You Can Book An Affordable “Daycation” From Just $50 With This New Hotel Booking Platform In Singapore

Dayuse Singapore


The urge to book a hotel stay without a passport just to lepak has led us to the term “staycation”, and in case you haven’t heard, “daycations” are now a thing too. Daycations are a great way to get access to hotel facilities and amenities at the fraction of usual prices – perfect for all those who proclaim “I’m not going to pay just to spend half the time sleeping”. 

Enter Dayuse: a daycation booking platform where you can book a room at more than 100 hotels in Singapore without having to fork out extra for an overnight stay. Take a dip in the pool, hit up the gym or loan some complimentary board games to enjoy with your friends – just as a regular guest would.

Below are some of the more affordable daycation deals we found from just $50:
