Chuffin marvelous.

Just been online to book me overnighter at Changi Airport's transit hotel, and a big f$ck off message appeared:

"WARNING -THERE IS EXTENSIVE BANGING AND DRILLING DAY AND NIGHT DUE TO RENOVATIONS AT THE AIRPORT UNTIL LATE 2006."

Anyone experienced a sleepless night at the hotel due to this??

We've booked a room there for 12 hours on our way out next month, but I can tell you now it will take more than a bulldozer to wake me up!

This warning has been issued for at least the past three years. I've stayed there many times (but not in the past 6 months) and only once was there any work that was audible and it wasn't a problem to me. (They've still not replaced the cracked basin in the room we usually get though!) The notice appears to be purely to cover them in case - which makes it such a blanket statement that it isn't much help. You could email to find out which terminal they are doing work in at the moment: it's very quick and easy to nip along on the mini monorail to the other terminal hotel if that's likely to be quieter.

We stayed there at the end of March, didn't hear a thing from our room - dont know how busy the hotel was but they obviously try to put guests as far away from the noise as possible.

We went for a walk around the airport at about 2.00 am though (jetlag!) and the building work was really noisy in the airport terminal itself.

We stayed there in June this year. I was concerned when I got the message re building works but we didn't hear a thing. Definately worth staying there to refresh ourselves for the next leg of the journey. Will stay there again.

Didn't hear a thing when we stayed in July

I just phoned the airport, and they said it's worse in Terminal 2 than Terminal 1.

Guess what - we're coming into Terminal 2 - TYPICAL!!

Were all you who didn't hear any noise staying at Terminal 1??

Wendy

I stayed in T1 as they said T2 was full.

Try e-mailling them and see if they'll change you to T1, it's not that far on the shuttlebus
