Step 1
Think about where you would like the location of your hotel in Singapore to be. If you want to be downtown in the business sector, you will be paying a pretty penny, with rates similar to those in downtown New York and Chicago. However, Chinatown and Little India both offer something very different with more reasonable hotel prices. Little India will make you feel as if you are wandering the streets of Calcutta. Do not be worried about safety because Singapore is one of the safest cities in the world, and this holds true for the Little India and Chinatown sections as well. As for hotels in Chinatown, you will be extremely close to the downtown business sector, and it might possibly be the cleanest Chinatown in the world.

Step 2
Think about how many travelers you are with. If there is a large group that cannot split up, you will probably want to stay in the downtown business area. There are few hotels with large rooms in Little India and Chinatown because most of the hotels in the areas are locally owned. Also, due to this, you will pay more for your room.

Step 3
Decide what kind of amenities you will want. Will you want a continental breakfast or a pool? These will push the room rates up. Space within the city is at a premium, so hotels are not generally found with pools on location (unless they are built into the room). To save money, you do not need these amenities. Local street vendors are safe to eat from and inexpensive, and there is always water not too far away while in Singapore, so you can venture off to one of the nearby beaches.

Step 4
Book your room in advance if you would like to to save money on the hotel rate. You can do this online through an online booking agent (such as Expedia.com or Travelocity.com). The further in advance you book your hotel, the cheaper you will be able to secure it. Also, while booking online you will be able to compare the amenities through the website.
