Hi,
I'm going to SG for an internship (yay, summer in Singapore!),
and I've been talking to this hostel for some weeks already,
discussing rooms and so...
And then, just when I'm about to confirm my 2-month period stay
with them, they come to me and say:
"We make a 1-month contract, or you can pay 3 months to stay
2!"
What the...? I told them all along that I was staying 2 months,
they never told me anything! What's the problem of paying twice the
1-month rent? If they have 1-month period, they logically should
have 2, no? I'm not asking for a discount, just to pay twice the
normal price, that's all!
So I wonder, is this kind of normal, or are they some shady
dealers? Maybe it's just a cultural thing I'm not used to? Do you
find it ok, or should I look for somewhere else?
