Hotel 81 Princess

“Inexpensive but great place to stay”

This place is less expensive, clean, great staff, friendly and very helpful. It's also close to bus stop and restaurants and other small stores. If I have to go back to Singapore I would stay there again. They have a little refrigerator and kettle for hot water. They don't have ice. 7/11 is just ac… more

It was not a big deal to us.

“Small, budget hotel close to National Stadium”

A budget hotel which we only stayed at as it was super close to the National Stadium. Being the weekend of the Taylor Swift concerts, the room rates were seemingly jacked up by 200-300%. But that's economics for you. The rooms were clean but very very small, esp. if you are separating the bed into … more

A budget hotel which we only stayed at as it was super close to the National Stadium. Being the weekend of the Taylor Swift concerts, the room rates were seemingly jacked up by 200-300%. But that's economics for you. The rooms were clean but very very small, esp. if you are separating the bed into two twins. We did not have room to put our luggage on the floor. Staff were friendly. The location, as mentioned, is a 15 min walk from the National Stadium so a fair choice if you are staying for an event there. Some good restaurant options nearby - definitely a more "local" than "tourist" area.

“It was ok for a night!”

The room is not big as I was expected but not too bad. Bed sheet and pillow have some stain on it, I’m sure they already cleaned it but can’t wash it off so it looks dirty. If you only stay one night or find a place to rest during the flight, that’s fine.

“Very budget experience at inflated prices - thanks to the the Taylor Swift Economic Effect”

To be fair, this 2-star hotel is probably a decent deal any time OTHER than when Taylor Swift is in town. I think the normal rate is S$69 a night, but we paid over FOUR TIMES that for our 3 night stay during Swifte season. The room was TINY - made even smaller by the fact that we needed twin beds, … more

To be fair, this 2-star hotel is probably a decent deal any time OTHER than when Taylor Swift is in town. I think the normal rate is S$69 a night, but we paid over FOUR TIMES that for our 3 night stay during Swifte season. The room was TINY - made even smaller by the fact that we needed twin beds, so there was very little room for our luggage. The bathroom had been recently renovated but was still microscopic - you could probably touch all four walls whilst sitting on the toilet. There was no real separation of the shower area from the rest of the bathroom (other than a thin glass panel close to the shower head, so the water leaked right across the bathroom floor anytime the shower was used). The room walls were also VERY thin - good if you are a vouyer, not so good if you want a good nights sleep. Beds were rock hard. On the plus side... the staff were excellent, very helpful. The hotel is a 15 min walk to the National Stadium, so perfect if you're travelling in to SG for an event. There are also lots of good restaurants, bars and 'adult shops' nearby, if thats your thing.
