Villa Puri Royan - Jimbaran

I thought it could be interesting to write little reviews of the places I stay at, for the people at so they can see where I sleep and for future travellers who are looking for accomodation... So this is the first one:

I found this place on the internet (I'll post a link later). It was the ideal place for me to stay when I arrived in Bali. It's cheap (about 10 euro/night for the cheapest room, breakfast incl.) and they offer a free airport pickup.
The room was simple and very clean, though there were some marks on the wall from leak in the bathroom, I think. There was a fan, fridge and hot water and there was a nice swimming pool. The staff was very friendly.
For breakfast you could choose between banana pancakes, toast or fried noodles with orange juice (from a package), tea and coffee.
The room had a balcony at the back with view of the village, the temple and even the sea, very far away and at the front of the room there was an area to sit with view of the pool.
It is very close to the beach and the seafood restaurants...

Design hotels in Singapore

Hotel Review


If I had all the money in the world, I wouldn't hesitate where to stay in Singapore. I would stay at the New Majestic Hotel *****. I looks like a really cool place to stay, with all that design furniture and those great graphics on the walls of the rooms. Rates start at 240 S$, which is way over my budget, but even though I'm considering staying there for a night or so, maybe at the end of my trip, if I still have some money left over...

Another good option would be the Hotel 1929 ****, a sister from the New Majestic Hotel. It's quite a bit cheaper with rates starting at 130 S$ for a single bedroom.

Where to stay in Singapore?

Hotel Review

I'm thinking of staying at one ofe the following hotels in Singapore:

- One Florence Close , which seems to be a really nice budget place but it's unclear to me where exactly they are located. They don' have a map on their website.

- The Frangrance Hotels seem quite nice too. There are several hotels located in different places, but again I'm not sure whether they are located in a nice area.

- Tekka Boarding House seems to be nice too. Though I think rooms could be small and windowless, but they seem to be new and clean. And it's located in Little India.

- Tekka Hotel is from the same chain. I think it's location is slightly better than the boarding house, but I'm not sure.

- The Robertson Quay Hotel is a bit more expensive, but seems to have a great location next to the river and close to Chinatown and Litle India.

If anyone has stayed at any of these places, please let me know what they were like. Or if you have any other recommendations for budget places...
