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!
