FREE | 15 Budget Hostels to Stay in Singapore
Paperdonutholes
Prices included! Singapore can be a very expensive place to travel but it is absolutely possible to travel on a budget. Here are some affordable hostels near to the city! 🏙️
❤️ Important Note: There are plenty of cheap hotels in Singapore such as Hotel 81, Ibis Budget Hotel and Fragrance Hotel. The following list do not contain these hotels as they are typically found in the red-light district of Singapore (Geylang / Aljunied) where crime rate such as gang fights, drug trafficking and sex trade tends to be high. I highly do not recommend travelers do stay in Geylang. Instead, check out the friendly list below!
Let me help you make the best memories! 🚀 If you find this information helpful, any tips are appreciated for my work:)

In April 2023, I brought a group of Americans to Singapore on a low-budget trip where we visited different tourist attractions (for-free!) and soak in the Asian culture. Here's a summary of what you need to know if you are spending a few days in Singapore!
Budget • Adventure • Architecture • Art • Boutique • Luxury • Foodie • Wellness • History • Shopping • Design • Nature • People & Culture • Romantic • Slow Travel • Sustainable/Eco • Photography • Relaxation • Wine • Coffee • Beach • Faith

🌾Wander into hidden nature trails, avoid the crowds and discover less touristy places!
Most visitors to Singapore tend to stick to the traditional tourist trail of Orchard, Marina Bay and City Hall. As a Singaporean, allow me to introduce to you secret free places which locals are visiting without you knowing! 🌷If you find this information helpful, any tips are appreciated for my work :)
If you are interested, I can customize a detailed 2-day itinerary to these off the beaten paths. 🌿

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Paperdonutholes
In April 2023, I brought a group of Americans to Asia on a low-budget trip where we visited different tourist attractions and soak in the Asian culture. I enjoy sharing my knowledge about different cultures and how we can be culturally sensitive when we visit another's country. A few of my favorite memories also include going to the dressing up in Hanboks to visit the Korean Palaces, Florida's Disneyworld, Night Markets in Thailand and floating on the Dead Sea in Israel!
I have stayed and visited in many different countries such as Singapore, Cambodia, Indonesia, Taiwan and the United States etc. My favourite things to do is to climb mountains, visit beaches, eat local food and visit farmer's markets. In Asia, we have a very buzzling night life that I hope you get to experience too!
I hope that you find my information helpful and any tips are appreciated for my work :)
