** IMPORTANT NOTE **
Aerotel Singapore is a transit hotel located inside the airport immigration/custom area (airside), Terminal 1, departure hall, right above Gate 40 or 41, level 3. For transiting and non transiting passengers without a valid boarding pass for next flight are to stay inside the immigration area. DO NOT CLEAR and exit the immigration or custom or whatever you called it if you have a booking for this transit hotel.
If you have any check-in baggage, you can just forget it for a while. All your check in bags will be on the rotating belt after you clear the immigration. So meaning, if you are going to stay in this transit hotel and unable to clear the custom, you gonna part with it until you check out of your hotel and clear the custom and proceed to the baggage claim counter to claim back your bags.
Please take note that you will not be able to bring your 20kg big bags into the immigration by hand carrying. So, please do not waste anytime clearing the custom and collect the bags which later on found out that it's a waste of effort as you are not able to bring it inside and have to wait for the airline counter to open at a certain time.
Please be aware that if you do not have a valid next flight boarding passes, you will not be able to re-enter the immigration/custom again if you have exited.
When this happens, there will be no point of arguing with either the airline, airport or the hotel. There's nothing much the airline can do as their counter will only opens at a certain timing. there's nothing much the immigration can do as you do not have a boarding pass. There's nothing much the hotel can do as you cannot enter the immigration.
So, please read the policy, terms and condition very carefully on the booking webpage before you book a room with a transit hotel.

Rooms
Rooms here are pretty decent. For a short nap and go, shower and a quick meal for a long transit hours, there is nothing much for one person to ask for.
I have got myself a double room which they called it. It came with an attached bathroom, which the other room type has to share 4 units of common bathroom.
I am also lucky to get a room with window as I was told that rooms with window are very limited.

The window in the room was pretty a small one but would do the trick. It faces the runway. If you are a light sleeper. Please get a room with no window.
The sound of the airplanes taking off and landing might be an issue.
