Hotel 81 Premier Princess

【Overall Impression】 This hotel was a stopover for an overnight stay during a layover on my way back home. While the price of over 600 (presumably Singapore dollars) is relatively cheap for Singapore, the overall service and experience were quite mediocre. 【Room Facilities】 The hardware facilities were decent, meeting the standards of a typical budget hotel. The TV experience was good, with built-in YouTube and Netflix. The window offered a view of a football field, where people could be seen playing or training. 【Service Experience】 The service was almost negligible, even worse than what you'd find in a standard budget hotel in China. While waiting for transportation during checkout, I even overheard staff members quietly discussing Chinese tourists behind my back, which significantly detracted from the experience. 【Summary and Recommendations】 I would only recommend this hotel to travelers looking for a cheap, brief stopover during a layover. Guests should manage their expectations regarding the service before checking in.

Traveling with my family of three, my child's eyes became red and swollen from an infection, and I myself was itchy. The bedding was dirty, causing red spots all over my body, and my legs were bitten and swollen. The listing stated it was only 2.4 km by car, but it's actually over a 20-minute walk from the subway station. My feet were sore and blistered from all the walking. From the subway station to the hotel, with a child in tow, we had to pass through two 'yellow light districts' with touts outside asking 'Do you want a massage?'. I really didn't want my child to see that, so we had to detour the whole way, walking in the street, which was disgusting! The hotel itself is very basic and the soundproofing is terrible; it's not even as good as low-cost motels back home. At over 800 RMB a night, including tax, it's not cheap, is it? If you're traveling with kids, avoid this hotel! Also, Ctrip's booking was non-cancellable and more expensive than other platforms!

The quilt was full of hair when I pulled it back, and my skin started itching as soon as I sat on it. It was incredibly dirty. No shower gel, toilet paper, or any toiletries were provided.
