Hotels near Downtown East in Singapore

Check-in and check-out breeze. 👍 Since school holidays over, it's quiet. We had great time together. Room is clean and spacious. Our room is on 2nd floor but we can still see the sea from inside. All walking distance to eateries, mall, waterpark and beach. 🥰👍

The place was a little old but good. It was very close to the hawker, very accessible to the bus. Good place if you want to relax, walking distance to the beach. Walking distance to the port if you want to go to the island pulau ubin.

Terrible Staycay at The Bus Collective! Had a terrible stay at The Bus Collective! Despite the enticing media coverage of this unique bus-themed resort in Changi and my initial enthusiasm to support their sustainability efforts, $500+ one-night stay turned out to be a major disappointment. My child, celebrating his 4th birthday, burst out in tears as he was harshly scolded and threatened by Michael Gan, (from WTS) claimed to be the representative of the resort owner. During a harmless play where my child was pretending to be an 'emcee' on a stage platform, Michael Gan abruptly approached, ordering my child to get down immediately, citing safety concerns and even threatening police involvement, 'the police will come and catch you'. While safety reminders are appreciated, his aggressive tone and stern reprimand were unacceptable. When I sought an explanation, Michael, accompanied by the resort manager, arrogantly defended his actions, a father of 4 children claiming it was a common comment, he finds there is nothing wrong and even suggesting it was my fault for allowing my child on the platform. The overall experience was emotionally jarring, and the resort's management disappointed. Despite the appealing bus-themed interior, it lacked cleanliness, with visible dust and dirt particulary at the interior driving seat area. Fire access way blocked by unauthorised parking at the resort. The exterior posed safety hazards, with rainwater underneath the buses potentially breeding mosquitoes, pebble stones as walkways, and inadequate lighting for night safety. Additionally, the lack of high fencing raised concerns about safety, especially with the presence of intoxicated individuals near the public playground. Considering the price tag, opting for a hotel staycation seems more worthwhile, especially to avoid the subpar customer service experienced at The Bus Collective at Changi. In summary, this resort is not child-friendly, and the customer service was abysmal. I regret my decision and won't consider returning.

Go here only if you are able-bodied and able to climb stairs, looking to escape humanity and don't mind the lack of facilities or having to take a shuttle bus to get anywhere, including the nearest place with shops, Changi Village. As other reviewers online have said, it is quite a walk to your room. This would have been fine with me if the lift hadn't been down for our first day (before we arrived, there was a hotelwide power cut), so we had to climb 2 flights of stairs to get to our room from level 3. To get to the pool (at Civil Service Club Changi I, pictured) or Pasir Ris MRT, you need to take the shuttle bus too. As this is an events and conference hotel, the conference hall just behind the lobby has constant drilling all day while backdrops are being set up, making the lobby not so relaxing to sit in. Our room had a mini-fridge and was quite big, amenities inside were fine, with the usual dental kits, shower caps, soap, and the Nespresso machine was an interesting addition. The hotel restuarant White Olive is expensive for the area and seems quite desolate and empty after breakfast though it is manned. The breakfast buffet there was good though, just that the coffee machine runs out of coffee by 915am and staff do not check on this even though breakfast is from 7am to 10am. There is a chef cooking fried eggs. Proximity to Changi Boardwalk was interesting. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this to the disabled or elderly, or people who want a happening stay. This hotel is for people who just want to escape the city.

This must be my fourth time having a staycation at this hotel with my mum. The location is the best if you're looking to stay near the airport and Jewel. It's not too far and only requires a short walk and/or the skytrain to get around. We also find it convenient to return to the hotel whenever we feel a bit tired. As always, Crowne Plaza has been great in service and room amenities. Though it would be good if the pillows were not too flat 😅 The pillows just flattens out the moment you use it. Overall, we had a great time! Will definitely come again if we have the opportunity to do so.

Front desk staff was friendly and gave me a couple of extra water bottles for free. The rooms are as advertised, small but clean and has a simple bathroom. I checked in the evening before my morning flight out of Singapore and would recommend it to people looking for a good budget airport hotel.

There are two good things about this hotel, it is in the best location inside the Changi Jewel, and the WiFi is very fast. Other than these, it is an overpriced room with its interior decor looks pretty much like a lovers hourly hotel room. It is very small, and I mean tiny.

The location is excellent. Staff is helpful. The room is spacious. Cleanliness of the room is ok although the bathroom needs improvements. The reason I gave a 3 stars is the corridor leading to the room was dirty on level two. Because my room is on a busy street side, it is noisy from the traffic. I imagine the rooms on the other would be OK.

Good hotel but room will be a bit smaller than you think. They only give body towels (no facial or hand towel) and do not have “do not disturb” sign

This was really one of the best hotels we stayed at for a weekend family staycation given the price! Location is so good! It’s in between City Square mall & Mustafa Center. So many eateries around as well. Waiting area lounge is also so comfy with water and an ice cream machine which my children love! 🥰 The room was a superior king sized one which had an office chair and a sofa seat too along with a large table and smaller one. Toilet was also decent with shower area and toilet has a built in bidet. We were also kindly given a birthday cake as I noted that it was my son’s belated birthday! 🎂 We were on the 19th floor and there was an ice bucket in our room as there’s an ice dispenser outside. The view was good too from our room. 😍 Amenities such as pool and gym are all on the 6th floor. We didn’t get breakfast this round but we would love to be back to try it the next round! 😊
