If you want the tourist experience or satellite TV or are prone to finding fault with everything, then maybe Orchard Rd or elsewhere is for you. However, if you want to experience Singapore then there is no better place to be than in the heart of 'Malay' Singapore, and the Tristar is perfectly located for this.
The room was large, clean and comfortable. Service was with a smile, the staff were very attentive and responded quickly to our requests. Location was great with busses only 2 min walk, train under 10 min walk and taxis everywhere. Overall it was a very convenient location to explore the Island.
While breakfast wasn't great, it was adequate (juice certainly was not watered down) and was relaxingly served beside the pool. Local places to eat were abundant and the food was amazing. As this is the Malay quarter of Singapore it is accordingly Muslin and menus reflect that. This is nothing to be concerned about, just don't expect pork to be served.
Hotel81 Tristar offers good value for money and a pleasant 2/3 star stay in Singapore

| "room was big and OK, but if you need housekeeping to make up room, you need to call the reception and only make up once each day. Any additional request for make up room, you need to agree on the phone to pay S$5 and on top of that the foreign workers who cleans your room needs a tip and doesnt understand english!
I had a "Make Up Room" tag on my door for 14 hours and still no one cares. until i agree to the S$5 per make up room charge!" |

| "We stayed only one night but the room we had was perfect for that purpose and would be Ok for a few nights. We did not use any of the hotels facilities as we had no time but if they are as clean and as practical as our room we certainly would. Ideal for us." |

| "Good location, cheap taxi ride from the airport and just a few minutes walk to the station. The room was large enough for me and my two children, and the pool was the best antidote for our terrible jetlag. Breakfast adequate. Overall excellent for the price and would definitely stay again." |
