Hotel 81 Tristar

Love how it has a bath tub to relax in, a swimming pool to chill, and the convenience of just heading down to have breakfast and late supper. There’s even a washer and a dryer that you can use! Although it’s unfortunate that Cheers opens only from 9am to 5pm. Other than that, all is good.

The hotel location is very convenient. There’s a lot of stores around and walking distance to a mall. The hotel itself is very nice! I was actually surprised as this was not the first time I booked hotel 81. It’s very spacious and clean. They everyday clean our room. I highly recommend them!

Stayed in February 2025 and the room size was quite big for a budget hotel. But the room, furniture and the hotel itself is quite old and dated with old wooden furniture and furnishings. It was fairly clean and well maintained. The bathroom was also very old and dated. The room was not very well soundproofes and it is easy to hear the noise from outside as the hotel is above a busy coffee shop. The location is very central to Joo Chiat and Geylang Serai area and about 5 to 10 mins walk to Paya Lebar MRT. Overall, this hotel is okay if there is nothing else but I would try other budget hotels that are newer.
