Why this hotel is hot: It's right inside the buzzing Seminyak district and a short stroll to the beach; has its own charming lap pool flanked by tropical palms; and costs less than S$100 a night - you'll be hard pressed to find a better deal than that!

While it may not be as plush as the other resorts, this one's firmly in the full-service hotel category.

All your creature comforts are present: En-suite bathtubs and hair dryers in every room; a flat-screen TV; complimentary wi-fi; and 24-hour front desk service.

"Standard" amenities aside, isn't the whole point of staying in Seminyak about being able to go out and experience the town?

You're better off spending time outside of your room: Think shopping around the quaint little boutiques; dining at the Aussie-inspired brunch spots; lazing around the beach; and of course, partying the night away in Seminyak's smattering of trendy bars.

From S$67 a night for two guests.
