The internet isn't even fast enough for a Skype call. I stayed here weeks. The rooms are small, and cramped. It is a budget hotel, but there are better ones.

Staffs unfriendly, unhelpful and doesnt smile. Even the Manager. Coming from a Hospitality Background, I believe the Star Rating of the Hotel shouldnt effect the Service Quality. Smile more. And be MORE Attentive to the needs of Guest. Rather than the TV that is being switched on at the Lobby. I am considering looking for other alternatives if I choose... More

We had booked in advance for 3 nights and arrived very tired in the middle of the night. We unpacked and changed and then went into the bathroom to brush our teeth. I had noticed a large dripping noise earlier but assumed a tap had been left running. The bathroom ceiling had three serious leaks. It was not raining. These... More

Our stay at Hotel 81 Orchid was very good, Arrived at 1:30 am to friendly staff. We enjoyed the location with plenty of shops and restaurants close by. A 5 minute walk to the MRT (Kellang) puts you close to anywhere in Singapore. The staff were always helpful with information and directions, they even looked information up on the internet... More

This was unfortunately our third choice in Geylang. Not fussy travellers we had passed on the first two accommodations we had taken a look at due to things such as blood on the walls etc. We stumbled upon Hotel 81 Orchid and while it was better than our first few options, it was nothing to brag about. As others have... More

I chose this hotel based on what I had seen on I think either agoda.com, or just by viewing the hotels' actual website (can't remember which I did though). Either way, I made a number of visits to Singapore solely for the purpose of obtaining a visa for Thailand and each time I went to the country, and after choosing... More

Hotel 81 Orchid is one of the many franchises of the Hotel 81 group of hotels. I chose this hotel for our family vacation because of its higher rating compared to its other Hotel 81 counterparts. True enough, i am satisfied with the service provided by the hotel. We had free wifi and our room was cleaned daily with fresh... More

In choosing a hotel to stay at, especially when traveling on a budget with hubby and 2 grownup kids, i usually consider three important things. One- should have earned generally good reviews, two- rate per night for a family room and three- proximity to the nearest transport station. In the case of Singapore, it should not be more than 10...

I stayed with my family at this hotel from 19th to 20th September this year.This hotel is a good buy at SGD 51.00 (via Agoda) if you don't mind staying in the red-light district of the city. Location is good, near to major shopping areas and not too far from the Universal Studios, Casino, Boat Quay, Clarke Quay and the... More
