I am not sure you could see any decent girl from club, ktv, whatever, smiling to the idea of accompanying you at Backpacker's Hotel.
If you want to save money, sure the cheapest hotels are Hotel 81 or Fragrance Hotel in Geylang (see hotels.com to compare), but be aware there are girls coming and going 24h from/to rooms. Years ago, they were even waiting customers in the lobby. Too bad Geylang has been spoiled and it's not so good anymore.
Until some years ago, when my work led me to Singapore, I was used to stay at V Hotel in Lavender: perfect compromise between decent room, price (yet above 150 SGD), location (Lavender MRT station, in the middle between Geylang and Orchard). I was able to choose freely to aim at Orchard Towers or at Geylang, night by night.
Now, Singapore has become way too expensive. The amount of money needed to spend a fun night in Singapore (S$150-200 hotel, S$200+ girl from OT, S$50 dinner, plus incidentals) is enough for several DAYS of super fun in Batam without giving up to anything.
Therefore, when I finish my stay for work in KL, now my SOP is: 10am bus KL-SIN Harbour Front, ferry to Harbour Bay around 17:00, Formosa. Overall, it may take 7-8 hours, which is not bad compared to the 4 hours typically needed for Changi-Formosa
