Hotel 81 Geylang - Singapore

...and that's about it. Nothing at all fancy, convenient location in Geyland, the somewhat sketchy (by Singaporean standards) red light district, which does have fantastic eating options.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I knew it was a cheap option and went in with little expectations. I choose it over other cheap options for the free internet. The free wifi worked great. The first room they gave me was not cleaned but the immediately bumped me to an upgraded room that was clean.

Gets the job done, even though the plastic covered mattresses (connect the dots for the area its in - they do offer hourly rates) are a little off-putting. But if all you need is a decent place to sleep, you could do plenty worse.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Friendly reception. Note that there are many 81 hotels in the neighbourhood - make sure to get the right address. "Red light" district but safe and friendly. Good value.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The accommodation was basic and the room small, but perfectly adequate for somewhere to sleep if you are transiting through Singapore. Room was clean. Yes, it's the red light district but didn't seem at all dangerous or sleazy. I'd go there again.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I stayed in Singapore for 2 nights, and didn't want to spent too much for accommodation, so the only choice was the "red light district". It's not that bad really (but still not recommended for families). Most of them just stand there harmlessly. I went through a lot of reviews on hotel.com, and pretty much all the hotel reviews in this area are mixed. […] So I decided to spend one night each in Fragrance and 81. The condition of 81 Geylang is not so good. Room is pretty small and beaten down. Door seems pretty thin, as I could easily hear noises from the hallway. I stayed in Fragrance the previous night, and I wish I had stayed there for the 2nd night too (they are about the same price). It is conveniently located near MRT (about 5-10 mins walk). Wifi internet access is included for free (that's also why I picked Hotel 81 for the 2nd night, as I wanted to go online). Read more

Make sure you know what you're getting into before booking in this area. It's definitely "interesting" but ultimately harmless. For the area, this hotel is one of the better choices - free internet, good location, free water, rooms survivable (that's all you can reasonably expect in this price range in Singapore). No, you won't get any luxury or free […] breakfast, so forget about that. Read more

Hotel in Singapore is expensive. This hotel is right at the red-light district, it is the cheapest for the money. Service is ok, clean. But you cannot see what is outside, the window is cover with a blind which you cannot lift. Although it said it is a non-smoking place, you can smell smoking everywhere, a common problem in Asia, non-smoking rule is […] not observed much, renter beware. The place is safe ever it is not in a highclass neighborhood. Well, for the money, you get what you pay for, should not expect too much other than a clean bed. Read more

I stayed at this hotel overnight after coming off a cruise ship. I had a flight the next morning. The room was small with a large comfortable bed and it was clean. It served its purpose very well.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

When heading to the train station you had to avoid all the hookers on the street, and the men looking for them. The hotel also let rooms off by the hour to these people so sometime you had to listen to them making out. Also a cleaner would work all night and start cleaning the rooms after these people at any time in the night. Not good for sleeping […] at all at this hotel. My advise to you is to drop this hotel from your list! Read more

I think the Hotel Management needs to seriously consider the fact that their clients are coming from different parts of the World and, therefore, are handling people with vast cultural beliefs. I, personally, found the bed I was sleeping on to be "uncompromisingly" HARD. Other people prefer hard beds but variety is better. Reception guys need to be […] more open and friendlier to clients. Thank you. Read more

Quite convenient for the MRT and in a lively and colourful area of Singapore - probably a little less traveled and on the grungier side of the city. The room was small and a bit grubby, hair left on floor etc but for the price it's not surprising. Generally a good budget option.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

No luxury here, but everything worked, free wifi, comfortable if somewhat small room and 10 mins stroll to the MRT. Plenty of cheap places to eat nearby. So if you want a cheap option with no frills in an otherwise expensive city, this is as good as they come.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel is the worst hotel I have ever had. It is near red district and really untidy, People working at the hotel are unfriendly and rude. Void!!!!!!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Easy to access bus and MTR to city. Lots of pretty girls outside at night:) A good cheap hotel.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Reasonably good for bussiness travel for the evenings & day time. But no Restaurant for continental or Indian food joint in the vicenity

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Hotel was very easy to find and accessble by walking from local MRT station. Maybe took 10 mins on foot with large bag and not knowing the way. Room was clean, but bedding has few rips. Room was small but ok for single person. Area as others have reviewed, but very safe as all singapore. Easy to get to city centre on MRT. Would recommend to others

Many guests mention that this hotel is in the Red Light District of Singapore. I didn't notice much of that. I found this hotel a cheap option in an area with many restanurant.

We needed a room for half night to catch a flight early morning. I quickly went on hotels.com ,looked for a cheap hotel near the base.This was marked 3.3 from hotels so we chose it. Got there and first thing I noticed was soooo many many single men walking in front of the hotel. got are room and it was tiny.. you walk in and bam beds in front of u..no […] room to walk around, theres a door that opens to bathroom which is almost the size of the bathrroom.no windows. We literally had to roll of and on to bed. Left the hotel to grab something to eat.. we were the only family walking the street...to my suprise hookers left and right getting in and out of cars men coming in and out of quickie sex shops ..totally grossed out. We had to hurry get some food to bring back to are room..ate it on are bed and went to sleep. All we can hear was cars and motorcycles all night.Left are hotel at 6am and to my amazement there were still lots of people outside.. I wish I paid the extra $50 more for a decent hotel and location even for half a night. Gross experience. turns out this hotel is in the red light district China town of Singapore. Read more

Very convienient but wouldn't stay there if I had more time and money. Are is crawling with prostitutes which was amusing but wouldn't feel happy if I took children to the area. Sheets in the room were damp and the hairdryer wouldn't work. Button to turn the volume down on the tv was broken. But for a cheap weekend away, it was fine! Location was the […] main reason for staying. Read more

It was my 2nd time in Singapore. Just like the 1st time. I was really on a budget. Rather than book the hotel I booked before, I decided to try a different one. Since Hotel 81 is one of the cheapest out there w/ considerable number of decent reviews, I decided to book w/ them. I chose Hotel 81 Geylang since it was one of the cheapest and the accessibility […] to the MRT is fantastic. Just a few minutes walk, and you are already on your way to explore Singapore via their extensive MRT system. (Nice way to get around comfortably and some of the stations are near places of interest). The staff are very pleasant. Communicating w/ them is a breeze. They always greet you with a smile and present options for your needs w/o any hesitation. The hotel is quite small w/ only 5 floors and about 25 rooms per floor. Not sure but I think there is only one elevator that services the entire building. The building is clean and somehow well maintained. The room that I got is one w/ a queen-size bed. It was supposed to be for two but I feel that the room space is only sufficient for 1 occupant. Having 2 in the room would necessitate one walking around and the other just staying on the bed. The bathroom is a bit too small and compact for me. You can literally take a shower while sitting on the toilet. To think that my built is on the slim side and I still find the place too small, talks about the experience bigger people might have. Room amenities are decent as well. A Cabinet to store clothes w/ 4 hangers for your shirts and pants, and sufficient room still to become a shoe-rack. Blow dryer is a staple as well as an electric pot. TV is an antiquated CRT type w/ minimal available channels. Although the channel line up is much better than my previous hotel (on my prev review) due to the availability of Discovery, Star Movies, and an Australian Channel, it would be nicer to have more (e.g CNN, AXN, HBO, etc). No safety boxes available. Your luggage will serve as your safe for this hotel. Read more

We booked a room with hotel 81 Geylang and were told to check in at 2pm on that day. We were appalled to here that the rooms were full on that day,when we arrived after the timing. So much for booking the room and yet we are subjected to such treatment.. The receptionist even told us that the group of tourists that are overstaying cannot be 'misplaced' […] due to their delayed flights... It seems that they have overlooked their priorities and have forgotten about the other guests they have. Worst of all,they didn't bother to inform us earlier about their rooms being full. The rooms and its facilities are outdated, and its bed are uncomfortable. We are definitely not coming back again Read more

I stayed at this hotel when I moved to Singapore for a week while looking for long-term accommodation. Room was basic but clean, towels/bed changed daily. My room also was not noisy. Internet expensive. Red light district in the surroundings (though very safe). Would not choose this hotel if coming on a relax holiday, but to me it served its purpose […] and was the best price/quality deal in the city. Read more

It is what you expect from budget hotel. Quite good price for Singapore. Red Light district neighbourhood but did not cause any problems.Varieties of Chinese ,indian restaurants near on high street and very convenient. Good for transit and short stay.

Nice hotel in a busy city yet computer access is difficult no wifi

With theses prices in Singapore you can't find nothing cheaper (doble room). It's impossible to hace breakfast there, they don't give you this service. The staff is friendly.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

small rooms, but that doesnot matter much, bcoz we are not there to stay in room , only drawback was the sorroundings, which turns to become a red light area in the night, even that also not really a matter bcoz, they are just doing their business without harming anybody,

ROOM WAS BASIC,HELPFUL STAFF. AS I WAS NEW TO SG THEY GIVE ME PROPER GUIDELINE TO MOVE AROUND LIKE BUS ROUTE/MRT STATIONS. THOUGH ROOM WAS SMALL AIRCON WAS EXCELLENT.BATHROOM WAS SMALL BUT WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE.ROOM WAS PROVIDED WITH TEA/COFFEE MAKER BUT NO MINI BAR,ITS OK WHO WANTS TO DRINK IN ROOM WHEN SO MANY INDIAN/CHINESE EATERIES(DRINKS […] ARE AVAILABLE) ARE CLOSE TO HOTEL. SMOKING IS NOT ALLOWED IN THE HOTEL . BUT IN PREMISES U CAN SMOKE, THEY SHOULD PUT SOME CHAIRS FOR THAT. BEFORE BOOKING THIS HOTEL I HAD GONE THROUGH SO MANY REVIEWS- SOME GOOD/ SOME BAD BUT MY CONCLUSION IS THIS HOTEL AREA IS NOT DANGEROUS AT ALL BUT FOUND INTERESTING .GIRLS AROUND THE CORNER DONT TROUBLE YOU UNLESS YOU SHOW INTEREST. I HAVE SEEN FAMILY' S STAYING IN THIS HOTEL. HOTEL LOCATION OK. BUS STOP / TAXI VERY NEAR. MRT 10 MIN. AS PER MY OPENION THIS HOTEL IS GOOD FOR BUDGET TRAVELER Read more

周辺は予想通りで若干不安を感じながら向かいましたが、ネット環境も比較的良くて、日本とのSkypeでのビデオ通話も問題ありませんでした。隣りの建物で夜間工事していたのでうるさくて寝つきが悪かった以外は、妥協出来るラインのホテルでした。また使うつもりです。

酒店在新加坡著名紅燈區「芽籠」(Geylang）中，不過若要選平價酒店的話，通常都會在這區的了。（本人第一天便在街上被一位女仕拉著我的手臂，但之後只要回避一下便可～）酒店整潔度是不錯的，接待處服務員也有禮貌，只是每天早上七時多都會被在門外電梯口的中國旅客吵醒，這也是酒店無法控制得到的…酒店附件食肆林立，是搵食的好地方（尤其在MRT附件的熟食中心，螃蟹也只是SGD38/kg，比Chinatown差不多平一半啊～）。

Henkilökunta oli oikein mukavaa ja palvelu hyvää. Sijainti oli kuitenkin näköjään keskellä punaisten lyhtyjen aluetta ja lähimmälle MRT asemalle oli kävelyä noin 15min. Huone oli ok, kuitenkin todella pieni

久々にゲイランに泊まりましたが，ホテルの周りはだいぶ浄化され，オネエサン方がだいぶ減りました。それでも若い女性にはお勧めできませんが。部屋は８１チェーンのスタンダード。シンガポールでこのお値段ですから，部屋の隅に埃が落ちていたり，洗面台に髪の毛が残っていても文句言ってはいけません。アジアの濃厚な雰囲気を楽しんでください。

因為沒查清楚，酒店位於紅燈風化區。另外房間真是小的可憐，或許星加坡寸土寸金吧!

酒店很有性价比，地理位置还可以，距地铁站约10分钟的路程，还算方便；酒店客房也比较干净，也有free wifi。唯一美中不足的是隔音效果太差，每天早上6点总会被手推车的吵声弄醒；还有会觉得热水不够用，热水大概只能洗个10分钟

L'hotel est situé dans le quartier chaud. L'hôtel est très cher au regard de son entretien et de sa situation.

Das Zimmer war sehr sauber. Dem Preis entsprechend war mein Zimmer sehr klein. Ich war alleine und daher habe ich auch nicht so viel Platz nötig. Die Klimaanlage war sehr angenehm. Nicht zu stark und recht leise. Auf dem Nachbargrundstück wurde gebaut. Das war recht laut. Aber am Abend und in der Nacht war alles angenehm ruhig.

施設は新しくないが、清掃はある程度、行き届いており、眠るだけの目的であれば問題なく達成できる。トイレとシャワーと洗面台が極小スペースに合わさっているのには驚くが、使ってみると左程、問題はない。コーヒー、緑茶、歯ブラシ等も置いてあったが、シャンプー兼ボディーソープという前代未聞の洗剤には手を付けなかったので、どんなものか分からない。受付に一言リクエストすると、室内で無料WIFIを利用できるので、ホテルで情報収集したい人は重宝するであろう。

前日にジョホールバルに泊まったのですが、同等クラスのホテルでしたが、店員のサービスの人柄は、ジョホールバルの方が全然上とういか普通でしたが、こちらのホテルは、場所が場所なだけに見たくれが悪いのと、あまりやる気を感じない。
