Had an unplanned stopover in Singapore after missing my connection so booked Hotel 81 Geylang via the hotel desk on the arrivals floor at Singapore Airport, a double room for one person costing approx £22.50 per night (45 Singapore Dollars). Hotel desk warned it was in the red-light district but she need not have told me this as there was... more

I recently returned from a Shopping Holiday in Singapore for 10 days. I travelled with my husband and we had a fantastic time. We stayed at the Hotel 81 Geylang and were treated like Royalty. The staff were exceptional, nothing was any trouble and service was always with a warm friendly smile. We would stay again at this hotel without... more

This Motel is definitely not an appropriate place to book Conservative mother and daughter travelers. We went thru a travel agency, and they booked us here - I got ripped off....I thought it would be a decent, at least 3 star hotel, in a decent neighborhood (since that's what the Agent told me). This is more like a EconoLodge-type of... more

There are a few Hotel 81's in Geylang area.Rate is about Sing$90. I stayed at 2 different places and both were OK. The rooms are clean and everything is basic.

As it is situated in the heart of the red light district, the presence of the many 24/7 prostitutes on the... more

Quality Budget hotels are thin on the ground in singapore, or so i thought. Yes it is a little way out of the city, yes there are prostitutes at the top of the road, yes the hotel charges by the hour, but all that aside the hotel was efficient, room cleaned everyday, i slept very well, air con works, bathroom... more

No hot water, no movie channel...although published ! No sorry from staff. Cockroaches in the room. Expect day and allnight some horny noises ! Location: REDLIGHT district! Your bathroom is one squaremeter: washbassin,shower and toilet. Its a three-in-one wash! My advice:Pay a little more and stay in a better neighbourhood. more

Needed a hotel for two nights in Singapore after a two week holiday in Sentosa. Booked through RatesToGo website. In taxi on way there driver told me it was in red light district and she wasnt wrong! Dozens of women line the street day and night. Hotel wasnt particularly clean either, hairs in bed, mold in showers etc. Corridors smell... more
