Good value for money

Recommendation:  by Julie Donald
 
Suitable for: Business, Leisure, Couples

The room was fine, simply an odd shape. A little difficult to get tourist information from the staff as they were very busy. A terrific location and given accommodation prices in Singapore I believe it was good value for money.

So far so good

Recommendation:  by agus salim
 
Suitable for: Singles

My stay in this hotel met my expectations although not very much. The rooms are comfortable enough and of an average size. The hotel location were good near some MRTs. Overall, I would recommend staying at this for a few nights if you are willing to spend a few extra dollars for the convenient location.

Not bad value for money compared to some hotel prices in Singapore. Location is very handy and room faciliites OK, although I don't like the plastic cover mattress! Would stay there again.

a very standard 2 star hotel

Recommendation:  by Miranty Boediman
 
Suitable for: Business

well, you can't expect much from 2 star hotel... the best thing that you can get from this hotel is the room is clean and near foodcourt & dhoby ghaut station. Other than that, everything is so standard.

Somewhere in the middle

Recommendation:  by Ferdian Widjaja
 
Suitable for: Singles

I wanted to try this since long time ago, but finally I did it because I wanted a budget hotel within my range, and of course good location where I can access MRT within 5 min walking distance. In terms of location, Hotel 81 Bencoolen is located a little bit far - around 10 min walk from Dhoby MRT station. Pricing was OK tough it's a little bit too high for budget. In fact, internet booking seemed to be more expensive than if you go straight to hotel without booking; however, of course you'll never know the availability. Another experience was, during my stay, the water pipe was broken and caused flood inside my room. Well, in general, I found this hotel nice for single traveller like me with good location and helpful staff, although the hotel is bit old and 'fragile' (refer to the broken pipe).

When I checked in, the staff were very quick and efficient, and was ushered to my room within 3 minutes of checking in.

Room was immaculate, very clean and has a nice view of Bencoolen Street.

I only have one suggestion, a refrigerator for storing cold drinks.

I would come back again.
