Way overpriced, unhelpful staff, would never stay at this hotel agian

We decided to check into a hotel instead of hanging around Changi airport for 6-7 hrs, the hotel provided an early check-In and allowed the kids to have a swim on one of their two pools to wear the self out prior to the 8hr flight back to AUS. The hotel is showing its age and needs some refurbishment income on areas, however for the price you can't complain!

The hotel has plenty of amenities right in Changi village and large shopping centres 5 minutes taxi ride away. The airport is roughly 10 min taxi ride away of $10 SD

For a short stay short stay this hotel is perfect and the concierge is extrelmely helpful with where to go and timing between destinations

The hotel offers good deals via varioutravel websites

This is a great hotel if you want to be away from the bustle of the city. The hotel has a free airport shuttle to which you can connect to the downtown inter rail service, it is fast and inexpensive. The food in the hotel is of high quality but pricey, there are small stall areas around the hotel to eat but very little western food. The hotel is by a beautiful park area that is very walkable. For a cooler it has a wonderful roof top swimming pool. The staff are very helpful and try to resolve your travel needs.

I stay here for stopovers on my way to Australia and will stay again if the rooftop pool is not going to be closed. There's an hourly free shuttle bus: leaves the airport at 30 mins past the hour (go to Transport desk for details), leaves the hotel on the hour.
Some things to know:
1. The rooftop pool has a good view, if you don't look behind you at the ducting system which could easily be screened if they bothered. The pool is often closed when booked for private functions (locals like to get married next to the pool) so check before you book if the pool is important to you. There is a ground floor pool also but it has a glass wall, hence diners get an underwater view of the swimmers: OK if you don't mind being watched but not me. You can stay after checkout and use the pool if you have a late flight.
2. Get a 'bumboat' nearby to pulau ubin (10-minute ride) and rent a bike and cycle round the island, which is a nature reserve. A good way to enjoy some exercise between long flights.
3. Local shopping is market-stall quality, OK for cheap stuff, but this is not a place for a good shopping stopover.
4.The hotel food's mediocre and the restaurant staff hurry you if you arrive within an hour before closing time: closing time means the time they go home, not last orders. It's better to eat at one of the many local restaurants, such as a good one just across the road from the hotel, in the Civil Service Club, which has Chinese & Thai food.
5. If you want internet, book a deluxe room: it was a bit cheaper than booking a standard and paying extra for internet. The rooms are the same anyway.
