Have you ever considered renting a studio apartment in Singapore instead of renting a hotel room? If you haven’t, learn why you should try it on your next trip!

===

Booking for a hotel room might sound very usual, but renting a studio apartment in Singapore? For some people, it may sound familiar, but for others, they might not know the difference between a studio apartment room and a regular hotel room.

A studio apartment is usually called an efficiency apartment or a studio flat. Many people pick a studio apartment for a long stay, like when you go to college or simply move out and make a studio apartment as a place to stay daily. So many people are looking for an apartment for rent in Singapore monthly, and a studio apartment in Singapore is a favorite choice.

Why? Because it is very efficient, just like the name. A studio apartment usually consists of a room, including a bedroom, a living room, and a kitchen. The only separated room is the bathroom. Thus, the studio apartment is very suitable for a bachelor. Staying alone (or maximum 2 people) will be very comfortable in a studio apartment. It is not too big, and not too small either. It already has a kitchen where you can cook, and even some of them might have a laundry spot as well.

Choosing a studio apartment in Singapore for a year or two makes so much sense. Now what if you are about to choose a studio apartment just for a temporary staycation Singapore moment that will only take several days? Or a quite long business trips, perhaps?

Well, if you want to experience new things, maybe you ought to try a studio apartment in Singapore for your next holiday instead of browsing for hotels in Singapore. Just like the hotel options that are varied from some luxurious hotels to cheap hotels in Singapore, the price range for a studio apartment will be varied too. You can still find a cheap apartment for rent in Singapore. The apartment’s price is usually according to the location, the apartment’s facilities, and the size of the studio apartment itself.

Why You Should Rent a Studio Apartment in Singapore?

Let’s put this on your mind first: you are a person about to spend your holiday in Singapore. You have listed all the attractions and places that you want to visit in the city (and don’t forget about the Singapore Rediscovers Vouchers that you can use in almost all attractions in the city). But now, you are confused whether to book a hotel room or a studio apartment.

Well, let us help you by putting these points of view. We are really sure that these points below can help you consider whether you are right to choose a studio apartment or not.

Your stay in a studio apartment in Singapore will be way cheaper than staying in the hotel, even when you already use the hotel promotion Singapore programme from Traveloka on your hotel booking. First of all, in a studio apartment, you can wash and dry your clothes on your own. Usually, there is a washer and dryer inside the studio apartment in Singapore, and even though there is not, the washer and dryer is usually in the same building and sometimes you don’t have to pay an extra charge for it (and even when you need to pay the extra charge, the cost is usually not that expensive).
Save your budget by cooking. There is a kitchen inside the studio apartment and you can’t make it wasted by not cooking at all. That is the reason why a studio apartment is also a place to stay and why people are looking for an apartment for rent in Singapore monthly: because you can cook in its kitchen! This will be very convenient too if you plan to have your holiday for a quite long duration. A week, for example. Well, you can’t keep paying for a breakfast at the hotel and then go find another lunch and dinner at other places if you want to stay for long, right?
Most of the apartments still have some facilities like the hotel has. For example, they also have a swimming pool and a gymnasium. For a price where you can get your own kitchen or washer and dryer inside your own room, enjoying the facilities inside the apartments are making it more worthy.
You will feel more privacy and you will also feel more homey, because everything is already inside your room.
Plan your trip carefully. A studio apartment will be more suitable for longer stay, like 6 nights, for example. If you only want to stay for a day, maybe it is better to find a regular hotel instead (even though some apartments can be booked only for 1 night too).

So, what do you think? Is taking the studio apartment in Singapore a really good idea for you?

Apartments are also divided into so many price ranges. Just like when you choose a hotel, you have to make sure what is your budget first.
