Cheap Hotels in the Singapore Airport

Ambassador Transit Hotel: Terminal 1

• Passengers leaving from Terminal 1 will find this branch of the Ambassador -- with a swimming pool, gym, bar, showers and business rooms -- on the third floor of the Transit Mall East. The minimum six-hour stay at the Ambassador will suit travelers with short layovers; additional hours are charged at a per-hour rate. The "standard room," with ensuite bathroom, television, optional wake-up call, and coffee and tea makers, can sleep one, two or three travelers. Rates as of 2010 are between $45 and $65, depending on the number of occupants. For a "budget room," which is only available for single occupancy and shares showers and toilets with neighboring rooms, you'll pay about half that price. The budget room also contains a television and allows the option of a wake-up call.
