The room that I had for the price per night is not worth it…it wasn’t mentioned that the room has no windows and no shower…the shower is in the toilet…and the room is very small and had very old furniture….the beddings were clean…but it’s probably overpriced for 427 Canadian dollars for 2 nights. Only good thing is walkable to some tourists attractions. Amenities in the room is very poor.

I always stay here when in Singapore. Room just right. Staff excellent. Area around hotel has great food and any shopping you may need. Only improvements would be more tv stations, clean between windows and more electric outlets.

Sorry to say but do not stay in this hotel, the room I had was nothing like the photos, the room was very small. The hotel also had cockroaches which I informed to the staff immediately. I also informed them that I would check out in the morning and the hotel would not agree to give a refund. I booked for three nights and stayed 8 hours only. Do not recommend this hotel

Was just after a place to be able to stay after being out all day for 3 days. Overall Hotel 81 is very well situated and the room has the amenities that I required. Although if you do require a larger bathroom, it is quite tight (no separate shower cube to separate from toilet/sink).

DO NOT STAY HERE. RUN. this is absolutely the worst experience I’ve had in my life and I am not a picky person. The room is like a dungeon. Super humid and there is mold on the ceiling. Hallways stink of cigarettes and there was lot of hair!! On the room floor. There us no toilet paper! Yes you reas that right. Only napkins. The shower is basically on top of the toilet. Sheets were dirty and there was a funny smell in the room, probably from the mold. I was seriously scared that I might get posioned if I stay there for more than a few hours. We had a horrible night and couldn’t sleep but was too late to change hotels. We paid $120 for this hell hole and worse than that when I told them about our experience at the reception, they stared at us and didn’t say a word?!!! Avoid this place at all costs.
