My stay at Hotel 81 Geylang was quite the experience. The location was vibrant and full of life, surrounded by plenty of good food options. However, the room was smaller than expected and had a few cleanliness issues that dampened my overall impression. Still, for budget travelers like me, it offers an interesting glimpse into Singapore's nightlife.

I had an interesting experience at Hotel 81 Geylang. The staff were incredibly friendly and the location offered a unique glimpse into Singapore's nightlife, but the room left a lot to be desired in terms of cleanliness and comfort.

Overall, there are pros and cons to consider! 😊
