Nice hotel, quite far from the city. There was a SMRT station nearby, though. The room is very nice and clean. Rather small, but enough for 2 people or 3, at most. There is a tv and a dvd player, too. There was a nice place to sit next to the window, a bit like a narrow table. But I... More

Hotel 81 is a big chain at Singapore but though they offer cheap rate rooms, their hotels are not really the first choice like Ibis. I got this hotel this time because of my travel desk. The hotel is at a very distant location from main city. The difference is huge.one cant even imagine that there would be places like... More

This hotel is located a far distance from the city area. I would not recommend this hotel as traveling to any place is very inconvenience unless you are driving in a car. The only place where I can recommend shopping and eating near this hotel is at Kovan shopping centre which is about 20mins walk from the hotel along upper... More

Located 900m from Kovan station , or $20 from the airport by taxi. A basic hotel with everything needed for a night or two. Check in was strange there were 3 staff on desk talking to each other and we waited 5 minutes before someone acknowledged our lowly existence. Rooms are$129 for a standard. The standard room has no windows,... More

To reach the hotel, get to the purple line and get off at Serangoon station. Take a short bus ride and in less than 5 minutes you should see Hotel 81 Kovan which is beside a small 7-11 store. If you smell a funky odor, you are on the right direction. The smell is coming from the durian store which... More

Pros: Very clean, daily room makeup, good aircon. Cons: Small rooms, no safe, no fridge. MRT ten minutes away, food court and Seven Eleven next door. All the cabbies know where it is. Rooms are often rented for a few hours by local couples, which is probably why the mattresses are vinyl covered. Consequently beds not as comfy as they... More

I was arriving to Singapore this time after midnight. Knowing that Singapore rooms are very small I booked a double room for a few more pounds at hotel 81 Kovan. The taxi driver was surprised that I choose an hotel in a non tourist area, and made me feel a bit uncomfortable with my choice. Once there I was very... More

This hotel is one of the best I've seen in Singapore for budget-minded travelers (of which I am one). The hotel staff and counter crew are very helpful and always friendly and cheerful, and all facilities are in league with the more expensive hotels. Rooms are small, but adequate, and extremely clean, meaning that they "feel" clean and the floors... More

I am staying in Hotel 81 Kovan as I write this review. It is my third night. I could NOT be more pleased. It is clean, quiet, efficient, and inexpensive. The staff has been hospitable and helpful. The rooms are small, but totally adequate. Mine has a window that cover the entire wall, but I realize rooms on the inner... More
