Hotel 81 Osaka in Tiong Bahru
A very basic hotel in a charming older neighborhood. Closer to transportation and restaurants and cafes. Don't miss a visit to the Monkey God Temple. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Recommendation: Search for another hotel! You will not get lucky or satisfied in this one. Hotel is close to a an Underground station from where you can go to the City that is really good. The hotel is really a basic hotel. Reception is really small and all the hotel is really old-school and the furnite not the newest one and also not in the best condition. The room is really shaby so it does not feel clean. The room is smelling bad and not healthy. In the bad there is a mildew (mold / mould) in the bad that is really unhealthy and discussing. The biggest problem was the not working shower. Even after 2. attempts to sort it out with the receptionist there where no change.So i had to book myself a new hotel to get a shower.

This is a no-frills hotel in a quiet suburban section of the city. The famous Tiong Bahru Market with the huge selection of eating vendors is just a 5 min walk. The area has become increasingly gentrified for the expatriate community. Besides local eateries there are quite a few cafes or bistros for this community. The premises is clean and relatively newly refurbished which is a plus point. However, there were no mini fridge or a closet like other Hotel 81, and the oft criticism of this chain hotel rooms being used by the hour for adult purposes was quite evident on this property. It is in at a dead-end street and is quiet and secluded.

The hotel is small, old and not too clean. You can hear noises from the alley and from the room next door. The front desks are friendly but don’t have good knowledge about their surroundings or about public transportation.

good value fof the money.
overall, a good value for the price. served the purpose of a clean bed and a shower for a reasonable price. room is clean and the staff friendly and accomodating. highly recommended for non fussy visitors who wants to stay on a budget. another plus is the proximity to public transportation and a convenience store within the building.

The room was to be expected for the price. The bed was quite hard and I would run out of hot water in the shower. The room could use more cupboard storage space. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The location is great with just a short walk to Outram Park MRT and quite a few food options very near by.

Hotel 81
This was a last minute booking after Travel cancelled our reservation at the 11th hour. The hotel was gerenally good but the was a few areas of cleaning that was needed like the window ledge was very dusty. Also the shower needs a proper cubicle so that the entire toilet area is not wet after someone has a shower. The management and staff were very helpful and accommodating.

Disappointed
Staff in general are polite and friendly. Paid S$119 with a smelly and noisy bathroom (smell should be from the drainage). Internet slow. Aircon very cold and cannot be adjusted (or on/off) because it’s centralised. We were in room 310. Please check the conditions. This is not my first stay here. Hotel could have done better or maintain the standard than the previous stays.

Great hawkers market down the road for a big cheep breakfast or lunch with the locals. Located in a slightly more suburban area with less tourists so better vibe plus lovely helpful staff and 24 hour convenience store underneath run by a really friendly fellow. Rooms are not big on western standards but normal for Singapore and great value. If you have a ton of luggage may be a problem though. Everything was clean with nice crisp linen on a firm but good mattrice and WIFI worked fine. A bit of a walk to MRT but good for us to burn off all of the wonderfull food we consumed. We walked to China town several times and even did a big walk to Gardens By the Bay via China Town and the CBD but opted to catch the MRT back. If you do not do walking the MRT is about 400m away so will need to consider the bus or taking a Taxi either to the MRT or your destination. Taxis are reasonably priced and honest though.

Great location with restaurants and a food court. Short walk to MRT and safe area. The only short fall was the room size. I think I would say typical for Singapore large enough for a bed and little space around it. The bath room allows for the 3 S’s of male grooming with little to no movement. The one thing that would made it better is some shelf space on the walls of the room.
