Good value from an old hotel, large rooms, nearby eating places and MRT/bus. With the bonus of a swimming pool, which equivalent small hotels do not have!
Who needs flash expensive hotels when this is very adequate, giving you more spending money to use elsewhere!

We enjoyed everything about the hotel, especially the area. So many restaurants nearby, there was also a building opposite with free table tennis.
My family and I were very happy with the service provided during our stay. Ms. Sarinah from the Front Office was extremely polite, helpful, and always willing to assist with a warm and professional attitude. She truly went the extra mile to ensure my family was comfortable, and she is a wonderful lady.
I would also like to commend Mr. Zul from Room Service. He is very hardworking, trustworthy, and the room cleaning he carried out was superb. His dedication and attention to detail did not go unnoticed.
Overall, their excellent service made our stay pleasant and memorable.

Room is good tv was a bit spotty. otherwise location is prime if you wish to experience singapore malay culture and the food
Hotel 81 Tristar was in an excellent location. It was close enough to the city that we could easily travel to attractions but far away enough that we felt like we were surrounded by normal Singaporean people.
The staff were friendly and helpful and the pool was a good size and clean.
For that price range, it can't get any better. Rooms are large and comes with bathtub, which is rare. Has a swimming pool and one of the most affordable laundry around. Train station is walkable, with bus stop within a short walk and surrounded by eateries.
Hotel may be a bit dated, thus it does look old school and worn out a bit but overall for the price would gladly return without a heartbeat.
Very nice place to stay. Accessible to all sorts of things like shopping mall, food stalls and very near to MRT. We'll book again for our next visit to Singapore.
Got this place for my brother’s family while visiting SG. They said it is a nice place and very spacious room. Nice location for tourist.

People complain about this hotel need to understand that it is old, guests eat in their rooms so thus ant will come!
Finding another hotel with large rooms and a swimming pool at this price is hard to find!
The taxi drivers are very impressed for the value!
Have stayed here many times with my young family and will continue to do!
Only ENTITLED guests complain!
Good for the family of four people. Liked it. Beds were comfortable and room space was large. Stayed 3 nights

I stayed here for one day before flying out from Singapore. The location is great with a lot of eating places nearby, fruit and veggies and shopping complex. The small hotel also has a good sized swimming pool and is 20 minutes from the airport. The room is a good size and while it’s fairly basic, it was quiet and comfortable.
