Why ? A Venue is a bit of a cleaner area, though it still has the occasional street kid and wanna-be tourist guide following you .. And the Mini Stop has kids opening doors and asking tips .. not scary for me anyway.

St gile's rates floats between SG$80-100. I've also paid before SG$130 for it before because of some exhibition or something.
St Giles also got a lot of locals staying, i dont know from where and staying there for what, but there are a lot of pretty decent looking locals among the groups. I guess they are in the hospitality field.

That's a bit out of my range, as my expense is out of pocket. And, yes, a lot of pinoys in hospitality always seem to get free tickets, free hotels, and 'occular inspection' (site visit?) which includes a one night stay and all. I wonder how the hotels and airlines make money by giving away free stay and flights. ..

Anyway, the only -ve thing about St. Giles is that the toilets are small, and their rooms are very typical rooms, with connecting doors to the room next door, but they are always locked. I'm a big guy and when I bang a chick, i bang pretty loudly, so the noise gets really loud at like 2-3am when i am drunk enough to bring a girl back.

Ah, no, I don't need a super large toilet but I need one big enough for two person ..

My fav is still Malate. Walk to all pubs at the circle or a short taxi to Cowboy grill or LA Cafe etc. If hungry, plenty of korean, japanese and chinese food around. Or worse walk to Robinson Ermita for the fast food and buy those essential without the need for taxi.
Only downside is the poor kids, beggars and flood during the raining season.

I gave up on Berjaya before the renovation. I hope they got it back better. I got 65 US$ from my travel agent in Manila, for Berjaya, break fast included.
Yep, Malate can drive you nuts if you are not street wary. Kids pulling your shirt and women with kids blocking you .. I have at times taken a taxi from Robinsons to Rivera - Rivera is across Hyatt COD.
