Staycation - mOOn Hotel

Greetings All!! (:

Return to blog abt my staycation with lover boy 2 weekends ago!
Ive choose mOOn hotel this time round because of the pictures and I've heard a few comments/feedbacks abt it. So intended to give it a try! (:
However, it was rather disappointing, as the pictures and all doesnt turn out to be so wonderful as what we had in Wanderlust a year ago.

mOOn Hotel was located just a few blocks down Wanderlust Hotel.
And it was abt 10mins walk away from Bugis Station, which means tourists / visitors, you are able to walk to this station while looking ard at our streets! (:

They have a total of 80rooms which consist of different categories: Standard, Deluxe, Executive, Moonlight Suite. And guess which category did we choose in?

We have picked the Executive room, at first i was contemplating whether to choose the Deluxe, which comes with a long bath tub, but after much consideration, considering that we wont be staying in the hotel for a long time, we have decided to make do with normal bathrooms.


mOOn hotel was a little small hotel, but they still have their own mini reception area, as well as a mini cafe just like those normal hotels.

Their corridors are painted with neon green colors which brightens up our mood the min we stepped in.! (:

Spot the housekeeping over at the end, thats where our room is! (:

Welcome to my room of the day, -- Room 5-One-0!
This is a little unique, unlike other hotels, their rooms are usually in numbers instead of mixtures like this. (And its really easy to find the unit numbers hahah!)









A little platform, just like the ones we had in Wanderlust hahah!
Overall, the rooms are quite neat and tidy, or was it because, ive just entered the min the housekeeping lady was done! hahaha!

We choose the attic level, which means there is no curtains! )):
Its going to be really bright when the day comes.

Oh yes, did i mention, all Deluxe rooms has got no windows? And only some of the Executive Rooms comes with windows? hahah! Thats another reason why we picked Executive room.

A little self-shot for that day! LOL!

Top - Joop
Blazers - Vivi
Shorts - Cotton on

What you see below is their so called dressing table i guess?
But we used that as our mini table! LOL!
And we brushed our teeth here too (:

A view from the bathroom.
The min we enter the bathroom, we could smell this weird stench, not very nice.
But it wasnt so strong that we could smell it when we are in our room.
Could only smell it when u enter the bathroom thou.

Oh yes, their toilets are basically open concepts, they have blinds to cover from the outside world.
(See below for more pictures)

Yes! Rain shower! My Favourite!! =D
Okay, I guess now you knw what i meant by open concept! LOL!
There is no coverage from when your friends / partners are lying on the bed! LOL!
They could practically see what you are doing! LOL!




This is what you will see from the other side of the window! hahaha!

Our mini coffee area. Oh yes, all the drinks and coffee/ tea are free of charges.
And they too comes with an Iphone dock, which allows you to play music.

A view from our bed to the door (basically the walkway!) :)

Comes with a mini cushion, quite pretty and soft (:

This is what you see from the toilet hahah!
I took this shot, while standing on the toilet bowl! LOL!
What you see are the shop houses that are nearby, and also you could see Sim Lim Sq from afar! (:

Simple hotels like this also provides us with amenities like below.
Basic stuffs like Bathing Towels, Hand Towels, Toothbrush, Combs, and etc.
Like it when are all nicely packed! (:

Check out lover boy, playing with the iphone dock.

And me camwhoring after taking pictures hahaha!
Testing out their beds, their beds are quite comfy.
Or was it because im away from home i feel that beds are quite comfy lol!


Lover boy and I heading back home to feed that Tiger the cat! pffft!

Actually Im quite surprise when such small hotels could also come with sewing kits

And nail file, and even scrubs haah! Haven got a chance to use them, but i'll use them soon! LOL!
Because ive brought them home LOL!!

Bought this 2 cute toothbrush holders from mommy and myself. Only at SGD$1.00 each from Bugis Street!

Before Ive ended, all their room rates comes tgt with breakfast for the next day!
Even thou they do not have a lot of varieties to choose from, but they do have my favourites, waffles and pastries! (:

They do have yogurts and cornflakes for us too! (: And even salad and fruits (:

This marks the end of my staycation at mOOn Hotel!
I hope this is going to be helpful for all the visitors / tourists! (: 
If i have a choice, mOOn hotel would not be my choice again. Okay, or mayb I have high expectiation of the hotels or even Im too used to doing comparison to the one I had. 
But anyway, overall this is not a huge hotel, but still its good for people who likes to go for a staycation.

In fact, their ambiance is quite cozy, and comfy! (:
But the bad side of this hotel was because they do not have good customer service, because, when Ive requested for a late check out during my booking, they did not take that into factor. 
Apart from that, mOOn hotel, you serve me well.

Thank you! (:

Stay-cation at Festive Hotel Resort World


Time for a little update!
For the times I’ve been working, I’ve already been updating this little space of mine for at least 2 times! LOL! This apparently shows how bored am I at work!
At times like these, I just wish I could be like others so busy and doing things. Okay this is just the start aka honey moon period! More to come soon *Cross fingers*

 

Had a little stay-cation over at Festive Hotel @ Resorts World last weekend together with the boy’s ex colleagues!


And seriously I had lots of fun! Thou we spend quite a bit of time deciding what should we do/eat/play. But all was awesome!


Checked in and heading out for lunch at Ruyi. Curry chicken was their popular dish, but instead of that, I’ve tried their braised pork with egg and the boy had his BBQ pork rice. Taste wise was still alright. But I suppose it could be better! (:

 

Rested for a while and headed off to the beach! (:
The boys had their swim, the girls had their chit chat session, while I had my tanning.
Okay, thou it was only for a while, but I suppose its enough. Because there wasn’t much sun too! )): Headed back to the hotel for second round of relaxation at their jacuzzi pool.


Showered and head out for dinz at Ding Tai Fung! For the first time we had so many xlbs! LOL! 6 people and we ordered 4 baskets of 10 xlbs! Okay, even thou there’s only like 6 for each person, but its really a lot! Usually, I only had like 2 or 3 each! LOL!. Had a little walk ard after dinner, wanted to look for popcorn, but I couldn’t find. But something caught my eye – ONE FOR ONE ICE CREAM! Hahah!
Bought it to satisfy my sweet tooth! (:

 
Headed back to the room, for more card games and ended the night earlier than the rest! And checked out the next day!
Headed off to vivo for lunch and home sweet home, continue with the boy’s assignment which he was supposed to complete before this staycation!

Anyway, I wish more to come!
Somehow or rather, I yearn for a holiday with the boy soon! ):
Some where far from Singapore, I don’t mind going BKK but the boy hates it! LOL!

Staycation at WanderLust Hotel! (:

Had a wonderful staycation with baby yesterday! (:
Thou it was considered as a pre Valentines Day outing, and it only lasted for that few moments.
And decisions made was rather impromptu but everthing was awesome!
Okay from the reservation services to the rooms and to the brekkie and even to check out!
Everything was love! Definitely going to go back again and try out other boutique rooms they had!

Okay, just a sneak pics into the rooms! But sad thing is i forget to bring my camera!
So yea, sorry if the pictures are blur! ):

But before that, just a brief introduction on Wanderlust Hotel.

Wanderlust Hotel was a boutique hotel, with pretty rooms decorated in different kinds of rooms ranging from Pantone, Mono, Treehouse and even typewriter style, and of cus more to come! They are located super near bugis, like ard 10mins walk and you'll be able to reach there!
Complementary mini bars in the rooms are available as well as free wifi!

Because it was a super last min decision, there wasnt much rooms choices for us to choose from.
Therefore, we are only left with Pantone room which comes in 4 colors (Blue/Grey/Blue/Red).


Okay this was not the color that we chose! hahaha! We took GREY in the end! which looks smth like below.
I couldnt capture a super nice picture with my phone, so this shall be it (Anyway grab this picture from their website)! hahaha! (:

All of the rooms comes with a mini 'passport' for your stay! (:

Cam whore a little and lights out early! LOL! Boyf had too much OT for the past few days! and he needs a break! While he sleep, i cont with my show! =D

Headed down for brekkie in the morning! Yes free complementary brekkie too! =D
Fred not, for those who wanted to just hop in to have their brekkie there, you can too! If i never rmb wrongly, it shld cost ard $25 per person, comes with a set meal, cornflakes and drinks! =D


Check out their cute chairs at their bar areas!

I suppose every rooms comes with an iphone dock which comes with an alarm! (:
Boyf wanted to steal that home! LOL! And also, a mini coffee machine which comes with 3 different kinds of capsules for you to make your own coffee! (:

Okay will update this space real soon! (: Gonna grab all the pictures from boyf first! (:
Good Night peeps!
