Village Hotel Changi

Finally found the focus to get back to complete this old post that I started by left it dangling at the start. This is my first review of those hotels that I used for my CD escapades and Village Hotel Changi by Far East Hospitality is one of my favorite till to date. I will explain why later in this article.

Village Hotel Changi is located 1 Netheravon Rd, Singapore 508502. This is in the East side of the Singapore island. The Check-in is usually at 2:00pm and the Checkout timing is at 12:00pm the next day. The price of this hotel varies but the range is around $150++ to $200++ (as of 2024). You can find out more about this hotel using this link here. 

Village Hotel Changi has the Superior Room and the Deluxe Room and quite a few other options, but usually I will just go for the Superior Room if I want to do a CD escapade. Unless I am hosting a bigger group or sharing with another fellow CD. If not, I feel that the Superior Room is cozy enough for me.

What I like most about this hotel is the layout and accessibility of the hotel lifts. The lifts are located in a centralized location and it can access not only from the hotel lobby to the various floors but also to the basement carparks as well. For me, as someone who drives and having to lug a suitcase of CD stuff when I go for my CD escapades, the accessibility of the lifts is very important.  

For my modus operandi, I will usually check into the hotel in my guy mode with a small backpack of personal guy items, once I got my room card key and also parking coupon from the counter, I will proceed straight to check out my hotel room and its location from the lift. Once I settled into the room, I would go to the Basement carpark to bring my luggage of CD stash that I packed up from my car boot to the hotel room to begin my CD session.  

If you drive to this hotel, you will need to drive and park in the basement carpark first. Before you got the Card Key, you can only get from basement carpark to the hotel lobby in Level 1. However, once you got the Card Key, you can access from the basement carpark to straight to the level where your room is situated. This is what I what I loved about this hotel.

For those CDs who wished to dress out, you can see where this is leading to. You can CD in the hotel room and take a lift down to the basement carpark with minimum interaction with other people and drive out for a CD dress out session easily. Coming back is equally easy since you got the Card Key to go straight to your level.

In terms of cleanliness and ambience of this hotel, the rooms are quite clean and the surrounding ambience is nice. There is even a rooftop swimming pool and chill area. This is why so far, this has been my go to hotel for my CD escapades.
