The Bus Collective

Everything was convenient Exp- foods Near to beach Rent bicycle Take a walk along

The office close early at 9pm. I do understand for the operation hour but sometimes if that moment the guest has difficulty happen, then to whom should we asked for

Proximity to all the amenity

meest bijzondere kamer waar ik ooit heb geslapen. alles was schoon en mooi

in de omgeving wel een goede food-markt, verder ligt het verblijf op een redelijk afgelegen terrein

This is such a fun glamping-like experience for families. The bus is so fun and my girls loved that it was pink and girly. The drivers seat is so fun. The layout of the bus is excellent too with bunk beds, a double bed and a large toilet with separate shower. Reasonable distance to change airport with local shops walking distance The reception are really good at communicating, really friendly and even moved out things into our bus while we were out exploring I would wholeheartedly recommend the bus collective.

This didn’t really impact our stay but The outside table needs mending & cleaning. While it was really lovely landscaped, the outdoors didn’t meet the cleanliness of the inside as the bus exterior was dirty, and there was some rubbish on the floor like an area full of carrier bags.

Unique environment and nice to stay. Location is superb, lots of food options.

The location and unique features. Children love it.

For the price we are paying, we expect a cleaner room. Overall still acceptable but with a little more attention to cleaning, It will even better. The toilet tap was shaky and needs to handle carefully,

Over hyped bus stays, may be my expectations were too high and niche

Circular bed sucks with my legs hanging out

The location was great and is nearby to hawker centres as well as the beach.

Price was abit on a higher side for locals even for just 1 night.

Fun for the kids and got an authentic local experience from the hawker center next door.

Although it’s located next to the airport it’s still a 30+ min Grab/Taxi ride

Love that the location is right next to The Changi Village

I suppose a latch on the door on the inside will be good. The main door is closed, it is automatically locked so no one outside can enter. However it is never locked from the inside. A gentle nudge on the handle and push will open the door from the inside meaning toddlers can let themselves out on their own easily. Slightly anxious when i need to shower and use toilet when toddlers are in the room. I was the only adult. Other than that, I love the bus and everything else. So clean and so nice.

Just different vibe

Location a bit out but also peaceful

Quiet and good for relaxation. Near to Changi Village food centre. Not suitable for big family gatherings or celebrations.

Nil but can be quite bored if stays more than 1 night.

Very special lodging in old busses. Very nice. Very good location close to the airport.

Unfortunately for brakfast only cash or local credit cards are accepted - not helpful for tourists just arrived in Singapore. But there is a nice cosy breakfast café nearby (Italian flair)

Everything was Excellent. Jus that during my stay the nearby food centre was closed for cleaning. And wasn't able to get food aft 11pm. Only food available for fast food. Other than that No Complaints. Stay was Terrific will Go again Soon.

great experience for kids.

a bit of noise of airplane.

love the lady that check us in she is great , love the location

the price is a little high

Very nice concept. My son loved it. Near to changi village and beach - just right beside. Rooms are clean and well done up.

A little bit odd to charge a substantial amount more for parking - a bit of a budget airline add-on mentality to what's a generally beautiful property and surrounds. Interesting management decision - might be worth building it into the rate so it creates a more coherent vibe

All of the bus experience and near to hawker centre for food. Kids had a blast and family friendly. Staff was very friendly and cleaners too.

The entrance is around the bend and drivers keeps missing. Maybe add a sign and extra light before entrance? Breakfast was ok, better at the hawkers. Some parts of the bus are quite dusty especially at the front. Pathways to room has rubble to had to carry bags. Maybe a laundry room in the future.

The bus for a room idea was great, the kids had a ball, and the adults found a lot of yummy food nearby! However, apart from small matters at the end of the day, overall the service was great, and we had a great stay!

It would be nice to have a small play area/play ground/ pool for the little ones too, in the pics it looked like there was a lot of open area for play, but that wasnt quite the case when we got there, and there dint seem too much to do outside the bus for them... one more thing that was a little sore point was us was the parking charges for not only the guest, but also visitors... i mean after we pay so much for the room, is it really necesary to charge for parking within the facility?

Location is good. There's exit for us to go to Changi Hakwer Centre to buy food and drinks. The bbq service is good, the cleanliness of the bbq is acceptable. Good customer service by the front desk. Free flow of coffee but have to walk a bit to the front desk to get it. Toilets are clean, bathtub are clean. Just tat there's like no separation of wet and dry in the room as the bathtub is situated in the room. Maybe can have a separation as water tends to flow out and wet the carpet when the kids play in it. Other than tat its a good experience staying in a revamped SBS bus. Kids love it, playing driver at the driver seat. It an experience like none other.

The cloth of the shelter outside the bus was torn and they didn't change it before we check it. It didn't bother me much as luckily it was not raining the night we did bbq. It rained the morning after and the deck chair and table got wet. imagine if it rained at night when we are bbq-ing. All will be wet.

Relatively comfortable. Similar to a chalet experience with little amenities around. Small bbq pit.

Ants. Dusty. Peeling interior eg laminates.

It's very good for travellers on a short trip, close to the airport. You can hear the planes taking off/landing. There's a local food court next door, accessible through the side gate with the hotel key card. Mini marts, ATM machine, etc. It's very exciting for kids because it's an actual bus, with all the buttons and turnable steering! The pullout single bed-chair is not a good idea, it's too thin, but the mattresses were comfortable. Decent space for a bathroom and a separate toilet with a sink. Lots of counter space for things. But it's suitable for 2 luggage bags, and not more, quite narrow and can't have anything more than 2 luggage open at any one time. Nice table and chairs outside on a patio. Barbecue pit available for a reasonable price, which can be purchased with a booking. Thick curtains on windows for privacy. Friendly staff. Coffee/tea machine at reception, easily accessible. Free water bottles available at the room and the reception.

A bad smell was coming from the toilet, like it was from a manhole. It was quite overwhelming and we couldn't do anything about it. Staff mentioned that it's an ongoing problem and they've not been able to solve it. It's quite unpleasant to open the toilet door and get such a horrible stench. No room slippers.

Besonderer Vibe in einem Bus zu schlafen, gute Ausstattung, nachdem man als Backpacker unterwegs war und die letzte Nacht in der Nähe des Flughafens verbringen möchte. Ein guter, lokaler Hawker Centre fußläufig erreichbar.

Es war nicht sehr sauber

Room is good and kids love it too many foods to eat there.

Toilet is clean but got smell .

The bus theme, and the fact we are living in a bus, is very situated for family with young kids..

The room that we stayed in wasn't very well maintained, there were some water seepage and towels had holes in them..

Our kids lived playing in the driver's seat and spotting planes! I loved the access to free coffee. The lady who checked us in was super helpful.

I had a wonderful stay at The Bus Collective. The place was very clean and well-maintained, which made the stay comfortable from the start. The staff were warm, friendly, and always ready to assist, adding a welcoming touch to the experience. I especially appreciated the tranquil location. It felt peaceful and relaxing, yet it was also very convenient as it is situated just beside Changi Village. This made finding food incredibly easy and accessible, with plenty of options within walking distance.

The downside was that the bed was not comfortable, and the pillows were quite flat, which made sleeping a bit uncomfortable.

The place has a unique design, and overall it is clean with a quite comfortable bed. The surrounding area is also quiet.

Since it is bus-themed, the interior space is rather cramped. The BBQ pit is quite small, and although BBQ items are available for purchase, no dishwashing supplies are provided. The ground is mostly covered with small pebbles, which makes moving around a bit inconvenient. The checkout time of 11 a.m. feels a bit early.

Super netjes en hartstikke origineel. Beste douche en bedden in de vier weken dat we gereisd hebben

Het is wat ver van het centrum. T.o.v. het vliegveld wel perfect

Clean, staff extremely responsive and quirky

All good

The unexpected comfort of sleeping in a re-purposed end of life luxury kitted out bus . My daughters were extremely entertained.

There wasn't anything comparable to be disliked as it's a novel experience unlike anything else .

I loved the bus, the design, the rain shower and beautiful bath. The bed was comfortable, and there was a small fridge, two tvs, the driver's seat, a round bed, a sitting couch! Views from all windows were great. Staff was super friendly and accommodating and even got a little birthday cake for me. It was also very clean (contrary to many reviews read before). There is also an outside space and table, umbrella, and a barbecue.

Only the pillows could be of better quality, but nothing else was bad!

Very original concept. We enjoyed our stay. The property needs promotion and signage to orient the taxi drivers how to find the place.

1) Unique Experience with the converted Bus Staycation. 2) Enjoy the Sunrise from the Driver Seat, Front of the Bus. 3) Staff is approachable and fuflifll request when approached. 4) Patio area with covered shelter for food and BBQ. Area is clean up daily by staff promptly. 5) Close proximity to the food center, restaurant, cafe that serve delicious local delight such as Nasi Lemak, Roti prata, Zhi Cha 6) Close proximity to the provision area to grab stuff etc. 7) Close proximity to broadwalk, park and the ferry terminal for short visit to Ubin.

1) BBQ pit is a bit rusty though Patio area is clean and well maintained with the washing area by the side. 2) Good if could be more handicapped accessible such as covered walkway without the pebble.

Great location, friendly staff, comfy bed

Could have face towels too

It was very unique, fairly close to the airport but still required a bit of a taxi ride. My little one absolutely loved sitting in the driver seat watching stuff on TV 😆 it was also helpful being by a small night market so we were able to have some food despite arriving quite late.

The location while close to the airport still required a fairly long taxi ride so it ads up to the costs unfortunately.

Almost nothing

Most ridiculous thing is that BBQ package can't be ordered onsite, but nobody stated this to me when I posted inquires few days in advance (staff only direct to me to the website which listed all the package options but didn't say availability etc.). Facility was also not maintained well (i.e. no hand tower in the toilet, water tap is loosen, no much storage space, fence by the bunk bedside is shaking etc.). Won't be back again.

Very comfortable stay. Located right next to Changi Village with easy access to many food options. Delightful concept, and great fun for the little ones who could sit in the driver’s seat to “drive” the bus!

Quite a novel experience but probably one night is enough. Some parts of the bus interior need maintenance but generally comfortable. We enjoyed having the bbq facility.

Nothing too bad

Clean room

-

Hotel room converted from buses. Comfy beds. Only thing is due to bus shape, there is no dining place inside. Have to use outdoor seats. A food court just 2 mins walk from hotel.

Need so repair works. The main door is visibly damaged by rain water. Expensive.

Interesting concept, private patio to barbecue was very nice.

The hot water was limited, we had to shower in the cold. There was also lizard droppings in the room. The place had potential but overall disappointing.

Great location next to Changi Hawker village for myriad food options and if you like planes. Surprisingly quiet inside. Perfect pitstop before onward journey.

Novel and fun layout of the rooms. Great to have a bath tub. Nice lighting and pretty decent noise reduction -- once doors are all closed up.

A little cramped (but to be expected). Location is a bit less accessible than previously thought.

Loved the way the bus was laid out inside, with a separate shower room and toilet. It was very quirky with a round bed. The table and BBQ outside was a great added extra. There was a Hawkers Market about 40 metres away, we found the food delicious.

We found the round bed not very comfortable as we are both tall.

Mobile hotline David is so clueless when urgently need help. Apart from this, we have successfully manage to check in smoothly. Very unique experience with the transformation of Singapore public buses to your room to stay. All amenities are provided and indeed the shower foam smells great. After a 3d2n stay, we decided to give a better review rather than initial thought of 1 star. We booked 2 rooms with bath tub (208) and Duston twin (207) which I personally like it a lot as it has privacy due to the last unit. Then we (208) moved to 201 due to ants in room everywhere even thou we didn’t bbq or eat in room. 201 is a room with bunk bed and personally I feel it’s great for 4 pax. The bunk bed is so cozy and nicely design. Front desk and the ah neh skinny Indian house keeping is so helpful and accommodating even thou we keep complaining about the ants thingy (later we found out it’s common as it’s outdoor natural ambience.) Just right beside has the famous changi village hawker and plenty of supper places. So even no bbq, easily just grab your food with less than a minute walk. Complimentary beverages are provided 24 hours. Has some convenience stores that sell all your needs during the stay, from bbq to daily items. So not really need to get it before heading down. It’s an experience to stay but white goods are running old, needs to change specially the sofa bed. Compare to chalet or some container hotels in Singapore, I would say bus collective is way better.

Right next to Changi Village food center and adjoining park. Very convenient for meals there. Buses were very nicely remodeled and very comfortable. Slightly isolated location but Changi Village is the adjoining property and everything else is easily accessible with Grab

The bus seat in the bus was a big hit for my little boy.

The physical property did not match the online photos. We were instantly disappointed when we arrived, the outside area is not maintained, the grass and plants are over grown and unloved. Inside the bus, was quite work, bits of wood had fallen off the wall and the paint has chipped away. I believe our bus needed some aesthetic improvements. The online pictures advertising the property make it look quite appealing, but upon arrival it was not the case.

It is a nice concept and is well distributed. Price is also good.

Its a little bit far from the airport

I loved this stay! The bus was very clean and comfortable, had everything we needed for an enjoyable short stay and the unique drivers seat was fun. Great location right next to the hawkers market and a really great brewery. Would definitely stay again!

Bus interior is compact and comfortable and well designed

Young kids has rashes after a night stays. Nothing much within the bus collection compounds and lighting is poor especially the walkways towards the hawkers center

The Kids love this Special Sleepover

A peaceful place (except for the planes flying by frequently) to get away from the busy city live. Room smell nice and reasonable clean Feels like a luxury chalet. Lots of food and convenience shop nearby (few mins walk) if you choose not to BBQ Big outdoor area with bbq pit and sink that sit 4-6 pax comfortablely Changi beach and boat to Ubin just walking distance away. Big tub That fit 2 adults easily.

Room bit squeezy to walk side by side (as the room is longish) Walking around the compound can be quite hot during day time.

Location was superb with proximity to food, bars, coast, airport. The bud was so cleverly & beautifully appointed, I was stunned. The gentleman who checked me in was kind, helpful, friendly and patient (I was sleep deprived and dysfunctional).

Absolutely nothing. Obviously there was some airport noise, but I stayed because of the proximity to the airport so it was to be expected and wasn’t too disturbing at all - I slept well.

Great place to stay

This was a truly unique and fun stay for our family! Surprisingly spacious and very luxurious inside, it easily fit the four of us. The bed was super comfortable, and with the Singapore heat. The highlight for our boys was definitely the bus’s original steering wheel—they couldn’t get enough of it and nearly fell asleep playing! There’s a lovely patio with a BBQ, but the heat and humidity made it tough to enjoy. Daily bed-making and fresh water bottles were a nice touch.

Keeping the AC on at all times was essential.

On-site cleaning staff,

our card suddenly doesn't work when we r go back our Bus room night time at 2nd day, at the same time, we have no battey of our mobile, luccky that our next car Guest still eating Dinner and helped us to seek the solution. Finally, we meet one on-site cleaning staff that helped us to open the door......

I was sceptical but optimistic and I was not disappointed at all! Its exactly as pictured and exceeded my expectations. The staff were extremely accommodating even at 11pm! Fast replies to any questions and upon check out, the front office staff helped us find somewhere to do a bit of shopping and even arranged a taxi and communicated with the driver. Such a fun and unique experience. Please Def try the changi hawkers markets for a meal if you can!, a 2 minute walk, cheap food and tasty too!.

What a quirky and unusual 'hotel.' We loved it! To use old buses that are then renovated/converted to top class accommodation is such a great idea. The nearby hawker eating village is a real bonus as well.

Nothing!

It's like a playground for my kids, they spent hours playing inside the room.

Didn’t took the breakfast. Location too far

Outstanding customer service from Calvin, who w went above and beyond to be helpful and ensure we had a great stay. An incredibly comfortable and luxurious stay within an incredibly creative and quirky way! The kids absolutely loved it.

Perhaps a bed railing for the underneath bunk, as we had a 4-year-old and we were nervous he may roll out of bed. But he got to sleep in the master bed, and we was very happy about that!

We arrived late and left early. It seems to be close to the airport if you look at the map, but it's actually abouot 15min taxi ride from the airport. Public transport seemed to take about an hour. It was a good place to sleep the night between flights,

It was a little far from the airport.

Don´t never go this place. When we open door there was dirty and few spider inside in room This place is very bad. I can´t support nobody go there

The hotel room and the location, near the more forested area of old Changi city was fantastic. The kids loved staying in a bus.

The grounds didn't have much other than the buses. However, there is a little park just beside the complex so it wasn't a big deal that there wasn't much of a play area on the grounds.

Visited this place with family. Stayed in "Clarke Quay" bus. The staff is as caring as ever. Special call out Abigail for helping us change room when a blinking light cannot be switched off. It rained during our stay again. Previously when this happened, rainwater seeped into the bus. They have installed awnings at the door. It helps but does not completely solve the problem. I was somewhat surprised when the hotel needed to collect a S$50 deposit in case guests damaged their properties. Inspection of the 2 rooms I was assigned makes me understand why this is necessary. Overall, my stay had been comfortable and relaxing.

Cool concept - very clean and nice touches - close to hawker centre

We had to leave at 4am and it was difficult to get an uber to the airport!

Booked this hotel for the novelty. My 2 teenager kids still enjoyed the experience. The beds are ok but the small and thin pillows are a pain. The king bed only has 2 of these pillows. Bathroom and shower room are very nice but no hand towels and bath floor towels so it can get pretty wet and slippery.

the location was fine and we had our own privacy as it wasnt crowded over the weekend. Meant to be a cosy party for small group. Welcoming & friendly reception while we check in/check out. Need not worry about food as it is just right behind the hawker ctr. The tv comes with netflix & youtube.

the cleanliness was good until i found out some small little mushrooms growing outside the shower room door. It was not realised until i was kneeling down to wipe the floor. It was not obvious as it was only when you open the shower door against the tile so maybe the housekeeper also didnt realise.. Wanted to take a photo to feedback but find it too gross to even leave a image in my phone space. The bus seat was also torn till i could see the inner sponge. one side of light was also flickering on the main bedroom area but the room was still bright so didnt bother us much. The main light outside the dining area auto switch off at about 9 plus 10 while we are still BBQ-ing. We tried to switch on but it went off after awhile. The lights outside could be more brighter. The stand of the shelter was also hindering the BBQ pit which we had to stand at the side to BBQ. it can be quite noise disturbance if you are a light sleeper. but we understood that the location is near the airport and it cannot be control.

Location was good! Near the food centre and the Changi Beach Park.

The fittings and interior of the bus were a little worn for a property this new.
