A typical budget hotel. Building & room units' condition obviously run-down without any upgrade, improvement nor proper upkeep for ages. Given a room on 4th floor with elevator only going up to level 3 which means staircase to be climbed in order to reach room.Air Conditioning performance is OK.

Read moreI originally came to hotel 81 cozy as a stepping stone on my travels but due to circumstances I had to extend my stay for many weeks.

The room was clean and fine for the price, basically what we expected.||||What really stood out though was the staff. They helped us with everything, especially Mr. Montree. He gave great suggestions on where to go, what ATM to use, gave us umbrellas since it was raining and much more. He really did go above and beyond, which is why I give it 5 stars.||||If you are expecting the Ritz, probably not your place, but you will get the 5 star treatment if he is working. Will definitely be back next time we are in Singapore. Also, sign up for their news letter for some perks it...
