Very special lodging in old busses - don't miss!
Pros:

Very special lodging in old busses. Very nice. Very good location close to the airport.

Cons:

Unfortunately for brakfast only cash or local credit cards are accepted - not helpful for tourists just arrived in Singapore. But there is a nice cosy breakfast café nearby (Italian flair)

Pros:

Very nice concept. My son loved it. Near to changi village and beach - just right beside. Rooms are clean and well done up.

Cons:

A little bit odd to charge a substantial amount more for parking - a bit of a budget airline add-on mentality to what's a generally beautiful property and surrounds. Interesting management decision - might be worth building it into the rate so it creates a more coherent vibe

Pros:

The bus for a room idea was great, the kids had a ball, and the adults found a lot of yummy food nearby! However, apart from small matters at the end of the day, overall the service was great, and we had a great stay!

Cons:

It would be nice to have a small play area/play ground/ pool for the little ones too, in the pics it looked like there was a lot of open area for play, but that wasnt quite the case when we got there, and there dint seem too much to do outside the bus for them... one more thing that was a little sore point was us was the parking charges for not only the guest, but also visitors... i mean after we pay so much for the room, is it really necesary to charge for parking within the facility?

Buscation in Changi
Pros:

All of the bus experience and near to hawker centre for food. Kids had a blast and family friendly.

Staff was very friendly and cleaners too.

Cons:

The entrance is around the bend and drivers keeps missing. Maybe add a sign and extra light before entrance?

Breakfast was ok, better at the hawkers.

Some parts of the bus are quite dusty especially at the front.

Pathways to room has rubble to had to carry bags.

Maybe a laundry room in the future.

Fun staycaytion
Pros:

Location is good. There's exit for us to go to Changi Hakwer Centre to buy food and drinks.
The bbq service is good, the cleanliness of the bbq is acceptable. Good customer service by the front desk. Free flow of coffee but have to walk a bit to the front desk to get it. Toilets are clean, bathtub are clean. Just tat there's like no separation of wet and dry in the room as the bathtub is situated in the room. Maybe can have a separation as water tends to flow out and wet the carpet when the kids play in it. Other than tat its a good experience staying in a revamped SBS bus. Kids love it, playing driver at the driver seat. It an experience like none other.

Cons:

The cloth of the shelter outside the bus was torn and they didn't change it before we check it. It didn't bother me much as luckily it was not raining the night we did bbq. It rained the morning after and the deck chair and table got wet. imagine if it rained at night when we are bbq-ing. All will be wet.

Pros:

It's very good for travellers on a short trip, close to the airport. You can hear the planes taking off/landing. There's a local food court next door, accessible through the side gate with the hotel key card.
Mini marts, ATM machine, etc. It's very exciting for kids because it's an actual bus, with all the buttons and turnable steering! The pullout single bed-chair is not a good idea, it's too thin, but the mattresses were comfortable. Decent space for a bathroom and a separate toilet with a sink. Lots of counter space for things. But it's suitable for 2 luggage bags, and not more, quite narrow and can't have anything more than 2 luggage open at any one time. Nice table and chairs outside on a patio. Barbecue pit available for a reasonable price, which can be purchased with a booking. Thick curtains on windows for privacy. Friendly staff. Coffee/tea machine at reception, easily accessible. Free water bottles available at the room and the reception.

Cons:

A bad smell was coming from the toilet, like it was from a manhole. It was quite overwhelming and we couldn't do anything about it. Staff mentioned that it's an ongoing problem and they've not been able to solve it. It's quite unpleasant to open the toilet door and get such a horrible stench. No room slippers.

Es war eine nette Erfahrung, aber aufgrund des recht hohen Preises und der Lage würden wir es wahrscheinlich nicht mehr
Pros:

Besonderer Vibe in einem Bus zu schlafen, gute Ausstattung, nachdem man als Backpacker unterwegs war und die letzte Nacht in der Nähe des Flughafens verbringen möchte. Ein guter, lokaler Hawker Centre fußläufig erreichbar.

Cons:

Es war nicht sehr sauber

Great theme stay, but signs of wear and tear..
Pros:

The bus theme, and the fact we are living in a bus, is very situated for family with young kids..

Cons:

The room that we stayed in wasn't very well maintained, there were some water seepage and towels had holes in them..
