Cleaner and visually nicer than I thought (Didn'tknownit was under Hotel81 tbh, so expect a no-frills kinda room), especially the toilet - love it!!
Staff (I think is his name is Tate Fay) was a very nice guy in terms of the hospitality service - helpful and outgoing enough without being too in your face.
Location was not bad though not the best cos everywhere seems expensive, but the Sarawak Noodles nearby are good!!
FINALLY THE CONS!! IS THE SOUNDPROOFING!! The water flow from the ceiling is insanely loud for people with sensitive hearing!! Sad that the management didn't fix this when they were doing renovations!!
Here’s a cleaner and more natural review-style version of your text:
It’s true that hotel rooms in Singapore are generally not very spacious, but this hotel was clean and well-maintained, so I had no issues with that. They provided basic amenities such as towels, toothbrushes, and slippers.
I booked a balcony room. Although the view was mostly just other balconies on every side, it was still nice to have some fresh air and enjoy breakfast outside.
The location is good — it’s near the train station, and there are also convenience stores and a food park area nearby, which made everything very convenient.
Check-in and check-out were easy and smooth. However, the lady who assisted us during check-in was not very friendly.
The room was a bit small, but it had everything I needed, and the location was fantastic! It's right on Joo Chiat Road, and you can easily walk to East Coast Park. Common Man is directly across the street. Plus, the front desk offered green apples every day – definitely a big plus!
Excellent budget hotel, we really enjoy our stay and highly recommended. All staff are friendly and can be trusted. My Next trip to Singapore I will still choose this hotel🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡
I chose the Hotel Mi Rochor for my trip to Singapore with my mom, and we had a great stay in a double room!
**Environment:** It's a two-minute walk from Rochor MRT station and about a 10-minute walk from Bugis MRT station, making it super convenient to take the subway to attractions like Marina Bay Sands, Clarke Quay, the Old Hill Street Police Station, and Chinatown. The transportation is excellent, and there are two 7-Eleven convenience stores downstairs.
**Service:** The service was incredibly warm and welcoming. Helen at the front desk checked us in smoothly in both Chinese and English. She even gave us a free Chinese map of Singapore and enthusiastically explained transportation routes. All the staff members were very polite.
**Facilities:** The hotel room was a little on the small side, but the facilities were complete and very new. You don't even need to bring a travel adapter. There's a swimming pool right below the hotel, and many people were using it in the morning.
**Cleanliness:** The room was very clean, and staff came to clean it regularly every day.

1. The cleanliness was acceptable; at least the bed sheets and duvet covers looked clean. However, be aware that if there are personal items on the bed, they won't make up the bed.
2. I wasn't used to the duvet; it was very thin, and the duvet cover was too large. If two people were sleeping, it felt like the duvet inside would slide around.
3. The bed was very soft, not a firm one, and the pillows were just okay. Honestly, I didn't sleep very comfortably.
4. It's extremely, incredibly poorly soundproofed. You can hear everything happening in the hallway clearly. It's fine for a quick overnight stay, but I wouldn't recommend it for a longer visit. However, we chose it for the price; it was the cheapest option we found after comparing all prices – three nights over May Day cost 1038.77 RMB including tax. So, we made do.
5. The room windows couldn't be opened. If you came back sweaty from sightseeing, and left the room overnight, it would smell a bit funky (your own body odor) when you returned the next day, because the air circulation was poor. You had to rely on the air conditioning's internal circulation.
6. A special note: without an electricity key card, as long as it's in the slot, power will continue to be supplied. (Exclusive tip!)
7. You don't need a different charger head; domestic chargers work fine.
8. There's usually a Mandarin-speaking staff member at the front desk, so communication was generally good.
9. Our Wi-Fi stopped working once. I called the front desk from the room phone (simple English communication), and someone came to check it out after about 20 minutes.
10. I forgot to take photos of the hotel, so I've included a picture of the street corner 10-grid, a rooster I encountered in Wuzhong, and the last photo is the check-in notice from the front desk, mainly about connecting to the Wi-Fi.
11. Also, and most importantly, they don't provide bottled water. There's a special filtered water dispenser in the room where you can get filtered water.
Hope this helps everyone.
The location of Value Hotel Balestier is quite nice and convenient, with easy access to nearby food places and transportation. However, the main downside of my stay was the restroom. It was noticeably smelly and had a strong unpleasant odor, similar to sewage or poop, which made using the bathroom uncomfortable. While the location is a plus, the cleanliness and smell of the restroom really need improvement.

This was my first time in Singapore and my first hotel booking, and it was great value for money. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Singapore. Celvin and Ainee provided excellent service. It's not that I can't afford other hotels in Singapore; it's just that Hotel 81 Palace offers better value. Highly recommended!

The location is excellent. You exit Bugis MRT Station (Blue Line) and walk up the ramp, and it's about 30 meters ahead. There's also a Yellow Line MRT station nearby. Plenty of 7-Eleven stores and hawker centers in the vicinity. Fort Canning Park, Old Hill Street Police Station, Clarke Quay, and Chijmes are all within walking distance, and other popular attractions are easily accessible. The room itself is quite small with a sealed window. No comb or bottled water, but there are coffee and tea bags, and a filtered water tap. If you need cleaning or fresh towels, you have to place a specific sign on the bed, otherwise, they won't come. There are no hand towels, but you can ask the front desk for disposable face towels. The shower water pressure is great, but the bathroom is tiny. The front desk service is very good, with staff who speak Chinese, especially a young lady surnamed Chen who was very kind and friendly.
Very Good

GGuest UserWe could store our luggage before check in and after checkout. There’s a mall across the street, bus stops nearby and two mrt stations within 7/8 minutes walking distance.
Cchico fernandoHotel 81 in Singapore is a budget-friendly chain that offers great value for money and a convenient location, close to the MRT and shopping districts. The rooms are clean, tidy, and well-equipped. The front desk staff are friendly and can speak Chinese. The downsides are that the rooms are a bit small and the soundproofing isn't great. It's a good choice for travelers on a budget who prioritize convenience, and perfect for a short stay.
GGuest UserThey all said it was ***, but I didn't see anything when I went there. All I could tell was that it was full of Vietnamese girls. I saw Minghui Frog had over 4000 saves on Baidu Maps, so I walked three minutes to get there. The taste was just so-so, and they also charged a service fee and tax.
For those who are scared, those Indians really do look like NPCs in a game, standing on every street corner or lawn, not sure what they're doing. Their gaze is a bit unsettling. Other than that, everything else was fine.
The Indians who come to Singapore are all a bit ambitious. It's no different from us going to Dongguan to work as factory girls.
Tomorrow, I'm planning to go directly to Little India.
PS: My partner and I traveled together. She felt a little scared, but not much.
NNuha MuneerahI booked a queen room and upon checked in, my husband and I were upgraded to a much bigger room which might be a honeymoon suite 😍
Simple amenities provided. Shower gel, dental kit & towels.
However, mattress was a bit hard, so it is quite uncomfortable for me on the first night— unable to have proper sleep 😣 I also wish to have an extra pillows
Location is 💯 Close to Geylang market, halal food stores & walkable distance to MRT Paya Lebar
JJillianaaThe hotel was conveniently located and is easily found. My room was large and it made movement within the room very convenient. The bed was large and very comfortable and I like the colour and the decor in the room. I found the Reception Staff very friendly, fast and obliging.
XXiaozundeshaTraveling with a girlfriend, we had a lot of concerns before arriving, worrying that the hotel might be unsafe or unclean due to its location in ***. However, after staying for several days, overall, the hotel was quite good. The staff cleaned the room regularly, and both the front desk and service staff were very welcoming. The soundproofing in the hotel was also decent; we didn't hear much noise. The hotel is also very close to a bus stop, and there are many good restaurants, vending machines, and convenience stores nearby.
The only potential concern is that the *** shops across from the hotel open at night, and some young men stand outside the hotel entrance looking around. However, that's all it was; we didn't experience any harassment or unwanted approaches. If you're worried, I recommend taking a taxi, as the driver will drop you off right at the hotel entrance.
I would definitely stay at this hotel again next year if I have the chance!
CCINLLY TANWell, for this price, it is what it is—a bit old, no surprise there. But the staff at the front desk were really nice. The AC wasn't adjustable, and my toothpaste tube was open without a cap, so brushing my teeth was a struggle. Plus, there's a full-wall mirror in the room, which was a bit spooky for a solo traveler.
JjasmineThe room was a bit small, but it had everything I needed, and the location was fantastic! It's right on Joo Chiat Road, and you can easily walk to East Coast Park. Common Man is directly across the street. Plus, the front desk offered green apples every day – definitely a big plus!
GGuest UserThe nearest MRT Station is Little India but u hv to come out in collect way fr this MRT Station.
Better to find out fr information counter for the way.
We come out fr wrong exit make us can’t reach hotel. Actually it’s can reach hotel in 2 mins if u got the right exit.
Room is small but quite clean. No bottle water supply only hv filter tap water fr toilet. Have kettle.
If u don’t mind stay in a simple & budget hotel, it is alright to stay
GgracezouzouExcellent value for money! For the price, this hotel offers a fantastic experience in a prime Singapore location where space is at a premium.
The room, though compact, is well-designed, clean, and tidy. Our triple room had one large bed and one small bed. We did have a window, but it was always dark, likely a false window.
The bathroom is a bit small, and there's no complimentary bottled water, though a kettle is provided. (Most Singapore hotels don't offer bottled water anyway).
The location is superb, and the surroundings are quite pleasant. It's within walking distance to Paya Lebar MRT station. Right opposite is a Malay food court, and there are some Indian restaurants nearby. However, if you prefer Chinese food, you might want to be cautious. We walked about 15 minutes to the nearest Ya Kun Kaya Toast, which is right by the MRT station!
Front desk service was excellent, with staff able to communicate fluently in Mandarin. Check-in was efficient, and luggage storage was convenient.
