Hotel 81 Palace - NEWLY RENOVATED

We stayed at 'Hotel 81 Palace' for a couple of nights. It is situated at a convenient location in Geylang, Singapore. Though it's situated within the Red Light District, we didn't face any issues. The surroundings are not very clean, but the hotel premise is clean & its interior is modern. It is situated close to a bus stop, hence accessing attractions through buses is easier. It will take around 10-15 minutes to walk from the nearest MRT station (Aljunied) to the hotel. There are multiple restaurants close to the hotel & a self-wash laundry. The receptionist was welcoming & the check-in process was smooth. We had to pay extra for a 9 AM check-in (which is quite reasonable). The Standard Queen Room we booked was on an upper floor and it was accessible by an elevator. The room was very small & had just enough space to keep our luggage. It was clean & had good lighting. The room was equipped with a table, a cupboard, an electric kettle & a television. The bathroom was clean and hot water worked without an issue. We could also refill our water bottles through a tap which supplied potable water to each room. Towels, soap & amenities were available. Room service was available throughout the stay. Overall, it was a good stay in Singapore.

For Singapore the price is what I liked, plus I like Geyland for the food at the golden mile restaurant and the hawker centre which is only a 2km walk away or the street stalls just up the road. It's close to the MTR and by taxi half way between the Gardens and Changi. Room was clean, about normal size for that price range in Singapore, air con was good and lucky I like a very firm bed. Staff helpful and polite. I'd stay again.

Location is superb . Very clean . Easy access to public transport .

The staff was amazing! helping me to find a place where to buy some food (the restaurants are local and the majority they do not speak English)

If you've done your research you'll know the areas reputation. You'll also know that Singapore hotels are very expensive. Hotel 81 Palace is a fantastic budget option with excellent public transport links. Using google maps and Singapores easy to use transport systems will get you to all the tourist spots and the airport quickly. There are really good eating options nearby as well as convenience stores. The room was small, but clean and comfortable with very little noise. The staff were friendly and helped me print out the documents that I needed. Would recommend particularly for solo travellers.
