My stay at Hotel 81 Osaka was a mixed experience. The location is fantastic, just a short walk to several eateries and a good MRT station, making it easy to explore. However, the room was tiny and cramped, making it challenging for me. The staff were friendly and accommodating, which added to the overall experience, but the lack of basic amenities like a fridge was a downside.

I had a last-minute stay at Hotel 81 Osaka, and it was just what I needed. The location was spot on, with Tiong Bahru and Outram Park MRT stations only a short walk away. My room was small but clean, although it lacked some amenities like a fridge. The staff seemed friendly, but they didn’t offer much help with local tips. Overall, it’s great if you're on a budget but don't expect luxury.

Rooms

6.0

The room was compact and basic, but that’s what I expected for the price. I found the bed comfortable, though my husband thought it was too hard. The shower and toilet being in one space was a bit odd, but apparently, that's common in Singapore.

On the positive side, I found the staff to be friendly and the room functional… but there were some disappointments like the limited water supply and noise disruptions. Overall, it’s a budget hotel with a decent location, but you should know what you're getting into.

Rooms

The hotel's location was quite close to Outram Park MRT, making it easy to access public transport. Still, a bit of a trek if you take the wrong exit from the station… not ideal for someone with a lot of luggage.
