The hype
Guests love the rooftop pool and hawker food access but consistently note the rooms feel 'tired' and 'dated' with a barracks-like vibe.
Village Hotel Changi By Far East Hospitality
$115-160 / nacht
Boek dit als You're an aviation geek, a nature lover heading to Pulau Ubin, or just need a chill layover spot far from the city's chaos.
Waarom mensen ervan houden
- Rooftop infinity pool with direct views of planes landing at Changi Airport
- Steps away from the legendary Changi Village Hawker Centre (foodie heaven)
- Free hourly shuttle to/from Changi Airport (T1, T2, T3)
Snel Overzicht: A slightly faded, retro-feeling retreat that trades modern luxury for killer plane views and some of the best local food in Singapore.
Beoordeeld door @Pbc968: I escaped the airport chaos to hang out at this rooftop infinity pool. The ocean breeze and quiet atmosphere were exactly what I needed to recharge between flights. It feels like a hidden resort, not a standard airport hotel.

Reality check
Cleanliness is hit-or-miss; recent 2025 reviews mention 'excellent housekeeping' alongside complaints of 'missed spots' and 'ants' in older rooms.
- You want to spot planes from an infinity pool
- You plan to take the bumboat to Pulau Ubin for a day trip
- You prefer a 'kampung' (village) pace over the city rush
Schoonmaak & Onderhoud
7
- Housekeeping: Generally responsive, but consistency varies. Some guests report 'missed spots' and dust.
- Bathroom hygiene: Functional but dated. Grout lines and corners show the building's age.
- Maintenance: Aging property. Expect some scuffs, worn carpets, and 'tired' furniture.
- Linens & towels: Standard hotel quality, usually clean but not luxurious.
- Odors & scents: Some rooms have a lingering musty smell due to the humidity and age.

“I would appreciate a high-floor room facing the sea/airport for the view. Please ensure it is NOT a connecting room to minimize noise. If available, a room with a balcony would be fantastic.”
Veelgestelde vragen & Verborgen tips
Alles wat je eigenlijk wilt weten voordat je boekt.
Is the airport shuttle free?
Yes, it's complimentary for guests, running roughly every 90 minutes. Check the latest schedule at the front desk as it's not 24/7.
Can I walk to the airport?
No, it's too far and not pedestrian-friendly. Take the free shuttle (15-20 mins) or a taxi.
Is breakfast included?
Not usually in the base rate. It costs around $30 SGD per person at The Blue Tiffin, but you're better off eating at the hawker centre for $5.
Is there a gym?
Yes, there is a decent gym on Level 5 with basic cardio and weight equipment.
Are there connecting rooms?
Yes, but they are notorious for noise leakage. Only book if you are a family taking both rooms.
Is the pool heated?
No, but in Singapore's tropical heat, you won't need it.

5 dingen die je moet weten voordat je gaat
💡The 'barracks' vibe isn't just a feeling; the hotel is built near old colonial military blocks, giving it a stark, institutional layout.
💡You can spot wild hornbills and parrots in the trees around the hotel in the early morning.
💡The 'Creek Pool' on the ground floor is often empty because everyone goes to the roof—but it's closing for renovation in March 2025.
💡Room service is available but pricey; the hawker centre is literally 2 minutes away and open late.
💡The 'Club Lounge' is a rare affordable upgrade that actually offers decent value with evening cocktails.
