Wow, a Deluxe Double Room with, clearly, ancient decor and a bath tub that looks chipped and dirty, how charming. And can we talk about the air conditioning leaking water? Stability is overrated, I guess. Honestly, I was hoping for at least a courtesy upgrade for my troubles but I just couldn’t get that red-carpet treatment. Disappointing.

The rooms are spacious and offer a decent selection of Asian food right below at Alwadi, particularly handy for those late-night hunger pangs. The proximity to various food markets and grocery shops makes it super convenient for picking up supplies before heading out.

I had a solid two-week stay, and the air conditioning leaked the entire time, resulting in a soggy towel situation. Some fixtures, like the lamps, were covered in dust, and there was this persistent musty smell in the room that wasn't exactly pleasant. Plus, I noticed that the washer and dryer were out of commission. Fortunately, there's a laundromat next door, but it racked up extra costs on my trip. The overall cleaning could use a serious upgrade as well.

I loved the big rooms, but the check-out experience was frustrating.

The hotel had a tour desk that helped me plan city tours efficiently. I made good use of the outdoor pool area. Uncle Nico and Auntie Glenda gave me great advice on local dining spots. The location was convenient to an MRT station. I appreciated the clean environment. The staff promptly addressed my requests, which made the stay enjoyable.

The room felt dated, and the bathroom needed maintenance. I had limited access to tea and coffee facilities, which was a disappointment.

the large frige in the room was great for storing snacks. the bathroom had leaks.

The location was excellent, with quick access to nearby restaurants and public transportation options like the MRT. The staff were very accommodating and friendly. some areas felt quite dated, with minor maintenance issues like a leaking toilet and electrical outlets that needed attention.

The spacious triple room offered a mini fridge which was handy for snacks. We enjoyed the large pool and indulged in delicious local eats nearby. The staff impressed us with their discipline and attentiveness throughout our stay.

My wife says that the room ventilation could use improvement.

i recently stayed at the 81 and was super impressed! the deluxe double room was spacious and comfortable, making my time in singapore pleasant. it was also conveniently located near several food options and a short walk to the nearby mrt station.

some amenities felt dated and needed maintenance.

Can just recommend for short visits

Spacious room, comfortable bed, with convenient access to the nearby MRT station that is about a 10-minute walk away, and the availability of free wi-fi enhances the overall stay experience.

Absolutely satisfied

Spacious and comfortable rooms with a great location near various dining options and public transport. Enjoyed the nice pool area and the value for the price, especially when booked well in advance. the neglected cleanliness and limited amenities, like only a few towels provided and poor staff interactions, left much to be desired.

Clean rooms daily, lovely pool to relax by, and super friendly staff who are always ready to help. The location is perfect, right near local food spots like Putu Piring next door. Internet worked great too.

Convenient location with spacious rooms

I spent 4 nights here, and the location was perfect for exploring Singapore, just a short walk to the Paya Lebar MRT. The room was spacious and had a mini fridge, which was handy for snacks and drinks. I would have loved to see a proper bathing soap instead of just shower gel.
