Asphodel Inn: A Singapore Discount Hotel Near the Metro

If you are on a budget trip in Singapore, one of the things that you will need to spend less on is your accommodation. One of the best choices for a cheap hotel in Singapore is the Asphodel Inn. This four-storey boutique hotel can be found in the heart of Little India, a bustling Indian neighborhood in Singapore located near the Singapore River and across Chinatown. In fact, Asphodel Inn is just a stone's throw away from famous temples, including Sakya Muni Buddha Gaya, Sri Perumal and Leong San See.

Situated in Race Course Road, which is ten minutes away from popular destinations, such as Orchard Road and Suntec City, by car, this Singapore budget hotel is strategically located for backpack travelers because it is only five minutes away from the Farrer Park Station of the Mass Rapid Transit system of this city-state. Shopping is also no problem because it is near Mustafa Center.

Much like other affordable accommodations in Singapore, the rooms of Asphodel Inn are about 18 square meters big with either double or queen-sized beds. All rooms are air-conditioned and have small private bathroom and shower. Do not expect to find a Jacuzzi or a steam bath in your room because these amenities are not available in this hotel. However, you will find that each room has IDD telephone, colored television, refrigerator, facilities for making coffee or tea, and two complimentary mineral water everyday.

The rooms of this discount hotel in Singapore are fairly decent for the price. You will find it difficult to find a Singapore budget hotel that is only about 60 Singapore dollars per night for single and double occupancy that is very near the metro. However, it is important to note that if you are very particular about cleanliness, you might reconsider booking at another hotel. Although you will find that the rooms, lobbies and corridors of the hotel are fairly clean, the towels and bed sheets, although newly laundered every time, may contain old stains, such as lipstick stains.
