The property is perfect for the budget conscious. It has a bed and bathroom and kettle for making your morning coffee. We had booked an inside room and were upgraded to a room with a balcony. The balcony was enclosed on all sides by ten foot tall walls 😏😂

Was a good location and the staff was very friendly, but my room was dirty and there were bugs crawling on the area where the coffee maker is as well as in the shower (which is really the whole bathroom). Thankfully I only had one day in Singapore so I was able to avoid the room except to sleep for 5 hours before my flight. Bed was comfortable and the staff was nice but I would not stay again due to the cleanliness. The property needs a refresh or update in my opinion.

Budget hotel even though its fairly pricey. Clean sheets but everything else in the room is tatty and worn. No window and smells damp. Tiny bathroom, you can sit on the toilet and have a shower which soaks everything in the bathroom. Short walk to transport, local eateries and shopping centre

Location good, but smoke odor too overwhelming

This is a very basic inn, as expected when booked. The location is good and right in the downtown Bugis shopping area, and not far from the Marina Bay. The shower area is shared with the toilet (without shower curtain partition) - not totally unexpected. This is advertised as a smoke-free hotel, but the smell of smoke was so overwhelming - the worst experience of any hotel stay I've had.

Great location and friendly staff. The building is older, but that met my expectations given the price. The reason for the poor review was the cleanliness of the room. There was dust on the desk, and handprints on the mirror. Worse yet, there were numerous long hairs on the bathroom floor. It made me question if any cleaning at all was done, which made my stay pretty uncomfortable.

I stayed for more than 1 week, solo female traveller. Needs Improvement - As to my room, needs to fix the hot shower. It does not get warm or hot even after 10mins of flowing water. Waste of water. Toilet is wet everywhere when you take shower. The facility seems also being used for 2-3hours stay for quickies. Good points - Safe. As solo female traveller, I feel safe even if I return to hotel late night. Service - with minimal interactions I had, their staff are helpful. Nearby Raffles City Mall and MRT.

Good for Budget Travellers

Below average, a bit run-down and the hotel could really use some upgrading work. The staff and the service were pretty good though, plus the location is quite central, accessible to Bugis MRT station, and tons of eateries.

Satisfied in Singapore

Hotel 81 Bugis, is an affordable alternative in a city of much pricier options. The hotel was clean and relatively quiet. The staff were professional and helpful no matter the time of day. The entire bathroom doubles as a shower, which was a first for me. The AC works wonderfully, sometimes too well, but it certainly beats the alternative in Singapore's hot climate. An electrical outlet nearer the bed would be nice. Easy to get to the metro too. I would certainly stay here again.
