The area has a lot of hotels with 81 in the name … might be a little tricky to find. The location is in the red light district and particularly the Main Street has a lot of little shops and men hanging around. The location is close to the Mountbatten metro stop on the circle line and aljuneid on the green line (Mountbatten is a safer feeling area).
The room was adequate with good water pressure and a separate faucet for filtered water. You can hear the shower and hair dryer if used by neighbors but could not hear any outside noise.
There is no breakfast offered at the hotel and the surrounding area is mostly seafood. But good jumping off point to other parts of the country via metro.
Overall, nice place for a few nights.
The reception staff was exceptional. They helped with directions and suggestions, and just in general great people. Room was small but clean and sufficient to stay during night and sightsee during day. Is in red-light district, but as a woman, I felt quite safe walking about, even during early evening. It's all very low key.
Property was recently renovated so very nice, clean and comfortable. Surrounding area very convenient to an ATM, stores, food, but area is more adult friendly.
I was travelling across East Asia and Singapore was one of my stops. A lady I met in Bangkok from SG was a little worried I had booked this place because it’s in a red light district. I really wouldn’t let this bother you. The place felt safe, even at night. Plenty of bus routes close by. The taxi wasn’t too expensive either (I used grab) costing around £10-15 per trip. It’s only 20 minutes away from the airport.
The hotel was always clean and smelt nice. Rooms had all the basic amenities you’d expect. The bathroom situation was a little interesting as it had a shower room with the toilet and sink literally next to it. Be prepared to wet everything!
In summary, for the price compared to other hotels in Singapore, it was worth it.
I liked the location, variety of shops, great bus transport. Room is a little on the small size, but has all I needed.

This is the “rough” part of Singapore, but also the most charming and affordable. Great food, safe, different.

Basically like an Ibis. Little service or quality. Simple and does the trick. The bed was comfortable and the a/c worked well. The bathroom was not great.
The room was small but adequate. Everything about the place was spotless clean. It’s a little out of the city but you can take a taxi to the neatest station which is Mountbatten.
No hairdryer!
Great location to get to the trains and buses. The only con I would say is the rooms are small. I was a solo traveller and it was difficult to keep my suitcase open and navigate through the room. Other than that the staff was extremely kind, helpful, and friendly.
New renovated hotel. Great for 1 night stay. Room is very small without a window but clean. Recommend if you just need a place to NAP before the flight. 4 stars!
Recently renovated so everything new in the room. Pretty small room but functional. Dirty floor when I checked in. Housecleaning came and swept up but clearly they don't mop the floors, which should be done daily. I cleaned it myself with the floor towel and was filthy once I'd finished.
Safe didn't work but was fixed swiftly by the manager.
The reception staff very friendly and attentive.
Well located for transport into the city. Plenty of eating places around the hotel
