The room assigned to us was not welcoming at first - room was not properly cleaned. But their staff Rhea came to our rescue and assigned a new room that made us feel more comfortable and offered assistance for just about anything we needed. Thank you, Rhea! I loved how you paid sincere attention to our needs to make our stay as comfortable as possible!

I wasn’t expecting much from Hotel 81 (Fuji), and mostly I got what I paid for - a budget, basic hotel room. Unfortunately the room fittings left a lot to be desired even at a budget level, especially the bathroom. The shower leaked, didn’t stay hot for long, and there was no separation between shower and toilet. There wasn’t even a shelf above or near the sink. Lighting in the room didn’t make much sense. Having said that, it was clean, wifi worked well, staff very helpful and the area has excellent food choices.

Comfy sleep and conveniently located

Only booked for two nights, when we checked in the staff were lovely and welcoming, they told us where the nearest local transport links were and where would be some good spots nearby to grab food and/or snacks.

We had opted for a room that didn't have a window so that we could more easily adjust to the timezone difference. Worked better than we expected, so if you do book a room like this - I'd recommend setting an alarm for yourself. The mattress was a bit more firm than most would be accustomed to in European countries, but my partner and i loved them! Was such a comfortable sleep after a 16hr flight. The wifi was a little fiddly at first (each room has its own private connection which is linked to the TV) but eventually got the hang of it and it was smooth sailing!

If you're looking for a hotel thats clean, safe for leaving your things, and a comfortable sleep whilst you explore the city - would definitely give this location a go!

Hourly rate offered plus interesting noises.

This hotel offering hourly rates for couples…….this area is not that sort of area where this practice is happening. Whilst I checked in two people asked to for hourly rate. Not only that the walls are thin and can hear people making use of the hourly rate.

My room was not cleaned twice during the week, and overall condition of the room was poor.

The bed are very hard too with disgusting pillows.

Below average, even by Hotel 81 standards.

Very basic room, as expected, but quite bare, even by Hotel 81 standards. The bathroom floor wasn't tiled and water leaked through the floorboards when walked upon, even after the surface was dried. I suspect that the trapped water contributed to the unpleasant smell in the bathroom. Saw a few tiny ants as well.

Worst hotel room ever for SGD120

These kind of accomodation should not be listed as it gives visitors a negative experience of Singapore.

The 3rd floor corridor smelled heavily of cigarette smoke. Room was a windowless closet and there was dust on the surfaces and the tv remote. The bathroom smelled bad despite keeping the toilet lid down and the bathroom door closed. We passed the night wearing medical masks to sleep. Bedsheet was gauze thin, likely a disposal sheet and the pillowcase felt unwashed from the previous guest.

The room was nothing like the photos depicted in Hotel's website. We booked this hotel based on the pictures looking normal and thought that at the price of SGD 120 it should be a decent budget room. As the room was barely habitable, it only served the job of resting overnight after returning from Penang Malaysia and heading for Changi Airport the next day. We checked out first thing in the morning just to avoid spending another 10 minutes in the nausea-inducing room. We would rather ride the clean air-conditioned buses and trains to spend the hours before the flight than remain in this room till the usual check-out time.

Key takeaway is to avoid budget hotels in Singapore and to book weeks early to get lower prices at, plus double the budget for a reputable hotel name. Alternatively make the extra effort and cross the causeway to stay in Johor Bahru for less in a decent hotel.

The pictures of the room are not the room they give you. They show you the more expensive rooms with a bathtub and more space but give you a smaller room with a shower only. I picked this place for the tub mainly. Very disappointed with the lack of truth.

The room was all okay. Just the fact that the windows can’t be opened which is slightly suffocating and I do understand that it’s closed for a reason. But one thing I have to state is that the toilet has not been cleaned properly. There were hairs on the drain covers and what appears to be thick blood (you can expect what it is) in the drain that was visible. And not to mention there were tiny black worm like creatures swimming near the drain. Aside from the the service, the beds, housecleaning and the staff were all great. Location wise is easy to get to the city and most places since there’s a bustop nearby. Convinient store just right below the hotel.

\"Cheap\" Hotel with good price/performance ratio

The hotel was good, you can't expect too much for the money you spend, e.g. the room is not really big and a bit smelly and the location is not central (but with buses you can get anywhere). But we still enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to couples who want some privacy (so no hostels) but don't want to spend too much on expensive hotels.
You can find anything in close proximity you wish for, e.g. Durian tasting, restaurants, and a mall.

6th floor

my stayed at hotel fuji this time round is very dissapointing, i requested for twin beds as i have a child with me. but was told at the hotel (NO 2 SINGLES BED ONLY QUEEN AVAILABLE) i have been here many times with my husband and we do know there is singles beds ... because we used to had those rooms before.

costing me 83.95 i think and i booked for 3 nights. and the room is not clean enough.

my son left a tissue box in my backpack, and when we get back from our dayout. i found that the tissue box is being taken from my backpack and the zipped was opened.

i asked my husband if he did open the tissue box. he replied 'no'

i really don't like and not happy with the room that i booked for 3 days. and will not be back in hotel fuji.

it would be nice to refund me back as i didin't stay in the room much. few hours and than we went day outing with our son .. i am not coming back to this hotel.

walking distance to National Skin Center

We choose this hotel/ for its proximity to the National Skin Center. The room size was a bit larger than other Hotel 81s we've stayed at in Singapore. The bathroom was small, but did include a shower head. The AC was cold and couldn't be adjusted or turned off.
