Don’t Say Bojio: Up To 80% Off Staycation Stays in These 10 S’pore Hotels

Singapore has long been in the second phase of its safe recovery and the Covid-19 situation seems to be improving, but residents are still not advised to jet off to other countries.

Sadly, the only travelling we do now is from our houses to the hawker centre for a bowl of Chendol.

But what if I told you there was a way to enjoy a vacation away from home right here in Singapore?

I am indeed.

Pack your bags, kiss your bed goodbye, and grab your family because here are 10 awesome staycations you could have at a discounted price!

Budget

If you’re like me, parting with money is more painful than going to the dentist. So, the idea of a staycation in Singapore, where hotels and resorts are notoriously expensive, might put you off.

But there are actually a few reasonably-priced options available, ones that certainly haven’t compromised on swankiness.

According to Agoda, the hotel is currently offering an 80% discount on its rooms, so staycationers only need to fork out $88 for a standard room which includes a queen bed and a rather glossy bathroom.

Hotel Soloha @ Chinatown ($99)

Another budget option to consider is the newly-opened Hotel Soloha @ Chinatown, which is situated along Teck Lim Road.
