THORPES 307 Posted October 19, 2012 Hi I know this is a silly question but I hope someone can help. I am terrified of lifts and was wondering if you book a room at the Changi transit hotel, do they have any ground floor rooms or if not can you use the stairs instead of the lift? I dont want to book and then arrive and end up sitting in reception :embarrassed: Thanks Jill Warren (37) Jill (35) Liam (16) Jack (11) VISA175 MODL GRANTED 26/08/08.

Guest Posted October 19, 2012 They would have to have stairs as a fire exit route surely. I know round the airport they have stairs as well as lifts. Can you not cope with one even to a lower level floor? I'd email the hotel direct and enquire to put your mind at rest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
THORPES 307 Posted October 19, 2012 Thanks. I have just emailed them to ask. I am petrified of lifts, its the confined space and the feeling when they move. It's daft I know. x Warren (37) Jill (35) Liam (16) Jack (11) VISA175 MODL GRANTED 26/08/08. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hippychick 10 Posted October 19, 2012 I stayed last year, they had an escalator up to the hotel lobby, then our room was on the same level. No lifts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BritChickx 10,877 Posted October 19, 2012 They do have lifts. We got a lift to one of the top floors. They should definately have stairs as snifter said incase of a fire or emergency. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Delaneym 493 Posted October 19, 2012 they have escalators to both terminal hotels and all the rooms are on one level so you wont need to use the lift ( they have stairs as well).. I have stayed in both hotels there and thought they were both great value! enjoy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest17301 Posted October 19, 2012 Can't remember using a lift there, can remember the escalator to the lobby and comfy chairs while we filled in our admission cards Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BritChickx 10,877 Posted October 20, 2012 ok, just ignore me lol, so sorry OP thinking of hong kong airport not singapore....doh! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted October 20, 2012 Why not get out of the airport and jump on the bus to a nice hotel, maybe go for a singapore sling in the raffles (60 quid for 2 drinks mind!!!) stay a night. As for lifts, well where I live at the moment the lifts havent been services ever and they wobble all over and you can hear the chains clanging as you rise or fall. Worst part is you get stuck every other go and what put me off o the 1st occasion was the guy saying he would turn the power off and on to get the lift working again. I thought the brakes would release!!! I'm still here though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Will Low Posted October 21, 2012 How the hell do you not pee on the plane for 12 hours, the toilets are so much smaller than a lift !!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BritChickx 10,877 Posted October 22, 2012 Toilets aren't that bad in the plane, better than peeing yourself lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
THORPES 307 Posted October 23, 2012 Thanks. I have received an email from the hotel and they have confirmed escalators and stairs, phew x Warren (37) Jill (35) Liam (16) Jack (11) VISA175 MODL GRANTED 26/08/08. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
