Hotel Mi Rochor

Now that I know that the same company owns a lot of the usual suspect hotel brands in Singapore, yeah, it totally makes sense.

Only went with this one because of the location (close enough to stadium) and because there was a 25% off opening promo which was a touch cheaper than other places on the usual OTA sites (because of the "six nights of Coldplay" factor)? 

Getting there: I thought I was gonna be in it for a long ass MRT ride, until I figured out that I just needed to ride the train to Bugis and change over to the DT line that way. It's not that far off one of the Rochor MRT station exits, but not exactly steps off like on Bencoolen St. I could still make my way around.

Checking in: Because there were other people, it still took them a bit to notice me standing there, mostly curious to find out if I could check in a little earlier (I got there before 2 p.m.,; had a stupid early lunch at the airport before leaving because didn't want to be hangry). They only asked for passport and because it was direct booking, had to pay for it on the spot. 

Room: Can't complain, it's not too bad. Urban Skincare Co. shower gel and shampoo in huge bottles bolted to the walls, but everything else was up for grabs. Didn't grab the slippers this time. 

Yeah, the sink is seperate from the bathroom/toilet.
There is also a seperate tap for people to fill their water bottles/kettle

Pretty familiar if you've been to the other one

Bed was okay, might be a little too high off the ground for some people

To say this was cosy is an understatement

No idea all this was under the sink until I asked the cleaning crew in the hallway

In room safe was in a drawer - not large enough for a laptop,
I would think, but I did use it to stash the passport

Other facilities: Pool on the 5th floor was okay, if not for the guy who couldn't wait to clean it in the middle of the day. The jets were a nice touch. 

There was a couple of 7-Elevens nearby: one right downstairs, and other across the tiny road where the Ibis is. They're both tiny though, so wouldn't put hopes up. 

Sleep: Slept in blocks, basically. In spite of how tired I was at the end of the night, the light from the mirror glowed on and my dumb ass forgot to pack an sleep mask. Bed was comfy, if nothing else. 

Not sure if I would come back, it was just okay.
