Needed a room for a one night transit in Singapore. Should've spent more. Spent a listless night in a cramped room that smelled of mildew. Reception was tired and almost rude. There are other places.

A family friend booked this hotel for me so I didn't know what to expect. I'm a pretty easy going guy but on the way from the airport, when the taxi driver asked me where I was staying and I told him, he proceeded to ask if I like Vietnamese girls.??? Right there and then, I knew this hotel was... More

Absolutely garbage! Never stay there. The staff is absolutely rude and impudent. Firstly they charged my card twice and refused to refund. Instead of $500 they changed me $1000. I was forced to call the bank to cancel the transaction. The room was in poor condition, the condition was leaking.

we went to Singapore twice, Dec 2010 and 2nd time recently. Last year we stayed in this hotel for 3days. Room too small, but we have no choice since 81 Tristar fully booked that time. If you looking for bigger room with budget cost, recommended to go to 81 Tristar family room compared to 81 Joo Chiat. Halal food is... More

Thought we had to pay $98 AUS D for 2 nights--good rate. later credit card charge showed $134 AUS D. $35 too much as room was windowless & perfect size if you were a leprechaun. Desk clerk really helpful, staff good. Barely adequate for the price. Actually that would be my rating: barely adequate.

Had I known what kind of place it is I would not have stayed there. I had heard that Hotel81 is a chain of decent budget hotels in Singapore and booked it online. There are many things wrong with the place: 1. Too far away from MRT (nearest trainstation is 2.5-3 km paya lebar) 2. Location close to red light... More

The room size is too small. It is very difficult to move around the room. Moreover, the location of the Hotel is such odd that either you can take a taxi or to board a bus or take a train you need to walk for at least 15 min. It is very near to Red light area GAYLAND, that too... More
