This was one of the hotels I stayed in as part of my survey of budget hotels. I liked it better than the Hotel 81 Opera, which is diagonally across Joo Chiat Road, because the oddly shaped room did not feel claustraphobic even though it didn't have a window; it seemed more spacious. There is another Hotel 81 called Changi... More

This is my Singapore's home-away-from-home. It may not have everything but it's good enough for me. It's located in the area where Vietnamese food is to be found easily. Karaoke lounges are everywhere and this is where men would come and meet their ladies of the night. Thus, Hotel 81 is at the right location to cater for such needs... More

If you have little money to spend on accommodation then this would be the hotel chain for you. The only advantage of this hotel is the location as it was very easy to access all parts of Singapore from here and there were plenty of places to eat outside within walking distance. Even though it was classed as being in... More

Stayed there for just a night between arrival from Phnom Penh and going to a Malaysian Island. The room is very small (the small queen size bed and 50 cm around) and a small bathroom. All a little bit run down, not charming at all, like an old hostel. Free Wifi was good. To sleep there for one night it... More

Stayed here due to it's distance to customer's location. It's cheap, rooms are clean, toilets are clean. Adequate for a decent night's sleep. Wifi's FREE, so that great for the price. Rooms are tiny tho, Don't really have any space to do any work on the laptop, other than the bed. As long as you use this hotel just for... More

We had an overnight (6 hours total) stay in Singapore, so we opted for something cheap, clean and close to the airport. Little did we know what we were getting ourselves in for!! Upon check is, we hear a loud argument, then a lady half naked runs into the lobby arguing with a man about 'payment'. Check in staff barely... More

This hotel is probably one of the better ones in this area, Geylang / Joo Chiat. Even so, to me nothing special. Room is very small, basically a bed and a bathroom. Hardly any space for sitting / walking. View from the window reminds me of a depressing labour class area, with nothing to look forward to. The other hotels... More

Me and my friend went on a week's trip to Singapore and were looking for a budget hotel, instead of a backpacker's inn. Hotel 81 Sakura fits the bill... The good things are 1) clean rooms 2) service is not great but good enough 3) Free wi-fi 4) The toilets and bathrooms are clean. 5) Old architectural style. 6) Get... More

I had an unplanned overnight stay in Singapore due to an issue with long haul flight from UK to New Zealand, as a consequence this hotel was booked at the last minute. Hotel 81 Sakura was fine for what I needed, a clean bed with a shower, I wasnt expecting much considering the price I paid (booked through Expedia) and... More
