Village Hotel Changi

Village Hotel Changi: A Relaxing Staycation with Exceptional Room Service (4/5 Stars) Rating Breakdown: • Room: 4.5/5 (Spacious, comfortable, and a wonderful bathtub – a real highlight for me!) • Service: 4/5 (Exceptional room service; check-in communication less smooth) • Amenities: 3.5/5 (Lack of Netflix/YouTube on TV; difficulty reaching hotel services via room phone) • Overall: 4/5 Stars Donkey and I recently enjoyed a staycation at Village Hotel Changi, and it was a delightful surprise, especially for me! Finding a hotel room with a bathtub these days is a rare treat, and we both thoroughly enjoyed relaxing in it. The room itself was spacious and comfortable, providing ample space for us both. The absolute highlight of our stay was the exceptional friendliness of the room service staff. On level 7, a staff member went above and beyond, offering us extra coffee and creamer, and even asking if we needed anything else. This level of service truly elevated our stay. However, the check-in process was a bit less smooth. Communication with the front desk staff proved challenging, possibly due to a language barrier. Additionally, the lack of Netflix or YouTube connectivity on the TV was disappointing, as this is a feature we've come to expect from most hotels. Finally, contacting hotel services via the room phone proved difficult; our calls went unanswered both morning and night, until we tried using the bathroom phone instead. Despite these minor drawbacks, the spacious room, the fantastic bathtub (a personal favorite of mine!), and the incredibly friendly room service staff made our staycation memorable. We would recommend Village Hotel Changi, particularly to those who appreciate a relaxing bath and excellent service.

This would be our second or third time staying at this hotel this year in 2025. The hotel is still wonderful as ever! Checkin process is smooth when its not crowded, the two pools are amazing especially the roof top pool. Once can just hideaway there late evenings and unwind. The rooms are wonderful as well. Aladdin Negm at front desk made our checkin process smooth and he was very friendly, smiling, professional and tried his best to cater to my special requests. Thank you so much! We will be back!

This spacious comfortable Hotel has excellent amenities and offers free shuttle to and from Changi airport. The Hotel service is excellent and courteous and a private lounge with food and beverage is offered for a reasonable upgrade. The Hotel is situated near to a small village with shops and restaurants and close to a lovely park and beach within easy walking distance. The infinity pool on the top level of this hotel is a lovely peaceful place to relax and to watch the planes flying into Changi!

Nice hotel for a stop over at the airport. Lovely rooftop pool area. The staff are very friendly and helpful, especially Seri who looked after us. Good options for buying tropical fruit and eating streetside a few minutes walk away.

To sum up, I had a very pleasant experience. The location, staff, room, and breakfast was outstanding. The room was clean, spacious and well-equipped. The amenities like pool and breakfast buffet really made the stay even better. It is far from the city and offers a peaceful and calming place to stay. It is near to the beach and also surrounded by the local food stores and convenient stores too. Looking forward to staying here again!

I opted to stay here because of its proximity to Changi Airport. A shuttle bus is available with limited hours to operate to and from the airport which is free of charge and convenient. Some of the staff were very friendly and courteous, even offering to call me a taxi to the airport and even gave me access to the gym room to freshen up after my flight since my room wasn't ready. I found it very interesting that the phone operator referred to the hotel's shuttle bus driver by telling me to "Keep a look out for the Indian guy". Instead of just describing the bus or telling me to keep a look out for the signage on the bus. The room was very standard but there was mould on the bathroom ceiling, and also an empty minibar which I thought was interesting for a 4 star hotel. The infinity pool seems impressive and the gym is one of the best gyms I've seen in a hotel with lots of new equipment and very clean. Proximity-wise, this hotel is naturally far off from the city, however, it is close to a hawker centre which is perfect if you're after some local delicacies and have a one night layover. Finally, the hotel also has a banquets area, and a bar which I didn't use but seemed okay. There is a complementary refreshment station with some water and biscuits which I thought was very nice given Singapore's heat and humidity. In terms of value for money, I think it is slightly overpriced by regional standards but by Singapore standards, it is on the more affordable end of the spectrum if you're after that one-night layover. Thank you to the staff for making my stay comfortable. Regards, Nilesh Bartlett

It was a pleasant stay at Village Hotel Changi. Both check in and out was hassle free. Location is good for those who wishes to have a room w sea view, if you manage to get it, for those wanting to stay near to Pulau Ubin and for those who prefers somewhere a lil bit far from city, but still convenient enough as there's so many eateries nearby. However no bottled water is provided as the hotel emphasises in Singapore's tap water is clean, so they only gave you a mini flask for you to fill up your own water, from yes, the toilet, or you boiling your own water. Other than that, all is good. 🎉

Very happy with the experience. Went for a staycay to celebrate Mother's and Son's birthday. Was pleasantly surprised to got an upgrade without additional request. Family enjoyed the buffet dinner too at hotel. Nearby hawker food was good too and only a walk away to tao bao.

The new restaurant on the 8th floor, Atelier, has the most delicious food in an elegant yet extremely friendly setting. Fabulous views as well.

I selected this hotel due to proximity to the airport. The location is great. You can walk to several nearby restaurants & is close to Changi airport. Ambiance: At initial glance, the lobby and facade is clean. It's a typical business hotel with a vibe that supports that theme. It appears more modern than it is. Once you're past the initial impressions from pictures it's pretty dated. The hallways and room had a weird smell. Our room smelled like a combination of paint and used up air. The windows don't open and there's no ventilation or air movement. I initially became nauseous from it. The hallway is dark and also smells like no fresh air has entered in a long time. The worst smell tho was in the gym. I don't even know how to describe it. It wasn't BO. Or maybe not just BO. But it was pretty awful. Service: Most of the staff was friendly, however, we were definitely treated second-class to customers who appeared in business attire vs our leisure attire. Perhaps it was just our luck or coincident, but it certainly felt that way. Shuttle: I had emailed the address on the hotels website to inquire about transportation from the airport. I used the email and name I had used to book the room, provided flight number & other details. The reply said that there was a shuttle, at no charge, but without knowing at which hotel I am staying, it would not be possible to confirm if the shuttle is included, or any more details about the service. I wasn't aware that I had emailed a general support email, for a hotel part of a chain. It should not matter tho, if all necessarily info is included in the inquiry. IMO. We ended up taking a Grab (similar to Lyft/Uber). At check-in we were told about the details of the shuttle service. It runs every 60min starting at 6am (not sure when it stops) from the hotel to Terminal 2. It would have been pretty easy to write that in the email response.

On the first half of my trip to Singapore I wanted to stay close to the airport since I would be leaving to Bali, two days later. This hotel was about 10 minutes from Changi and was a hidden gem. It was well kept, quiet and the location was great. I had business lounge access and the breakfast everyday was very good! The servers were all super nice and it was a great addition to be able to eat outdoors. They have two pools and two restaurants. I personally enjoyed my stay and would stay again!

The hotel is not well managed. It is in poor condition. The hallways are not well ventilated or even air conditioned. The internet is very difficult to connect to and is not fast. It is definitely not worth the price they are asking for per night. My phone, refrigerator, and air condition are all not working in my room....... Do yourself a favor and get a different hotel for your stay. After I have complained to the front desk, they have still yet resolved any of the problems. Very incompetent engineering staff. It's no wonder why the hotel is falling apart.

Great place to stay close by the airport. Easy access to the Pulau Ubin ferry, Changi bike path, and the hotel stay includes an hour free bike rental each day. Book an executive room for access to the free happy hour, breakfast and 2pcs of laundry each day.

My fiancée stayed here just for 1 night since we had an early flight back home the next day. The place is conveniently located near the airport; roughly 15-20 min depending on what time you go. The staff was friendly and the lobby was well kept. The room we had was so so. The pros: large room, comfy bed, and the offer you a smart phone for use outside the hotel. The cons: no view whatsoever, lights would turn on by themselves, and there was some mold in the bathroom. We aren't sure if we'd stay here again, and the type of room we had we won't say that all of them are like that. However, if your looking for something cheaper and close to the airport, than you may want to check them out.

We stayed here for one night on our way back to the US. I chose this hotel based on its close location to the hawker center and Changi Village. The hotel's shuttle service is not convenient to get to the hotel and back to the airport - I suggest you take a cab. The fare to the airport was $14. The rooms are run down and tired, and unfortunately, I found a blood spot on the mattress cover that they just covered up with a bed sheet instead of changing the whole darn thing. On the plus side, they do have a laundry room with washers and dryers and free detergent.

Great town in Singapore to come to and relax, chill-out and enjoy the East and beach. Singapore's not well known for its beaches - but here you get to experience the scenery, breeze and eat great local food. There's Changi Village Food Centre, Changi Village Hotel, and a great amount of food centres and coffee shops present in the area. There are pubs and bars too. The area has a nice sleepy town feel, so it's not commercial and its got a nice slow vibe - as compared to all the other commercial haunts all over Singapore.

I always put my folks up here when they come to Singapore. The rooms are spacious though there was once an ANTS problem by the window but they were prompt to shift our room & get it all sorted out. The poolside deck is great for a quiet evening of lounging. The food scene next to the Hotel is equally amazing. Whether it's the legendary Nasi Lemak to be had at Mizzy's or International Nasi Lemak at the Changi Village Hawker Centre or it's the famous Chicken Chop Hor Fun ... This place is a foodie's paradise. The Beach is a short 5 minute walk away & the Changi Coastal Boardwalk is amazing in the evenings... For food that is a bit more on the pricey but yummy side - you can walk over to Jubilee or the Coastal Settlement for some amazing Western snacks or for some quiet teatime chit chat (gets crowded at dinner times)...! Changi Village is peaceful & exactly the kind of place where you can have a quiet time away from the hustle & bustle of Singapore's CBD. The only disadvantage of living at this hotel is that it's ratherfar away from the heart of the city but it's great if you want a quieter & more home away from home vibe!

Its not as grand as the infinity pool at MBS but its certainly memorable. The view is great - it overlooks the sea and there is a ledge at the edge of the infinity pool which allows you to lie down and just sun tan whilst being covered by the water. There's also a heated jacuzzi, so its fun to come up here at night and chill in the warm water whilst looking at the night sky. As the area is devoid of lighted, high-rise buildings, you can see the constellations quite clearly on a non-cloudy day.

Few bathroom supplies (just shower gel and shampoo, no moisturizer, only 3-4 Qtips). Nice place for overnighting after a missed connection

Very nice hotel for the price. Good location for local food and shopping as well as good location for the airport. Staff is very friendly and informative. Ask for Ridzuan. He was by far the best employee at the establishment. Very friendly and gave much advice to where to go!

This hotel is located at one end of Singapore, at the eastern area. You may think why choose a hotel that is in the neighborhood and so far away from the more famous tourist attraction that is located in the central area of Singapore. But Changi Village Hotel is actually very near to Changi Airport and just opposite is the Changi Beach. Taking a bumboat from the Changi Jetty opposite the hotel and you will reach Pulau Ubin Island for a nature trip or cycling around the island. Judging from above, the hotel is definitely a place for a staycation for Singaporean and for tourist who would consider visiting Pulau Ubin. Furthermore, the hotel provide free pickup to and fro Changi Airport. We got an early check in from the reception and service is professional. High standard of security as you will only be given access to the floor you stay and the facilities floors. There is a swimming pool at the top level overseeing Changi. Rooms are good as suitable for couple for honeymoon. Very relaxing place away from the city. Food are easily accessible as the hotel provide good restaurants. More selections are available with Changi Village Food Market within walking distance. Alot of coffee shops, bars and restaurant are also available.

I have mixed feelings about Changi Village. On the one hand, the location is great, in a nice quiet neighborhood with tons of restaurants and a very large hawker center right next door. On the other hand, it's not quite as close to the airport as I had expected. It took 20 minutes to get there from the airport on a Friday at mid-afternoon. It did only take about 15 minutes before dawn on Saturday morning, though, so that wasn't too bad. In general, I thought the hotel was nicely decorated and comfortable. The rooftop infinity pool is great for a swim, although there aren't a ton of lounge chairs - and they are very close to the pool, so it's a little splashy. My room was also nicely decorated and well appointed, with laminate wood flooring, a nice large bathroom, and a huge closet where you could hide your suitcase away. However, the bed was extremely hard and uncomfortable (and I like a firm mattress), and the water in the shower was cold in the pre-dawn hours. As my room faced the hotel atrium, there was also a lot of noise from kids running around, etc. I would definitely ask for a non-atrium facing room if you stay here. Overall, if you need a place to stay on a layover that's near the airport and lets you still experience the great Singapore food culture without going into the city, this is probably as good as you'll do. I only wish that the beds were more comfy!

I first visited Changi Village almost 50 years ago and surprisingly it hasn't changed much at all. I could almost close my eyes and see the old Royal Navy types having a beer or two at the local bars, black and yellow taxi cabs and Kampong villages. Really a charming old school Singapore place so different from the new Singapore.
