8/10 Very good

This is a very basic hotel. What it lacks in anything in the way of style or extras is made up for by location, location, location. It’s a perfectly fine hotel for those on a budget. It’s a brilliant hotel form walking around most of Singapore city.

10/10 Exceptional

Great location adequate accommodations.
This building is probably well over 100 years old. The location is fantastic, right in the heart of Chinatown. Plenty of shopping malls. Great food, public transit right around the corner however, the rooms are Tiny. These are bare bones accommodations. That said, for the price this was Excellent. The people that work here obviously take great pride. The building is clean inside and out. There are no offensive smells anywhere in the building. For the price I highly recommend.

Hotel 81 in Chinatown is my place of choice. Not to expensive also. I will return when I need a quick and clean place to stay.

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.

8/10 Very good

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).

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.

Horrible. Bed is not comfortable. Blanket is so thin. Dressing table and tv console are dusty as though been years no one cleanup. Bath room so small.

2/10 Poor

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

Brilliant Location Compact Hotel
Its Singapore accommodation on a budget. Room although small and bathroom also compact (even compared to Japan) was good for a few nights if you dont plan spending your days in your room, and why should you. Its a bit dated, it was clean and wasn't noisy so you can get a good nights sleep. The location is brilliant. Close to Lau Pa Sat satay club and fantastic Hawker food markets hidden across the roads in various locations and down in Chinatown (that one was the best). The train station is across the road. I wouldn't hesitate staying again even just for the location. You get what you pay for, so if the Fullerton, Ritz or even Furama are not in your travel budget, but want to get down with great food all around and somewhere to start your exploration then your in the right place. Save some money to spend on all the great food all around.
