With cross-border travel at a standstill, what better way to relive the carefree days of travelling than to go on a staycation? If you’re getting ready for your next hotel stay, here are some tricks to make the best of your visit.

Bummed out that you’re done using your S$100 SingapoRediscovers vouchers (SRV)? We’ve got a surprise hidden within this article to lift your spirits. Read till the end - you don’t want to miss it!

Leave a glass of water by the bed

Does your skin and throat feel dry whenever you visit a hotel? The air in hotel rooms tends to be dry as the aircon (or heater, in cold countries) is usually turned on for extensive periods of time. The easiest way to work around this is to fill a glass with water and leave it around the room. Like a humidifier, the glass of water adds moisture to the air.

Block out light with the clips on hangers

If you’re a light sleeper, or if you have OCD, you would’ve noticed the gap between curtains at most hotels. Need a hand getting rid of the awkward gap between curtains for more privacy, or a good night’s rest?

A genius traveller came up with the idea of using the clips on hangers provided to close the gap. Unsightly? Yes. Does it get the job done? You bet. Some travellers have also shared that they bring binder clips on their holiday for the same purpose.

Charge your phone with the TV

Going on holiday is fun until that feeling of forgetting to bring something becomes a reality. It’s beyond us if you forgot your wallet. But if you forgot to take your wall charger along with you, here’s a trick: Most TVs come with a USB port at the back, so all you need to do is plug your charging cable in.

Alternatively, you can check with the Front Desk if they have a spare set of charger. They usually have plenty as most guests leave theirs behind.

Use the ironing board as a table

Most rooms come with tables but chances are they aren’t adjustable. If you wish to work or eat in comfort, substitute the ironing board as a table. Not only can you adjust the height of your new table, you can also move it to any corner of the room you fancy. This is especially great for children during meal times.
