This hotel is typical of budget hotels in Singapore with small rooms and no windows at all. I requested one with window. We were given a small room with window that can't be opened and even covered with pieceof wood. There is not much space to move around. The toilet is likewise small. Toilet bowl and shower next to each... More

Made last minute reservations here. Good thing they had vacancies despite an international convention in Singapore. it is very near Chinatown. Wifi is ok but a pass issued expires in 24 hours which means u have to go down to the lobby to get another pass. Our room was at the 5th floor but the elevator is only up to... More

I had to make a last minute reservation for Singapore and this was one of the convenient hotels considering the prices and location. However, the room was tiny, didn't have a window, and as it was a smoking room had a heavy smell of smoke (I don't smoke by the way). Although I have read some bad comments about the... More

The good thing about this hotel only its free wifi with very high speed quality, the cold AC and the location. Price too high for the room. The room is so small and smoking-smell. Not very clean. The bathroom is so small. I don't think I will be back there. :(

The Hotel 81 Chain provides reasonable prices for a budget hotel in Sinagpore, a very expensive town. the one in Chinatown is a little more expesive, but still a reasonable price inSingapore for a clean safe hotel. The location in Chinatown is fun. You can walk the streets very easily. the room itself is tiny, and the shower is not... More

Chose the hotel because of the location and the fact this is one of the few hotels in Chinatown within price range that has elevators and windows. Matched expectation although the toilet/shower can be a bit cleaner.

I guess im not really into backpacking (or wasn't in the right mindframe) So fled from the backpackers to Hotel 81 Chinatown around the corner. The room was clean. Not so much space but if your out and about in the day it doesn't really matter. T.V provided with aircon. Small Bathroom and joint toilet. Clean. I guess I still... More

Have spent several times at the various Hotel 81 locations. Their China town location is very handy to China town (a must for new visitors) and is close to the MRT which will bring your anywhere in Singapore.
