Hotel Mono, Chinatown

Finally decided to try this hotel. It got a lot of press for its minimalist, monochrome theme when it first opened last year. Also, between the Maybank card discount and the Agoda credit just sitting there, I booked a single room for a one night stay.

By the time I left the airport (cos of the Wizarding World ground event), I only got there around 3 something. 

Getting there: Downtown line MRT from Expo to Chinatown. Exit A, then a 5 minute walk from there. Almost walked past it, too. You also walk past Porcelain Hotel on your way there. 

Location:

Checking in: Didn't even need to take out my Agoda confirmation, only passport. The person working the front desk was nice enough to bring me to the room.

Room: The only thing I requested was a quiet room. So I was brought to a room that was probably towards the back of the building. While there were two windows, but it was essentially a view of the adjacent block and the blackout shades worked a treat. 

Bed was ok. Linens looked clean. Pillows were a little weird for micro-gel pillows.
I did look under the bed and it had been cleaned.

Desk/headboard with the plug points and light switches accessible from the bed.

Bench/luggage rack/hangers (and hair dryer), room safe,
mini fridge and complimentary hot drink making area. 

Complimentary toiletries (which you know I sapu-ed). Rain shower. 

You know it's hipster AF when there's BROWN SUGAR provided for your hot drinks
(2-in-1 and Kopi-O Nescafe, English Breakfast and also Jasmine Green teas). 

Open air closet and hair dryer.
They should thank their stars I didn't sapu the hair dryer.

In room mini fridge

Sleep: Instead of just dumping everything and heading out again, I took a much needed shower and nap. Wasn't a deep nap, but enough to get me through the evening.

I slept okay, considering. Thankfully no new bed bug bites.
