I’ve always been quite lucky at lucky draw, be it at work, events or games at radio stations. In 2013, I won a free staycation at Village Hotel Katong after participating in a radio station’s roadshow game. And the game was about guessing song titles in the shortest time the song was played. Somehow, I had such luck (grin)!!
Village Hotel Katong is located along Marine Parade road in the Katong district. Because of its geographical location, the hotel’s decor is strongly influenced by the Peranakan heritage. It is also a stone’s throw away (ok maybe slightly more than that) from Parkway Parade and eateries across the road.
We enjoyed a night stay at the Superior room. The room was brightly lit and spacious. Prints on the carpets and tiles in the toilet gives a Peranakan vibe to it. I remember we were offered an upgrade to a room with bathtub at $50. I declined it because I was not intending to spend on the room! I wanted to keep it at $0! haha!
The hotel also has a well-equipped gym and swimming pool at level 4. I remembered jumping into the pool and feeling super cold, my body kind of went into the frozen mode and hubby had to lift me out! Maybe it’s cause we were near the sea?
There is also a mall below the hotel. There was a convenience shop and some eateries, not very exciting to be honest. The row of eateries opposite the hotel certainly had alot more options!
