Hotel 81 Joy

Exceptional Day and Evening reception, gave us a free souvenir we enjoyed our stay and wish we had stayed longer to enjoy more of the hotels surroundings and plenty of food centres and restaurants around. It's also very affordable.

For such a short stay for new tourists probably not the best in terms of location.

Clean

It's among the cheapest accommodation in Singapore, so goes without saying, don't expect flowers during check in. It does it job well. Good neighborhood, going to city center is very near and easy using a bus, there's an MRT as well but walking distance is much further than taking a bus. Located in Geylang, so if you won't have trouble looking for food 24/7, but not close enough to the red-light district (at least to my knowledge). If you are visiting for events in the national stadium, then you are in luck as it is very close.

Same as above, it is among the cheapest accommodation in Singapore. The place feels pretty run down. The door is a bit difficult to open with the key (I'm not the only, other customer complained about it when we're checking in). Toilet is not dirty but feels unhygienic, there are cracks on the walls, very cramp and no doors on the toilet (only bath curtain). Bed is the same, again not dirty, but the overall ambience is just matching the price.

The location of the hotel was very nice and easy to access to MRT to move around the city as well as close to several groceries store. The staff were very helpful and friendly and the room was well cleaned.

The noise on the floor where I stayed but that doesn't depend on the hotel or staff itself, just the guests, maybe I wasn't lucky with the people next to my room since I was at the hotel only to sleep since the rest of the day I was out, but for the moment of sleeping and rest at night, it was a bit annoying, but has nothing to do with the facilities or the staff. Also, it's true that the windows weren't really well noise cancelled since the noises from the street were easy to be listened at night again, but that's fine, bit annoying but I cannot say a lot about that. One last thing, the fact of the toilet and shower being on the same spot, was a little bit uncomfortable. I know it's a small room but it was a bit of a problem of having the shower alongside the toilet since sometimes when I was passing by I was opening the shower by mistake and getting wet about it. When I say on the questionnaire I wouldn't go back there is just because for what's offered, the price is high, I don't mind to go back to this hotel if the price decreases because at the end I only wanted the hotel for resting at night and even if it was for spend some more time there, the price was quite high especially with what's offered at the hotel itself. But don't get me wrong with my words, for a 2 night stay as I did, is probably the best option at least at the moment I booked.
