I once stayed in Hotel Claremont in Singapore. This hotel is CHEAP or should I say among the cheapest in Singapore. It is located in little India opposite and across the road from Mustaffa center shopping mall, which is well known in Singapore and is open 24X7 all year long.
That hotel was BAD . Dirty bathroom, dirty cupboard in the room, TV in the room that was not working and refrigerator in the room that had no water bottle in it. Hotel staff had the guts to tell me that I was supposed to buy drinking water bottles from the Mustaffa center.
Due to some problems in my office, I was not sure if I'd be able to leave for 2-3 days. So didn't book the hotel in advance. I was dropped at that place by a cab driver from airport. When I landed at the Changi airport, I just told the cab driver that I wanted to go to an economical and decent hotel and that dude took me there. I landed at Changi at around 5:30 AM and had a meeting scheduled with a client at 9:30 AM. So had no time to hop between Hotels in search of a better one in the morning. Needless to say it is an experience that I'll not forget.
I can't tell which hotel to stay in but I'll never advice even my worst enemy to stay in Hotel Claremont.
Beware of hotels in/around Little India.
