“Dont want to come back”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 January 2012

I stayed here with my friends. Not worth the price.
Positive : - It's near MRT station, you just need to walk about 5-10 minutes
- It provides hair dryer, helped us alot when we dont have any place to dry our clothes,we used it.LOL
Negative :
- The room is very small
- You must pay additional charge if u want to use internet and it;s very expensive (while when I'm in Malaysia, the wifi is everywhere though the hotel is cheaper in cost)
- They just give you a bottle of mineral water everyday *very stingy*
- if you are a moslem, it;s very difficult to find halal food here. Better stay in Bugis or Little India.
-The room is smell of cigaretes.very bad

“Hotel 81 heylang review”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 December 2011
2
people found this review helpful

Hotel rooms so small that you don't even get space to place your luggage. you had to put your luggage at doors. No locker in room. Totally unsafe for money holders. no bottle provided for drinking. no smoking. WiFi continuously getting disconnected. Only one user can get net on your WiFi device at a time. no restaurant in hotel. no help in getting information from the hotel guy.. and finally worst of all no help boy. that means they don't have anybody that will help you to carry your luggage to your room. even if u need WiFi code(which changes every day) you need to go personally down to desk and collect it personally. Moral of story if you need small bed for 8o sd then you can go..

Room Tip: dont choose this hotel. no service.. and indians are treated very badly.. they are treated as lookha...

“never again..”

we stayed here for 2 nights 8th/9th november. was horrible.. the bed sheet does not even cover the whole bed?? which was really weird. we found a toenail in our bed which put us off! the bed was as hard as rock, can't open the window, shower pratically on top of the toilet. i guess you get what you pay for, but worth staying somewhere nicer!

“Small room.”

There are better hotels for the rates charged. Quite a distance from MRT station too. Located in a very tame red-light area.

“decent value, decent room”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 November 2011

My room was decently clean and comfortable. A/C worked. Shower had no curtain and hot water lasted under 5 minutes. Water pressure was good. In-room WiFi at S$10 was OK value and worked fine. This is a decent budget place. It has little natural light and the windows do not open (which I think is common around those parts).

I'd be fine recommending it for the price, but there may be better deals.

Note that I stayed at 20 Lorong 16 Geylang. There are many Hotel 81s, including one directly across the street from this one!
