Singapore has the best quality
of hotels in all of Asia. Consisting of mainly 3 and 1/2 Star to 5 Star
rooms and suites with budget options available away from the Orchard
Road and main tourist areas.
|
Breakfasts: Most hotels do
not include breakfast in the Room Charge. Both buffet and continental
breakfast options are available equivalent to what you would pay
for the same star rating in Australia. The food quality is easily
much better than Australia with some hotels offering brunch options
including some Asian style dishes. The brunch at the Shangri La
Hotel is the best I have ever sampled.

Internet Access: Most
Singaporeans have broadband internet in their homes so there are not
that many internet cafes around the city. Though, at least one can be
found in each major hotel and shopping centre. Cost is about the same
you would pay here in Australia.
|
Power Supply: Voltage is 220
- 240 volts at 50 Hertz via a 3 square pin plus being 1 vertical
and 2 horizontal. Make sure you get the Australian 3 pin to Singapore
3 pin adapter. It is recommended to get the pin converter before
you leave to allow you use your own appliance/devices. Airport
Duty Free is a good place to pick up the right one (tax free after
you clear immigration). For example, your battery chargers, dryers
and notebooks computers will require an adapter.
