Not sure why you are asking this point, as applies to all hotels and brands. Typically whether booking standard/superior/deluxe room type etc, within each room bracket you usually see different bed types eg a)deluxe room twin beds b)deluxe room queen bed d)deluxe room king bed e)deluxe room + in some countries a smoking/non-smoking room set per roomtype.

Usually if you expand a plain 'deluxe room' it will say something along the lines
'Deluxe Room Type Allocated on arrival, your bed and smoking preferences can not be guaranteed'.

I always choose rooms 'Bed Type' I want at booking time if available, but if only my non-preferred 'bed type' showing I choose deluxe and hope I get the non-showing other room beds type at checkin time

I think I get it now. So the difference is with 1 KING BED DELUXE NONSMOKING and DELUXE ROOM is with the former, you get the exact type of room requested while the latter you get EITHER double or king bed (whichever iis available) correct?

Dave Noble

Yes.. plus if it doesn't say non smoking, could be a smoking room

If you have the opportunity to select the specific room / bed type that you want, book that one

Now the first issue is resolved, I haven't recieved a response to these two:

-I read on the hotel website that I can be escorted from the jetbridge to the hotel desk. Does anyone recommend that?

-How are the dining options in the hotel? I would really love a good meal at the hotel.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers

My oh my, why would you want to at at a hotel, when there are tons of options maybe 5 mins away?
The hotel is connected to the terminal I would rather escort myself, its not like a 3rd world country like Cambodia, where I would like to be escorted from the plane to the immigration and into a waiting car.

Getting to the Hotel.....
it is literally a 5 minute (or less) walk from terminal 3 customs to the hotel front door! No need for escort service.

Read tripadvisor ... I am giving you the direct link for CP Changi reviews below

CP is inside Airport, you can , I believe use restaurants in airport because of this, although CP Changi has good restraunts too.

How is the buffet? I might want to give it a try.

Probably expensive compared to what's nearby, I am heading there in a few weeks and will be checking out the staff canteens at the airport that are essentially hawker centres http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/singa...i-airport.html

I suggest eating at Staff Canteen Terminal 2.

Ate there a number of times when my boss happens to head there for lunch. Lots of variety I must say, do try the Hokkien Prawn Mee.

I'm actually considering eating at the food court before I check-in. Any idea if they have local cuisine like prawn mee, satay, roti, Bubur cha cha, etc? I remember I had Char kway teow last time I was there. I wish I had more food though.

lcpteck

Can't really remember, if I happen to be in Changi Airport will take a look. Which terminals are you considering to eat at the food court? I may not have time to scout all 3 terminals haha...

maortega15

I think it was Terminal 3.

Sorry if this is a foolish question, but is this a transit hotel similar to the Ambassador where you can avoid immigration/customs? Have just a 9 hour layover.

Jaimito Cartero

No, not a transit hotel.

Thank you!
