I got a personal rule as a business traveler:
I would not ask my company to pay more than I can personally afford for an hotel in business trip.
Four years ago, I was staying in Singapore for around S$ 280 per night, and I saw to price of the hotels climbing vertically and decided to strike (normal .. I'm French) on 5* hotels and some of the 4* who believe being 5*.

This Hotel Re was a decision i took while I was in great protest spirit against price hike.
The hotel is non-smoking
Address:
I booked it @ S$ 122 per night, which is far below my allowance for the following reasons:
- It got a car park and from time to time I'm driving from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore, and it is difficult to find hotel with true free car park, not limited by low height. I got a big 4x4 and lots of Singaporean car parks are only designed for Ferraris.
- It is at 5 minutes green walk from the subway station "Outram Park" on the green line bringing you to the CBD - Central Business District
- It is facing China town, which has numerous gems in term of restaurants
Now you know the reasons, let's talk about the hotel by itself
Check-in
a fast check-in with a smile
- Since there is no restaurant around at less than 5 mins; they give you a 50% voucher to eat at the hotel restaurant.
The room
I booked the Deluxe Room
It is small, but well designed; the WIFI is working, the TV is big enough for the room and there are enough channels to watch from (including TV5 monde for the Frenchies ;-)
I booked a queen bed and i got a queen bed, which was surprising, as most of the hotels are always trying to fake upgrades to give you 2 twins, thing that I HATE.
Last and most important thing: It is QUIET.
The gym
Hey hey ... what to say? 1 runner, 1 multi-purpose weight machine cramped into a ridiculous small room without any interior design effort to make it look bigger.
The restaurant
Don't expect to be successful with a date in this restaurant, but honestly the food was pretty good for the price in an open on reception concept restaurant without pretension.
Would I recommend this hotel?
At S$ 122 per night, I think it is a good deal. I slept very well, and yes I would recommend it.
Enjoy your stay, and please comment here if you agree/disagree with this review
PS: Don't forget to visit their bar to use their 50% voucher on house wine; it is visually impressive ;-)
