We were attended by a very friendly staff at the front desk for our check-in. Nice!!!

Amy asked for two single beds but we got a double bed instead...since it was just one night so we accepted it.

Quite spacious

View from toilet

Pardon me for the ugly pictures that I have took for the hotel room. The room was quite spacious and the air-con was strong enough.

my study table and free wifi...

The location of the hotel is very convenient. We didn't even have to take a taxi out for food. In less than 10 minutes walk, we reached Changi Village Road where Chock Full of Beans is, further down is the Changi Village Hawker Centre. Besides that, the Hotel also provides free shuttle services to Changi Airport, Far East Plaza too.

We bought food from Changi Village Hawker Centre back to the Hotel to have our own "buffet" dinner.

Sambal Stingray

Hokkien Mee

Black Carrot Cake

Satay

Halfway through our dinner, we saw some cosplay characters taking photo. Interesting...

The next day, we had our complimentary breakfast at Saltwater Café. The spread of buffet also includes the salad, fruits, fruit juice, nasi lemak, plain porridge, the "egg" corner where I ordered sunny side up for myself.

I really enjoyed my staycation at Village Hotel Changi.

Red Haired Jacq

Started our day with hair treatment at my favourite saloon, Cardinal. I came here at least twice a month. It is my one-stop shop for "maintenance"...hahaha

I came here mostly for hair treatment and to fix my fake eye lashes and occassionally to do my gelish nails. It is around S$50 for a good treatment and S$40 for fixing my eye lashes.

They are opened as early as 8.30am and closed 9.00pm. See the customers Q-ing outside...no scare no scare...they are very fast in 'clearing' the crowd de, Especially if you are just having a haircut.

They don't practice one staff one customer...whoever is free will do your hair de...but I like cos its faster this way.

The services they offered...

My new hair colour

Today, I came to touch up the colour of my hair and do my gelish nails. Halfway through the touching up, I saw one of the staff with purple hair, made me also felt like changing my boring hair colour. But as I did not want to bleach my hair, I could only do the purple colour treatment. Although it turned out to be more red colour than purple, I still like cos I love changes...no changes made me a boring person...

Arteastiq Tea Loung @ Mandarin Gallery

Bought a deal "Breakfast for 2 pax @ Arteastiq" from Groupon. We paid S$45 for 2 pax (worth S$75).

Its not valid on Sat and Sun from 12pm ~ 5pm oh and reservation via SMS. So we made our reservation at 9.30am on a Saturday.

When we reached there, we are attended by a friendly staff. He showed us the way to our seats. The décor of the restaurant is nice...not crowded at all, I think we were their second customer of the day.
