Clean, great staff, perfectly functional. Small rooms if you have much luggage (two suitcases plus a daypack is a squeeze). Two people would have to be VERY understanding of each other's needs! Great for a single person though. Awesome location in Chinatown, right next to Chinatown MRT station, which has multiple lines. Lots of buses as well, but that's all over Singapore. No real downsides unless you're a diva.

Hotel 81 in Chinatown is my place of choice. Not to expensive also. I will return when I need a quick and clean place to stay.

This is a very basic hotel. What it lacks in anything in the way of style or extras is made up for by location, location, location. It’s a perfectly fine hotel for those on a budget. It’s a brilliant hotel form walking around most of Singapore city.

Room very small, toilet and shower so close to each other. Room was well kept just run down. Location was amazing however and if it’a purely just to sleep then you’re good. No window either.

Small cramped room, mold in the shower, nearly 300.00 for just 2 nights, didnt even have a window, and the walls were extremely thin, dirty air conditioner, old scratched up furniture. But the staff were lovely and very accommodating, and the location is good as well.

I always stay here when in Singapore. Room just right. Staff excellent. Area around hotel has great food and any shopping you may need. Only improvements would be more tv stations, clean between windows and more electric outlets.

Absolutely loved the location in the middle of Chinatown. Step out of the lobby and a great mall was across the street. Only a short distance to our favorite outdoor restaurant. The staff were all kind, cheerful and treated us as close family. The room was extremely tiny. Maybe 10' x 10', but who needs more? We were there to only sleep at night and a midday rest. We will definitely stay here again if we are fortunate enough to return to Singapore. Thank you Hotel 81!!

Rooms are clean but Tiny!

The location of this Hotel is great, right next to the underground station, a Shopping Mall and in the bustling China Town. Lots of places to eat around there. If you are bothered about traffic noise in the mornings then this is not the place for you. Rooms are clean, however they are tiny! There is barely room to walk around the bed let alone any space to put your suitcase. If you are travelling alone, this is fine but if you are sharing a room with someone, I would not recommend it. The bathroom is a wet room, so the shower is right next to the toilet so everything in there gets wet. This place is budget friendly and fine if you are only there for one or two nights and on your own.

Great location adequate accommodations.

This building is probably well over 100 years old. The location is fantastic, right in the heart of Chinatown. Plenty of shopping malls. Great food, public transit right around the corner however, the rooms are Tiny. These are bare bones accommodations. That said, for the price this was Excellent. The people that work here obviously take great pride. The building is clean inside and out. There are no offensive smells anywhere in the building. For the price I highly recommend.
