mandarin orchad
mandarinorchard has one of the best staycation locations if you want a place right smack in the middle of town, surrounded by endless shopping and dining options. It’s so great you’ll probably find yourself not spending much time in the room which is maybe a good thing?
Joke aside, this was a very decent stay. We got a nice discount on our two nighter here using . Those were the days where you could actually get your hands on a promo code and use it. These days? They’re out of stock almost immediately.
So we paid $150 for two nights in a deluxe room but because the hotel is going through a massive refurbishment of rooms, I’m not really sure which room we ended up in.
But it’s likely the 28sqm superior deluxe, with new carpets, a king sized bed, a proper working desk with a swivel chair, cable tv, and a refurbished bathroom.
Hey, you even get instant Nescafe coffee, and TWG tea here for a $100 room! It’s really not a bad place considering the price.
The air conditioning is old school style so you can control the temperature, and make it freezing if you want.
Checking in at 5pm was a good decision for me that day.. I didn’t have to wait at all for my room, and the hotel staff were friendly with lots of smiles.
For what it’s worth, it’s definitely not a five star hotel, nor “an icon of world-class Asian hospitality in Singapore”. The hotel felt like they were running on limited manpower, and I’ve heard many scary stories of how the check-in queues can get crazy during peak periods, but they try where they can.
Lets look out for more deals together! Even if we can’t fly, we can still have fun in Singapore.
