Very happy stay at Hotel 81 Osaka.
Service. Better service than excellent. The staff was all around helpful, especially Jacky and the hotel manager, Marcus. Helped with 4 am departure - with organizing many pieces of luggage the evening before and the taxi. And the Arrival Card for Malaysia which had some glitches. The friendliness, helpfulness and cheerfulness makes it a very pleasant stay.
Amenities. It’s a budget hotel so don’t expect a swimming pool, meeting rooms, etc. The hotel is well maintained though, very clean and the airconditioning is great (Singapore is hot).
Location. Well located. Central. 300 metres to MRT (subway), 100 metres to bus stop. Take the bus right to the subway station. Next to Tiong Bahru Market food centre(200metrrs) which is one of Singapore’s celebrated food centres serving some very sought after foods (by Singaporeans). Small eateries (many) with great food patronized by locals. Heritage buildings all around. Less than a mile from Chinatown and $10-15 taxi ride to Orchard Road (cheaper by subway).

Will definitely go back again next time I am in Singapore.

Great!Great!Great!
Great for Service. Marcus (manager), James and Jacky and the other staff provided excellent service in a most friendly manner. From where to catch the subway and bus to filling up the Malaysia Arrival Card and other inquiries, the service was impeccable. Makes you feel completely at ease. And at home.
Great for Cleanliness. The facility is modern and very well maintained. Absolutely clean and air conditioning was very cool and quiet. Location was quiet.
Great for location. Very close to the Singapore General Hospital and Tiong Bahru Market and Food Centre. If you want to get a feel of Singapore’s old culture and heritage housing, you are in the midst of it. Tiong Bahru Market Food Centre is within 200 metres. The whole area is a place for the locals to feed - many great eateries from morning 7 am (Tiong Bahru Market Food Centre) to the numerous small restaurants where the locals congregate. The bus stop is within 100 metres and the subway within 300 metres. Catch the bus to the subway. The bus brings you right to the subway system. Because it is in a well trafficked area, there are numerous bus services. It is within singapore$10-15 to Orchard Road by taxi if you don’t want to ride in the subway.
Book with confidence and stay with comfort. We stayed in March 2026 and will return in April 2026 after visiting Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok. My wife and I travel extensively in Asia and this is one hotel we can heartily and happily recommend.

Recommendation: Search for another hotel! You will not get lucky or satisfied in this one.

Hotel is close to a an Underground station from where you can go to the City that is really good. The hotel is really a basic hotel. Reception is really small and all the hotel is really old-school and the furnite not the newest one and also not in the best condition.
The room is really shaby so it does not feel clean. The room is smelling bad and not healthy. In the bad there is a mildew (mold / mould) in the bad that is really unhealthy and discussing.
The biggest problem was the not working shower. Even after 2. attempts to sort it out with the receptionist there where no change.So i had to book myself a new hotel to get a shower.

This is a no-frills hotel in a quiet suburban section of the city. The famous Tiong Bahru Market with the huge selection of eating vendors is just a 5 min walk. The area has become increasingly gentrified for the expatriate community. Besides local eateries there are quite a few cafes or bistros for this community. The premises is clean and relatively newly refurbished which is a plus point. However, there were no mini fridge or a closet like other Hotel 81, and the oft criticism of this chain hotel rooms being used by the hour for adult purposes was quite evident on this property. It is in at a dead-end street and is quiet and secluded.

Great hawkers market down the road for a big cheep breakfast or lunch with the locals. Located in a slightly more suburban area with less tourists so better vibe plus lovely helpful staff and 24 hour convenience store underneath run by a really friendly fellow. Rooms are not big on western standards but normal for Singapore and great value. If you have a ton of luggage may be a problem though. Everything was clean with nice crisp linen on a firm but good mattrice and WIFI worked fine. A bit of a walk to MRT but good for us to burn off all of the wonderfull food we consumed. We walked to China town several times and even did a big walk to Gardens By the Bay via China Town and the CBD but opted to catch the MRT back. If you do not do walking the MRT is about 400m away so will need to consider the bus or taking a Taxi either to the MRT or your destination. Taxis are reasonably priced and honest though.

Great location with restaurants and a food court. Short walk to MRT and safe area. The only short fall was the room size. I think I would say typical for Singapore large enough for a bed and little space around it. The bath room allows for the 3 S’s of male grooming with little to no movement. The one thing that would made it better is some shelf space on the walls of the room.

While the facilities and WiFi were good, the beds are the worst beds I have ever slept on in a hotel (and I have stayed at many hotels so I don't say this lightly!). They are hard and covered in plastic, which makes the sheets slide off. I had a terrible sleep and was happy to check-out after 2 nights. Also the air con cannot be turned off manually, only can adjust the temperature which was annoying. However, the foodcourt and restaurants close by were good. If they can upgrade the beds I would rate it average overall.

In Singapore on business

I travel to Singapore regularly mainly for business. I normally stay around Chinatown and pick an economical hotel in that area. I read the reports and reviews on Hotel 81 Osaka and they read well so I booked there for a week. I was terribly disappointed and consider their indication of the hotel is certainly misleading. Location is good being in one of the older districts of Singapore but the quality of the room, facilities etc. leaves a lot to be desired. I certainly am one patron who will not be going back there.

Unwilling to control rule-breaking guests

I understand the challenges of running a hotel for guests with a very wide variety of cultural and economic backgrounds, but Hotel 81 was very unhelpful when asked to enforce simple rules like no smoking. With the design of their ventilation system, smoke in one room quickly spreads, yet hotel staff seemed unwilling to confront rule-breakers for the sake of the comfort of other guests. This was disappointing, even if understandable.

They also had serious problems with maintenance - a faulty smoke alarm went off in the middle of the night and it took over 12 hours to stop the incessant and loud beeping.

You can't expect too much with budget hotels, but I've stayed here many times without issue so these problems were unpleasant surprises to me.

Stay away, even the taxi drivers can't find it!!!!

Room tiny with en suite wetroom , no cupboards, wardrobes or hangers, hence nowhere to put your clothes, had to keep them in my suitcase all week, and nowhere big enough to open the suitcase flat other than on your bed! No iron available either! No lounge, no dining room, no pool, literally just a front door a small reception area and your room. It was clean but the bed covers had cigarette burns in them and the sheets had holes. The mattress was really hard and covered in a hard vinyl/plastic. The sheets were not fitted and just slid off the vinyl in the night so you woke up sleeping on the plastic itself! Wi fi was unreliable and kept logging you out. after logging in 5 times it locked you out for the rest of the day! Staff were polite and helpful but never moved from behind the reception desk. Air conditioning was good, but the room had no opening windows.

Clean budget hotel with terrible beds

This hotel is reasonably well located with about a 10-15 minute walk to the orton park metro (subway) station on the edge of Chinatown. The train from the airport will take you to this station after changing but not if you arrive after 11.30pm.
There is a small variety store just 2-3 doors away which is open 24 hours.
On the same block about 5 doors away is a very good bakery/restaurant which is great for breakfast but they do not open until 11am.
The staff at the hotel are very helpful but when we arrived at after midnight I asked the desk clerk if there was an ice machine as I was having an achilles tendon problem.....no there wasn't and when I asked if the all night vartiety store had ice she replied no. The next day I went into the variety store for something else and discovered they did indeed have ice.
The guy running the store was nice enough to let me store the opened bag if ice in his freezer as there is no fridge at the hotel.
The bed mattress is made of plastic so that after the slighest turning during the night the sheets ride up leaving the plastic exposed making for an uncomfortable nights sleep.
Singapore is an expensive city and this is a budget hotel but I would not stay here again mainly because of the issue with the bed mattress.

Small but not bad.

This was our 2nd of 4 hotels that we stayed at during our trip to Singapore. Previously we stayed at the Fragrance Hotel Viva and as I said in the review for that hotel it was bad. This one though was pretty ok. The price was the same, around $95, which is about the cheapest you can find for that area of town. It was smack in the middle of China Town too which was great because there are tons of great restaurants you can go to if you like Chinese food. It's also just a short cab ride away from several malls. The cabs in Singapore are cheap too so it's not a big deal.

The hotel itself was much cleaner than I thought. The lobby was big enough for you to sit down and not feel crowded by other guests checking in or out. The rooms were tiny, of course, but very clean. They all had a Japanese flavor to them, hence the name of the hotel. The bathroom was tiny with the shower head placed in front of the toilet. The TV was bigger than most hotels of that size and got more channels than the TVs at Fragrance. The only thing I didn't like (other than the size) was the leather like coating on all the mattresses. They didn't use fitted sheets so the bottom sheet slid around a lot and got out of place.

Overall not bad considering the price and location. Prefect for the budget traveller and if you don't mind small spaces.

Noisy

Was several times awaken early in the morning by guests and staff moving around in the corridor outside my room. Furthermore, the warm water in the shower lasted only about three minutes. Stayed for three nights.

great price, small rooms!

Nice clean room, has just what you need for a couple night stay. The rooms are small, so if you have large luggage, it wll be tight. Close to metro. Only draw back is that the whole bathroom is the shower, so bring your flip flops.

Not a bad hotel to stay

I must say the hotel is centrally located in a quiet spot and within easy reach by bus and subway from famous area like China Town, City, Orchard Road and Marina Bay Sands. Eating out is not a problem as they are only a min away. The room floor though is a little bit not clean with sands left behind during my whole stay. There is not even a bed side chest for putting small belongings. Overall, It is a pleasant stay with well response hotel staff. I will still consider next time compare to the price.
