I had a 16 hour layover and decided to book Hotel 81. It is located close to many good restaurants and clubs.
It is really convenient for short stays or longer. The taxi or Grab costs are from S$20-30 and takes about 30mins from the airport.
The WiFi connection was great even on the 4th floor. The staff are friendly and helpful.
I would recommend.

They clean the room every day. Decent place overall. Room is very small, no cupboard nor bedside table, but there is big table. Double bed comfortable. Staff is nice and helpful. Bathroom has lot of mould on the ceiling that can be smelled in the room too if the air conditioner is not on, and there were some bugs in the bathroom but not in the bedroom. Hot shower water does not last long. Lucky they have separate tap for filtered water.

The hotel is a bit outdated and currently undergoing renovations, and I want to give a big thanks to Wilson and Hui Wen for making our stay so comfortable. While the area happens to be in the red-light district (something I only realized upon arrival), it really wasn’t an issue. The location is actually quite convenient—close to excellent restaurants and with easy access to the city. Once again, many thanks to Wilson.

As advertised but WIFI needs some improvement

Room was as advertised. 24 hr desk was helpful. Room was small but big enough. Plenty of dangerously hot hot water. Good bathroom. Window looked at a cinderblock wall. Only complaint was the WIFI. My Chinese knockoff barely got a signal but my iPhone did much better. Still had to stand in the door way to download Netflix to watch later though. WIFI in rooms can vary greatly from one end of the hallway to the other other.

Service not good

my company extended my stay till Oct 5. and paid everything.

when i was about to check out the receptionist asked me to pay 1night overstayed. they dont allow me to checkout so i paid and told my HR on monday 07/10.
My HR told me that comoany fully paid till Oct5.
so my HR travel to the hotel to ask for reimbursement but the receptionist keep insisting 1 stay for 17night from 19 Sept - 05 and we pay only 16nights.

Your receptionist dont know how to count.
very troublesome for my company and your receptionist didn’t even apologies. He just give the money and took back the receipt.

The staffs are excellent and very helpful. The hotel is very convenient as the resturant is just one step away. Getting to other places is easy ad the taxi is always available at any time.

Uncomfortable mattress. Ok to stay for a night.

Mattress was too hard which causes back ache. Room was too old and small. Overall for the price is probably to be expected

Not worth staying here. Our room had a draft from the window that made the room freezing every night, it was uncomfortable and a terrible nights sleep. Also the hotel is on a small street and at night it is lined with prostitutes who are not shy. Not a big issue for 2 gay guys walking home but if you are a family or a strsight couple it is really not nice.

Hard Mattress

The room's mattress was so hard I could have slept on the floor and it would have been comparable. Upon checking out, I asked hotel manager when was the last time the mattresses were replaced. He looked at me confused. \"They're changed every day.\" No, I said. Mattress replacement; not changing sheets. \"I don't know. Over five years.\" I said it's time to replace and upgrade.

There are many \"Hotel 81\" all over Singapore. This suggests there's considerable money in this operation. By far, the most important thing a hotel provides is a comfortable night's sleep. Small room, tiny bathroom which also serves as the shower, red light district; all these are secondary. If sleeping on the floor is about the same experience as the room's mattress is, I don't need to pay for a hotel

Disgustingly horrible

The hotel is utterly disgusting, the room is dirty, old, tiny and windowless. On the narrow sidewalk adjoining the hotel, some people are selling contraband cigarettes at all times. Cars are always stopping to buy the cigarettes. So moving on the sidewalk and road, is tricky when the cigarette sale is going on. The hotel is surrounded by brothels which are quieter than the patrons of the hotel who are always yelling.

Good, clean and value for money

The reception staff were very help with internal travel directions as well as with help in booking travel out of Spore. Courteous and well mannnered. Room was leaking from the air conditioner and when I complained moved to a better room immmediately.
Hotel close to amenities and eating shops and such within walking distance. No complaints.

Every morning and evening the roads opposite to the hotel are blocked by the
tourist buses
Internet is good
Water clogs in the shower and the staff doesn't bother to respond to requests
Housekeeping is very inconsistent - they don't replenish coffee satchets, tooth brush etc

Don't stay here

This was the worst hotel in the area that I have stayed in. The first room had a spring sticking through the mattress that left a long scratch on my leg...I requested a new room and was given another with a bed I could sleep on (no springs poking out, but still old, hard and uncomfortable)...but the room was worn and outdated and the A/C was very loud.

The staff tried to be helpful...but unfortunately, they do not have a lot to work with.

I usually stay at the Hotel 81 Star (which is much nicer and up to date) but it was fully booked.

Do not Rude, Arrogant and Unprofessional Staff

I had requested for early check in for my guests, checking in on 04th Aug 2016, one of the manager assured me that if rooms are available, then it will be provided free of cost. But to my shock even after availability of the rooms, I was forced to pay SGD 20 per room by another manager in the same Hotel. No lobby and space for the guests to sit in the Hotel. Very small and uncomfortable rooms.

My experience was very positive. The room was small, but adequate, specially for the price. The hotel is in the heart of the red light district, so perhaps not approriate for a family, but for me it was just fine and actually the location is very convenient . . . close to MRT station and many low priced restaurants that serve great food. The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. They printed a bunch of documnetents for me at no charge. I would recommend this hotel for anyone who is on a budget and wants to be in a conveneient location

a low cost room in s'pore mid way cityhall-airport

it is one of a chain of 81 hotels in singapore offering short time stately and overnight stay....most of the tines the rooms under offer are cubicle not even often with windows smocking free but the bathroom infected from cigarette smocking...the only improvement the past years is from no hangers at all to new this times sealed hangers....the location is lively at night not closing down by 21.30 pm...low costs meaning low everything else.....only for single adults whom need only a roof to sleep with wi-fi, few tv channels and a shower toilet room combined......
