I relied on previous reviews of this hotel and chose it for its location and relative price. I was aware that my booking did not include breakfast, but did not realize that the hotel did not even have a coffee shop. But I felt short-changed when I found out that the front of a hotel was the noisy site of... More

This review is long overdue but I believe that it is one way of helping other travelers decide on which hotels to stay in esp. when going to another country, so here it is.:) My husband and I stayed here in March 2011. We were hesitant to book this hotel at first because of the reputation of the hotel 81... More

THE BAD: Only one front desk staff member was helpful, all others clearly didn't want to deal with people. Cleaning staff were so noisy in the early morning didn't need an alarm.... More

Good location close to MRT Circle line. Rooms are small and not very clean. Felt cramped. Bed was hard and sleep wasn't very comfortable. There are other places - i should have known better. More

This is standard accommodation that you get for that amount of money in Singapore. So, I didn't expect much right from the start. But the reality was even worse than my low expectations. Rooms are tiny and stinky. Walls are covered with mold. Windows can't be opened and you won't even want to do that as the view is just... More

... for one or two nights, it's ok. For longer, no thanks. Not really that good price, considering what you get. Rooms are very small, windows can't be opened, there is a construction site just outside the hotel. The beds are hard, the room wasnt't good cleaned. On the good side: the staff is friendly and helpful, and the location... More
