Not a family oriented property. This hotel is in the absolute heart of the red light district. Noisy until 4am. Brothels outnumber every other type of establishment in the area. If you are a single man looking for that sort of thing, this is an expensive place that basically charges by the hour. Room large enough for sleeping and nothing more. Not even a place to open luggage accept on bed. Shower, toilet, sink are combined into a single tiny cubicle. If you are on a budget and only intend to sleep (or purposely NOT sleep, this is your solution. Staff were professional, courteous and helpful. The front desk staff were the best aspect of the stay.

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.

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.

Was quiet....room was compact with twin beds. This was the 2nd hotel we stayed at where the toilet is part of the shower. Really a screen would seperate them as you need to wipe the floor so it isnt wet when you go to the toilet. Staff were friendly and it was clean....and COOL to walk into.

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.
