In October, I traveled to Singapore together with my husband, my son, and my parents. It was a trip sponsored by my husband's company as a retention program for their employees who are still with them for five years and more.
The hotel that the company HR had chosen was Hotel G. This is located at 200 Middle Road, Bugis, Singapore. The HR gave us the options for the room, Good Room with a queen-sized bed, Good Room with a king bed, and Great Room with a king-sized bed and a mini fridge. As the hotel made a note that the good room with a king-sized bed is best for those with one child, we decided to get that.
I usually read reviews online so I have an idea of what to expect from this room. In the review I read, the author was quite satisfied with the room so I was excited to see it in person.
It was past ten in the evening when we arrived at the hotel lobby. I will create a separate review about the hotel's customer service, its amenities, and the rest. For now, let's just talk about the good room. We stayed here for four nights.

For those who prefer watching a video instead, I also uploaded a video via three speak.
Perhaps because we have a toddler, the front desk gave us the access card first. We reached our room easily, my parents' room was also just next to ours so it was easy for us to get in touch with each other as they are seniors.
As soon as I entered the room, I immediately concluded that this has a very tiny space indeed but I'll share with you how they made it really efficient!
On my left is the comfort room with frosted glass doors. I always had a great time having a shower under their Grohe rain shower, warm shower is my favorite especially after a full day of walking outside! The sink is located outside the comfort room which looks odd but it was actually fine after several days of using it. Opposite the comfort room is a hanging steel rack with wooden hangers. A huge full-body mirror is also there which somehow makes the room wider.

I was really amazed that the tap water in Singapore is drinkable! I did try drinking it and it doesn't taste like the water here in the Philippines. Toiletries were provided like a shower cap, dental kit, and vanity kit, and their soap and shampoo are labeled METIS, an Australian luxury brand. I am glad they give soap refills every day!
Under the sink is a storage area where they placed some other face towels. And next to the sink is another mirror, under it was the blower, the slippers provided, and a laundry bag, this one is for sale if one wants to bring it.
Moving on, just behind the shower area is a study table with a comfortable chair. There's a trash bin under it and a flashlight too which charges as it is placed on its base.
On the table is a tissue box, the telephone, and two floating shelves with a water heater, two mugs, two boxed of water, some instant coffee sachets, and tea as well. There are electrical outlets here too and they were already universal so that really was helpful because we didn't bring a universal adaptor! However, they have limited outlets so it was a good idea that we brought our own extension wire.
Although the space is small, it was enough for our two laptops, however, only one can use it at a time. There's a cork board too with all the information about the room as well as those room regulations and directories.
Now comes the bed, as I mentioned, it's a small room but the hotel did a good job of making the most out of the space. This is a king-sized bed and it's definitely comfortable! There's a space between the bed and the window and there's a dream catcher around the hanging light bulb.
Now, under the bed, they have a space intended for the luggage. This looks narrow but I was able to fit two of our luggage. There's also a switch available for the light here and besides, it is a safety box that my little one played with so we were not able to use it as it got locked out on our first night!
There's no view for this room. We can only see the next building so we had it closed most of the time. There are picture frames too on the wall and they were very interesting art!
There's also a 32-inch LG television and it has the name of the guest on the screen with a welcome note! Very thoughtful of them!
We loved the channel which showcases the things around Singapore as it gave us ideas on where to go and what's worth visiting. Well, the country is not big so most of the tourist attractions are really easy to navigate but the channel also shares a lot of history about this place as well as the people living there just like the Indians and Arabs!
One of the things that we enjoy while in this room was the comfortable bed. They provided four pillows which were more than enough for us. My little one had a good sleep every single night and would wake up at around eight or nine in the morning which somehow had been a problem because we always get to tourist spots late but it's okay, that's really how life with a baby goes.
This room costs Php 7,145.13 for double occupancy. Php 6,669.29 for single occupancy.
Their queen bed costs less at Php 6,192.21 for single occupancy while it’s Php 6,679.44 for double. For the great room, it was worth Php 7,623.22 and Php 8,099.25 respectively.
It is definitely expensive for me but since it's paid for by the company, we were really blessed! My parents however had to pay for the four-night stay but they surely love the breakfast buffet that comes with the room. I will talk about that in a separate blog!
