What Do Others Say
oXRYSTALo OngFebruary 27, 2025 The Bus Collective: A Unique and Quirky Staycation Experience (4/5 Stars) Rating: • Concept & Design: 5/5 (Unique and charming, with a perfect blend of vintage buses and lush tropical landscaping) • Rooms: 4/5 (Spacious, modern, and well-designed, featuring luxurious touches like a round bed and freestanding bathtub) • Amenities & Services: 4/5 (Private sheltered area with BBQ pit, friendly and helpful staff; however, limited parking and breakfast options are on the pricier side) • Location: 3.5/5 (Quiet and peaceful, but limited attractions in immediate vicinity; rental bikes would be a great addition for exploring the area) Overall: 4/5 Donkey and I were looking for a special place to celebrate his birthday, and we decided on a staycation at The Bus Collective, a unique hotel located in Changi Village, Singapore. It's the first hotel in Southeast Asia built from repurposed public buses, offering a truly one-of-a-kind experience. We were immediately impressed by the hotel's charming contrast: vintage buses nestled within a lush, tropical landscape. The neatly manicured lawns and shaded patio areas created a tranquil and inviting atmosphere. When we entered our bus room, we were amazed by the spacious and modern interior. The minimalist design scheme, featuring neutral tones and clean lines, created a feeling of sophisticated comfort. The round bed and freestanding bathtub were particularly luxurious touches that added to the unique and romantic feel of the room. I especially loved the bathtub, which was sparkling clean and felt brand new. I also adored the round bed, which we both found very romantic. The living room area was well-spread and well-organized, and we were very impressed with the bathroom and toilet area, which were separate, clean, and well-stocked with amenities. The hotel's attention to detail is truly impressive. We especially loved the private sheltered area just outside our bus, complete with a BBQ pit. It's a great way to enjoy the outdoors and create a truly unique experience. We considered using the BBQ pit, but the BBQ package for two was $70, which I felt was a bit pricey. Instead, we decided to head to Changi Village to pick up some delicious nasi lemak and sugar cane, which we enjoyed in our private sheltered area. It was a lovely, relaxing, and authentic way to experience the local flavors. I also booked the breakfast set, which isn't included in the room rate. Donkey had the American breakfast with coffee, while I chose the Tuna croissant with coffee. While the food was good, we found the breakfast to be a little expensive, so we recommend exploring other breakfast options in Changi Village if you are looking for cheaper breakfast options. If you're looking for a unique and fun staycation experience, The Bus Collective is a great option. The hotel is quiet and peaceful, making it perfect for a romantic getaway or a celebration with friends. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the attention to detail is commendable. The only downside is that parking is limited, and you might have to park at the Changi Village car park and walk a short distance to the hotel. One suggestion for The Bus Collective would be to offer rental bicycles for guests who want to explore the area. Besides the nearby Changi Beach, Seagrill Les restaurant, Changi Hawker Centre, and coffee shops, there isn't much else to do in the immediate vicinity. Rental bikes would allow guests to easily explore the surrounding area and enjoy the beautiful scenery. Overall, we had a memorable and enjoyable stay at The Bus Collective. The hotel's unique concept, well-maintained rooms, and tranquil atmosphere make it a great choice for anyone looking for something different. We are giving The Bus Collective a 4-star rating. It's a unique and fun hotel with a lot to offer, but the parking situation and pricier breakfast options are things to keep in mind. Rental bikes would be a great addition.

Trip.com MemberFebruary 22, 2025 Good locationGood services JudeFebruary 20, 2025 New hotel not known to taxi drivers. Not far from Changi Airport, the concept is very cool sleeping in a bus converted to a room. Worth the money, seamless check in and out. James ValleFebruary 19, 2025 Good place to relax and unwind. Will definitely book the next time will visit SG. Dominic ChinFebruary 6, 2025 Being a bus fan, this was definitely an experience that I needed to try. As a whole, it was a great experience but it loses a star for the upkeep of the place. Being a pretty new hotel, there were some things that were in poor condition. For my room, there was one side of the LED curtain lights that were not working properly and was constantly blinking. The room smelt nice but the toilet had a foul smell. The light for the tent outside my room was not working either. Small insects like ants and even a spider was seen inside the bus but this was to be expected considering the location of each bus. Service wise everything else was good. They have a restaurant that is open air but it did not appeal to me nor did I see anyone in the restaurant. It was a very peaceful and nice place to relax, however we couldn’t find any bicycles late at night. Amenities wise it’s more than sufficient. Overall, I would recommend this place if you can get it at a discount but not at the full price.Google rating score: 4.4 of 5, based on 118 reviews
