Moon 23 Hotel is located at 23 Dickson Rd, Singapore 209507
Located at Dickson Road, the nearest MRT to get to the place is from Little India MRT. There is quite a walk from the train station to the hotel, about a good 10 minutes walk. Since I have never been to this place yet alone Dickson Road before, I was lost and it took me a good 20 minutes to reach there.
The hotel is located near to Mustafa Centre, so those who would like to explore the 24 hour shopping centre or have a late night crave for snacks are in luck as the hotel is close to a 5 minutes walk from Mustafa Centre.
Upon reaching the hotel, the reception area was easily spotted. To our right there was a breakfast buffet line and tables and chairs for guests to sit on.

There weren’t any problems checking in and in less than 10 minutes, I had the key to my room! Yay!
Okay, I know most people blogs about the Moonlight Suite when staying in Moon 23, however, when I stayed in the hotel, I did not even know of the suite let alone know there’s a freaking outdoor jacuzzi. So due to a very last minute booking and the lack of money (yes, everyone, I paid for the room with my own hard earn money), I booked the Standard Room.
When I entered my room, I was very disappointed with what I got. The room was small. Like meant for a mice kind of small. Alright, I exaggerated a bit, but hey! The room was really small. For the Standard Room, the square area is 16 sq.m and I got a queen bed. There was barely any space to walk. Take 3 steps and you would reach the bed. 1 step from the door and it’s the toilet.

I didn’t manage to take any photos of the room but this photo from TripAdvisor perfectly depicts the Standard Room size. I think my house master bedroom is bigger than this room. There wasn’t even a window in the room! The curtains are there to make it look as if there’s a window but nah, no windows at all.
Trust me, this room isn’t for people who are claustrophobic.
When I booked the room, I didn’t opt for the breakfast. Needless to say, all I did was to go out and buy food, come back to the room, watch shitty cable channels, find food and sleep.
I checked out the next day and that’s the end of my staycation. Albeit quite an unpleasant one, but I did manage to relax and have my own ‘me’ time. Would I come back? Only to try out their Moonlight Suite but for the other rooms? Nopes.
