet usage was started, it can't be paused so it's really not worth it.
If you would like to check out Fragrance hotel - Pearl you may go to below location.
