Location is the best , but room so litle and stinky.
Even thoug staff is very kind.
Absolutely loved the location in the middle of Chinatown. Step out of the lobby and a great mall was across the street. Only a short distance to our favorite outdoor restaurant. The staff were all kind, cheerful and treated us as close family. The room was extremely tiny. Maybe 10' x 10', but who needs more? We were there to only sleep at night and a midday rest. We will definitely stay here again if we are fortunate enough to return to Singapore. Thank you Hotel 81!!
This is a very basic hotel. What it lacks in anything in the way of style or extras is made up for by location, location, location.
It’s a perfectly fine hotel for those on a budget.
It’s a brilliant hotel form walking around most of Singapore city.
I always stay here when in Singapore. Room just right. Staff excellent. Area around hotel has great food and any shopping you may need. Only improvements would be more tv stations, clean between windows and more electric outlets.
Was just after a place to be able to stay after being out all day for 3 days. Overall Hotel 81 is very well situated and the room has the amenities that I required. Although if you do require a larger bathroom, it is quite tight (no separate shower cube to separate from toilet/sink).
The room that I had for the price per night is not worth it…it wasn’t mentioned that the room has no windows and no shower…the shower is in the toilet…and the room is very small and had very old furniture….the beddings were clean…but it’s probably overpriced for 427 Canadian dollars for 2 nights. Only good thing is walkable to some tourists attractions. Amenities in the room is very poor.
The place is too old, bed is so hard and uncomfortable, bathroom is terrible, no shower stall that when you take a shower the entire bathroom is wet including the doors, the shower head is falling apart😳😤
Horrible. Bed is not comfortable. Blanket is so thin. Dressing table and tv console are dusty as though been years no one cleanup. Bath room so small.

Sorry to say but do not stay in this hotel, the room I had was nothing like the photos, the room was very small.
The hotel also had cockroaches which I informed to the staff immediately. I also informed them that I would check out in the morning and the hotel would not agree to give a refund.
I booked for three nights and stayed 8 hours only.
Do not recommend this hotel
Too small room. Room are not clean enough. Smell smoking in the room. Hot water not good.
Seem like pricy room for what we got in the same amount compare to another hotels.q
