ibis budget Singapore Clarke Quay Staycation Review: Superior Room

by - May 30, 2022


Hey, Faithfuls! My blog post on ibis budget Singapore Selegie did really well and many people have been asking about the staycation on my YouTube channel, so when ibis asked if I wanted to have another staycation with them, I said yes! The hotel we were staying at this time was ibis budget Singapore Clarke Quay, and the theme was 'Urban Sports'. As part of ibis budget Singapore Clarke Quay's Urban Sports Staycation Package, we were also able to experience breakfast at Fangko and a 3-hour bicycle rental at City Scoot for two adults.

ibis budget Singapore Clarke Quay is located just opposite Clarke Quay central, and its location is really good because there are so many food and entertainment spots around. It's also just a 5-minute walk from the Clarke Quay MRT station. The building is also not easy to miss as it sports its signature yellow facade.

We were lucky that we requested an early check-in because there were so many guests coming in that day, specifically backpackers. The lobby was filled with luggage. Our room was ready when we arrived, so my friend Penny and I were able to check in an hour before the normal check-in time. Check-in was swift, and we headed up to our rooms on the rooftop level.

Our Superior Room With 2 Single Beds was quite spacious and two people could comfortably live there for a few days. It was also really tidy and clean.

A big plus was that our room faced the rooftop swimming pool. This made our room look a lot more 'open' and made for great people-watching opportunities!

The room amenities included cable TV, a small desk, a stand to put your luggage, and a safe.

There were also coffee and tea-making facilities, as well as some refreshments and energy drinks!

The bathroom was spacious enough for one person but did not have a separate wet and dry area. I usually don't like bathroom layouts like this because the whole place gets soaked after someone takes a shower, but fortunately for us, our room was quite cold so the floor dried up pretty fast. You also have all the basic amenities like toothbrushes, toothpaste, towels, shampoo, and body soap.

After settling down, we went to check out the rest of the place. We came across the gym, which was located right at the entrance to the rooftop pool. The gym is tiny and you could fit only two people in there, but I really liked the view. Also, a small gym means you technically get the whole place to yourself if you come alone because I don't think anyone would be comfortable sharing such an intimate space with another stranger!

After hitting the gym, we went to the rooftop swimming pool. The rooftop pool faced Clarke Quay Central and a few other buildings. There was also a sitting area where you could hang around with your friends, but no suntanning chairs.

It rained very heavily on the first day, so we had to postpone our cycling activity to the next day. As mentioned before, this Urban Sports Staycation Package also entitled us to a 3-hour bicycle rental at City Scoot. City Scoot is located about a 10-minute walk from the hotel, and they have a lot of different bicycle options for you to choose from. I'm really short, so I was able to get a bicycle that was comfortable for my short legs! I also love how some bicycles came in this pretty turquoise colour.

We cycled around the area and managed to go all the way to Raffles Place to run some errands, and then come back. The bicycles worked well and we could put all of the groceries we bought into their baskets.

The staycation package also lets you enjoy breakfast at Fangko, which is a restaurant on the property. You can place your order via the machines outside or just head inside to order, but since we wanted to claim our free breakfast, we approached the staff at the counter instead.

Fangko serves authentic Indonesian cuisine and coffee. For breakfast, the options were either a Western Breakfast, French Toast, Fangko Noodles, or Authentic Nasi Lemak with coffee or tea. I thought the food was slightly expensive although delicious - especially the Nasi Lemak! In fact, we didn't just go there for breakfast, but for dinner as well. The ambience at Fangko was very relaxing as well, so my friend and I spent a lot of time just chilling and talking.


We always enjoy our stays with ibis, and this time was no exception! I loved the cosy room, the location, the service, the facilities, and the food. Also, the bike riding was so fun and I enjoyed having a sunny day out with my friend around Singapore.

The ibis budget Singapore Clarke Quay Urban Sports Staycation Package is priced at $222.45 and is valid for a stay period until 30 June 2022. Get booking now - you'll enjoy it as much as I did. See you next post!
