Staff are really helpful and friendly. I recommend it very much if you are looking for a hotel in Singapore

10/10 Exceptional

I liked the spacing of the room and bathroom. However the shower went colder from warm .
Carlwyn, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room size is small in an old building, but it is close to the city, so it is good to access various tourist attractions. A convenience store and a 24-hour restaurant are right next door, and the hawker center is also nearby, so it's good for a meal.

Too cold and when I stop aircon heavy condensation in the room. It was uncomfortable
MADOKA, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

No no and no

One of the worst hotels I’ve stayed in for a long time. Hotel cleanliness is non existent. Room and bathroom in particular was dirty - hair on the wall in the drains and in the sink. Very bad cleanliness. Small room. Damp smell. For the price that they charge there are much better options in this area. Don’t waste your money. This hotel needs and update asap. Value hotel better option after I changed to stay there.
James, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Poor service

Pretty sure the person sold our room to someone else despite it already being paid for as we checked in late around midnigjt, ended up having to wait half an hour for another room.
1-night trip

4/10 Fair

This is an old and not very well updated hotel. Not possible to adjust the aircon temperature in the room: call reception every time you put the key in the holder, and they will change the default temp which is too cold. Woke up several times during the night due to the cold - the selected higher temperature on the room thermostat had no effect, which I only learned the next morning. No extra blanket. No fridge in the room, the shower has no curtain so all of the toilet/wash basin/bathroom gets soaked. Window cannot open for fresh air. Noisy guests. Best to avoid the place if you can.
Gerrit Jan, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Dans la zone des hôtels en rapport qualité prix correct vu les prix pratiqués à Singapour. Si vous prenez la chaîne d'hôtels 81, favoriser toujours les "standarts hôtels 81 premier" et mieux encore avec chambre deluxe. Restaurants partout. Metro à 15 minutes à pied

DIRTY WORN OUT HOTEL❗❗

Worn Out, Dusty room all over, hard mattress & too soft pillows. I feel it's time the Management does something in improving guests comfort. Upkeep of rooms is getting worst

Good location

Small hotel, stay there a night while waiting for my arrival PCR test result. Near amenities especially lots of eateries around
LEILEI, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

100% unsatisfied

The most terrible ever stay in my life. Room was fully un-tidy and smelled really bad. Especially the bed. It wasn’t re arranged properly and the bedsheets haven’t renewed after previous customer left out. Washroom was really wet and and not cleaned. Towels were also wet I guess they provided the same towels from previous customer. It was provided with only one water bottle for queen size double bed room. 100% unsatisfied.

HUA, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Substandard accommodation with cigarette smell in the rooms which can be a trouble. The hotel definitely has a shady set of customers dropping by which makes it very awkward for the family members.

Fine stay.

Room was ok.. Wall too thin occasion noise keep disrupting the sleep. Bed is ok but need change as it made noise when moved about. Limited parking space (3 for entire hotel). Overly priced during festive season. 150% higher than normal.

6/10 Good

The room was okay. However the aircon could not be turned off and the beds were making lots of sounds when we move around. The bed linen kept coming out too. It was irritating.
Diana, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Quite an enjoyable experience

The staff there is rather friendly and apart from the showerhead and the electric kettle not functioning well, everything else was fine. The room is clean and very organized when we got there, nothing seems out of place.
