Cleanliness varies widely, with reports ranging from acceptable to issues like dust, lingering odors, stained linens, and occasional ants or cockroaches. Service experiences are divided: several guests found staff friendly and helpful, while others cited inflexible check-in/out and Do Not Disturb breaches. Overall, expect a basic, budget stay best suited to short visits.

駅に近く、交通の便は良かったです。お部屋には窓がなかったですが、照明は明るく良かったです。ただ、洗面台は詰まっていて、水が流れず不便でした。シャワーも洗い場がトイレと同じで少し抵抗がありました。排水が悪いのか臭いもありました。シーツはしっかり洗濯されているようですが、ところどころにシミがありました。また、お掃除はあまり行き届いていないのか枕元には、埃がたくさん溜まっていました。壁が薄いので隣の部屋の声が、はっきり聞こえます。冷房は調節できないので、寒さで目が覚めました。厚手のパジャマ持参をお勧めします。

Habían hormigas y cucarachas pequeñas, las habitaciones olían a humedad. Los ductos y salidas de aire acondicionado estaban sucios. Los baños no tienen ducha independiente, no tienen tacho de basura. El televisor no funciona. Se escucha todo el ruido que hacen los demás huéspedes, en nuestro caso tuvimos noches con niños llorando, personas hablando fuerte, etc. que incomoda al descanso.

There was no window in our room, which made it feel very enclosed and isolated. There was also small ants in the room. We did not see any other bugs than the ants. The bed was hard as well, and the room was small. Exept from that it was okay, but a week there was a bit too long. The food nearby was amazing, there was also walking distance to MRT and shopping centres.

When I arrived, there were muddy footprints in the bathroom leading to the vanity. The bathroom itself needs a good scrub. The air conditioner was too cold and to switch it on / off, you have to call the front desk every time! The extra blanket provided was so old and had holes from cigarette burns. The staff were pleasant enough and I liked the wifi and luggage storage. The best thing about the hotel was the location! So so close to an MRT station and within walking distance to Bugis.

Didn't have a great stay for a few reasons. We stayed on the 60th birthday of Singapore, which made the hotel very busy. The lobby was packed full of people and the staff seemed stressed out. The building is very old and needs a remodel. The bathrooms are very small, where you use the toilet and shower at the same time. Excessive use of bleach to clean the room made my eyes sting. The air con temp was hard to control so I was very cold during the night. I have stayed in a few of the Hotel 81 locations but this was the worst one. I wouldn't stay here again.

You get what you pay for. Ok for a one night stay but wouldn’t recommend more. Staff were friendly and helpful. Close to MRT station. Incredibly basic and not a comfy bed. Noise in the corridors was the loudest I’ve ever experienced. Constant noise up to 12/1am, and then from 6.30-9am.

Had a room without a window. It smelt musty. The room’s air conditioning ducts might need a good clean. The bathroom was a wet room, the layout meant that using the shower wet the whole floor as well as part of the sink and toilet bowl. The sealant on the walls in the bathroom showed signs of mould. However, it was a good location and the reception area looked good. The staff were efficient and helpful. I would certainly consider staying in a Hotel 81 hotel again, but would probably opt for a room with a window.

Aircon in room is not adjustable so when it gets very cold one cannot sleep. Room extremely small and for the room rate it's not worth it. Area around hotel is dirty. People at reception cold and have faces which is unwelcoming. Pay a bit more and stay at better hotels. Reception people are just salary workers but act as if they are hotel owners. Why waste money staying at such places.

I stayed at our hotel for two nights. Maybe because the number of days of stay was short, there was no particular problem because there was an explanation in advance that the bed would not be made at the time of check-in. The room was neither good nor bad, it was a normal room. I think the location is very good because it has good access to multiple stations. The response of the front desk was also very good.

I arrived earlier than the check-in time, and although there were rooms available, the staff made me wait until 12 p.m. before giving me my room. It seemed they were trying to charge me for an additional hourly rate instead of allowing an early check-in.

The location is amazing, close to the subway station. The room for the most part was clean, although it needs a little bit of TLC with all the dusty-looking vents. Be aware that the toilet and the shower room are all connected so when you shower, everything gets wet. The only thing that I did not like was that there isn't a window and it was not indicated when I booked my reservation. I always have to have a window when I book a room because without it, it's depressing and I want to know when it's morning already. But other than that, not too shabby for somewhat of a budget hotel. It was still pretty expensive but I guess that's how it is in Singapore.
