Experience of the stay
Starting around 2024, it became possible to use HafH coins at overseas hotels, and although I felt some anxiety about being able to stay using coins just like in Japan, I made a reservation. However, that anxiety was resolved upon check-in.
I arrived at the hotel just before noon, and they let me check in immediately.
Since HafH offers a lounge access plan, I tried making a reservation with that plan.
Originally, my purpose in Singapore was more to enjoy hotel life than sightseeing, so this hotel was perfect.
It is located about a 5-minute walk from City Hall on the North-South Line, and with some effort, you can also reach the Merlion and Marina Bay Sands.
The room on the floor with lounge access was spacious and comfortable, and with favorable weather, I could relax by the pool, enjoy light snacks in the lounge, and in the evening time, had some drinks (alcohol is expensive in Singapore, so this was helpful) and had a great time.
Experiences during the trip
Singapore is very hot during the day, so I started my activities in the evening. My activities mainly centered around walking around the hotel for sightseeing and meals.
I went to see the Merlion and enjoyed the Garden Rhapsody at Gardens by the Bay.
For meals, I had Hainanese chicken rice from Tian Tian Hainanese Chicken Rice, Bak Kut Teh from Song Fa Bak Kut Teh, and sate and beer from a hawker center. This combination is the best for the hot nights in Singapore.
While Song Fa Bak Kut Teh is famous at Clarke Quay and often has long lines around the shop, everyone was sweating while waiting. After a 10-minute walk, there is also a Chinatown location for the same shop.
This location is in a commercial facility on the first floor, so you will have to line up similarly, but it has air conditioning making it comfortable. If you really want to go to Song Fa Bak Kut Teh, this location is recommended.
Also, Tian Tian Hainanese Chicken Rice (at Maxwell Food Centre), famous for chicken rice, is nearby, so if you’re confident in your appetite, it might be good to try both.
