COMO metropolitan Singapore
Address - 30 Bideford Rd
Highlights - new! Warm feels, robotic beverage, nice infinity pool, convenient
Avg. Price per Person - 140 (opening promo)
Rating - 5/5
Managed to snag a good opening deal by Trip.com for Como! Came with early check in at 12noon and 3pm late checkout. The room is very spacious and we love the warm lighting and woodly elements of the room. There is even a small kitchenette. Perfect for short stays.
No bathtub but that means more space for the room. Guess our only complain is that the toilet seat cover have 'water stains' that cannot be cleaned for whatever reason.
Love the king size bed. Pillow was pretty soft but ok once you fold it into half. Tv rack can be swiveled out. And there is netflix! Perfect for netflix and chill.
Location wise, it is near Orchard mrt. Nearest mall is paragon and there is shelter walkway via the mosque. Super convenient.
Our stay also includes breakfast. They adopt a semi buffet style whereby you can order a main. Each table gets a bread basket. Buffet selections are quite sad: yoghurt, fruits, juice, cereal. We got eggs benedict and it was once of the best I had! So kind of make up for the lack of buffet selections.
Service is generally above average.
My wish for 2024 is to do more staycays and explore the hotels in Singapore!

great Tokyo boutique hotel at great location
#hotelreview #tokyo
Hotel Hisoca Ikebukuro
Address - 1 Chome-10-4 Nishiikebukuro, Toshima City, Tokyo 171-0021, Japan
Ambiance/Facilities - lounge with drinks and board games, dry/mist sauna in every room
Highlights - clean and very sweet looking hotel
Avg. Price per Person - 150++
Rating - 5/5
This hotel is excellently located! Just 5min walk to Ikebukuro station via exit 4 (Lumine). 5min walk to Hotel Metropolitan where you can take the airport limo to Haneda or Narita. Ikebukuro station is located on Yamamonte line and is a transfer hub hence convenient for you to get to anywhere. There are also 4 department stores with direct link to the station! Sunshine City is slightly further away but still within walking distance!
Our room is the standard King room which comes with mist sauna. Sauna is located in bathroom, which explains why the entire bathroom easily takes up at least one third of the room! Thankfully our room has window! Smart tv comes with netflix which is super great as japanese tv doesnt have subtitles. There is sofa area which couples as storage area too. They only provide hanger rack with limited storage spaces. Hence we put our stuff at every space we could find.
Bed and pillows are comfortable. Air con comes with heater function too. Air purifier is also provided. Like our headboard area where all the light switches are, and also doubles as charging point and storage space.
Service is great. Staff can speak sufficient english and are courteous. Also helped to carry the luggages to our room on day1 when we arrived prior to check in and stored luggages with them.
They have various types of bed configurations so do check out their website!
Would definitely stay here again if i am back at Tokyo!

wonderful Fairmont
Fairmont Singapore
Address - 80 Bras Basah Road
Avg. Price per Person - 200++
Rating - 4.5/5
Finally got to try Fairmont! Booked previous 2 stays here and there were all cancelled within free cancellation period.
We walked in slightly after 1pm to try our luck for early check in and managed to score 1! We booked the signature king suite at the newly renovated South tower. There are only 2 of this type of suite per level. Ours has city view while the other has pool/city view with partial bay view.
Coming in at 56sqm, the room is very very spacious and comfortable. We have double balcony. Love the colour scheme of the room. The bed was super comfortable though pillow too soft. Do note that this room type doesnt come with bathtub! And check out the descriptions on the toiletries. Love their sense of humour.
Would totally book this again if there is promotion in future!

love the heated pools at Dusit Thani
Dusit Thani Laguna
Address - 11 Laguna Golf Green
Highlights - heated pools!
Avg. Price per Person - 150+
Rating - 4.5/5
Husband and I did our anniversary staycation here. Was drawn to the resort vibes and ulu destination. And it worked. Because it is so inaccesible and beside a golf course, you do feel like you arent Singapore.
We took a grab in. Nearest MRT is expo. They do have shuttle bus but it is only for hotel guests. Which means you need to check in first. There are shuttle buses to Jewel, Changi City and MBS. Timings arent very frequent so you really need to plan well and book in advance. If you arent looking to venture beyond the hotel grounds, then food delivery, room service and their in house restaurant is also good option. We ordered room service and food was good.
Room itself is very pleasant and spacious. No bathub but rain shower is enjoyable. Bed is firm and quilt is comfy. No netflix but you can chromecast to watch youtube.
If you come here, you must go to their pools. It is big and HEATED! We went after 6pm and there were only 2 other guests around. We had the best swim experience here amongst the SG hotels.

perfect marina bay view room
Swissotel the Stamford

Highlights - tallest hotel in Singapore
Avg. Price per Person - 250+
Rating - 4.5/5
Did a 2 night staycation and thoroughly enjoyed it! The marina bay view room is really much better than city view. Room is spacious. Bed is comfy. Also like the cushion and table.
Bathroom is on the smaller side but still ok. Didnt like the shower in bathtub combi though.
Hotel is also very convenient. Directly linked to Raffles City and City Hall mrt.

comfy airport hotel at Osaka
Hotel Nikko Kansai Airport
Highlights - connected to Kansai airport
Avg. Price per Person - 75++
Rating - 4/5
We had a 11am flight to catch hence opt to stay a night at the premium economy room so we didnt need to rush. Hotel Nikko is directly linked to Kansai airport so really very convenient for those with early flight to catch or reach Osaka late at night. The room is not the most spacious but it is very clean and there is still room for 2 luggages. Bed was also comfortable and we slept well.
We got sea view room and the sunset view was awesome. Also it is 1 stop away from Rinko premium outlets so shopping is convenient. No regrets!

fantastic Intercontinental Osaka
Spent 4 nights at Intercontinental Osaka at their premium king room with city view. Room is very spacious. Love every part of the room. Only issue we had was the pillows were way too soft. Though this was solved by memory foam pillows. Reception speaks good english so no issues with communication. This is within sheltered walking distance to Osaka station so very very convenient. Would absolutley stay here again if i visit Osaka again

FBH never fails
Highlights - amazing service and room
Avg. Price per Person - 300+
Rating - 5/5
Had another amazing stay at Fullerton Bay Hotel. Was awarded a complimentary upgrade as there was an issue during my previous stay. Emailed the hotel 1 week before my stay and was duly upgraded. Was even granted a late check out without us asking. They even gift us complimentary fruits and red wine, as we were returning guests.
The only thing to note is that there were pretty loud music from a party nearby which went on till 11+pm. Something to note if you are planning to stay here over the weekend

amazing Swissotel SG
Swissotel the Stamford
Address - 2 Stamford Road
Ambiance/Facilities -
Highlights - amazing service, amazing room, amazing view
Avg. Price per Person - 150+
Rating - 5/5
Swissotel is actually the tallest hotel in Singapore! We stayed at the 46th floor and was treated to great city views.
The room is very spacious. The long corridor might seem like a waste of space but it is exactly great for soundproofing. There was absolutely no disturbance from our neighbours at all. Every space and furniture was also well thought out and planned. The bathroom might seem a tad small compared to other hotels but i totally dont mind.
Pools were shared with Fairmont hotel. It wasnt crowded at all when we visited after breakfast.
This hotel is also very convenient as it is directly linked to Raffles City and City Hall mrt. Which means you have access to marina square and suntec. No worries about rainy weather.
Service was great too. Andik helped us check in and accommodated our request for high floor. Even sent a delicious cake to our room. Thank you Andik and Swissotel for a wonderful stay! We would love to be back!

Great Breakfast Spread At Bentley Hotel
I have never known that a 3 star hotel would be able to provide a wide variety spread of buffet breakfast for travellers here in Taiwan. My thinking was always a simple breakfast to go, or just a 1 time set meal provided by the hotel and that's it.
But not for Bentley Hotel, the dining room which is well furnished, has a spread of western food like your sausages and fries, where they too of course have Taiwanese breakfast like porridge, and condiments like pork floss, eggs, peanuts and many other choices. Also, there are hot food like steam fish, Marinated chicken, stir fried vegetables and cakes too!
For a 3 star hotel, I've to say this is one amazing stay here in Taoyuan!

Most wonderful time of the year
It was a joy to see the Christmas decorations all up in Fairmont as it really contributed to the festive mood. A clean and comfortable hotel, Fairmont has modern rooms and even smart amenities like an in-room motion sensor so that it switches off the lights when no one is inside. Staff are also helpful and approachable.
My overall rating of the experience: 4 out of 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Homestay with lovely pool
Just a convenient 2-minute walk away from Nicoll Highway train station, this concourse skyline apartment is the perfect place to explore the nearby heritage attractions and malls. It is close enough to the city area as well. One of the perks is the lovely swimming pools, one for laps and another free-form leisure one. There is even a jacuzzi available under the shade. Pretty good for a stay.

Colonial pool backdrop
We were blown away by the two humongous swimming pools at this hotel. On either side, there are deck chairs and lounge sofas to get a nice sun tan at. No need to reserve time slots to use the pool, can do so anytime. Highly recommend trying it out as it usually isn’t very crowded.

Rating - 5/5
Booked a night's stay here via another app. During check in, enquired if we managed to get an upgrade and the staff gave us a double upgrade to the Lady Astor room! The room was awesome! There were 2 double beds which were so comfortable that it was hard to wake up the next morning. Bathroom is bigger than my own bedroom at home!
Staff even gave my partner a birthday card and cake. And since we stayed here before, it was written welcome back! Nice touch
Do book with St Regis and you wont be disappointed!

Soak in a resort swimming pool
My favourite part about our stay here at Sofitel Resort Sentosa is the incredibly massive swimming pool that is surrounded by beautiful lush palm trees and greenery. Just lying on the lounge chair to get a tan while reading or taking a dip in the cool waters was an unforgettable experience. Do be careful as some of the pool floor tiles are unpatched so swim and safe with caution.

The Clan Hotel facilities
The facilities at this hotel is pretty amazing. The gym is state-of-the-art where there are a wide variety of equipment, including a trampoline and a martial arts figure. You can also follow a video and do a Zumba session if you want. The pool is a bit small but the sunset view from here is beautiful.

Where to dine near The Clan Hotel
Doing a staycation at The Clan Hotel? You will be spoilt for choice on what to eat as the hotel is surrounded by good food and various cuisine types. There are Japanese, western and Chinese restaurants as well as a multitude of bars located right next door. I would personally recommend the chilli ban mee located across the street.

Montigo Resort for the weekend
This was the first time that my friends and I had our very own swimming pool in our villa. We totally made use of that and swam our hearts out. We also had a good time taking a walk around the entire property, which was pretty huge. Breakfast buffet was included with our stay as well, so we got to enjoy that at the resort restaurant.

Port Dickson holiday
Avilion Resort covers a huge plot of land so my husband and I had a fun time exploring the different parts of the resort. Remember to bring insect repellent with you as the resort may not provide it. It was a nice experience that our room had a balcony that opened up to the sea, like a watered down version of the overwater villas in the Maldives. The bathroom is open-air so I was concerned if we’d get insects at night.

Island life stay
To get to Sofitel Resort Sentosa, there are a number of ways. You can either take the monorail from VivoCity, take a shuttle bus within the island or drive in. You will be greeted with lush greenery and sounds of fountains everywhere on the property, just an absolute tranquil place to do a staycation. Rooms are sufficiently comfortable too.

Casual hotel restaurant
The rooms here at M Social can be a little on the smaller side so we were very motivated to head out someplace else to chill. The hotel-operated restaurant downstairs was a really nice place as it had both indoor and alfresco outdoor seating. I especially liked dining at the area near the entrance where you can people-watch while enjoying your meal.

Free drinks with our stay
My husband and I had a staycation at Fairmont hotel and thanks to our loyalty programme status, our stay came with free drink coupons that could be redeemed at any of their bar outlets. We were assigned a comfortable room with a clean bathroom so it was all good. It was very nicely furnished as well.

Staycation in Chinatown
You can easily access this hotel by taking the MRT train and alighting at Telok Ayer station. It exits right at the entrance of the hotel. I like that it was in the vicinity of many food places so we never needed to worry about what to eat. Our stay came with breakfast, which turned out to be quite average though.

Hualien Wow hostel stay
Even though I don’t usually stay in hostels as I don’t prefer to share toilets, this one was not too bad. We got the room with double decker beds and our own private toilet. It was clean too, very important. But I liked the common lounge spaces most as it looked super hip and trendy. There was even a guitar there for guests to have a hand at it.

Green gardens and turquoise waters
If you are looking for a luxurious resort to escape the city life and be more in touch with nature, Sofitel Resort Sentosa would be my suggestion. The garden spaces all around this resort is well-kept and inviting, with swings placed in certain spots. You can also enjoy the sounds of flowing water and even spy a peacock or two!

Newly refurbished hotel
The spanking new flagship Hilton hotel on Orchard road has taken over the previous Mandarin Orchard hotel with a much more modern look. Our room was fitted with contemporary fittings and furniture, and I especially enjoyed using the settee by the window to relax in. The bathroom also comes with a tub.

Funky rooftop bar
Right on the topmost floor of Courtyard Marriott hotel is Las Palmas rooftop bar! The moment you step out of the lift, you can see the colourful entrance. What I love most about it is the full-length windows that allow so much natural light in and offer amazing views of the surrounding greenery. Best part is it is located next to the pool for those much needed thirst-quenching after a swim.

Architectural hotel beauty
Sindhorn Kempinski hotel is a gorgeously designed hotel and you can see it the moment you walk through its doors. The lobby is so inviting and is a splendid place for afternoon tea. We were very kindly upgraded to a suite and had ample space to move about inside. Loved our stay!

Short resort getaway
Given that Batam is a short ferry ride away from the jetties of Singapore, my friends and I decided to do a short getaway here for the weekend. Wow our unit was super massive in size, plus it was double-storied as well. However, so be prepared for lots of insects and lizards even inside the property as many spaces are open-air.

Eat your fill at Ritz
This hotel is quite accessible via the underground trains as it is just a brief walk. It is also connected to a number of malls, like the Marina Square shopping mall or Millenia Walk. However, it is unlikely that you will need to head out of the hotel for food as not only does the lounge provide multiple meals a day, there are also 3 other restaurants on level 1 to choose from, including a bakery for any breakfast items or sweet treats.
