The Royal Peacock Hotel

I stayed in hotel for a week after I came back from Jakarta. This is because of my flatmates' relative came to visit them. Anyway, they paid for the hotel. ;)

So I spent the night in the Royal Peacock Hotel for four days and in Quality Hotel for two days.

Quality Hotel is a nice, clean, and quite cheap hotel in Balestier area. Probably because of the location is a bit far from MRT station, although there are quite some buses go to City Hall, Bugis, Orchard, and HarbourFront areas passing Balestier Road. Balestier Road has quite a lot of hotels and I think most of them may be categorized as a dirty hotel, if you know what I mean. There is also a famous Ba Kut Teh shop if you go further down along the Balestier Road. But because the Quality Hotel is just like a typical hotel, I will not put any photos in this blog.

The Royal Peacock Hotel is a budget boutique hotel located in Keong Saik Road, Chinatown. The former shop-houses turned hotel is using a Chinese theme as its concept. The ambiance is quite warm. The room that I occupied is not bad considering it is an attic. Unfortunately my room does not have any windows and uses yellow neon lights. So it is a bit dim for me, but hey... maybe that's the concept of the hotel to create the warm-like atmosphere. There is one important thing that I need to complain about the room though. The wall is thin. I can hear people talking at the other side of the room. Overall, the hotel design is interesting.

I had my breakfast here for four days. The food is not bad considering this is a budget hotel.
