We're staying at The
Village Hotel, Changi (free shuttle bus) which is almost level with the
threshold of 20R. You need floors 5 to 7, although some 5th floor rooms
have trees in the way. I'm in 513 which has a queen-sized bed and
can see arrivals on both runways, useful in the early hours because
currently (5 a.m.) everything is landing on 20L. There is also a
rooftop pool and bar. Although the food menu didn't particularly appeal to
us, happy hour lasts all day for beers etc, and there are also loads
of places to eat just along the road, including one called 'the food
court' which was excellent, and from where you can still see arrivals on
20L. Departures can't be
seen although some double back and fly over the hotel at around 10000
feet. Wifi is fairly strong
and certainly more stable than our Bangkok hotel, and rooms have kettles
and fridges.
