Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests frequently highlight the spacious rooms at Hotel 81 Tristar, some even enjoyed views of Joo Chiat shopping complex and Geylang market. The hotel's location is appreciated for its proximity to diverse dining options, transportation, and the Paya Lebar MRT station. Also, the swimming pool on level 3 is often mentioned as a plus. While some guests noted minor signs of wear and tear in the rooms, the convenience of having coin laundry on the premises, along with a Cheers store and ATM on the ground floor, adds to the value.

Ideal Location and Spacious Rooms

convenient locationwide roomexcellent servicestrong pressure
I appreciated the location near food and shopping options. The rooms are big and wide creating a comfortable environment. I noticed the toilet water pressure in room 446 is strong it's almost like a water jet. The admin staff provided excellent service both during the day and at night.
I noticed a slight issue the hotel is a bit older with some marginal electric and plumbing needing updates
