Expedia vs Hotels.com in Singapore
A useful Asia stopover and a compact long-weekend on its own — most major sights are reachable by MRT within 30 minutes from any central base. Marina Bay for the iconic skyline, Gardens by the Bay, and Merlion views; Chinatown and Tiong Bahru for cheaper, character-led stays with hawker-centre food on the doorstep; Orchard Road for shopping and the most hotel inventory. Formula 1 weekend (September) and Chinese New Year (January/February) are the largest price spikes. Singapore is mid-range for Asia — budget £110+/night for a well-rated central stay. Changi Airport connects to City Hall in 30 minutes on the East-West MRT line; the airport itself is worth a half-day if you have a long layover. Headline rate in Singapore runs £110–£380/night — both sites pull from the same inventory, so the price you see for a given property is almost always the same. Differences come from coupon stacking and member-only rates.

Which site to use for Singapore
- Just want the cheapest hotel — check both; cheapest wins. Coupon promotions in Singapore typically run on one site or the other (rarely both), so a 30-second compare often saves £5–£15/night.
- Adding flights from the UK — Expedia. Their flight + hotel package to Singapore typically saves 10–30% versus booking separately.
- Wanting full cancellation flexibility — Hotels.com's "Fully refundable" filter is faster to apply at the results-page level. Both sites honour the same merchant policies once you book.
- Want activities in Singapore too — Expedia carries tours and experiences for Singapore in the same booking flow. Hotels.com doesn't.
