Staying at this hotel, you have to think rationally. This hotel is a hotel that is cheap, provides facilities not only to sleep for fun. The hotel staff was very friendly, helped us in many ways. We came in a ragged condition, because we were from traveling in KL, and use the train. Once arrived in singapore, we only think... More

Only needed to stay in Singapore for the nightk so I picked this hotel because it was cheap. I found the hotel old and lacking character but it was clean, quiet, air conditioning, wifi and shower worked and the bed was ok. The reception staff were helpful with advice. It might turn a few people off that it is in... More

We only wanted to stay in Singapore for two nights because our flight from Perth came in at 3am and the connection to Manila was not until 3am the following day. As we did not fancy sleeping in the airport we looked for a cheap hotel which we could check into around 4am and able to check out around 11pm... More

The Geylang district is a good dozen blocks or more of cheap hotels. Basically about all of them are more or less" by the hour hotels". Yet there are many bargain hunters like me that will use them too. I checked the lowest price of a "normal" hotel and it was the Ibis, which is often a tiny box anyway,... More

Smack bang on the busiest street for ugly hookers & home to Lorong 18, dominated by houses with red light bulbs is this strategically placed hotel is perfectly positioned for business. The Standard rooms, their bathrooms & tv’s are small. A window facing the back sets it apart from refugee accommodation. The aircon & hot water work well & most... More

I dont understand how anybody can give more than one star to this hotel, it is not far from center, ok, it is cheap, ok, BUT there are hookers everywhere which use hotel rooms for work, so you can imagine what was going in your bed just one day ago!!! If I read this in reviews I never ever book... More

This hotel is a nice option for travelers who don't want to stay in a hostel or dorm-like rooms, who are in a tight budget, and don't like the idea of sharing bathrooms with strangers. The vicinity of the hotel becomes alive at night, since it's located in the red light district. No one will bother you, but here's a... More

Hotel 81 Star is located in a very convenient place and this is truly a plus point. If you’re coming from the Airport, just take MRT from Changi Airport Terminal 2 and it will hardly take you 20 minutes for the ride. Drop off at Aljunied MRT which is the closest MRT station. From there you have 02 options. Wither... More
