hangout@mt emily

readers..pardon me as this is a pretty overdue post to be..
..it was during my visit down to spore back in Jan.

not quite sure whats going on in spore as each weekends most hotels are fully booked and getting a room in spore is not as easy as it used to be.you need to pre-booked like 3 weeks in advance and that also you are not entitled to a good deal on the room rates.over the short one year period, there has been an upsurge of 30% on the hotel room rates..oh boy..crazy sporean..the kiasuism has not killed them but spreading like an epidermic in the Hospitality side...*Sporean readers: Pardon me for being so discourteously blunt *

as usual making my regular visit down to spore for meetings..call up the hotels a week before my meeting schedule and as predicted and expected no rooms even hotels that charged up to SGD 300++ per night!What the heck!As i was browsin through i managed to find this place Hangout @ mt emily

decent looking place, reasonable priced and best of all the whole ikea lookin concept..bingo this is it!so made my booking through online..their website http://www.hangouthotels.com/

is one place that is well kept secret about..why?.to my amazed most sporean don't even know the existence of this place from what i gather through my converstation with my sporean dealers and customers ..



the place is cozy, the staffs are really friendly and nice too..the only draw backs of the place 1. no tv in the rooms (they have a shared community tv in level 2 where the hang out place is) 2. there is no broadband nor wireless connection in the room (the pc and internet is at level 2 as well, is FOC and 24 hours surfing)

breakfast is provided and the have great view of spore being on the hill top and there is a great park opposite the place..the mt emily park.

sure yes my next and future stay will be at hangout @ my emily.

oh yea..even if you do not stay at the hangout, is still a good place to dine and chill out..they have a great restaurant downstairs wild rocket at mount emily..awarded as one of spore best restaurant 2006..owned and run by Willin Low who is a lawyer-turned cook..so check it out the next time you head down to spore..if this is not convincing enought, check it out at their website www.wildrocket.com.sg... if you just want to drink and chill out check out the next door wild oats bars on the hill (WO). Great set up in colonial mansion surrounded by the garden and greens..
