We have had a rooftop room with two kids. We felt like we were back in time when Chinatown was very popular with their room with no windows. The hotel is quite old but tidy. The staff were friendly, we could check in earlier though by hotel information they said we must check in after 3:00 local time. The location was really convenient, nearby supermarkets and a lot of options for different kinds of food. Overall we were happy 😊
Response from Property: Thank you for your thoughtful feedback! We are pleased to hear that you found our facilities clean and our environment pleasant. Your kind words about our front desk staff and the service provided are greatly appreciated. We continuously strive to enhance our guests' experiences and will take your comments regarding the age of the facilities into consideration. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future!

Review for Hotel 81 Chinatown, Singapore
Hotel 81 Chinatown offers a convenient location in the heart of Singapore's vibrant Chinatown district. The hotel is just a short walk from the Chinatown MRT station, making it an excellent base for exploring the city. It's surrounded by a variety of local eateries, cultural attractions, and shops, adding to its appeal for travelers who want to experience authentic Singaporean culture.
The rooms are compact but functional, catering mainly to budget-conscious travelers. While the facilities are basic, they include essentials such as air conditioning, complimentary Wi-Fi, and a private bathroom. The cleanliness of the rooms is generally well-maintained, though some areas could use minor updates to enhance the overall experience.
The staff are friendly and accommodating, providing quick check-in and assistance when needed. However, as a budget hotel, additional amenities like a gym or pool are not available.
Overall, Hotel 81 Chinatown is ideal for short stays, especially for those who prioritize location and affordability over luxury. If you're looking for a simple and no-frills accommodation option in a prime location, this hotel is worth considering.
Rating: 3.5/5

Good Location, But Cleanliness Could Be Better
The location is very convenient—easy to get around and surrounded by great local food. The staff were friendly and helpful. However, the cleanliness of the room could use some improvement. With a bit more attention to detail, this place could be excellent.

Place is nice but there is a bleach smell that is very strong and got into our eyes.

The aircon vents and all vents are super dusty
Hotel just repainted only, so there is a stench
Not sure whether housekeeping changed the bedsheets, felt so itchy.
Response from Property: "We are deeply embarrassed to hear that we did not provide the best possible service. It seems there were many areas that fell short in service and for that we are truly sorry. We hope we will be given an opportunity to welcome you back in the near future."

The location is excellent. Easy access to Food, transportation and shopping. If not fuss about the space of the room. It will be comfortable. Regarding cleanliness, is a hit and miss, depending on who is on duty. We stay on two separate occasions. First time, the cleaner was excellent, always leave the room smelling nice, whilst on the second time, a couple days the room smells as though someone has been smoking in our room.
Response from Property: Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you enjoyed our excellent location and found the room comfortable. We apologize for the inconsistency in cleanliness and the odor issue during your second day. Your comments are valuable, and we will address them with our housekeeping team to ensure a better experience in the future. We welcome you again in the near future for a renewed experience.

The location was excellent super accessible to MRT plus a Mall just across the road. The front desk was very courteous and helpful. My only complaint is that the room has microwave, but the rest of the amenities are good.
Response from Property: Thank you for your kind review. However, due to fire hazard, we avoid electronic appliances to be used in the rooms. We hope you understand and we welcome you back on your next visit to Singapore!
