Hotel 81 Tristar (Singapore, Singapore)

Good Budget Hotel For The AreaThe hotel area is superb and the price is right. There’s an ATM machine practically right at your feet when you walk out the hotel door, transportation stations are nearby, and you can shop till you drop. You will find a mini mart close by as well.

Rooms are huge and the family room is extremely spacious. If you are travelling with a group, you won’t have to be concerned about feeling cramped, there’s plenty of space to move around.

If trying various foods and nibbling throughout the day are things you enjoy, you can fulfil your heart’s desire while staying at this hotel. There are choices everywhere. Thai food is very cheap and there is fine dining as well. Food stalls are all around and there are halal restaurants nearby too.

The hotel appears to be on its last legs. Furnishings are old and plenty of repairs are needed. Cleaning standards are below acceptable with dust and dirt everywhere. There is mould in the bathroom including the shower curtain, broken fixtures, and bad smells that hit you right when you walk into the lobby area. If you book this hotel, keep your expectations low.

Wi-Fi is poor and practically useless. If you require a steady connection for business or to keep in touch with family and friends or both, you will be sorely disappointed.

Rude is probably putting it mildly. The hotel staff need lessons in hospitality. Arrogance, abrupt use of language, and overall disregard for hotel visitors is all par for the course at this establishment.
