What guests think

At Hotel 81 Palace - NEWLY RENOVATED, guests highlight clean updated rooms and friendly staff, plus walkable bus or MRT access, while opinions diverge on the red‑light area, hallway noise, firm beds, and occasional maintenance or Wi‑Fi issues.

Rooms are tiny with minimal storage; many are windowless, and the combined toilet–shower often leaves the bathroom floor wet. The Geylang setting offers plentiful, low-cost eateries and decent links to the National Stadium and airport, though several travelers felt the area is not ideal for families. Overall, expect a clean, budget-friendly base with trade‑offs in space and surroundings.

The area has a lot of hotels with 81 in the name … might be a little tricky to find. The location is in the red light district and particularly the Main Street has a lot of little shops and men hanging around. The location is close to the Mountbatten metro stop on the circle line and aljuneid on the green line (Mountbatten is a safer feeling area). The room was adequate with good water pressure and a separate faucet for filtered water. You can hear the shower and hair dryer if used by neighbors but could not hear any outside noise. There is no breakfast offered at the hotel and the surrounding area is mostly seafood. But good jumping off point to other parts of the country via metro. Overall, nice place for a few nights.

Chose this hotel for the price, AC and wifi, all of which were perfectly reliable and well suited. The rooms were clean and nice, the beds relatively new and comfortable. I spent 2 weeks here and really can't complain (which is a compliment of the highest rank in my culture).

The room was very clean and up to date. It was small, but exactly as advertised -- pay attention to the dimensions in the description and you won't be surprised. The staff were very helpful. The area arpund has lots of great restaurants. 10 minute walk to Aljunied MRT station and 5 minute walk to great bus connections. Great restaurants all around. It is in the red light district. There is no obvious signage, no street solicitation, no one handing out pamphlets or things like that If you're looking for a clean, up-to-date room in an interesting area that's small but cheap, this is a decent choice. I will stay there again.

Recently renovated so everything new in the room. Pretty small room but functional. Dirty floor when I checked in. Housecleaning came and swept up but clearly they don't mop the floors, which should be done daily. I cleaned it myself with the floor towel and was filthy once I'd finished. Safe didn't work but was fixed swiftly by the manager. The reception staff very friendly and attentive. Well located for transport into the city. Plenty of eating places around the hotel

Das Hotel hält das was es verspricht. Die Lage ist gut. Man hat gute Anbindung zu den Bussen. Die nächste Metrostation befindet sich 15 min entfernt und fährt direkt zum Flughafen. Das Zimmer war bei Ankunft sauber. Während des Aufenthalts erfolgte keine Reinigung. Es wurden jedoch täglich die Betten neu bezogen und die Handtücher getauscht. Die Klimaanlage war angenehm. In der Nacht gab es immer wieder laute Brumm Geräusche. Leider sind die Türen etwas dünn. Geräusche vom Flur hat man daher schnell wahrgenommen. Trotzdem ein super Hotel für das Budget.

Rooms

Rooms are very small with minimal storage, and many lack windows. Modernized interiors help, but thin walls, firm mattresses, occasionally loud A/C, and wet-room bathrooms that leave floors soaked are recurring comments.

Greit rent, men lite rom. Bra klimaanlegg. Anbefales om du bare har tenkt å sove på rommet, veldig liten plass til å oppholde seg utover sengen. Badet var meget lite og ingen dusjnisje, så alt ble vått der inne. I Singapores red light district, så om man finner tilnærmingerav den typen ubehagelig så anbefales det å ta en uber til døren.

Great value for the price. Our room was extremely small and had no window, so not really for the claustrophobic type. It’s a great place if you just need a ‘base camp’ for a nice, comfortable bed and shower. We would use this hotel again.

I appreciated staff member Jay's service, the filtered drinking water, strong water pressure, hard yet comfy bed, safe, and waterkettle, and convenient location near MRT. However, I was less pleased with Internet not working anymore three (!!) times, after which I gave up; only 6 tv channels most of which were local and/or not in English, the ultra thin walls, so that noisy neighbours kept me from sleeping, so I had to urge them to "please be quiet", the small sized room, and the shower causing the whole bathroom floor to get wet after use

Filtered drinker water is available. Very good water pressure and hot water system was excellent. Great service by friendly staff Mr. Jay. There was only 1 sachet of tea and one sachet of coffee provided. I would recommend to provide a few more sachets. Overall a great private room in a central location.

The hotel was great, we had a nice experience. Downtown id very accessible, you can take a bus on the main street and pay with your credit card. However, keep in mind that the neighborhood is bad. Very crowded and dirty. Feels like you're in a souk. So i recommend spending 1-2 days there and staying downtown all day.

I was travelling across East Asia and Singapore was one of my stops. A lady I met in Bangkok from SG was a little worried I had booked this place because it’s in a red light district. I really wouldn’t let this bother you. The place felt safe, even at night. Plenty of bus routes close by. The taxi wasn’t too expensive either (I used grab) costing around £10-15 per trip. It’s only 20 minutes away from the airport. The hotel was always clean and smelt nice. Rooms had all the basic amenities you’d expect. The bathroom situation was a little interesting as it had a shower room with the toilet and sink literally next to it. Be prepared to wet everything! In summary, for the price compared to other hotels in Singapore, it was worth it.

I think a lot of people will be turned off by the businesses that directly surround this hotel, specifically the "red numbers." However, I found the area to be very pleasant once I got passed that. The food in the area is about 1/10th of the price of restaurants downtown and the quality is fantastic. The people are extremely friendly and courteous. As a white American I stood out like a sore thumb and felt very safe and welcomed. The train to get downtown is still a short walk away and very easy to access and not difficult to understand if you put in the slightest effort. I personally preferred my experience in the geylang and kallang neighborhoods over the tourist areas. This is true Singapore without the corporate money-leeching that the tourist traps downtown offer. Make of it what you will. If I were to return to Singapore I'd look in this area again
