Booked a room with two twin beds but it would be very difficult to share the room with another person in reality. The bathroom is very small, the sink and toilet are within and when you take a shower everything gets wet. There is no way to change in there thereafter.
Not the cheeriest front desk but the cleaning staff were polite and efficient.
Wish there was a safe box but not enough room. My luggage could not be unpacked but stayed upright in front of the unused bed.

Hotel was good. Bit compact and was not really a fan of the bathroom and toilet combo but seems standard for Asia.

One thing I wish I would have known was this place is considered the red light district and in the weekends they seem to be busy…

Little off putting tbh. But that’s on me for reading reviews and researching more.

Did not get offered an airport shuttle either direction. Beds were hard. Shower water goes all over the bathroom floor. Ok for a place to lay your head for a few hours during a layover.

I didn't like anything about this hotel. The room was too small, beds were too hard. The 2in1 toilet and shower didn't work for me. There was no space to get dressed in the bathroom, after taking a shower the bathroom mat was soaking wet just after a single use. No space to put your luggage. They offered 1 complimentary instant coffee sachet and 1 tea for 2 guest the day we checked-in. After that, they just dropped off clean towels and didn't even bother with house keeping.

I don’t hate it, I don’t like it either

The service was okay, I was told rooms will be cleaned every second day, which was done poorly. bed covers weren’t changed at all I ended up asking for bed sheets and changing them myself. Bathrooms were not cleaned at all. It looked musty, as its connect to everything. I had to run water on the bathroom floor to clean it time to time. This was so annoying. They would only take out the trash and that’s it. It’s convenient to everything which good. If you wish to have a relaxed holiday and not worry about making beds, changing your own bed covers and cleaning the bathroom yourself this isn’t the hotel for you.

This hotel is in the RED LIGHT DISTRICT area beware prior to booking!!!! My friend and I did not do our research on the area and booked this place for our grab driver to warn us to be careful as we are in red light district. Right when we arrived at the hotel and got out the car there were two men on the side walk glaring at my friend they seemed not sober so we felt extremely unsafe that we got back in the car and asked the grab driver to take us to another hotel.

Good price for Singapore, convenient location

The rooms were new and well kept, and the location was very convenient. However the rooms were very small, and several (like the one I was assigned to) did not have any windows. I also noticed on the first night that my sheets did not look clean, there was some stain on it. They did clean and replace my sheets after a couple nights and towels were replaced daily.

The hotel was close to a bus stop that has a good selection of bus routes, including a short ride to downtown. Not so easy access to MRT. Area is lively and has many restaurants nearby

Property was too far to downtown and marina- ended up taking many trains and busses daily, very inconvenient we should have done more research, so if you are looking to be where the action is find somewhere closer. Limited dining around the area that we liked, our floor was very noisy, babies crying and loud talking in the early mornings we could hear as walls are thin and can hear very well through door. Rooms are small with little storage space and walk way- the shower is pretty much overtop of the sink and toilet. Overall pretty clean and a nice little hotel for on a budget! Staff is friendly and helpful!

I had a terrible experience at this hotel. The staff were very bad, unprofessional service, discriminatory and contemptuous attitude towards customers. The room was small and cramped. They wanted to charge an extra $70 usd for an extra person to stay at their hotel. That's crazy, $70 usd for one person? They wanted to cram 3 of us into a small room with 1 queen bed for over $140 usd. Very bad, terrible experience.

Worst Hotel I've Ever Been At...

Hotels.com website-Hotel 81 Orchid looked beautiful. A variety of close venues & shopping, large rooms, beautiful views from the window. As we pull up in a GRAB the driver tells us to be careful we are in the RED LIGHT DISTRICT so don't go out & if we do hold onto our phones & purses. We get to the hotel, it is in the ghetto, paint is peeling off the wall outside, across the street is terrible housing and hotels sell by the hour, I booked it because of the photos & it said it was close to popular downtown market area, sites & airport as well as cruise terminal which was very welcome, we decided to walk to find food as the hotel didn't even provide drinking water, but within a half a block we were stepping over dead cockroaches and fish heads on the street. After walking a few blocks, we found a small store, bought cup o noodles as well a few bottled waters & decided it was safer to go back to the hotel. We finally were able to check in. It the price I booked was $187.00 US$ the Hotel clerk said it would be $335.00 US$/$244.88 Singapore $... I said NO DAMNED WAY, that I had the currency converter & the price was $187.00 US$ but he still charged me $196.80 US$ anyways. Then we get into our room only to see a 10x10 room with no window, looking more like an LA county jail cell then a hotel. shower in the bathroom which the shower is right next to the toilet over the toilet. The sink got wet, the floor was a wading pool. This was a terrible experience and I may 2nd guess Hotels

Short stay for small family of three.

Staff seemed uniterested unless the boss was there ( he also was happy to give us late check-out which I was pleased with. Transport options are busses about a 5 minute walk if you can work out the timetable or mrt which goes past marina bay about 15 minute walk.

Very poor customer service especially at midnight

The reception staff mentioned they did not received booking details from hotel.com. I had to again from pocket during check in as they demanded as I had no other option at midnight. I showed the email confirmation from hotel.com and also showed the proof of phone call and email to the recetion of hotel.com a week ago. They did not wanted to accept anyway that I had a paid booking. During checkout time they apologised and returned money. I am not sure whose fault it is, hotel 81 or hotel.com. But at midnight with family including small child, this kind of issues are frustrating. I will not recommend either of the hotel or the booking provider to anyone. Very poor customer service especially at midnight with small child.
