Basic hotel but not bad for the price

Pretty basic hotel, would prefer to stay in something better. But for the price (in Singapore) it's ok and ideal if you are just after a bed to sleep in. Staff are friendly and willing to help. Good location for getting around Singapore, situated between Little India and Bugis (both walking distance). 3 MRT stations in close proximity, so plenty of options for travelling to other parts of Singapore. This was my second stay at Hotel 81 Rochor.

Rating this as poor, because all windows were sealed. There was no light / air allowed from anywhere except the Air conditioning.
Moreover, while doing the booking, I was shown the image of balcony, but when I reached there, i wasn't given the room with balcony. They said, they only have one room with balcony and that is already taken by someone else.
So, had to adjust in a sealed room throughout my trip. They did given me an option to move out and get a full refund, but at that time, I would have had to pay double amount to get a room in any hotel.
Other than this, the stay was fine. This was anyways just a room we had booked, without any breakfast or other amenities.

Very nice accommodation. Worth the amount that you will pay and I will definitely go back to this place.

Not only it has a simple room, the hotel is a 2 minute walk from the MRT station, which is very convenient for leisure travelers or backpackers like me. They clean your room everyday and always provide clean towels, complimentary bottled water and instant coffee/tea, which serves a your morning or late night hot drink. Hotel staff is also very accommodating and will help you on your travel needs.

The small bathroom design is a disaster. The shower drain means the whole bathroom shower floods whilst showering.

The opaque window separating the bedroom from the shower means you can’t isolate the rooms lighting.

The staff had barely intelligible English and were short and abrupt.

The 4 star price was a gauging while the F1 was on I hope because a permanent rack rate at those prices are unsustainable.

Never at this hotel

Well, both night staff were accommodating. But the day staff was very rude and doesn’t like to be bothered. Room was too cold and control it, even after calling the front office to turn it. We would return with it being turned back on at 22 degrees. We had DND for our entire stay but housekeeper kept entering our room to tidy up. Even after mentioning to the rude front office staff.
Housekeeping start working at 7am. They were making lots of noise on the hall way. We would come back at 2am. Only to be awake. So early.
For the price we paid, I think it wasn’t worth it. Never again that we’ll choose this hotel.

And you can't turn AC off yourself - you need to call to the front desk.

We stayed for 2 nights, in superior room and then family room respectively. The amenities are standard for a low cost hotel. One thing to note was there is no closed storage space for luggage/clothing for superior room. There are wall hooks so we made used of those. The staff were friendly and accommodating - I requested for upgrade of room but couldn't make it back by noon to move, yet they showed understanding.
The surrounding is convenient as there's a cheers (7-11 type store) out front and plenty of eateries a street or two across. There is also an MTR station near by. Overall, we're happy with our stay.

Easy to find halal food as well (nearby halal indian restaurants). However, don’t expect the room is spacious as per shown photo.

Hair, ants, and more hair.

Terribly disappointed with this hotel. The building is an attractive art deco style construction, however once you’re inside things go downhill fast. First off, the entire hotel has opaque green windows that cannot be seen through and cannot be opened. It gives one the feeling of being in prison. Yep astonishingly, the hotel charges a premium for rooms that have windows! The cleanliness of the room is simply unacceptable. It was a great deal of hair on the floor of my hotel room, on the floor of the bathroom, and even some hair in the sheets. I complained to the staff about this, and they sent someone to clean the room again. However, all the cement was sweeping and changing the sheets. I don’t think this hotel even owns a vacuum. Ants were crawling along the floor next to the wall. What is the hotel to do about this? It would be very difficult to spray for bugs when you cannot air out the room given that the windows do not open! The staff offered to switch me to another room, but said that it was the smaller and noisier room ( presumably on the main floor with traffic zooming by). I will awknowlege the positive points of this property. It is located very close to two different metro stops as well as the bus stop. The daytime desk clerk, and I regret not recording his name, was very courteous, friendly, and helpful. He allowed me to check in two hours early.

Good location, bad hotel

So this hotel is within walking distance to 2 of the most used metro lines where all the touristic stuff is: downtown line and the east west line. Plenty of restaurants within 2-3 blocks distance specially near Bugis.

Pros:
-Location
-Price ( or maybe not.)

Cons:
-Noisy, you can hear everything from other rooms and the janitor walking around being incredibly noisy every single day.
-You will see all types of guest in this hotel, good ones and bad ones. Some people use it for doing their \"business\".

DOWNTOWN MRT LINE CLOSE TO HOTEL - VERY GOOD!

We had room 311. Overall I am satisfied with the service and cleanliness. However the bathroom leaked out into the bedroom floor each time we had a shower. It was not via the door but underneath the tiles. I reported it to the front desk on the second morning. The problem was not rectified during our stay of four nights. We had stayed before at Hotel 81 Rochor. This time we noticed the MRT has now crept closer with a DOWNTOWN line terminal close by - Yeah!!!!! :) :) :) And there's a cafe \"FUN TOAST\" at the MRT station with great service and great breakfast!
