Our family spent one night on the bus with a king bed and twin bunkbeds. Both adults and our teen/tween loved the experience. We bought nasi lemak from the hawker center we could see from the premises and had a tranquil and lovely time sitting on the private patio outside our bus at dusk. We have to commend their attention to lighting options that give a relaxing feeling (or brighter lights should travelers prefer). The string lights on the patio were a nice touch. The spacious separated sleeping areas gave both kids and adults a sense of privacy and "alone time" which we appreciated. The bedding/mattresses were comfortable and the air conditioner in each section kept the bus cold and comfortable. We also loved that the toilet and shower room were separate. The staff were helpful and very sweet. We also loved the chill atmosphere of the Changi Village area and enjoyed biking there and watching locals fish. We wished we could have stayed one more night to make the ferry ride to one of the islands. We were sad to leave and look forward to staying there again.

The Bus Collective located at 5 Telok Paku Rd, Singapore 508883 Booked the The Bus Collective staycation for my girl who celebrating her birthday and she requested fot a 1 night stay. The location was also super convenient, especially being right next to Changi Village Hawker Centre, making it easy to grab good local food anytime. Our bus was located just beside the Halal Thai Food restaurant and during evening times is super packed and busy. Initial we worried about the exhaust smoke and noise but surprisingly nothing affected. It have been more than 2 years+ since they are open. I would said toilet is clean and it was located outside our Bus. At 1st we thought will be inconvenient or outsider might open and use the toilet but no one use it except us. When we check in, we are only given 3 bath towel, 3 bottles water so I text and informed receptionist and immediately they send someone to pass us 1 more towel. I would said their services is fantastic and fast on responding. The lady at the check in area was really pleasant and courteous. I can't recall her name should Mina, Rina( sorry if I have given the wrong name) .....initially we are worried about the cleanliness but toilet are really clean, the towels are really looking torn, old and bed sheet was found some torn etc.....maybe good to check and change it out. Bed have some crawling insect like ants etc....we went to purchase baby towel as we worry crawling ants when we are sleeping. Good to bring a slipper as toilet are wets etc inconvenient to wear shoes during bath or entering the toilet so I strongly suggest you guys to bring slipper or disposable slipper. Do plan activities if you are staying in unless you just want to snag on the bed login to your youtube or Netflix watching movie etc.....as there is really nothing to do inside the bus 🚌. I would said is an experience for my children and not me ....suggest to change some menu of BBQ package as it look pricey with not much food and I walk around all buses and no one doing BBQ....thank you for the great experience

We had a really enjoyable stay at The Bus Collective, especially with our two furkids. It was a fun and unique experience, and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Pet-friendliness is definitely one of the biggest plus points! The BBQ and facilities were good, and overall we had a great time. There are a few areas that could be improved, especially the cleanliness and condition of some items, such as a pillowcase with holes. The location was also a little less convenient for us because we’re from the other end of Singapore! 🤣 Personally, I wasn’t a fan of the round bed! Next time, I’d definitely choose the king-size bed instead! Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back again!

Room 208 - Lovely n cozy. The only complaint I had was that bathroom tiles are quite slippery when wet so be extra careful. My boy loved the big bathtub and had lots of fun at the driver's seat.
