Victoria Hotel is a budget option right in Singapore's city center. There's little on-site save for a hair salon, but the hotel is close to public transportation and there are plenty of shopping and dining options -- including a couple of complexes with eclectic food courts -- right outside the hotel. The Standard Rooms are small and general renovations are needed throughout the hotel -- stained carpets and moldy bathroom tiles are not uncommon sights. The nearby Hotel 81-Bugis is equally slim on amenities, but has more contemporary rooms at similar rates.
