Hotel 81 Chinatown Singapore

Tbh the location is on top. Center of china town easy to get around. But the thing is the room is very dirty once we checked in, there’s a smoke smell and a lot of dirt. So first we asked to change a room, staff show us other two rooms.. they even worse with the smell. So we asked again then they said there’s no other room (that’s what they claimed at first). So we asked for cancellation, once they knew we want to cancel the room apparently surprisingly they had another room. And they denied our cancel. So we moved to that room. It was ok. I won’t be staying here in the future for sure. It’s only one night because we just want to find some place to crashed in for one more night so we want to try the cheap hotel, not worth it.

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 😊
