My Free Hotel Stay in Singapore | Hotel G

After my first time staying in a local hotel in YotelAir, Changi Airport Jewel in Feb, I am redeeming SingapoRediscover $100 vouchers for another free stay in a local hotel.

This time it is at Hotel G situated at 200 Middle Road, which is near Rochor, Bugis and Bencoolen MRT. It is a 3.5 to 4 stars Boutique hotel sporting an unorthodox mashup of industrial, vintage and Bohemian elements.

The hotel is quite unique as its ground level has Ginette Restaurant & Wine bar and the 25 Degree Burger eatery. 

I managed to book a room on Sat for exactly $100 so no further cash outlay is required. 

Check-in time is at 3pm but there was a long queue at the restaurant & bar area when we reach there. Since it is a free staycation sponsored by the government for Singaporeans to bailout the tourism industry, I am not surprised by the queue.

The hotel lobby is located at level 2 where there is another queue. 

After 1 hour of queuing, we managed to get the card key to our room. No complaints since this is a purely free staycation. 

Upon opening the door, we were greeted by a small cosy room, with dream catchers above a queen bed.

From the window view, Fortune centre, Bugis+ and NAFA are within sight.

After settling down and lazing around in the room, time for a tour around Jalan Besar area, getting to appreciate those pre-war colonial times buildings. 

Spotted many dim sum restaurants in that area but the frugal self in me prompted me to go find hawker food. So we checked out Berseh hawker, one that I have never been to before. Found many local delicacies but did not manage to find any cheap food though.

In the end, we decided to go back to Bugis area for Albert Food Centre to takeaway cheap cai png back to hotel. 

My humble $2.80 vegetarian dinner.

The following day, woke up late at 10am and missed the booked gym session at 7am.

Headed to Rochor Original Beancurd shop nearby to pack some beancurd and soya drink for breakfast.

That sums up the 20 hour staycation as checkout time is at 12pm. After having WFH for the past few weeks, it is a great experience to live out of a bag for 20 hours in another room in the city. Most importantly, for free!

This is not a sponsored post but merely documenting my experience of a free staycation during a health pandemic period.

Thanks for reading. As always, stay safe and remain positive. 

With love and peace,
