The best thing about this hotel is the staff: friendly and helpful under very difficult conditions. In a place like Singapore with its tropical temperature one would expect a fridge to be a standard in every room. Not in this hotel. On arrival at 1a.m. I was handed the key to my room and sent on my way to find... more

I stayed at Hotel 81 Bencoolen for one night. I don't want to speak ill of it much but I highly recommend to all who thinks of this hotel, please try another first, if you cannot, then take it as a last chance and stay there as less as you can. The hotel has a great location with its disadvantages.... more

when the airport shuttle dropped us off (1.00am) our attention was drawn to a woman lying unconscious on the pavement near the entrance. Shortly after we had some food at the food mall across the street. This mall was crowded with what looked like pimps and prostitutes on there snack break. We were kept awake most of the night by... more

Despite hotel occupancies falling from 85+% last year to around 40% now, finding a decent hotel at a reasonable price was hard. I chose 81 Bencoolen because is was under $100/night and not too far from town. When I arrived I recalled that I stayed hear about 5 years ago and nothing much has changed. It is grungy at best... more

The clean room and bathroom is a basic requirement in a hotel even without any stars!!! here the maid forgot to clean the bathroom, I assume! dirt and hairs were all over the bath, in the tube, on the floor, on the table! however the bed was clean. The walls are soooo thin, that I thought they were made of... more

I believe it is the best hotel location at the end of Orchard at bugis vicinity for its price. It is small but clean. The lowest price clean hotel with good location in that area. Expect a decent sleep, nothing luxurious. Across the road is 7 eleven and 24hr food court. Walking distance to bugis MRT, City Hall MRT and... more

This hotel was booked through Wotif.com and was a self rated 4star hotel, which included breakfast for AUD128.00. The location was quite good, 5 mins from the bottom end of Orchid Rd, 10 mins from Little India and Sun City. The room left alot to be desired, and was more like a double room in a hostel, to be honest.... more

While reading the reviews for this hotel before going to Singapore, I already expected the worse since i've already booked my reservations. If you set your expectations that it is a budget hotel then you won't expect too much. Staff is okay though the bell boys(or electricians) are not wearing uniform. I chose a standard room and to my surprise... more

Where to begin? Upon check in there was a mysterious liquid spilt on the floor right outside my door, it trailed away towards the lifts suggesting a split cleaners’ bag carting off God knows what. During my first evening in the room I noticed the soles of my feet turning black, upon closer inspection there was grime, hair and dust... more
