Fraser Place Robertson Walk is a 164-unit, three-and-a-half-pearl complex that's just a few minutes on foot from the riverfront and Clarke Quay. Free shuttle buses run to the business district and downtown. Modern apartments come in a variety of configurations, and the space on offer suits families in particular. The outdoor pool is another bonus for families and those on long stay, and sits near an excellent playground and kids' pool. There's a small cafe that serves food all day and a roomy fitness center has a good selection of cardio and weight-training equipment. The location here is hard to beat, but Pan Pacific Service Suites on Orchard Road offers a high-end alternative and lower rates -- though it's not as kid-friendly.

Housed in a pretty colonial building in the heart of Singapore's Chinatown, the two-and-a-half-pearl Bliss Hotel is a 42-room boutique hotel perfect for busy travelers but not for those who want to spend a lot of leisure time in their hotel. The rooms are small and come in a variety of configurations, from family quads to singles. All have a modern, unfussy finish and sleek bathrooms. Unfortunately many of them lack windows, but there's a nice outdoor area with palm trees and stylish seating for relaxing. There's no restaurant on-site and the hotel doesn't serve breakfast. Guests looking for more features at a similar price might prefer the nearby Holiday Inn Express, which has a pretty rooftop terrace with infinity pool and large whirlpool.

Fragrance Hotel - Ruby is a two-pearl budget hotel with a less-than-ideal location outside of the city center in Singapore’s red light district of Geylang. It is within walking distance of public transportation, making it a bit more attractive to some. With only free Wi-Fi and parking and a few lounge areas with vending machines, most of the focus is on the 168 rooms. They’re contemporary in style, but not entirely spotless. All offer flat-screen TVs, air-conditioning, and kettles; upper-level rooms have mini-fridges. Budget travelers who don’t want to forfeit location or amenities when visiting Singapore should also consider Fortuna Hotel. It’s located in Little India, offers breakfast, and the rooms are slightly larger.

The [email protected] is a budget property with private rooms and some not-often-seen hostel features like dorms with regular beds instead of bunk beds. The 58 rooms are simple, but they offer free bottled water and en-suite bathrooms. Amenities are surprisingly well-rounded, from the small rooftop pool and terrace with seating to a comfy lounge with a TV, computers, and library nook. A free breakfast doesn’t hurt, even if the selections are basic. While there’s enough here to satisfy most budget travelers, keep in mind that it’s at the top of a hill, and the 10-minute walk from the nearest metro could be difficult for some. For a lively hostel experience, travelers could check out The Shophouse The Social Hostel which has similar amenities and a cafe.

The four-and-a-half-pearl Westin Singapore is smack in the middle of Singapore's business district, with lots of polished luxurious style. While it has several meeting spaces, the appeal here goes beyond the suit-and-tie set. The location -- a 10-minute walk from Chinatown and near the metro -- is certainly a plus, though the refined style and impeccable views are all hard to beat. Rooms are modern and spacious, while suites come with high-end touches like Bose sound systems. Wi-Fi, sadly, costs extra. The rooftop infinity pool is fantastic, and there's a proper gym plus a lovely city-view spa. Dining options include a cozy pub, cafe, and live-cooking restaurant. This luxury hotel will be hard to beat, but it might be worth looking at the Sofitel So Singapore for an equally opulent alternative.

Fraser Suites Singapore is a little haven of calm away from the hustle of the city. Set in pretty, leafy grounds along the Singapore River, this four-pearl hotel is a great choice for travelers wanting a relaxing base to retreat to after work or sightseeing. Families are well catered for, with kids' play rooms, a playground, and two pools, while the leisure facilities include a gym for adults. The range of classy apartments include kitchens and living areas with flat-screen TVs, as well as free Wi-Fi. The glass-walled master en-suite bathrooms won't please everyone, but the design is otherwise top-notch. Nespresso machines, washing machines, and upmarket bath products all sweeten the deal. For an alternative, Resorts World Sentosa is worth a look, which is equally family friendly and Sentosa's family attractions are nearby.

Value Hotel Balestier offers a good value for visitors who don't mind a hotel with few features and just want a place to sleep. However, it's worth noting that this budget property's Balestier location isn't exactly near any train stations, but access to the hotel's free shuttle as well as nearby public buses help a great deal. Its 208 rooms are clean and relatively modern, with extras like mini-fridges and bathtubs in some. There is no restaurant on-site, but there are plenty of decent cafes and local eateries in the immediate vicinity. The hotel's sister property Value Hotel Thomson is just up the road and has a pool and an on-site restaurant for guests that want a little more for similar rates.

There are 90 rooms at The Fragrance Hotel, a two-pearl budget property on the outskirts of the city in the Joo Chiat district. With a style renovation done in 2016 that’s more modern and fresh than competing budget properties, it attracts families and couples who don’t mind taking taxis or public transportation to the popular areas of the city. The rooms here have flat-screen TVs and kettles, and all but the Standard Twin Rooms offer mini-fridges; some rooms don't have windows. A lobby, free Wi-Fi, free parking, and laundry are the only amenities available here. Hotel 81 Dickson doesn't have many amenities either, but it's a good alternative property to consider with a Little India location, making it much closer to main attractions.
