This is an old and not very well updated hotel. Not possible to adjust the aircon temperature in the room: call reception every time you put the key in the holder, and they will change the default temp which is too cold. Woke up several times during the night due to the cold - the selected higher temperature on the room thermostat had no effect, which I only learned the next morning. No extra blanket. No fridge in the room, the shower has no curtain so all of the toilet/wash basin/bathroom gets soaked. Window cannot open for fresh air. Noisy guests.
Best to avoid the place if you can.

No no and no
One of the worst hotels I’ve stayed in for a long time. Hotel cleanliness is non existent. Room and bathroom in particular was dirty - hair on the wall in the drains and in the sink. Very bad cleanliness. Small room. Damp smell. For the price that they charge there are much better options in this area. Don’t waste your money. This hotel needs and update asap. Value hotel better option after I changed to stay there.

Too cold and when I stop aircon heavy condensation in the room. It was uncomfortable
Verified traveler
Poor service
Pretty sure the person sold our room to someone else despite it already being paid for as we checked in late around midnigjt, ended up having to wait half an hour for another room.
YEON UNG
The room size is small in an old building, but it is close to the city, so it is good to access various tourist attractions. A convenience store and a 24-hour restaurant are right next door, and the hawker center is also nearby, so it's good for a meal.

DIRTY WORN OUT HOTEL❗❗
Worn Out, Dusty room all over, hard mattress & too soft pillows. I feel it's time the Management does something in improving guests comfort. Upkeep of rooms is getting worst
Ricky
Nice and easy
Place is nice and close to CBD. Very accessible and close to eateries. I would recommend the place for short staycation.

Small hotel, stay there a night while waiting for my arrival PCR test result. Near amenities especially lots of eateries around
Lakshan
100% unsatisfied
The most terrible ever stay in my life. Room was fully un-tidy and smelled really bad. Especially the bed. It wasn’t re arranged properly and the bedsheets haven’t renewed after previous customer left out. Washroom was really wet and and not cleaned. Towels were also wet I guess they provided the same towels from previous customer. It was provided with only one water bottle for queen size double bed room. 100% unsatisfied.

Substandard accommodation with cigarette smell in the rooms which can be a trouble. The hotel definitely has a shady set of customers dropping by which makes it very awkward for the family members.

Fine stay.
Room was ok.. Wall too thin occasion noise keep disrupting the sleep. Bed is ok but need change as it made noise when moved about. Limited parking space (3 for entire hotel).
Overly priced during festive season. 150% higher than normal.

The room was okay. However the aircon could not be turned off and the beds were making lots of sounds when we move around. The bed linen kept coming out too. It was irritating.
Verified traveler
Quite an enjoyable experience
The staff there is rather friendly and apart from the showerhead and the electric kettle not functioning well, everything else was fine. The room is clean and very organized when we got there, nothing seems out of place.

Smoky smell
Room smell too smoky, prefer better fragrance, better add some good air conditioning

Floor and bedsheets a little dirty
The floor and bed sheets were a little dirty. Place is run down. Overall not my most enjoyable stay. The location is good, which is all this place has going for itself.
Verified traveler
Ok for a short stay.
Easy access to the food court and public transport e.g teksi.

Uncomfortable bed, mouldy smell
It's not the best. The bed was really hard and uncomfortable and the smell in the whole hotel of mould is really overpowering. There are lots of budget hotels around for the same price and they do look much nicer.
Verified traveler
The room is too small and too shabby for the price. Considering we saw reviews saying this is the best branch among hotel 81 chain of hotels, it would do you good never to book this hotel.

Excellence service
The hotel staff was friendly and their service was excellence when i arrived the room was not that comfort and they assure me that they will get a better room and in fact I have been changing room 3 times and that is not an issue. As i am very happy to settle with a smoke free,clean and spacious room. The most important is that they honor their words and take good care of the customer.
They are lots of local food just near by and transportation on bus and taxis was not a problem.
Yes I will introduce this hotel to my friends and i sure to stay in this hotel again.

There are terrible service and staff. The chubby staff with glasses should respect customers. Do not be rude. You are under service industry, should know how to respect people.

Dans la zone des hôtels en rapport qualité prix correct vu les prix pratiqués à Singapour. Si vous prenez la chaîne d'hôtels 81, favoriser toujours les \"standarts hôtels 81 premier\" et mieux encore avec chambre deluxe.
