Stayed at this hotel on 3 seperate occasions, and standards keep slipping.

First time: Dec 24-26 2004
Was very pleased with the sea-facing deluxe room with a balcony. Room was small (but the rooms here all are), furniture was new, and the balcony was fantastic. This was the time of the asian tsunami. Hotel was still managed by the Meridien chain then, and standards were pretty good.

Second time: mid-2005
Booked a room on the club floor, hoping to get a room similar to my last visit. Pleasantly surprised when given a large corner room, racing the greenery with sitting area.
Breakfast and tea at the club lounge was good too, as was the italian restaurant on the roof La Cantina.
Gym was wonderful too.
Vowed to return.

Third and last time: Dec 2005
Booked a club room again. Absolute disaster after hotel stopped being called Changi Meridien.

First, paid premium for club floor only to find out that the lounge was closed. Second, breakfast at the coffeehouse at the lobby was horrid, having no seats as the place was full of screaming kids and families. It made me wonder why i bothered to pay extra in the first place. Third, cocktails at the lounge downstairs were a joke. FInally, the room was just a standard room and I could see wear and tear.

When I complained to the manager at the end of my stay, he just shrugged his shoulders and told me to write in formally. What nonsense.

I will never stay there again.

I loved the rain shower. I have to get myself one of those! Decor wise, the room was OK. Trying to impart a cool vibe but only partly succeeding. And is it my imagination or are the beds a bit low to the floor? The breakfast buffet was average, the waitstaff disorganized. The biggest drawback, however, is location. Changi Village is way-out in the boondocks (relatively, this is Singapore, after all). Taxi to Orchard will easily cost you SGD20+ and I never saw the alleged complementary shuttle to the airport - from which you could, if you were so inclined, take the MRT to Orchard or wherever else in Singapore you want to go.

The only value to this hotel is its proximity to the international airport & easy access to the Loyang Industrial Area.
Service pretty lousy, front desk just about the worst I have encountered as a tourist or commercial traveller.

Now recovering from my second burst of camphylobacter. Both have been as a direct result of eating at the restaurant/ room service at this hotel.

Best advice - avoid both!

Recommend the Ming Clinic, Camden Medical Centre - close to Orchard Road on 62358166 for an efficient & effective solution. Taxi $ 20 from Changi Village, appointment not necessary.

On a recent trip from Sydney to Amsterdam, we decided to have a one night stop-over in Singapore to break the trip. Having done the same thing last year we wanted to do something a little different and as we only had the one night & not particularly interested in shopping, we chose to stay near the Airport.

Changi Village is just that. Small, mostly outdoor restaurants & small shops plus a giant food hall & markets. Very different to downtown Singapore.

The Changi Village Hotel was fine. We did not hear planes flying overhead at all. We had asked for a quiet room & that is what we got. The hotel is not 5 star but more than adequate. The room was a good size, clean & overlooked the golf course. We ate a buffet breakfast in the hotel and there was a good selection to choose from. We also organised a late check out (6pm) as we did not fly out till after 11pm. This cost us an extra $S80 but well worthwhile.

During our day in Changi we took a bum boat to the nearby island of Pulau Ubin. Not a lot there but you can hire bikes or just walk around the island which is not a bad idea given that you know you are going to spend 12 hours sitting on a plane after already sitting for 8 hours the previous day!

We ate at one of the outdoor restaurants. It was fine. There are a few up-market places if you prefer.

All in all a good place to stop off if you are looking for something a little bit different.
