staying in Singapore (part 2)
October 05, 2014got a few friends asking where I was staying in Singapore so here it is!
at the beginning, we wanted to stay at the infamous Marina Bay Sands with their infinity pool (our main aim) but being the Google Queen, I read reviews about how packed they are during weekends and holidays and also how strict they are toward guests that goes to their pool
since we were going to get a double bed meant for two persons to accommodate the four of us, this is a problem as only two of us can go up to the infinity pool, no fun!
so we actually use our free time to search for a hotel with almost the same facilities
we don't want just an expensive hotel, but one that has special/ unique facilities
and this is when I found out about this hotel....
Oasia by Far East Hospitality
How special is this hotel compared to others then?
well, for the normal deluxe rooms, you get what every other hotel can offer- a good night's sleep with a pool. nada. that's all
but for their club rooms/suite, you get to chill at their club lounge called "The Living Room" and also a infinity pool alike pool with complimentary breakfast, cocktail and all-day coffee, tea, juices, soft drinks and alcoholic drinks (from 6pm to 8pm)
I know, WHATTTTTT???
I forgot the bring my camera charger so my camera went dead on me so no original photos from me, these were taken from the internet
Club Rooms are equipped with:
- 46 inch LCD interactive television
- Satellite television channels
- Unlimited Broadband Internet access
- Hair dryer
- In-room safe box
- Bath amenities from Thann
- iPod docking entertainment system
- Iron and ironing board
- Nespresso® coffee-making facilities
- Complimentary In room selection of Vitamin water
- Temperature control panels
The room also comes with an amazing view of Singapore
The club lounge I was telling you about
and right beside it is the pool on level 22 completed with a sauna also!
at first we decided to go decent and asked the counter whether we can bring "friends" to the pool (two out of the four of us lah) and they said okay, as long as you pay SGD30 per friends
we were hesitant about it then decided to break the rules and just go (the four of us, hand in hand lol)
and, unless you want to get some nibbles from the buffet table (they will ask for your room number), it's fine! yippee yay yay somebody is watching and taking good care of us from above
the pool
swimming with a view!
just me and my white wine in the sauna *shrugs
and some nibbles
ALL THESE in comparison with the normal level 8 pool
look me in the eyes and tell me the club lounge one is not awesome
I assume it's okay if you're travelling for business and just need a bed, definitely not travelling in style as us lol
also, another plus of this hotel is that it is located right above of the Novena MRT station
making travelling easier and so convenient
and it is not as overrated as MBS (Marina Bay Sands) so there's not as much guests so no fighting for the pool and taking photos that is photobombed
probably also because this is where only club room/suites guests can go to lah
so more privacy! yay!
loving every minute in the hotel!
okay I know you're probably screaming "how much??? HOW MUCHHHHHH?!!!" already
for the club room (cheaper than the club suite obviously, duh!) it's MYR850 per night, inclusive of taxes and all the benefits
wayyyyy cheaper than MBS, which is around MYR1500
you're welcome.
