I was actually a bit apprehensive, with the not so rosy reviews posted by some of the travellers who stayed at Hotel 81 Bencoolen. But surprisingly, my parents and I had a pretty okay time at the hotel. Of course, we knew that we were not getting first class service, unlike those who previously stayed there. Anyway, we were actually... more

Checked in 81 Bencoolen and found that the pictures posted on the net were stretched and magnified and the rooms were actually cubby holes; definitely not for a small family, despite asking them about it earlier. We were allocated what the reception staff told us was one of the most spacious rooms, and was taken aback when I discovered our... more

During my 5-days stay at Hotel 81 Bencoolen, a purportly claimed 3 star hotel, I found unbelievable that the hotel's housekeepers did not use vacuum cleaner while tidy up rooms. Therefore, rooms were full of hair, dust and even tissue paper. Ants were found all over the dressing table, wash basin and sometimes on the bed. I just wonder how... more

In the past, I haven*t bothered about staying hotels like 81, 69 or wahtever. But at the helm of Air Show, all the other available hotel rooms were $300, 400, 500, 700 and more (per night) and we had no choice but to stay at Hotel 81Bancoolen. After reading the other comments, we were ready for dirty floor, dirty shower... more

Stayed here for four nights from the 26th to the 30th of December. 2 pax, me and my best friend. This is our first time staying in a budgeted hotel. All in all, so so.. Very much a budget hotel. The check in process was very slow although we already had our vouchers in hand. No roomboy to help, we... more

Generally uncomfortable experience. Door lock broken. Hotel Internet broken. Bar of soap in bathroom? Not available. Bedside reading light? You must be joking. Interesting black mould between tiles in bath/shower. Worst of all. the mattress had a horrible plastic cover, which provided the distinct impression of sleeping on an incontinence sheet. These things might be bearable in a budget hotel,... more

Because of heavy rush in other good hotels, I had to book rooms to stay in Hotel 81, Bencoolen Street, Singapore. My initial plan was to stay 12 nights from 12th to 24th November, 2007. So I booked a deluxe room with rent of SGD149/- per night for week days and SGD169/- per night for week-ends. I paid one days... more

We stayed at the hotel from 8 - 11 Nov on the 11 Floor in a DBL room. Had not expected much from the property, hence was not shocked. Room was small, but comfortable bed for 2 adt n 1 child. The room was not sparkling clean, as there was lot of dust on the floor corners and behind the... more
