A trip to Geylang and one of the houses would be the best bet. Safe cheap and you are seeing what you are getting.Thanks will do and report later.

Thanks in advance for the help.Stay in Geylang if you must, but I don't recommend it. Too far. I wish I had bitten the bullet and stayed on Orchard Road.
For hotels check Agoda, Wotif, and Booking . com. They reserve a block of roms and might have some even when the hotel tells you it is "full." Often these sites are cheaper than walk-ins or direct phone calls.

I got your PM. I can't give you any tips for cheap hotels in Singapore; in fact, I think that may be an oxymoron. I think with your budget, you'd have no choice but to stay in Geylang, as I can't imagine anything near Orchard for S$100. Even the hostels are expensive in Singapore!

I think with your budget, you'd have no choice but to stay in Geylang, as I can't imagine anything near Orchard for S$100.If you're paying the hotel's standard rates, absolutely. Even the 'low' season in Singapore is high!
But if you use a discount service like wotif and choose their 'wof hotel' (mystery hotel) option you can land quite decent hotels for a song and within that $100/night budget. With a little canny Googling you can easily work out which hotel is the 'mystery' hotel, just for your own peace of mind (and so as not to be led astray by the sometimes optimistic descriptions of location).
On a quick trip a few months back I found the Carlton listed for $99/night inc breakfast. The Carlton's a self-rated five star, I'd actually mark it down to 4. 5 on a good day, and the buffet breakfast is one of the worst selections I've seen in a hotel of this 'class'. But it's a decent hotel my most standards and the location is pretty much smack in the middle of the CBD. On Bras Basah Road opposite Chijmes, which makes it one block from Raffles Plaza and the City Hall MRT station.

Mystery hotel prices but you an choose the area ie Orchard Road. I'd expect ppl will get 4* & 5* for around S100.

Thanks in advance for the help.I have just booked room in Singapore. I checked a lot of booking sites. Booking.comand momondo.comgave the best results. I got an "executive room" at Fort Canning Lodge. Which seems to be a decent three star hotel. For S$120.
I chose a hotel that were reasonably close to Radio City Hall, where the EW metro line and NS metro line meet. Then it is easy to go both to Geylang and Orchard Towers. The metro is very efficient and I prefer the metro to taxi.
Good Luck!

OT is like a dream state walking and see what would happen. Things pick-up later for sure but you are out to the Airport by early evening. Try an afternoon walk.
Landing in SInigapore at 6am and need to fly back out at 9PM.. Planning to stay at the Hilton near OT, any chance of getting any quality action in the early afternoon or should I call an escort service?

Hi Bros,
Wondering if anyone has stayed at the casino hotels yet and if they are girl friendly?
Anyone know of any pickup places close to the Atrium?
Anyone know of any pickup places close to the Atrium?
Anything and anywhere in SIN is close by taxi.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but...
1. Fort Canning Lodge is part of the YWCA. If you know what the acronym stands for, I wouldnt stay there on a mongering/pooning trip if you know what I mean...
2. Radio City Hall? You mean Radio City Music Hall? That's in NYC. This is Singapore. Here, we just call it City Hall lah. :D
3. We don't call our MRT the 'metro' either. Only because you'd be directed to a department store of the same name if you call it that.
I'm just trying to help... seriously.

Good zing, RB! Only problem is the OP posted his comments almost 3 months ago, so has probably come and gone a long time ago...
Fort Canning Lodge is girl friendly (heck, since its the YMCA as you point out, it's probably boy friendly as well), but the nearest MRT stop would be Dhoby Ghaut, not City Hall... Personally, I'd always take a taxi- it's a sweaty walk from the MRT to OT or Geylang...

Very funny.
I agree with your recommendation of not taking the MRT to Geylang. I did it once and regretted it. But isn't MRT close to OT? I remember OT being only two blocks from MRT. Am I loosing it?

Yes OT is close to the MRT, but it is only one building.
Geylang is a whole suburb, one end of it is close to the MRT, but its a long way to the other end. But it used to be an interesting walk.
From Aljunied MRT, Aljunied Rd and the higher numbered Lorongs are a very short stroll, comfortably less than 5 minutes. Kallang MRT at the other end of Geylang is a little further from the action.
As Aussiegaigin suggests, it's an interesting stroll between the two stations, but used to be more so.
Geylang is well served by buses, though as Geylang Road is one way, if you're headed from downtown you'll alight on Sims Way, Sims Ave or Guillemard Rd.
I'd say MRT to Aljunied is a good option, and is probably my usual mode of arrival. If you're on a quick airport stopover MRT is particularly convenient.
OT is a good 5 minute walk from Orchard MRT.

I agree hotel at Geylang area is much cheaper than in Orchard or chinatown area, but MTR only run til midnight so you need to take the taxi back to Geylang if you want to go to OT or bar in chinatown, most of the hotel in Geylang area is 3 star motel most have small room and no mini bar and frig but if you are on a budget around 40 USD a night or less is a good option.

I'm just trying to help... seriously.Thanks for all friendly comments to my post on Fort Canning Lodge.
I admit that the hotel is a bit away from City Hall and very far away from Radio City Music Hall :D. And I realized that something was wrong when I saw some strange biblical quotations on the walls. But no quotation forbade the guests to take girls to their rooms :D , so I decided to give it a try.
Of course taxi is more convenient, but not always faster, than MRT. However, how can a person have physical power enough to have sex all night (or at least one hour) if he cannot manage five minutes walk from MRT to OT?
Anyway, here is a report from my staying at Fort Canning Lodge:
Location: Very good.
At the end of Orchard Road and close to Dhoby Ghaut MRT.
Room:
Generally good. And the room had a safe. The location and inroom safe was the main reason for choosing this hotel.
Some rooms have one big bed and others have two smaller and you do not know what option you get when you book the room.
There were no hand shower - the shower was fixed to the wall. This is not convenient for the female guests.
Service: OK
Internet service: Expensive and not faster or better than the cheaper internet cafées.
Breakfast: Good.
But the dining room was crowded and not so pleasant.
Girl Friendliness:
Of course Young Women's Christian Association must be positive to young women but not necessarily to taking them to your room. But this was an opportunity to prove that all hotels in Singapore are girl friendly so of course I must try.
I had read the posts about the risks of giving the girl one of the key cards and how you avoid these risks (thank you!). But this was too complicated, I thought. So I picked up a young Vietnamese girl at Ipanema, took a taxi to the hotel and went through the lobby with her at my side. The doorman looked somewhat surprised but I just greeted him kindly. The only problem was that I had a hard on - the girl had been quite convincing when she persuaded me to choose her - so I couldn't walk properly :D. But noone stopped us and I had a pleasant night at YWCA.
So - sorry Raverboy. Your information was not correct and you are to pessimistic. All hotels are mongering friendly. Also YWCA.

AB453The back entrance at the lower floor is open till 11.30pm. You can take the lift directly from there up to your room. The room key card is needed to operate the lift. So no walk of shame.
But don't worry staff at the PP Orchard are used to guests beeing accompanied by one or two girls and will not bat a lid. They will not even look at you!

Guys,
I'm quite tired of going into Brix and looking for talent. The quality of high end young ladies has dropped of late. Was wondering if anybody could please help me out with suggestions of other hunting grounds to pick up high quality pretty ladies? Any of the places at Clarkes Quay or maybe some good KTV places which allow girls to be taken out? Also maybe a price indication. Much obliged for the info.

I read the forum with all respect to mongers around. However, I got an interesting situation. This is gonna be my first time in Singapore. I will not ask for a Hotel advise cause I'll land on saturday next week and stay on Fairmont Hotel (on Bras basah rd) which company had already booked. Based on what I read from this forum, I strongly believe and got no doubt that this Hotel will be GF.
My first queue is; I expect to have the elevators operate with room key. Meanwhile, I dont know if any backdoor exists. My problem is that, I cannot accompany any of my guests because the Hotel will be full of bosses and collegues. I cannot give any shot. Now, how the hell I can manage this time to get my guest to room?
My second question is; which mongering scene is close to the Hotel I'll stay?
I plan to visit regular spots which I reached the details from the other threads.
All the suggestions are wellcome and highly appreciated.
Report to come.

You (or rather, your girl) will need your key to gain access to the elevator areas. Like many 'classier' Singapore hotels, each 'wing' of the Fairmont leading off the ground floor has a secure key-controlled entrance into the where the elevators are.
There's no way around this, no 'back door' (which would defeat the purpose of such security).
As you can't accompany any girl, the only way to beat this is to get an extra room key when you check in, take it with you to OT or wherever, and when you're heading back to the hotel with your catch, give her the key and the room number (you might need to write it down her her) and have her go in ahead of you or follow up a few minutes after you.
If you think the lobby is going to be teeming with your colleagues, you might want to have the taxi drop you off at the Swissotel which is next to the Fairmont in the same complex. That way you can both exit the cab together but head into the Fairmont separately.
My two concerns here, however, are:
1. Giving your room key to a WL from OT. Just make sure you get it back from her!
2. The Fairmont is a bit antsy about female guests after 11pm, they have some lobby staff who have in the past insisted to see and record identification for 'guests' who look like WLs. This really pissed me off on a recent visit, because I've got a Filipino f*ck-buddy in Singapore who has a real job (in finance, for a major corp) and on my last visit she came to the hotel to meet me one evening, but the lobby staff gave her the WL treatment, insisted on recording her ID. Understandable from their part, they see a cute Filo pocket rocket in the lobby around 11pm and suspect she's a WL. None the less, narked me because she was not, and I doubt they would have asked for her ID if my Filo friend was white (and not a Russian WL type, just a regular attractive ex-pat).

My second question is; which mongering scene is close to the Hotel I'll stay?The 'closest' action is actually freelancers who hang around Chijmes on Bras Basah Road - you'll find a few there later in the evening, including the odd ladyboy and the odd Ugly As All F*ck one.

The Fairmont is one of the two hotels at the Raffles SC Complex. Not sure which one. One of them has a bar/restaurant on the top floor so there is public access to the elevators.
When I last stayed there some years ago one did not need a room key for either hotel elevator access.

With both the Swissotel and Fairmont you have open access to the lift areas until the evening, I think it might be around 9pm? After that you need your room key to open the glass doors and get to the elevators.

I travel on business quite a bit and I have been in your situation before. i know what you are talking about..your mates hanging out in the lobby. I have tried this before and and it works in a good hotel: Go to your room first and call down to the front desk. Tell them you are expecting a friend and you are too tired to come down to get her. Can they let her come up? The front desk staff or security will walk her to the elevator and let her in. Occasionally the security will bring her all the way up. If they do, remember to tip him. For this to work, the girl must be willing to show her ID at the reception.
Have fun and report back on what you did and what worked.

The elevators to the top florr restaurant and bar are completely separate from the elevators to the guest rooms.

There is a back door, but you still need a room key to access. Enter the mall - it should be open as long as the subway (MRT) runs. Go to the 2nd floor. You can access the elevators on that floor as well as the ground floor.
Alternately, get 2 key cards when you check in. When you make your pull, try to pick one with brains as well as other attributes. Give her the 2nd key so she can access. You both taxi to the hotel together, then part and traverse the lobby separately. Once you are done with her, leave the room (or just hard lock it with the manual security lock) and ask for a new, reprogrammed key, claiming you lost yours. With a wink and a nod, the desk will comply.
Lot's of places to hunt - OT is always interesting. RTF.

If anyone would be kind enough to let me know if the Intercontinental is GF and proximity to action I would be most appreciative.As has already been mentioned, 99% of hotels in Singapore are girl friendly (and the other 1% are wondering why they attract so few guests). The Intercont certainly is, as I've stayed there myself.
Location: it's a block or so back from Chijmes and thus a short ($6?) cab ride to Singapore's 'downtown' area for Brix and OT.
On all my recent visits to Singapore (and Jakarta for that matter), when checking in to four and five star hotels, I have been routinely asked "One or two keys, Sir?"
On all my recent visits to Singapore (and Jakarta for that matter), when checking in to four and five star hotels, I have been routinely asked "One or two keys, Sir?"
Indeed pretty much normal everywhere, as you said, in 4-5 stas hotel
Even if you are checking in alone.
Since they mainly sell you the room (be it with or w/o breakfast) and since the room rate say "up to 'x' occupancy", they can give you as many keys as the room can accomodate (usually 2-3)
I've seen a few comments here about the Singapore Ibis hotel but nothing to conclusive about the action possible there, so I kindly request some help:
- I assume it's girl-friendly, so I won't ask about that, since it's been said in this forum that almost all Singapore hotels are GF
- is there any (good) action in the area near the hotel? Or does one need to take the taxi/MRT to the working-girl areas and then bring the girl back to the Ibis hotel?
- is there good possibilities to watch football matches in the hotel bar or nearby bars? (I'll be there during the football World Cup)

Ladyboys often hang out on Bencoolen St, so you could pick one of those out front, if that's your thing...
Otherwise, you'll have to trouble yourself to take the 5-10 minute taxi ride to OT or Geylang...
Lots of bars around the area that will be showing world cup action. Probably the best near by area with big screens and a crowd would be Chijmes, and note the below posts of reports of action, though I've never pulled a pro out of there...

Lots of bars around the area that will be showing world cup action. Probably the best near by area with big screens and a crowd would be Chijmes, and note the below posts of reports of action, though I've never pulled a pro out of there...Hey, thanks for the info. :o)
(and no, ladyboys are not my thing)
So, I've decided to spend a little extra to go to the Royal on Scotts (via the Wotif site's special deal). Even though the Ibis hotel has great reviews at tripadvisor.com as a tourist hotel, I would rather be in the midst of the action.

Hi!
Hi! Anyone knows Furama Riverfront? I'll go there for a conference and wonder if it's easy to sneak in a girl from OT without other conference member obviously noticing me?
(First time in SING, apparently OT is not too far and would be the easiest solution for me)
Any other advice would be welcome!
Thanks

As has been mentioned before, at ANY hotel, simply ask for TWO key cards when you check in, give one to the girl and have her come to the room alone. That way there is no chance of being caught out. If you have a "no show" or she runs off with the key, simply ask for a new one, which will have a new entry code.

Travelling to singa on business in mid-June with a senior CONSERVATIVE work collegue. Staying at Quincy hotel for 8 nights & interested in having the same GFE company for several nights.
I welcome other reader comments/tips:
1. about their stays at Quincy & its location to OT.
2. suggestions about arranging a GFE before arriving in singa.

While I've never stayed at the Quincy, I have stayed at the Elizabeth several times, which is next door to the Quincy and, I believe, owned by the same company. It's about a 10-15 minute walk to OT. Just go down the hill, past the Hospital and down to Orchard Road. Take a right, go under Scott's Road on the pedestrian tunnel, then continue up Orchard Road past the Thai embassy. OT is about a block past the embassy. Walk up about a dozen steps and enter the building. You'll see an escalator straight ahead, and you can start your tour. I've had plenty of take-out success at Ipanema, and 2 out of 3 ladies are willing to take a walk back to the hotel, rather than bothering with a cab. Have fun. Back at the hotel, I just go in the front door, past the reception desk and get on the elevator. Given the presence of conservative colleagues, you'd probably need to employ the "time-shift, two card-key" technique described elsewhere in this forum.

Just go down the hill, past the Hospital and down to Orchard Road.Just cut through the lobby of the York Hotel and into the car park they share with the Goodwood Hotel. Takes you to Scotts Road. A lot quicker. Go over the foot bridge at Far East Plaza. Can walk to Orchard or go the back way on Claymore Hill and then Claymore Road. But you may miss some SWs though hanging outside Thai Embassy

If you have RTFF you must haved missed numerous posts confirming that all hotels in SIN are GF.
Any hotel that gives you a room with a double or twin beds (or more) would not be able to dictate who you can chose to share it with.
I was a bit confused by the fact that they say extra guests will be charged, even though it is a room for 2.

Years ago some places would give a slight discount if you booked as a single and only used one bed in a twin bed room; maybe it still happens.
Best to book a double room and noboby has to ask questions.

I stayed at Orchard two weeks ago and can confirm it is 100% girl friendly. I don't use a lap top but my friend did. I don't recall the rates but they charge a lot for internet. Email them before you arrive to tell them you would like free internet in order for you to stay there. They will negotiate free internet if you are staying there for a few nights. The hotel is expensive but they have a great breakfast buffet and its right next to Orchard Towers. The bathrooms have a rain shower and a porthole to watch your girl shower (if she doesn't figure out how to close the curtain). Rooms are a little small but it's a beautiful, modern hotel imho. If you can afford it, stay there.

charges of around s$25 for 24 hrs of internet are common in singapore hotels. often it is included if you stay at so-called club rooms or if you ***** enough they will negotiate a rate that includes it. in some places i have seen slow internet for free and charges for a higher speed service.
if there is a big event then the hotel rates escalate quickly. last week they were up about 25% from what i call normal. during the volcanic ash fiasco the room rates basically double overnight as the hotels took advantage of stranded passengers.
Hi guys,
I'm new to the forum, anyway I want to share my experience.
I was at Orchard Parade Hotel at the beginning of 2010.
First of all I can say it was completely GF friendly.
The staff at the reception were very discreet, and didn't look at me at all while in the "walk of shame".
I went to the OT that is less than 3 minutes walking at the opposit side of the road.
Entered in Ipanema pub. Nice place to meet some girl to take to the hotel.
Yes, mostly Viet, Thai and some Indo when I was there.
It was not the first time for me there, and I can say I met good girls for LT at hotel.
Anyway one night, still early, it was 11:30PM I think, I took a Viet, she looked pretty, she was tall, nice legs and breast.
At the beginning she asked for 250S$ for all night, but then agree for 200.
We went at the hotel, and as I already told, the staff didn't look at me while walking to the elevators.
Entered in the room, and after showering together we had our nice time on the bed.
After first shoot, it was more or less 2AM, her cell phoe ringed and answered the call. After talking, the girl said she had to go away.
I was a bit angry, because when outside she agreed for all night long.
But she kept saying that her sister arrived at the airport and the immigration didn't allow her to enter and needed her assistance.
Nothing to do, she didn't want to stay, so I decided to let her go and pay only the half for her. She accepted.
As I didn't want to stay alone that night I decided to go downstairs with her and to look for another girl.
While we were waiting for the elevator, I realized I forgot the phone inside the room, so I told her to wait me before going downstairs, and I went back to the room.
But. When I was back to the elevators, she was not there anymore.
Ok, I waited for the lift again, and when I arrived at the reception I see the staff that didn't allow her to exit. They wanted to be sure everything was ok with me, and were asking her for the documents.
Anyway I said to the staff it was everything ok, and they allow her to go.
I liked this from the staff, because I think it's a good security service they offer to the customers of the hotel.
Bye bye to everybody for now and I will write other reports soon.

Maybe you need to define karaoke - are you referring to the types where you step in pick a girl and screw her, or those open type ones ??
As for girl friendly, hotels may ask you to register the girl, if it is bit late .. if early, they don't care.

Was reading Olario's report about the gal from OT who made up some excuse to go back to find another John.
For me this is good reason not to stay at the hotels on Orchard Road near to OT - it is just too tempting for the gals to think that they can go back for another round.
And I also find that I get better hotel for my money away from Orchard Road.

It's very comfortable to stay in a place just a few steps away from the action, no need to take taxi every time.
But it's true, to stay in a hotel next to the OT it's really tempting for the girl to sneak away and go back to find another one.
And it's also true that in Orchard Road hotel prices are relatively higher.
But sometimes may happen that the morning after the girl ask for an extra $ to get the taxi.
Sudsoz, on your opinion, what area do you suggest based on hotel price/quality and easy access to the action areas?
Thanks.

MegaCarlton - next to Chijmes, has been renovated, with a new lounge bar, and a sweet singer.
It has been pretty much upgraded .. though as a resident in Singapore, that's about much I could say.
Some of my guests who stayed there claimed the standards have been raised a lot, with more efficient housekeeping and room service.
Thanks everyone for the good advice about the Orchard Hotel.

I stayed at the Carlton last year - not sure if that was pre-renovation or post-renovation?
The location is pretty good - across from Chijmes (nice place to meet a lady friend for a late-night cocktail), a short walk from the mall attached to the Fairmont/Swissotel (there's a quite decent food court there, like most malls in The Red Dot) and thus the City Hall MRT station. And of course, this all puts it a short <$10 cab ride from Brix and OT. You'll even find some WLs and ladyboys wandering around the Chijmes area late at night.
As to the hotel itself, though - have to say that I wasn't impressed. The rooms were pretty 'average' and the breakfast buffet was appalling in both range and quality. Just as well this was thrown into the room deal because no way would it have been worth paying for on its own.
I also found the staff left something to be desired. Nothing that stood out but they just weren't as 'welcoming' 'and on the ball' as many other Singapore/Asian hotels. Worst of all was the doorman, who had the temerity to ASK for a tip at the end of my stay... and not just ask but to do so though on the window of the taxi after I'd gotten in.
Now the yanks here might be thinking "Hey, you didn't tip the guy! What gives, you stingy Aussie? What did you expect?".
But in my experience mandatory tipping is NOT a part of Singaporean culture, I don't tip at hotels (being an Aussie where we don't tip as a rule) and I've certainly never had ANYONE at a Singaporean hotel ask for a tip for doing their job.

During a stopover in Singapore I stayed overnight in York Hotel, not far away from Orchard road. A walk to the Orchard towers or Brix is about 15 minutes. The hotel is o.k., if you don’t have high claims. I booked this hotel many weeks before by Agoda, as they had a special offer, paid about 80 Euros. Breakfast isn’t included. If you want have, its rather expensive between 16 and 26 SGD. I recommend to go instead in one of the shopping mails nearby. The room was quite big with a king size bed. The bathroom is small and the bathtube especially, so you cannot have fun with a girl there. I didn’t had a problem to take a girl into my room, it seemed nobody to bother.
After arriving at Airport I used the shuttle bus service between there and the hotel. But it is not possible at the way back. I was told at the reception, that they don’t offer this service

Singapore discourages tipping, and the Tourism board does not take it easy when it comes to such cases.
I always read the articles in the forums except when I really need info in a hurry. I have an unexpected trip and just need the info. I often also just give up looking. Much of the forum is just one guy going after another, or endless discussions about if it is 10 Bt or 12 Bt to use the ATM, and how to get around spending so much on an ATM. Many people cloak their postings so that only friends know what they are saying. And then, there are those who can't put 3 words together to make a simple declarative, intelligible sentence. It takes a long time to get anything from these postings.
I look at forums as a place to give and get information. Most of my posts are aimed at providing information to others. I agree that it is aggravating to see someone with one post ask for all he needs to know about Asia, but we are here to share experience. I try to keep that in mind.
In the case of Orchard hotel, I did a search and got pages of Orchard towers reports. I just gave up and asked.
Sudsoz, on your opinion, what area do you suggest based on hotel price/quality and easy access to the action areas?
I have stayed over at Chinatown/Tanjung Pagar areas when Duxton was more alive. More recently I have been using East Coast where there are bars at Paramount/Joo Chiat and other nearby locations. But I have a few pinay numbers of gals who worked the bars before they got a 'decent' job.
I use OT as a back-up unless I go there to watch the football or something.

I highly recommend staying at the orchard parade hotel (for the recent reports on the Carlton, etc.) I have stayed there multiple times, the staff is excellent, the doormen are friendly, rooms are nice, internet access and best of all. 1) Starbucks in the front which is a great "watching place"; 2) GF friendly with a side entrance so you don't even have to go past the front desk; 3)1 min walk to OT; 4) Street girls hang out near the hotel (picked up a nice laotian gal right outside the door who gave me BBBJCIM last year) and its less expensive than hyatt, marriott, hilton (all of which I like). You can find some good prices online. Make sure you ask to stay in the MAIN building, not the annex (internet access not so good in the annex).
Last visit my filipina GF stayed with me for 2 weeks and the staff didn't even blink when she came into the place by herself and up to the elevators. Also have had "room service" (filpinas I met at Lucky Plaza) come over after their BMD work (1am or so) and no hassle from the staff (and they used the front door, LOL).

If you RTFF, there is good coverage of most popular hotels here.
Sorry, what is the "RTFF"? Stayed at the Furuma resort last time. It was ok, close to Clark Quay, but my GF was there last time. I like to stay in the more swanky spots, but I learned in HK that sometimes that isn't the best thing, as the receptionist may say something if you walk in at 230AM with candy in tow! I was thinking maybe a MArriot or something of that nature. However, proximity to the fun spots is a must! I don't want to have to be taking 30 minute cab rides to get to the fun! Everyone is telling me that Singapore is going to be a lot more eventful than SK, so I am looking forward to this.

All hotels in SG are girl friendly AFAIK (as far as I know). The nicest near OT is probably the St. Regis. If you want high end, look at Capella on Sentosa.

So, is my understanding that many of you posters live in SG? Got a buddy paying for my hotel in SG, so price is of no importance! Paid the hotel fees in Korea, so going to enjoy spending very little money there. Someone mentioned a certain bench on an earlier post? I need to write these down.

Spend a little more time reading this forum. There are numerous posts about BRIX, the girls in it, and the rates you can expect there.
I personally like BRIX. The live music they bring in is good and the place is well maintained. The WG's are all very approachable but they won't stalk you if you aren't interested. On weekends there is usually a good mix of nationalities. The blond Russians get a lot of attention and I don't hear the tourists negotiate their rates (start at 500 Sing). Haha. But read through and you will have a very good idea of the place...

Alright, so just booked two nights in the Grand Hyatt...how convenient it will be to have everything a monger would want, contained within the basement! Haha!
Was recently in Singapore for a little under two days. Arrived from Hanoi in the night, which made a temptative meet with Indo Freebie – a 27 or so already scored in previous trips – not really easy. I had tried to lure her in to the fact that I would arrive earlier than in reality, but at the end of the day – well actually in the middle of the night – it did not prove efficient. So off to bed at 1 30 AM after checking in my hotel (theclub.com. Sg – on Ansiang road, second stay there just love the fancy rooms, the glass wall shower and their 250++ internet deal.

OT girls go for half the rate or lesser .. with the exception of Missing "AMBIENCE"
Read up on Brix, it is not uncommon for girls to start the bid at 500 US .. for ST :D

Went by there tonight with a good friend on her night off (Hooter's girl). The lobby is very bright and it reminds me of what a small brighter W hotel would look like. The staff seemed pretty friendly. One item to note...if you take a taxi you may have to explain where the hotel is as our taxi driver did not know. Fortunately, I knew it was down the street from the Scarlet Hotel and the driver dropped us there.
The Skybar had a private function and was closed so we went to the Tapas bar in the basement. Nice new atmosphere, and the Tapas were actually pretty decent (~S$15 per plate). The wine list was limited and essentially white or red. The prices on the wine were ok...The bar had two sofa sittings, and maybe a half dozen bar tables along with the bar area. The Straits Times reviewed it in late June. The crowd was a mix of locals and expats, but this is not a place to meet women.
My date and I are pretty certain the place is run by the same group as Harry's bar.

I'm planning my Singapore trip next month, though it is a short stint for 2 days. Would luv to see some feedback\comments about this hotel.
Hi Everyone,
Does anyobdy knows if there is some action at The Ambassador Transit Hotel, at Changi Airport?
They have massage, anything else?
Thanks

Would luv to see some feedback\comments about this hotel.Stayed at the Copthorne Orchid last year, little shaby and used, but in general ok. Its far to walk to Orchard towers, but they have shuttle bus going to Orchard Road. Back by taxi. Brought a girl, no problems at all. Breakfast was ok, buffet. In general ok, but Orchid hotel better, walking distance to OT and classier.
Good luck

ThanksThe transit hotel. If you are in the 'transit zone' you are locked out.
If you are clearing immigration. You can just look up the yellow pages and call one of the many agencies, or hop to town. Depending upon your transit time here.
Ive just realised that my two day stopover in Singapore is during the Grand Prix and all the hotel prices have trippled and they have filled up already. So might have to stay at a Hotel 81 in Geylang :-) Well it could be worse.
Any hints on the best hotel quality wise in Geylang?

If you have a fixed agenda, then I would run to the Travel Agent and get them to do a GDS search and book.
That's my 2 cents.

I'm in the same situation with the Gran Prix. Arriving Saturday for meetings on Monday but the company's travel agent says she can't find a hotel. All the usual places she books us (Hilton, Marriott, etc.) are way expensive or totally booked.
I'm not a motor sports fan and had no idea this event was this big. I am not in a position to reschedule, I would just have to cancel and stay home if I can't find a room.
Can anyone recommend a place? I can probably go to about S$350 a night. I can't believe that this event could possibly bring in enough people that it would sell out the whole city...but then maybe I'm underestimating the popularity of the race?
Maybe the hotels out by the airport would be less popular due to their distance from the city?

The issue is not the popularity: the issues is, due to the race season, the hotels jack up their prices, due to block bookings, and a hotel that normally retails for 50$ a day ends up at 200$ a day, as even with half occupancy, they make more than double their regular revenue .. right ??
Check on the other sites - such as Agoda, Zuji, Asiarooms etc. and choose those hotels that do instant confirmation. Agoda and Asiarooms doe list smaller mama-papa type hotels, which don't get listed in the regular Hotel Systems.
Alternate, I could host you for a fee :D just kidding.

.
One of the benefits from this situation is that there are often cancellations in the final few days before the event and hotels are often discounting to try and fill up their empty rooms.

They also tend to look for aa long stay package, like wedn/thurs trhough sunday, and at a higher price.
Pretty much normal in the circus around the world, trust me.
Rooms easily go up to 3 times and with terms and conditions.
Full hotels are blocked by a couple of travel agencies.
Chain hotels block the bookings via internet then sell the rooms on individual contact basis.

The travel agent found me a couple of options that were less than the usual 4 or 5 star that is expected. She found me one in Geylang (Hotel 81 Princess) for $150. I prentended that I new nothing about the area and said that I would take it. That was a week ago so it may be booked out now. I feel pretty good about having the company book me into Geylang for my 3 day weekend stopver between jobs. Now my concern is what the GP will do to the prices on the street!!!

Just negotiate... Girls might try their best to cash more, but I still think the offer exceeds the demand. Just avoid Brix and Ipanema as that's where they gather (being the most popular).
I had seen quite some girls leaving Brix empty handed at about the closing time. Obviously your time schedule must take into account closing time is around 3am!
During those days, in the past, I never bumped into those folks in the Jamboree...just a few step away from Ipanema, full of the Circus folk.
I have just been contacted by a jamaican hotty and she told me she is in SIN now.
I am trying to cross check her price and eventually will make it available for Sr Members with decent history here through PM

Sleepy, nice luck. It looks like I can get a room in my price range at the Orchard Parade which I've read about on here more as a girl watching location along Orchard. Does anyone know how is it to actually stay there?
I also might be able to get into the Mandarin Orchard but right now it's a little over my budget but not way over like some of the others.

Im actually not a great fan of OT. Its just not my style. In Geylang I enjoy walking the streets and checking out all the talent. Of course it can be hit and miss for quality but at the price I can live with that. I also like LT which is more difficult to achieve in Geylang but its good fun to try and get it. Last time I found the cutest Indo (Actually Im in Indonesia right now) who wanted to spend more time with me after a short time session, but I had a plane to catch. I bet shes not aroung there any more.

Sleepy, I know we're veering off the Hotel topic, but my experience in Geylang is that LT is not an option. You pick the girl out of the fishbowl, go in back to her room, and you spend (hopefully) an hour of pleasure, and then you're on your way. Are you saying you can negotiate with the management to take the girl out and back to your hotel? Or is it LT in her room which isn't nearly as appealing? Or by LT do you mean a longer time as opposed to all night until morning which is my definition of LT? I suppose everything is negotiable for a price.

LT is available in Geylang in the girl's room. Depending on the house, you may have to be somewhat of a 'regular' of the girl or of the house. Terms are usually unofficially 'fixed' by the house (say 12 midnight to 8 am, how many pops, price).

Interesting stuff. I've had some real ST winners who I would have loved to turn into a LT. But I'd much rather bring the girl back to my nice hotel than stay the night in her little room.
Does anyone have any experience with getting the girl to leave with them? My guess it would be difficult if not impossible or else very expensive. If it were really late at night or a slow night, that might increase the odds.

If you have a cutie in mind, speak directly to her handler at the house. This is one of few places in town where anything is negotiable. Just have to negotiate.

Hello all!
I have my first ever trip to the Far-East coming up in November and my company has put me up in the Mandarin Oriental Hotel. Anyone of the Singapore experts know anything about the situation in this hotel? Is is GF? etc. I have searched extensively in this thread but somehow this hotel has never been mentioned at all.
Thanks everyone.

Anyone of the Singapore experts know anything about the situation in this hotel? Is is GF? etc. I have searched extensively in this thread but somehow this hotel has never been mentioned at all.Hard to imagine it's never been mentioned because I've stayed here a few times and mentioned it myself, as have others... but for what it's worth:
1. You're a lucky sod - this is my favourite hotel in Singapore!
2. 99.99% of hotels in Singapore are girl-friendly, and the .01% that's not are in danger of going out of business. The Mandarin Oriental happily falls into the 99.99% category. I've brought back a lovely from Brix on each stay there and never once had hassles.
The thing is, you have to go pretty much straight past (or at least curve by) the reception desk to get to the elevator to your room - the staff won't hassle you but the pretty young things working behind the desk will not be amused! And the floor layout is quite open, with the rooms built around a large open central atrium, so if you're staying with a large group of comrades you stand a better chance of being busted at this hotel compared to many others where there are secondary entrances, other-floor access to the lifts and a more conventional layout.
The only real issues are that it can be very hard to get a taxi from there late in the evening - that may have changed since the casino (sorry, 'integrated resort') and Marina Bay Sands opened nearby earlier this year, but each time I've stayed at the Mandarin Oriental and headed to Brix around 11pm I've had to wait a while for a taxi.

Thanks a mill for the detailed description of the reception and room layout! Now I know or at least have a pretty good idea of how the walk of shame will be like! lol
According to Tripadvisor this should be one of the unforgettable hotel experiences, everyone goes on about how the service is impeccable and how the staff know you by first name etc. Not very convenient is it when I plan to bring back a girl every night! lol Next morning they'll be like "Good morning Mr. xxxxx, nice number you had there last night" LOL
Again thanks for your help.

The first few times I went there I was astounded at how quickly the ladies learned not only my name (eg second morning for breakfast, I'm being welcomed by name as I walk up!) but also they note little things like the fact that I would sit with my colleagues - so they'd also remember my colleagues, if they arrived after me they would show them to my table, and in fact when I arrived for breakfast they'd ask if I'd like one of the larger tables if my colleagues will be joining me - or they'd recall that we set outside rather than inside and knowing that's our preference would take us to that same table for us. Ditto for the girls at the bar, who were a lot of fun and quickly learned our fave cocktails etc after the first night.
Stuff like that really blows you away.
And speaking of been blown away, or being blown away by a cutie from Brix - yes, it's a bit of an unavoidable 'slink of shame'. The doorman is likely to give you a sly wink on the way in, and a knowing smile the next time he sees you, and the girls of course know what goes on... but it's still a bugger... you check in and flirt with them (they're generally quite cute and alluring, and sometimes you want to just jump the counter and then jump them!), they see you the next morning or arvo or evening and you smile or chat and flirt again, and they might be thinking "He's such a nice guy" - then they see you come back that evening with some Brix babe on your arm, and you might even catch their eye or bump into one at the lift lobby, and now they think "What a sleaze! They're all the same!", and the next time you see them you KNOW they know about the real you and the flirting's not quite the same any more!
Anyway, the thing I mentioned about the layout of the place and potential for being caught out by a colleague is a true concern - you actually want to be careful even in the lifts because they run up the middle of the atrium and are glass-walled, and so anyone sitting around the bar on the fourth floor looking out into the middle of the hotel can see the lifts going up and if you stand at the window with your girl they could easily see you... I have a sneaking suspicion I was caught out like this once, a mate who was having drinks in the bar the evening I went to Brix dropped obtuse hints the next morning but never said anything more.
Also, once I had an in-call to my room early one evening, and when she left there was a colleague staying on the other side of the floor who was just coming out of her room - fortunately she didn't spy me giving this delightful visitor a final hug and long languid kiss, but I think the girl was wondering why I suddenly seemed to duck behind her and push her along while quickly swinging around and backing into my room!

Thanks everyone.I stayed in the Mandarin Oriental a couple of years back. It was very gf, I took a cute Thai girl back from Harry's at OT who stayed long time and the staff were very polite to her as we walked in. The next day I asked for a second key as my long term Thai "gf" was flying in to stay for a few days. They were also very nice to her and were ummmm discrete as well! (I didn't want to cheat on her. But the first girl asked so nicely and she was so hot. I caved in LOL. Bad boy.)

It's a while since I returned to Shanghai from my trip Singapore and elsewhere. I know there had been some brief mention of the Ibis way back when, but I wanted to confirm that the hotel is indeed GF.
I stayed at the Ibis in early October for three nights and enjoyed some sweet takeout from OT. No problems. The girls weren't too familiar with the hotel but none had any issues going there.
I would highly recommend this place. It was my first visit to Singapore and the Ibis was nicely located. Very central. Quick cab ride to OT. Close to metro. And of course, close to food, especially near Bugis.

limited walk of shame as after you enter you walk to the right to lifts, no need to pass in front of reception or concierge.
Depending on the time, you might have to go through people in the lobby area in front of doors, but nobody will take care, unless there is a nuns convention, lol
Nice swimming pool
Do not know about the gym, but you can browse on hotel website.
great rooms, with different solutions
a bit expensive.
I plan on booking a room at the Hilton for one night next month. Besides it being so close to OT, I like that it has an in-room safe. Has anyone had a bad experience with this place? Where does it rank on the walk-of-shame meter? Yes, I am a newbie. Are FL's always required to register at the front desk at the Hilton or is it hit or miss? Do you feel secure bringing back a FL to your room that does not have an in-room safe?
Thanks

Thanks for the reply Nabim. I have no doubt about bringing back a FL to the Hilton since I've read that all hotels in Sing are GF. I was more curious to know how decent the place is with regards to cleanliness and service.
Also, curious to know how it is with regard to the walk-of-shame. The seasoned pro's out there will roll their eyes at this concern. I understand that its a silly question. But since I'm new at this I just want to know what to prepare for.
Do FL's have to register at the Hilton front desk before coming to the room?

And you get an occasional FL, but mostly pros. On weekdays. Weekends, it gets flooded with Maids. 3rd floor, called Platinum (as for now)
And Lucky plaza also has a lot of karaoke bars, and you get the occasional sprinkling of dancers who want to top up their earning (at the end of their shift) and also some pros. But watch out. Their main focus to take you on the LD.
Head for Marisa Bar at 3rd floor, and also Alrish at 6th floor. But just get a beer, and decline the offer of a cheaper jug, and if you want to recce, take a look at the other bars.
Ok Kalang at 6th floor has a collection of Pros. Seasonally.
Wow, thank you, you have certainly made my next singapore trip more interesting :).... I thought Naughty girls in OT is where the weekend daytime action was with the nanny day off party there but now I'll have to check Lucky Plaza out.

LDIt's not a bad property. It's the first hotel in the River Valley area, so it's got a great location on the river, but is a bit dated. The rooms were renovated a few years ago, so they're clean and pretty comfortable. It's not as nice as the five star hotels in Singapore, but it's not a bad place to stay. The biggest downside is that it caters to tour groups, so the lobby and buffet restaurant can get a bit crowded at times. They have a massage parlor on the premises, and I was offered FS for $150 (too high).
The closest MRT station is Clarke Quay, which is about a 15 20 minute walk away. Realistically, the easiest way to get around from the River Valley hotels is by taxi. They're abundant in this area, and it's just 5 10 minutes to OT (and yes, all the hotels in the area are girl-friendly).
If you're more into pubs than mongering, it's just across and up the river from Robertson Quay, which is the quietest of the three quays (a good thing, in my opinion). Robertson Quay is also adjacent to Mohammed Sultan, which still has a few pubs. This area tends to cater to the Japanese expat community (the largest Japanese supermarket in Singapore is in Liang Court, which is between Robertson and Clarke Quays), so there is some potential opportunity to meet Japanese women, if that's your thing.

About the walk-of-shame, I didn't really care about that as long as you walk with confident and treat the WL as your friend and chat like normal friend, nobody will even look at you as they thought it's just a normal couple. And, I didn't register her in the front desk.

As you can see I am not very familiar with the singapore scene, I know few places which have worked for me and I stick to them. I tend to be in singapore for few days max so I have no time to play around and try and discover other venues. Having said that I will certainly give it a go next time, I will try and check out all the venues that got mentioned here. Naughty girl in the past has worked for me, maybe because I was one of the few caucasians there :), I have always managed to pick up without much effort and all have been freebies even though that is not my main game.
Hi guys,
I'll be in SIN in the first half of February en route from Bali to BKK.
I plan to visit Batam for one or two days/nights and of course OT while in SIN.
Last year I met a charming but FAT Ass Sri Lankan WG in front of OT but even her sweetness and genuine charm could not make up for her unattractive figure, but ever since I have fancied to sample a prettier one.
My question is:
Is there a place in SIN where Indian/Sri Lankan WGs/FLs can be found?
Is there perhaps a RLD in Little India?
(I hate the Gelang scene!)
Thanks for your info.

About the walk-of-shame, I didn't really care about that as long as you walk with confident and treat the WL as your friend and chat like normal friend, nobody will even look at you as they thought it's just a normal couple.
Normally, that is definitely true. However, the one monger (short Asian man in his 50's) that walked by my mates with the 6' transvestite got a loud round of applause and hooting and hollering! The hotel security didn't blink at all, though, and the monger just gave them the victory sign (or did I have that backwards?)...

Thanks to Tanglin for all the info. The maps and the info that I have don't really give a good scale to the city so it's hard to judge the walk times to various places. I don't have any objection to walking (I assume that most everywhere is safe) but it does seem as though taxis are plentiful -- what's a reasonable fare to Orchard Towers from the River Valley area? Nice to know that there is a massage place on the premises in case I decide not to venture out one night. And I wouldn't be opposed to meeting Japanese women at the Quay. Are these FLs, Pros or what?
Thanks again for all of the info.

LDTaxi fare to OT from your hotel should be less than SGD $10. The return trip should be $10 to $15 (after midnight there is a 50% surcharge). There will also usually be "rogue" taxis either out in front of the building or near the taxi stand on Claymore willing to take you right away for a fixed price (which depends on how far you're going, and how much they think you'll pay). They're kind of a rip-off and technically illegal, but they do save you the 10 to 20 minute wait in the taxi queue. Walking is safe, but it's about a 30 minute walk, and unless you're accustomed to a tropical climate you're going to be pretty sweaty when you arrive.
The haven't met any Japanese working girls in Clarke Quay. Just regular, often horny, Japanese women <grin>.

got to the hilton at about 1:30 this morning. took a quick shower and walked out onto orchard road to check out the scene. it was still pretty busy and i was planning to head to ot. while waiting to cross the road, i was approached by an asian woman asking if i was interested in a massage. i said, "i might be, how much? " "s$150" was the reply. she asked if i had condoms and i said not yet. she lead me to a street-side vendor where i purchased some and walked me about 50 feet where she introduced me to cherry, a 22-year old gorgeous thai girl who was an 8. not really expecting to score tonight, i was surprised when i was back in my room with the beautiful cherry within 15 minutes of walking out of the hotel. no issues or even raised eyebrows as cherry and i entered the hilton and took the elevator to my executive floor room.
cherry showered quickly and i followed her. she was very enthusiastic. english was ok with a cute thai accent. she was on me with a gfe. spent sometime giving me a thai massage. then kissed her way down my body spending ample time on my sensitive nipples once she realized i really enjoy that. played with myrock-hard cock and balls as she worked on my nipples. worked her way further down my body, licking up and down the length of my cock without touching the head as i was still uncovered. then did a fabulous tongue job on my balls.
she covered my and started working her expert mouth on my cock as she played with her pussy, moaning deligthfully around my cock. soon, we were both ready to go and she climbed on top of me, guiding me into her tight, young, wet pussy. she leaned down and continued to work on my nipples as she slowly road me. moaning and whimpering, she sped up. i turned her over and pulled out of her and she pouted. i told her i had something special for her if she was willing.
i kissed my way down her body, spending a good long time on her sensitive nipples. she was crying out and her hips were bucking. she was asking me to fuck her again and i told her to wait. i worked my way down her body and started to lightly lick her throbbing clit as she cried out. i gently slid a finger inside her and started to stroke her g-spot and she went nuts. i could tell she was close to cumming, but she tried to pull away telling me she felt like she was going to [CodeWord134] (http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord134). knowing quite a bit about female ejaculation, i told her not to worry about it and that i was going to make her cum good. i started at it again and she was crying out when suddenly her **** clenched my finger and she started gushing all over the place. she apologized for soaking my bed and begged me to fuck her.
i spread her legs and put them over my shoulders. i spanked her clit with my cock and then started rubbing it barely inside her storking her g-spot again. she cried out, "oh no! [CodeWord134] (http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord134) [CodeWord134] (http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord134) cum again! " she shot a long hard stream and i rammed my cock into her fucking her hard until with both came again.
she gave me more massage and told me she wanted to stay the night with me, but she had to go. gave me her private number and begged me to get in touch with her to do it again everyday while i am here saying she might even pay me if i can keep doing that.
not bad for only having been in singapore for two hours.
pm me if you want her number.
Hi guys,
Reading this forum, I got the impression, that most, if not all hotels in SIN were GF-friendly.
Last February, I stayed at the Link Hotel on Tiong Bahru Road.
Quite comfortable, with in-room internet and at (then) SGD 150 cheap enough to cover many taxi fares to and from Orchard Road.
Wanting to avoid any chance of embarassing scenes when returning with a girl, I asked at the reception and was told:
QUOTE: if that was what I needed "to take care of my needs", no problem, but not after 10pm. UNQUOTE.
Note the delicate language the reception guy used!
Though I like "love in, the afternoon", the 10pm limit does severely limit the options, especially from OT and though I liked the Link Hotel, I am wondering where to stay, when I visit SIN again this coming February.

Is the 10pm, I. E 'not overnight' customary in other hotels in SINI am yet to hear any non-gf hotel here. Yes, you get that no visitor thingy in cheap hotels (like. Link.). But if you ask, they will say that your rate is on single occupancy. And twin. You need a top up. Sort of like the LCCs. 15KG free, but anything heavier and they smell blood. .
3 star and higher don't bother much about visitors, though it is a new trend to disallow more than a couple in a twin room. As during some police checks, some hookers were found to have been doing three-somes or residing in the hotels doing tricks.
PS: The link is owned by an LCC. If I am not mistaken. Next time check into other hotels. You can get similar rates around that rate.
Hi guys,
Is the 10pm, I. E 'not overnight' customary in other hotels in SINNot in my experience. If you're looking for more of a budget hotel, you might try The Elizabeth on Mt Elizabeth Road (just off Orchard) , The Riverview, Copthorne Kings or Furama in the River Valley area (Kim Seng and Havelock Rds) , or the Furama in Chinatown.

Hi all. Just finishing up my first trip to Singapore and stayed at this facility. I had an interesting and overall successful trip and will post my exploits under the appropriate board section. I didn't have any problem with this particular hotel bringing back the one girl I did but it was relatively early (9:00 PM) and she was dressed reasonably conservatively. I also wanted to update that the Riverview does NOT have an in-house massage. I guess they may have in the past but alas no longer.
Thanks to all for the information and advice.

I believe there are "fire safety regulations" which limit the number of people who can stay in a room, based on floor size and the number of beds provided. Even arranging something like a trundle bed or cot for children to share a room is difficult because of this. Most hotels seem to be very strict on this.

Hi Guys,
I will be visiting Singapore shortly (my first visit for many years) so would appreciate some hotel recommendations.
Some years ago I used to stay at the Melia Hotel (on Scotts Road.) but it no longer seems to exist!
My preference is for a hotel, around 4 star, within a short walk of O. T. And of course G. F.
It does not need to be a 'major international chain. ' As long as it is clean, comfortable and in the right area that will be fine for me.
Your help will be appreciated.

The Hilton is literally across the street from OT and, like most Singapore hotels, quite GF. Of course, the Marriott is not far away down at Scotts Road, and there's always the Hyatt right on top of Brix and not far from OT.
Is there is any hotels close to USD 100 near ot walking distance?

Hotman. In the 4 star range I can recommend you Orchard Parade which is just across Orchard Road next to the OT. No issue about having a female visitor with you.
I think it is much more than USD 100, how much you got last time and when.

Hotman. Let me suggest Royal Plaza, just opposite the Hyatt.
Marriott is the more expensive of the pack whilst Hilton is a bit pricey for the standard.
Royal plaza is fully GF, has a great breakfast and free wifi.
Don't have to cross any road to walk to OT.
Only if you have to go to Hyatt for Brix.
Marriott has a good cafeteria open till 3am with a terrace offering good preview of the girls heading to Brix. And some discrete FL around.
Don't forget to report back!
I think it is much more than USD 100, how much you got last time and when.I did stay at orchard parade a few times.
The first time I got a great rate from the hotel desk at the airport.
No problem with guests.
I checked in with my girl from the Philippines.
Later in the night we had two girls and another guy join us for a small party.
But on later visits they can be very expensive.
Nice to see you here, dropped the argument on Hk, thanks for yr advice!
Could you pl recommend some nice hotels close to ot walking distance in the range of 100-125 USD.

Fellow Monger. If by "pick-up scene" you mean non-professionals, you're right across the street from CHIJMES. It's a collection of restaurants and nightclubs that is generally pretty busy, especially on Friday and Saturday nights.
For professionals, OT and Clarke Quay are close by.

Hi guys,
I am planning to go to Singapore end of March and was looking for a good 5 star girl friendly hotel, the kind that doesn't require you to walk the walk of shame with I'd, registration, etc.
Also, what would be a good area for this hotel? Not too far from Stamford road. How about the St. Regis?
Thanks in advance
Just look at the qyuote of mine you did. Royal Plaza on Scott is my suggestion, but it is not the only hotel in the area.Almost double the price. About 240 USD. Unless you get a special 50% discount. I used to but not anymore.

Royal Plaza is a lovely hotel, provided you don't want a panoramic view of the city. Curent going rate is about £130 a night.I think RP is a fave of punters! The location can't be beat. Brix across the road and OT up the street, easy to grab a taxi to head back up Scotts and scot around to Geylang. Plus smack in the middle of Singapore's downtown shopping area. I don't find the rooms are anything fancy, to be honest. The foyer looks the most impressive part of the hotel. But they're a decent size, clean and with decent fitout.
The minibar fridge is free. It's not stocked to the hilt but still, you get some soft drinks and Tiger beer and there's ample space so you can replenish it with your own choice of drinks from any nearby 7-11 (unlike any hotels where the minibar fridge is crammed full and everything is tagged so the moment you take it out it gets added to your bill).
But here's a tip for getting the best deal on Scotts: book through Wotif and look for their 'Wot Hotel' deal, which is a 'mystery hotel' with a super-low price but the name of the hotel is only revealed once you've made the booking.
The Wot Hotel code for Scotts is wotif dot com / hotel / View? Hotel=M7370 . I've used this before to land cheaper rates. If you check some of the description and then Google that line or snippet with 'wotif' in the search query you'll find RP comes up as the same hotel, but listed by name instead of as a Wot Hotel. And with much higher prices.
For example, the cheapest RP deal on Wotif for Friday Feb 25th to Sunday Feb 27th is SGD$330, and SGD$376 for Monday Feb 28th through the rest of that week.
But the Wot Hotel price is SGD$238 for Friday through Sunday and SGD$275 for Monday onwards. That's SGD$100 per night put back in your pocket for your playtime budget!
Can anyone suggest a website or apartment / condos that can be rented for few days around OT? We (8 guys) will be visiting Singapore in the next few weeks and would prefer to rent 2-4 condos rather then 8 hotel rooms. Closer to OT / Geylang the better.

The room was next to elevator and the noise level was uncomfortable. I am not sure if it was bad luck or the cheap rate rooms are rooms that have something wrong with them.

Most require a one week minimum rental and they range from so-so (I. E, Cairnhill Towers) to very, very nice (Pan Pacific, Treetops) , with price tags to match. Google "Singapore serviced apartments" and you'll find quite a few. You can also try "The Hotel Alternatives." Keep in mind that some of these properties cater to families, so mongering activities might need to be a little discreet.

I am staying at the Singapore Holiday-Inn, Orchard City Centre, formerly Holiday Inn Parkview, it is located just off Orchard Road on 11 Cavenagh Road, across the Orchard and Cuppage Plaza.
Since I read the forum, I knew about the massage place in the hotel. If you are not staying at the hotel, and come in from the street, just go through the lobby and take any of the 4 hotel elevators to the Basement (B-1) level and just past the elevators are 2 white wooden doors, with a sign to the right: "Park View Health Center". The reception desk lady asks to put down your name in a registration book (you can make up any name, there is a column for passport, which I ignored). She then asked how long your massage will be, and quotes you as other fellow board members also mentioned: $66 Sing dollars. I paid for the 1 hour and was led to room 14, on the way she asked me where I was staying, I told her in the building, she replied, we also can send girls up to your room. After I sat on the small massage room table / bed, I thought about my much more comfortable King size bed upstairs. The lady. Kimmie. That came in to give me the massage, was fairly old. Hard to guess her age without insulting her, but she was up there in age, and fairly skinny, I like them with more meat on their bones. She told me it was Sing $ 105 for the massage in my hotel room and $66 for the massage here. I decided to stay, but didn't like the old stale smell of cigarettes in the room. I guess the Non-smoking sign didn't mean much to many clients.
I took a shower. Alone. As directed by her, she covered me with two towels and started the massage. She is Chinese and has been working in that place for many years. She asked if this was my first time in Singapore, I told her no, I have been to the Milan and Monte Carlo before, when it still was open. (Which was not true, I just read about them in the forum)
Her massage was good. Right amount of pressure, not too light and not too hard, with good use of her under arms and elbows. We talked about her different customers, some Japanese and other Asians, but not many Americans or Europeans.
When she finished the massage, which included a good face / head massage, I already had turned over, she climbed on top of me and asked if I wanted some extras. I asked what she had in mind and what she could offer, she told me $80 for BJ and her taking her clothes off, or $100 for FS. I countered, all I wanted was a hand-job for $50, she quickly said ok, got the bottle of oil out and gave me a decent HJ.
After I took another quick shower and got dressed, she told me during the day there are many younger girls available, most of them Chinese and pretty. Nothing against her, she was friendly and did a god job with the massage, especially the face / head part, but if you are looking for a stunning young girl, she wasn't the one.
The massage place opens from 10:00 am until 11:30pm, but you have to arrive at 10:30pm for the last massage, since it takes an hour.
Overall it was ok, but will try other places next. Just giving this report for people either staying or considering staying at the Holiday Inn, Orchard City Centre.

It used to be predominantly Thai, but is now mostly Viet with a few Thai women and the occasional Russian, Kenyan, or Indian lady.
And as Ebauche noted, the beautiful Thai in Crazy Horse often aren't exactly girls.

Sentosa island, a short mono rail trip across from the city proper has some nice reasonably priced hotels right on the beaches with much larger rooms than the tiny cubicle like rooms in many other SG hotels.
Try Amaya or Siloso Beach Resort. Great place to take your Filipina maids for a full on shagfest if you have time!
They really let their hair down when you avoid the usual short time joints.
Girl friendly? I often get asked this, look if you book a double occupancy and behave discretely you will have no questions asked. This I find to be the rule in most places in Asia.

She told me it was Sing $ 105 for the massage in my hotel room and $66 for the massage here. I decided to stay, but didn't like the old stale smell of cigarettes in the room. I guess the Non-smoking sign didn't mean much to many clients.
I took a shower. Alone. As directed by her, she covered me with two towels and started the massage. She is Chinese and has been working in that place for many years. She asked if this was my first time in Singapore, I told her no, I have been to the Milan and Monte Carlo before, when it still was open. (Which was not true, I just read about them in the forum)
She told me $80 for BJ and her taking her clothes off, or $100 for FS. I countered, all I wanted was a hand-job for $50, she quickly said ok, got the bottle of oil out and gave me a decent HJ.
Its 88 dollars for 1. 20 hrs, if you want the addiitonal time. They have some good young ones too. The room visits are more comfortable. 120 dollars for FS. If you choose well you can have a great time.
Sentosa island, a short mono rail trip across from the city proper has some nice reasonably priced hotels right on the beaches with much larger rooms than the tiny cubicle like rooms in many other SG hotels.
Girl friendly? I often get asked this, look if you book a double occupancy and behave discretely you will have no questions asked. This I find to be the rule in most places in Asia.
AVAV,
You are 100% right. I was introduced to Sentosa some time ago by a friend and stayed there now a couple of times. Even it is not a real mongering place, it is a wonderful place to hang around with your girl or girls.
Once I tried my luck on the beaches. There are some targets, but it is really mongering, it is more or less attracting girls to be with you.
Hi Guys,
I will layover at the Crowne Plaza in the Airport. Any advice or idea where can I pick one up in the area. Greatly appreciated.

Hi Guys,
I will layover at the Crowne Plaza in the Airport. Any advice or idea where can I pick one up in the area. Greatly appreciated. RTFF with a search in the other threads for "airport".
It is only a short taxi or train ride to the city, which would greatly improve your choices.

Stopped by for small business and some pleasure and was tired of paying $325 for Royal Scotts.
Orchard Parade was recommended and as it is so close to the Towers, I gave it a try. $225 SD to $265 SD after fees and stuff was good value considering the neighborhood. Room was clean, well appointed, but carpet needed to be replaced (I wore shoes and socks all the time). Breakfast was as good as any overpriced hotel buffet, but was part of the room. Second night (split the trip between Singapore and Manila (check the report if you care to). No superior room available, so I was upgraded to suite and WOW! Credit to the Management, they included full access to the lounge (e. G. Eat and drink all you can before you go out!)
My MO is normally drink a furious 4-6 cocktails, smoke a cigar and hit the tower, . After a few rounds, I smoke a cigar (a ridiculously expensive cuban cigar from Oak Cellars) watching the traffic, trying to determine the difference between LB and Tall girls. After a few rounds of pool with a certain LB in Jamboree (top floor) , the traffic was light and mostly LB. I went to Ipanema at 1 am and the place was packed. Too much choice for me.
A tiny blond (fake) with plunging neckline asks if I need a friend and I mumble yes. Staring at the cleavage. I thought she meant her, but immediately called her friend who had an equally ample bust and a dress that would make Shakira blush. The two are grinding away on each side and offer $300 for double session. I fold like a cheap suit!
Luckily the Parade is Very GF as I brought back the two cute Cambodians Ipanema for double the fun. Even met another monger in the elevator (hey are you another forum. My two were way betterthan your one! Hehehe.
We had shower with lot's of soap. 4 hands massage, BBBJ while dining at the Y, mish one while the other "gives a helping hand" jerking and ball rubbing while still fucking. Is there a catchy name for this, as it is my all time fav and I do not know how to ask for it.
Vitamin see helped me keep up but delayed the main event. My industrious friends offered more swapping, a heart-breaking girl-girl make out session, prostate play, and some more "helping hand". After the finish, a dedicated shower that almost got out of hand. And they left (4:30 am). Small upsell at the door looking for a tip, and I gave them another $50. I was happy.
So easy to reach the towers, so GF and $150 cheaper that the neighborhood. I would recommend it over the Scotts, Hilton and others.

(yes, I RTFF, but people here is talking mainly about 5 stars hotels I can't afford) Fragrance and Hotel 81 are pretty downmarket properties, but if you're looking for very cheap, they're OK. If you're looking for something a little nicer, you might see if you can get a deal at some place like the Hotel Miramar or the River View Hotel on Havelock Road. You can sometimes find rooms for under $100 with these properties. You might also try the Berjaya Hotel on Duxton Road.

(yes, I RTFF, but people here is talking mainly about 5 stars hotels I can't afford) This is a very good place. It's as cheap as you'll get in Sing, short of a cesspit, and clean, albeit basic and family oriented despite the location plus it doesn't carry the "nudge nudge, wink wink" hourly rate connotations of H81 and Fragrance places.

There's also plenty of action nearby if Vietnamese karaoke girls are your thing (but never indulged personally so can't comment) and the temptations of Geylang are but a 15 minute walk away. One point to note if you have luggage is that the claim to be "100m" from Eunos MRT is very wide of the mark. It's a 10 minute walk. The rest of the website is pretty accurate though.

You don't appear to take private messages so I'll ask you here.
I wanted to follow up with this hotel. It appears it's around 100 SGD nett if booked throught the internet which is pretty amazing.
1. Is it girl friendly. No questions asked?
2. Do I book for two to ensure that or doesn't it matter?
3. I assume a room with a queen or king is available.
4. Is it near enough to Orchard and can I bring a girl back from there?
5. I assume it's close to Geyland. It's my first time to Sing. How does the Geyland experienc work? Do you bring freelancers back to one's hotel? Or is it more like in-house, etc?
Thanks for any help you can give me. The IBis itslef is $175 includin tax. Just seems like expensive to me.

Red1. See next answer.
2. That's what I always do and not been a problem for me so far. Just tell them my GF is "working this am / pm / evening" (depending on time of check-in) , take both keys and tell them she is joining me after she finishes work. Same as I do with any hotel in Asia and anyway not a million miles from the truth!
3. Yes.
4. It's not close to OT. 9 stops on the MRT- change at City Hall. With last train departing at about 11:30, so I presume you will need a taxi back and you will be overcharged. OT after midnight being about the only place in Singapore where taxi drivers can ignore their meters with impunity. You will need good negotiating skills (which will doubtless have just been finely honed within OT!) $20 is about what you should pay.
5. 15 mins walk to Geylang where you can find FL's in bars and on the street plus zillions of cat houses which are obviously ST only. In Geylang I've only done a couple of ST's so can't comment. One thing to beware of though if you're looking for an overnight. If you bring the lady back before about 2pm she will give you a couple of goes then try to get back and bag another client. Before leaving make sure you agree to pay in the morning. If she tells you she wants payment that evening, then look for another one.

After midnight there is rarely a queue unless it's raining.I've taken from both front and side, always the same. Not exactly a rip-off but they won't use meters. If you don't know local prices you will get ripped-off, if you have an idea of local rates you should be able to negotiate to within $5 or so of metered price. Only way to avoid is to start walking down Orchard Road for a few minutes and then stop a taxi.

Only way to avoid is to start walking down Orchard Road for a few minutes and then stop a taxi.Never been ripped off by a taxi driver at OT, ever. Not even when taking one NOT from the taxi stand. In tht situation, I merely insist they turn on the meter after the girl is in, but when I'm only halfway in.
Howeve, it is bst to use the stand. If the line is long, call for a taxi using your HP. Directions on how to do so on a sign right net to the stand. Realize if you are getting close to shift change or midnight when rates go up taxis mightbeome temporaily scarce.
And no matter what, even with late nigt surcharge and call in fee, a taxi anywhere reaonable from OT is still only going to set you back maybe 15-20 Sing tops.
I've never been ripped off by a taxi driver at OT. Don't take the ones out the front, use the taxi stand at the side of the building. After midnight there is rarely a queue unless it's raining.I'll second the part about never been ripped off. Yes, there are sometimes "pirate" cab drivers at OT, but they're upfront about how much they're charging. It's up to you to either take them or not. For someone living or staying close by, the few bucks extra might be worth the time savings when the queue is 15 20 minutes (which *does* happen somewhat frequently, even when it's not raining). Otherwise, I've never had a cab driver that refused to use the meter (and as someone who spends several hundred dollars a month on cabs here, I think I'd be in a pretty good position to know if this practice was common). The pirates taxis charge a ridiculous rate for going somewhere farther, such as an East Coast condo, so unless you're in the Orchard area I'd avoid them.
As an aside, all taxi stands are now "numbered" and you can very easily book a taxi via SMS. For example, to get a Comfort / Delgro taxi to the OT taxi stand, you'd send an SMS to 71222 with the words "Book F50." Taxis are crawling all over the Orchard area after midnight, so getting one this way is usually a lot faster than waiting in the queue, and a lot cheaper than the pirates.
I know it used to be there, but it's been a few years since I stayed at this hotel. I'll swing by the Riverview today and see if they still have a message parlor.I stopped by, and the "health club" is still on the 5th floor, but I didn't get the impression that any of the facilities are open for anyone but registered guests.
I've taken from both front and side, always the same. Not exactly a rip-off but they won't use meters. If you don't know local prices you will get ripped-off, if you have an idea of local rates you should be able to negotiate to within $5 or so of metered price. Only way to avoid is to start walking down Orchard Road for a few minutes and then stop a taxi.It sounds like you don't have much experience with cabs in Singapore.
The "pirate" cabs hang out both in front of OT, and a little bit along Claymore Road at the corner. Their "surcharge" is about $5 for a ride to a hotel in the Orchard / River Valley / Bras Brasah area, but significantly higher for anything farther out (a trip to Marine Parade will be about $50). Yes, if you're really drunk or they think you're a clueless tourist they'll try to hit you up for more, but that's life. Any taxi you catch from the taxi stand or that you book via your handphone will absolutely use the meter.
Other than the pirate cabs, the ONLY time I've ever had a cab driver not use the meter is when they've forgotten to start it. This has happend just a couple of times over the last several years, and both times I was offered the ride for free (which I didn't accept. I paid the drivers what I would typically pay for a trip on that route and at that time of day).

Dear all. Am enjoying my stay in SIN and this hotel is very nice from a cleanliness and aesthetic standpoint. I am being put up by business so I don't know the cost but I suspect it's pretty expensive. As far as the health club services, there is no onsite massage. They only do it in the actual hotel room. I got one and it was pretty mediocre (done on the bed) with, of course, no extras (not sure I would have wanted them from the unattractive older woman that was sent). Haven't been down the road to the Riverview as Tanglin suggested below but might try that before I leave town this weekend. I did have a pretty satisfying experience at an OT massage place that I'll put on the other section.

The hotel is GF and it is about a 15' walk from OT, or appr 6. 00 SGD by taxi when returning back to avoid a 15' walk of shame with the click-click of high heels stomping aside you on the sidewalk.
Reasonably priced, large room, generous bathroom with separated shower capable to host 2, and bathtub, internet connection of a fee (75. 00 SGD for 7 days)

That's an empty threat. I know someone who got cheated out of $45 in change ($5 cab ride, $50 bill in payment but driver never handed over change). The cab company didn't do anything.Your friend is a jerk. Or spineless.
All he had to do was refuse to pay, and then call 999. And then if the driver gets agitated, politely say 'I need receipt for claiming' no receipt, no pay.
Or call 1800. CALL LTA (1800. 2255 582) and tell the driver to wait for the receipt, so he can be paid.
Nah. If you got into drama with the new small cab companies, yes, they may NOT act, but calling LTA / Police is a deterrent enough.
And with guys like your friend, who give in and walk off, the eeeny meeny minority of the taxi drivers who tout outside OT only become bolder.
And for that matter, if anybody picked a taxi outside OT, instead of the taxi stand on the side, the person needs to firstly "follow the law" rather than jumping the 4 foot fence and then blaming he got scammed.
I, living here, used to get conned many years ago, when I picked cabs on the road, being lazy to join the queue. 9 out of 10 times, it never was an issue, but the few times the driver suddenly shows a 20$ meter for a drive to River Valley, I politely insist on the receipt, and next day fax the receipt + my bar bill, showing, for example, I left the bar at 10. 00 PM, whereas the taxi meter shows I got into the taxi at 9. 00 PM (they just run the meter) and more than once, the taxi company sent me apology letter and also a note that the driver has been suspended.
It is 3 warnings and the driver gets off the company, for Comfort / City. The smaller guys are a bit lenient, but the threat of LTA always worked wonders.

JoshHotel is fine and GF no problem, my mate stayed there a few times and brought plenty back from Brix or OT.
Used to be Indian FL's near Mustafa but very much of the "horrible old dog" variety. Desker Road, and Rowell Road are both within walking distance and all are to be avoided IMHO. Haven't been that way for a couple of years though so I'm a little out of date.

Hi folks,
Is Landmark Village hotel girl friendly. If it's not, then is there any other hotel in the vicinity which is girl friendly. Would appreciate any info on this. Thanks in advance.
Cheers

CheersI'd have thought you would have picked up by reading the Singapore fora that EVERY hotel in SG is GF.
A possible exception is the YWCA hostel, but I wouldn't bet on it.

It's always better to be double sure, since in a city like Bangkok, where it is assumed that every hotel is GF, the girl was turned away or an option given to vacate the hotel room since it's a hotel for families is what I was told. It was hotel Rembrandt at Sukhimwit Soi 21. If that could happen in a city like Bangkok, it could happen anywhere. And there are no posts about Landmark Village Hotel to get this clarified. That's why the query. And am sure you would appreciate the reason.
Cheers
