Hence, it is not surprising that the top three favorite budget hotels are located near Bugis MRT train station.

Singapore (PRWEB) April 02, 2013

Based on travelers’ feedback and in-house statistics conducted by Budgethotels.sg, Ibis Singapore on Bencoolen, Econ Inn Bugis and Marrison Hotel emerge as top favorites from a pool of more than 30 budget hotels in the Bugis area.

The Ibis Hotel Singapore is rated the best value-for-money hotel while the cheapest hotel is Econ Inn Bugis. The Marrison Hotel is rated as a favorite for its close proximity to Bugis MRT (EW12) train station.

Danny Lee, founder of BudgetHotels.sg said: “From our statistics, we concluded that there are two different profiles of budget travelers. The first group goes for extremely cheap hotels and is willing to forgo some level of comfort and amenities. The second group does not mind paying slightly more for comfort, better amenities and well-known hotel chains. A key consideration for travelers when they book hotel rooms is the accessibility to public transport.

“Hence, it is not surprising that the top three favorite budget hotels are located near Bugis MRT train station.”

Ibis Bencoolen Singapore is an award-winning economy-tier hotel brand from Accor, the world’s leading hotel operator. Having consecutively won the TTG Asia travel award “Best Budget Hotel in Asia Pacific” from 2009 to 2012, this 538-room budget hotel seems to be hitting on all the right notes with travelers. Each room features a work desk, LCD TV, coffee and tea-making facilities, shower room and comes with free Wi-Fi. The room rate starts from US$140 per night.

The 38-room Econ Inn Bugis, while it may not have won a single award, has won over budget travelers with its affordability. From US$60 per night, it is probably the cheapest hotel in downtown Bugis. The rooms are small as compared to the European room standards. However, they are equipped with basic amenities such as LCD TV, shower room and free Wi-Fi.

Marrison Hotel is a three-star hotel, and a five-minute walk from Bugis MRT train station. This 96-room hotel, with room rate starting from US$100 per night, targets budget travelers who are looking for best convenience. All the rooms are equipped with flat-screen TV, tea and coffee-making facilities, attached shower and free Wi-Fi.

Psy to turn "Gentleman" in new song, rapper says

SEOUL: South Korean rapper Psy plans to follow his “Gangnam Style” YouTube megahit with a single called “Gentleman” and a new dance, but is playing coy about everything else ahead of the song’s release, which was moved up a day to April 12.

The song will be available for Korean fans then, but Psy will perform it in public for the first time at an April 13 concert.

“The new song is extremely fun and … what I can tell you is the song title is ‘Gentleman’”, Psy told local television late on Monday.

“I can’t tell you about the dance but all Koreans know this dance – but (those in) other countries haven’t seen it”, Psy added, hinting at a takeoff on a traditional dance.

The music video for “Gangnam Style”, which featured the chubby Psy doing what has become his trademark ‘invisible horse’ dance in a succession of garish jackets, is now YouTube’s most-watched clip, and has made the 35-year-old a global celebrity.

Both the singer and his manager said plans remained fluid.

“There is still more than a week left before the concert so we can’t say (the title) will be unchanged,” manager Hwang Kyu-wan told Reuters.

Psy has told his fans to turn up sporting white clothes at the upcoming concert, and posed in a variety of white garb himself, including a spacesuit and a bridal gown.

But the singer also said that stardom has taken a toll. In late March he tweeted a photo of himself covering his face at a recording studio, calling it the “pain of creation”.
