The room was modern and clean. But there was one major problem. The location of the toilet in the bathroom was ridiculous. The bathroom was small, as expected. But the toilet was in an area that was too small for someone with broad shoulders. I'm 6-foot-2, so my shoulders are wide. And I couldn’t sit straight on the toilet. I had to angle my shoulders. My hips barely fit between the shower glass and the wall. If you are a tall man, you may have issues with the bathroom.

The rest of the room was nice. The staff were great, friendly and courteous. The area is a little rough. And it's about a 15-min walk to the metro station. It takes about 45 minutes to an hour to get to any of the major attractions. So not the best location. Although there are plenty of restaurants within walking distance.

Overall it's a decent stay for the price. Singapore is quite expensive. If you're on a budget, it's not a bad option. But if you can afford it, I would say that the Chinatown area would a better choice.

It was a good choice for the location and the amenities around the hotel. Lots of shops, restaurants, laundromats, bus services, bike sharing rental, and 10-15 minutes walk to the subway station.
Staff was friendly and immediately responded to my needs. The bedroom and bathroom were quite small and I could hear noises from the other rooms and hallway. Nothing too disruptive though, and the nights were quiet. The bed was comfortable with a good firm mattress which was perfect for me.

decent hotel, but cartoonishly small bathrooms

It was a fairly nice 2-star hotel. Because they admit they're a 2-star I'd like to give them a 5-star review, but I can't.. See, I understand things in Asia might happen to be slightly smaller in some instances because Asians tend to be (emphasis on tend to be, because I've seen some big Asians in my life!) somewhat smaller than Western people - especially us big Americans -- which I am admittedly large myself.. But that bathroom was SUPER tiny! I've been all around Asia, whether it be public restrooms or hotel restrooms or the like, and I've NEVER had such a tight squeeze using the can in my entire life! Again, this includes Asia!.. To think that the designer of that building was like, \"This'll work!\" is preposterous!.. Come on, guys.. Really, come on... Lol

This property is definitely budget friendly. The walls arent sound proof so sleeping in late was difficult. Even though I had a do not disturb sign on my door I didnt get the two bottles of water everyday. I needed a room change since the tub didnt have a liner on it or a door. Besides that the tub was old and parts were rusty. The tiles were dirty in the room. The outlet to charge your phone was very far. There was no problem changing the room. That was a plus for me. Would I stay there again no.

The location was OK. About 10-15 mins walk to MRT. Close to restaurants and shops. We would prefer a bit closer to the City, cleaner surrounding though.
We tried to contact the Hotel 81 via email on many occasions before flying to Singapore without any replies.
After settling into the Hotel, we found out that the bar fridge had no freezer, and asked the staff (evening shift, male staff) whether we could possibly use the staff fridge to freeze a small ice block that's used to keep our medication and eye drops cool on the road. His reply was unfriendly, a straight NO. Other staff are good and helpful.
Communication and attitude are important to customer service. It makes a big different to how people feel about their stay in the hotel and in Singapore.

Avoid this Hotel 81 Premier Hollywood

I would recommend avoiding this hotel at all cost. We booked two rooms at this Hotel 81 Premier Hollywood for 4 nights but decided to check out after the first night. The room is small. The bathroom only has shampoo dispenser, towels and nothing else. The location is bad. It is in the red light district and a brothel is 3 houses away. The alley leads to the hotel is dark. My son and daughter who are adults literally told me to check out after their walk to buy some stuff at nearby 7-11. They don't feel safe at all. In addition, the internet is slow. Download speed is 1.1x Mbps. We stayed in the 5th floor and it is noisy all the time from conversation of other guests walking outside my room. It happened at mid night and even at 6am.

When we told the front desk our horrible experience and asked for early checkout, they charged us a penalty fee of one night. So we only got back 2 nights payment and also get charged an additional 6% credit card cost. That is their cancelation policy.

I did contact Hotels.com agent for this matter and ask for their support but they replied that they cannot help.

Stay away from this place, The staff will go out of their way to scam you.

We had booked 2 rooms, and both rooms maximum occupancy was listed as 3, so we could bring a total of 6. We had 5. 2 in one room, and 3 in another. As of April 05 2022 the rooms still show occupancy of 3 here on the Expedia website.

Unfortunately, when we arrived to check in, the staff are scammers and refused to honour the booking and attempted to extort us for a 3rd room, refusing to let us check in unless we paid for a third room.

This of course, was completely unacceptable and we refused to book a third room. they then refused to let us check in.

We ended up having service refused and went to another hotel, the Serangoon House, part of the Marriott Bonvoy hotel chain, where the experience was excellent.

So don't waste your time, and don't pay these scammers a dime, stay somewhere else. Avoid this place at all costs.

I'm a fellow hijabi & had booked this hotel for the convenience of going to National Stadium. Ngl,it was so cringy for me to go in & out of the entrance during my stay but it wasn't that bad at all.

We got home midnight after the concert and still feel safe. No suspicious activities and you can see fellow concert goer too. The hotel is literally behind the NS. Very close. But I must say, the room isn't soundproof. We can hear everything outside. The room is super small. The toilet is tiny. Of coz it's a 3star hotel so the standard of blanket and bedsheet is very questionable. But I don't mind.

Last time for those non-smoking rooms, I won’t smell any cigarette smell. But on this recent stay, I smelled cigarette smell coming from other non-smoking rooms. As it is an air conditional place, the smoke from other rooms could spread and stayed for quite long time. Difficult to breathe as I am a non-smoker. Then, I found out that most of the rooms now are those Malaysian workers that are on SHN. Hotel should advice the hotel guests on the rules and regulations of the hotel. If fail to do so will face penalties. Like this can maintain a peaceful and healthy environment for all the other hotel guests in this hotel.
