We stayed in the Dickson Hotel 81 for 5 nights. It was about a 40 minute walk to the habour, or less than 10 minutes to the nearest MRT station. If you are a keen explorer and like walking, the walk to the downtown area is easy, straight forward walk through busy markets and passed some big shopping centres, helping... more

The room we stayed in was small but clean. Since this is a budget hotel, I didn't expect much. There was no window in the room and no ref. You also have to pay S$10/per day for internet. They also didn't clean the room even if we hanged the "please clean room" sign at the door. One front desk personnel... more

My wife and I stayed here in early April 2009. We booked it after searching through countless hotel 81 budget hotels and came to the conclusion that there are no low cost hotels located in the downtown core of Singapore. We settled for Hotel 81 Dickson and were both very impressed with what we got. We took the metro train... more

We stayed at this hotel from 10th March until 13th March The hotel location is excellent and very central. But, though being a new Hotel amongst the chain of Hotel 81, the Hotel/rooms had few problems. 1. The Hot water from the shower is only there until 20 min to be precise after which you will have to wait for... more

It was my biggest mistake to book in Hotel 81 Dickson. Change different rooms several times but they were all same. Cleaners in the corridor made so much noise that I couldn't even talk on the phone, they were whistling, screaming, shouting to each others as if its vegetable market. Shower was in the same place on toilet. After shower,... more

We had our qualms about this hotel at first. It was the only hotel left with family room within the hotel chain. The place was initially not easy to locate as there are no direction and signboard to the place. But upon reaching the lobby, we were quite surpreise as the lobby was neat and the frontdesk staff is quite... more

I was a little apprehensive about booking into the hotel as I had read only one review of it, not very positive. So we thought that we would just check it out to see if it suits us, and shift to another hotel if required. But I was pleasantly surprised. The hotel premises were absolutely neat and clean, reasonably quiet,... more

We booked through their website. In the website they have mentioned some discounted price for sight seeing in singapore but when approached, the front desk told they are not aware of that. As the hotel is new, rooms are clean and neat but no proper person in house keeping. They have kept a coffee and milo packet but no sugar... more

We booked an entire trip through Malaysia, ending in Singapore. This hotel was easily the most poor one we saw. Rooms are good enough, but cockroaches fell down from the AC... Also, the hotel does not provide breakfast facilities and none are really close (Western breakfast that is, Chinese enough around the hotel). Our room had a window, facing the... more
