I suppose the orthodox route would be a Serviced Apartment.
Then you have hotel
A sublet in an HDB
Crashing with friends.
If serviced apartment, just search this site (links at top). Or use the Search button, the question is quite a routine one.

$7k for a months rental! that would take most of my monthly salary!! what do people who earn more normal amounts do when they are in such a situation??
PS: I am planning to move to SG on some date in september-october and might find myself in a similar situation.
I wonder if I have been shafted on my offered Singapore salary, given that even single room Service Apartment are soo expensive almost approaching my monthly basic salary!! I am single 27 years old dude and an IT Professional.

Try a hostel or cheap hotel - you can get a basic room for S$60-80/night, which works out to below S$2000 for the three weeks.
Don't expect any luxuries, though, at that price.
If you're travelling and don't have a long-term visa that allows residency, you are not allowed to rent normal residential property anyway. So you have no other choice than hotels and services apartments.

and just closed!
Aside from the novelty, who'd want to stay in a capsule hotel? Those in Japan are for people who missed the last train home (cabs are ridiculously expensive). Singers' got reasonable (relatively speaking of course) cabs and the Night Rider buses.

I spent 2 weeks at Tree In Lodge - It is a dorm and pretty neat and cheapClarebear wrote:Hi

I don't even think its even a novelty! Rather a desperate measure on a very tight budget and I'm pretty sure there are plenty of takers if the doors lock even if its just to dump travelling bags and sleep in the open.nakatago wrote:and just closed!

Take a look down east coast and you will see some desperate people, that cannot even afford the capsule hotel or can but prefer the open space.
I don't think it is closed becuase of the fire certificate application, the place has been inspected and is awaiting the application out come, it maybe limited to a few people though instead of the full 30
