Singapore's Cheap Sleep
by boolateh about Hotel 81 Bencoolen
We're 3 adults and stayed in a superior plus room for SGD 119 a night. The location is really central, within the school district and near to SMU, and just a 5-minute walk to Orchard Road. Good area. Good views. Big bathroom with bathtub and huge dressing sink. Fresh fluffy white towels changed everyday. Bathroom equipped with tissue, toothbrush/paste, shower caps. Cleaned everyday. Linens changed everyday.
Cable TV and cool aircon. Very helpful receptionists. Good service.
I would recommend this particular location to everyone. I would stay here again! Hotel 81 Bencoolen. Great location. Near 24-hour internet cafe. Near Bugis shopping district. Near Orchard. Near 2 MRT stations (Dhoby Gaut and Bugis)

Budget Hotels
by srd130 about Hotel 81
This is a large chain of budget hotels in Singapore's red light district. Overall, I can honestly say this was the best value of any hotel I stayed in. It was about 25 USD per night. The rooms were recently rennovated and furnished. The catch is that they also charge by the hour - actually its a 2 hour "transit rate". So basically about half the people in the hotel are using it for sex, but you should be bothered by this. I think they quarantine these guests on seperate floors - the most you will be confronted with is sharing an elevator with a prostitute and customer.
The rooms have A/C, good clean sheets, cable television, and hot water. Exceptional value.

Hotel 81 provides "no frills" rooms but yet rooms are clean and comfortable. There are new branches in town, in Chinatown and Bencoolen Street
