81 Star is about 5-10 minute walk from Arjunied MRT station, or a SGD10 ride away from Clarke Quay. There are shops, restaurants and convenience stores nearby on the main Geelang road. Also nearby (opposite the hotel) are about six (legal) brothels – but as has been written by previous reviewers, this does not really impact hotel guests - all... More

I stayed here for 3 nights for university search in Singapore. This hotel has clean and minimalist room, fit for me who stayed alone. But don't expect much about the service,they just serve basic needs. Geylang area isn't good for family trip who bring young childrens,only fit for solo traveler or couple. :)

Recently stayed at this property during a 12 hour layover in Singapore. I knew what to expect, as I had stayed at similar hotels previously. Good choice for overnight stopover, as clean and for $50, you can't go wrong. Plenty of ladies of the night in the street where its located, but they don't bother you unless you make contact....

I booked this hotel as a 1 night stopover based on the price and reviews. Wasn't quite sure what to expect as many reviews made note of the red light district, however was pleasantly suprised. After arriving late due to a delayed flight, our taxi driver took us straight there, no issue in regards to locating the hotel. The gentleman... More

I did not know that the area (Geylang) was Prostitution Capital of Singapore when I booked the hotel. There were loads of women on the street, accosting me as a single male traveller, and I did not enjoy the experience. This hotel lets hookers in, so it's not a suitable hotel for tourists to use. The staff is not particularly... More

This place is about as cheap as we could find in Singapore (which is alot more than other parts of SE Asia). We had heard that the area it is in is the red light district of Singapore but that it was safe enough and we didnt have much choice as most budget places are here. When we arrived at... More

The hotel is located in Gaylang (they say it is the red light district of Singapore). But I guess the area is not that bad, still safe. You can find many affordable hotels in the area. Hotel 81 is just the right choice. The receptionist was accomodating. The room is clean, comfort room with complete toiletries. TV and free wifi.... More

Real simple, budget hotel for travelers out there. Recommendable for solo traveler who does not spend much on hotel and just need a near-decent place to rest. I doubt to recommend for couple travelers, it might be not fun for two. Bathroom is 2 out of 5 with traces of hard-to-clean dirt. Wi-fi is available for a cost.
