the rooms are basic but clean, but as has been stated it is a building site outside and it starts early and goes on till late, the signs say that the station is not going to open till 2017. at the moment they are driving the foundations in so maybe it will get better but not any time soon

Treated with NO RESPECT. Tried to print off our boarding passes at reception and were met with hostility. Manager was dismissive, argumentative, constantly muttering under his breath and waving us away, seeming to forget that he was providing a service to me and my partner. We have traveled all around Asia and no-where have we been met with an attitude... More

I relied on previous reviews of this hotel and chose it for its location and relative price. I was aware that my booking did not include breakfast, but did not realize that the hotel did not even have a coffee shop. But I felt short-changed when I found out that the front of a hotel was the noisy site of... More

This review is long overdue but I believe that it is one way of helping other travelers decide on which hotels to stay in esp. when going to another country, so here it is.:) My husband and I stayed here in March 2011. We were hesitant to book this hotel at first because of the reputation of the hotel 81... More

My husband and I stayed at Hotel 81 Bencoolen in Singapore and it was our first trip to SG . One of the plus points of the hotel is its great and convinient location. There's 7-11 and Kopitiam ( 24 hrs open) right across the hotel and a few meters away is the train station which can take you all... More

THE GOOD: Cheaper than most Singapore hotels. Hint if you do stay here ask for a higher floor due to construction of new subway until 2017. Free WiFi. THE BAD: Only one front desk staff member was helpful, all others clearly didn't want to deal with people. Cleaning staff were so noisy in the early morning didn't need an alarm.... More

Good location close to MRT Circle line. Rooms are small and not very clean. Felt cramped. Bed was hard and sleep wasn't very comfortable. There are other places - i should have known better.

This is standard accommodation that you get for that amount of money in Singapore. So, I didn't expect much right from the start. But the reality was even worse than my low expectations. Rooms are tiny and stinky. Walls are covered with mold. Windows can't be opened and you won't even want to do that as the view is just... More
