Basic hotel but not bad for the price
Pros:

Pretty basic hotel, would prefer to stay in something better. But for the price (in Singapore) it's ok and ideal if you are just after a bed to sleep in. Staff are friendly and willing to help. Good location for getting around Singapore, situated between Little India and Bugis (both walking distance). 3 MRT stations in close proximity, so plenty of options for travelling to other parts of Singapore. This was my second stay at Hotel 81 Rochor.

Not ideal stay
Pros:

Would not recommend this got any family trip. Room is dirty and smells bad. Bathroom silicon is mouldy. Air conditioning cannot be control and always going on higher setting even after requesting for it to be turn down. Room so cold cannot sleep.

Pros:

Rating this as poor, because all windows were sealed. There was no light / air allowed from anywhere except the Air conditioning.
Moreover, while doing the booking, I was shown the image of balcony, but when I reached there, i wasn't given the room with balcony. They said, they only have one room with balcony and that is already taken by someone else.
So, had to adjust in a sealed room throughout my trip. They did given me an option to move out and get a full refund, but at that time, I would have had to pay double amount to get a room in any hotel.
Other than this, the stay was fine. This was anyways just a room we had booked, without any breakfast or other amenities.

Pros:

The room wasn’t clean. The area is great. Close to the city and other markets. If your after a room, it’s probably ok. But the cleanliness needs to be brought up to a higher standard. It had hair on the ground and bed, bathroom had soap residue everywhere.

Pros:

The property is conveniently located but the positive ends there. The service is poor and although it is a budget hotel, the staff should at least try to be hospitable. No room cleaning unless requested.

Pros:

Very nice accommodation. Worth the amount that you will pay and I will definitely go back to this place.

Not only it has a simple room, the hotel is a 2 minute walk from the MRT station, which is very convenient for leisure travelers or backpackers like me. They clean your room everyday and always provide clean towels, complimentary bottled water and instant coffee/tea, which serves a your morning or late night hot drink. Hotel staff is also very accommodating and will help you on your travel needs.

Pros:

No window, it doesn’t say there’s no window when I was booking, elevator was wet and dirty and stayed that way for hours, the bad room door is moldy, the bed is very firm and I can feel spring on my back, air conditioner cannot be controlled, basically I spent my night very cold and blanket is so thin, one of the front desk staff is not very friendly but the other one who worked early morning shift was very helpful. I’d rather pay extra for better amenities and services.

Good location. Small room but well-equipped
Pros:

Very good location, walking distance to MRT stations, next door to convenience store. Room is small but quite well-equipped. Good room service. The only discomfort is air-conditioning: its freezing and cannot be turned off even for a while.
