Hi, I'm working in Hong Kong at moment, and my schedule has freed up midweek and considering going to Singapore for first time for three days Tues - Thurs night then fly back to Hong Kong where I must go back to work.

Any suggestions on most inexpensive way via air to get here, been told Air Asia and also Cebu Pacific, am told Cebu has stop midway going and coming in Phillipines to change planes which wouldn't mind avoiding

Thinking of staying in Geylang Rd area on East Coast side of Singapore, have been told 81hotels and ValueInns offer good value then heard negative things on rooms at Geyland Rd 81 hotel so wondering if anyone could verify, had better suggestions.

Thanks for your time.

jetstar.

and the geylang area is quite sleazy at night. generally most budget hotels here are quite sleazy anyway. i would recommend carlton hotel in bugis area for good value 4 star hotel.

Geylang has a sleazy reputation but it's really colourful n the food's great! Lotsa famous food stalls along Geylang plus it's safe plus it's not too far from the central ( orchard,Esplanade). Many buses ply this route to town n it's only a short journey.

Thanks much everyone, someone told me just ask at airport, I did decide on Cebu Pacific flight out of HKD to SIN via Manilla, they nail one a bit from Manilla to SIN and back.
