The Gurney Bay Hotel is located at Gurney Drive, just opposite the Gurney Bay Park. Gurney Paragon Mall and Gurney Plaza are both easily accessible on foot from the hotel. The gurney hawker center is also within walking distance. We arrived at the hotel at approximately 4.45pm, and my partner made a last-minute booking through Agoda.com, which required us to wait at least an hour for the hotel to obtain confirmation from Agoda.

I suppose that's how my migraine started, due to the heat and lack of air conditioning sitting on the side. We ordered a cinnamon roll and a slice of burnt cheesecake. The cinnamon roll tastes good. It's soft and fluffy. On the other hand, the burnt cheesecake is creamy and rich, similar to a thick custard, but we couldn't finish the cheesecake because it was too filling.
