Dorsett Changi City: Affordable Hotel Near Changi Airport?

ABBEY: If you’re looking for a comfortable and well-located hotel near Changi Airport, Dorsett Changi City Singapore is a fantastic option. Whether you’re in Singapore for a layover, business trip, or a quick getaway, this hotel offers a relaxing and convenient stay.

During our stay, we were provided with a clean and well-equipped room, complete with a kitchenette—a great feature for those who prefer some flexibility with their meals. The bathroom was spacious and modern, while the soft, pristine sheets and plush pillowsensured a restful night’s sleep.

Although we couldn’t take a dip in the outdoor pool due to the rain, we made the most of the sauna and steam room, which provided a relaxing retreat after a long day. These wellness amenities make Dorsett Changi City a great choice for travelers looking to unwind.

For dining options, guests can enjoy meals at the Cosmo Bar and Restaurant within the hotel. Alternatively, Changi City Point, a shopping mall with various restaurants and retail stores, is just a short walk away—perfect for those who want more choices.

One standout feature of Dorsett Changi City Singapore is its day-use option, ideal for travelers who need a short but comfortable stay. Guests can enjoy full access to the hotel’s amenities, making it a convenient choice for a quick rest or layover.

WILL: Looking for a hotel near Changi Airport? Many travelers visiting Singapore need a hotel close to the airport, whether for business trips, layovers, or short-term stays. While Changi Airport is about 30 minutes from Singapore’s main attractions by train, some visitors prefer to stay nearby for convenience.

If Crowne Plaza is fully booked or not within your budget, another great option is Dorsett Changi City (formerly Capri by Fraser, Changi City), which is just one train stop away from Changi Airport.

Why Stay at Dorsett Changi City? Dorsett Changi City is strategically located in Changi Business Park, a key hub for IT professionals and international banks. Unlike Singapore’s Central Business District (CBD), this area is quieter, making it ideal for business travelers and short-term guests.

During our stay, we had a twin room with a kitchenette—a pleasant surprise! The room included a complete set of plates and utensils, which made our stay more convenient. If you enjoy having basic kitchen facilities in a hotel, this is a great option.

A bonus feature was the tap water access, making it easy to refill bottles. 

The bathroom was clean, and the Elemis toiletries were a pleasant bonus—I honestly didn’t expect that kind of quality here.

I was particularly excited about the sauna—one of the reasons I booked this hotel. Unfortunately, it was not as hot as expected, which was a letdown. If you’re hoping for a proper spa-like sauna experience, this might not be it.

Aside from that, the hotel offers a well-equipped gym, pool and a business area but quieter than the Central Business District (CBD) location. 

Who Should Stay at Dorsett Changi City?

✅ Business Travelers – Close to Changi Business Park and well-connected by MRT.
✅ Layover Passengers – Just one train stop from Changi Airport.
✅ Staycation Seekers – Comfortable rooms with great amenities.
✅ Day-Use Guests – A great option for short stays before a flight.

Crowne Plaza Changi Airport -- Best Hotel at Terminal 3

ABBEY: We often drive past the Crowne Plaza Hotel on our way to the airport or Jewel, and I've always been curious about what it's like to stay there. So, when my sibling came to visit, we took the opportunity to check it out. 

Our check-in experience was smooth, even with a bit of a queue. As soon as we entered our room, we were welcomed by a cozy office space, followed by a comfortable bed. The room also featured a large TV with plenty of channels to keep us entertained and a small dining area for a quick meal.

One of the standout features of the room was the bathroom. It includes a shower, toilet, and a bathtub with a unique view overlooking the airport terminal, allowing you to watch the air traffic. While the view was fantastic, we did find that the Jewel wing, where our room was located, felt a bit too far from the lobby, pool, and restaurant. It gave off a slightly isolated vibe, which might not be for everyone. 

Overall, it was a memorable stay, especially with that captivating bathroom view, but the distance from some amenities is something to consider if you're planning a visit.

Crowne Plaza Changi Airport: The Best Hotel for Comfort and Convenience Near Terminal 3

Crowne Plaza Changi Airport: The Best Hotel for Comfort and Convenience Near Terminal 3

WILL: After a full day exploring Singapore’s iconic spots—Marina Bay Sands, Gardens by the Bay, Fullerton’s Mile Zero, and the Esplanade—we were ready for a break. But instead of heading straight to Jewel Changi, we made a quick pit stop. Abbey, being the expert planner, booked us a room at Crowne Plaza Changi Airport. It’s literally right next to Terminal 3—just an escalator ride away!

Now, let’s talk about the stay itself. The biggest perk? The location. If you’re traveling through Changi, this hotel couldn’t be easier to access. Whether you’re catching an early flight or have a long layover, the convenience of being so close to the airport is unbeatable.

The room layout was thoughtfully designed, making the most of the available space. There’s a functional office desk, which nicely separates the bed area from the rest of the room, offering a bit of privacy and structure. The bed, though, was the real highlight for us—extremely cozy and supportive, ensuring a restful night’s sleep after a long day of walking.

The bathtub! It’s perfect for a relaxing soak—although, heads up, the window might not give you all the privacy you expect. Their amenities have this super calming vibe, and I couldn’t help but feel like the hotel was encouraging us to de-stress before our next flight.

Kudos to Crowne Plaza Changi Airport—this is definitely a top choice for anyone in transit or just looking for a quick staycation. Oh, and did I mention they offer hourly rates? Super convenient, right?
