Rooms are clean but Tiny!

The location of this Hotel is great, right next to the underground station, a Shopping Mall and in the bustling China Town. Lots of places to eat around there. If you are bothered about traffic noise in the mornings then this is not the place for you. Rooms are clean, however they are tiny! There is barely room to walk around the bed let alone any space to put your suitcase. If you are travelling alone, this is fine but if you are sharing a room with someone, I would not recommend it. The bathroom is a wet room, so the shower is right next to the toilet so everything in there gets wet. This place is budget friendly and fine if you are only there for one or two nights and on your own.

Small cramped room, mold in the shower, nearly 300.00 for just 2 nights, didnt even have a window, and the walls were extremely thin, dirty air conditioner, old scratched up furniture. But the staff were lovely and very accommodating, and the location is good as well.

Absolutely loved the location in the middle of Chinatown. Step out of the lobby and a great mall was across the street. Only a short distance to our favorite outdoor restaurant. The staff were all kind, cheerful and treated us as close family. The room was extremely tiny. Maybe 10' x 10', but who needs more? We were there to only sleep at night and a midday rest. We will definitely stay here again if we are fortunate enough to return to Singapore. Thank you Hotel 81!!

Great location adequate accommodations.

This building is probably well over 100 years old. The location is fantastic, right in the heart of Chinatown. Plenty of shopping malls. Great food, public transit right around the corner however, the rooms are Tiny. These are bare bones accommodations. That said, for the price this was Excellent. The people that work here obviously take great pride. The building is clean inside and out. There are no offensive smells anywhere in the building. For the price I highly recommend.

The room that I had for the price per night is not worth it…it wasn’t mentioned that the room has no windows and no shower…the shower is in the toilet…and the room is very small and had very old furniture….the beddings were clean…but it’s probably overpriced for 427 Canadian dollars for 2 nights. Only good thing is walkable to some tourists attractions. Amenities in the room is very poor.
