Village Hotel Changi by Far East Hospitality

The hotel is over ten kilometers from the airport, and shuttle services have fixed times. There's no pick-up service after 10:45 PM. Taking a Grab from the airport costs around 200 units of local currency. Drop-off services are also only available at fixed times, so you should consider this if your flight schedule doesn't align. The hotel and its surroundings are quite nice. The rooms have a retro feel, and there's a lot of greenery outside; opening the window to lush foliage is very pleasant. Nearby are the famous Changi Village, a museum, and a hawker center, making it convenient for dining, learning about Singaporean history, and going to the beach. The beach is very close to Changi Airport, so you can constantly see planes flying in. Overall, the hotel's surroundings are great, but the service is much worse. First, regarding the shuttle service, you absolutely need to check if your timing falls within their service hours. If not, and you have to take a taxi, adding the taxi fare makes it almost as expensive as staying at an airport hotel, effectively negating any savings. Plus, the hotel bookings are non-cancellable, so once you book, you're committed. Secondly, the service itself. The hotel's description page mentioned 'Chinese guests preferred,' but during check-in and check-out, neither the staff who looked Chinese nor the Indian staff were friendly. Their attitudes were very cold and impatient, giving off a condescending vibe. I had originally wanted to ask about nearby attractions, but seeing their expressions, I just gave up.
