| Approaching Marina Bay Sands |
Having fun in the hotel room..
And we were not disappointed: The hotel was really nice. Having slept in rooms for a price of 5-14 dollars/night for the last couple of weeks we might not have been that hard to satisfy, but still I have to say that it was a lot better than imagined.

Our room faced the ocean, which gave us the chance to look at something else than just the concrete jungle of Singapore. I mean, there are a lot of impressive buildings here, but I think both of us preferred the relaxed nature of Tioman Island, where I got my divers license before we went to Singapore.
Nice and spacious bathroom
With that said, arriving at the upper floor of Marina Bay Sands and seeing the enormous pool with the city stretched out below our feet was truly amazing, and even better than I’d imagined. If we had had more nights at the hotel I’m sure we would have checked out the rooftop bars as well, but I guess that’ll have to wait for another occasion...

Another thing I can mention is that staying as a guest in the Marina Bay Sands felt somehow isolated from the rest of the city: the hotel has its own restaurants, shopping center and even entertainment such as casinos and musical shows within the hotel or right across the street. Of course it also had a huge gym with a lot of fancy exercise machines, and we ended up spending a couple of hours in the gym too. Since we did not have more than one night in the hotel we wanted to spend our time here, and not go too far for dinner. Unless you have a lot of money to spend on your dinner you should probably be a bit careful with where you decide to eat: most of the restaurants are way too expensive, at least for students like us travelling on a strict budget..

Anyway, I have no doubt when it comes to recommending this hotel if you are planning to spend some days in Singapore: it is a great experience even if your budget allows just one night.Basic Info
