Hotel 81 Tristar  

In east Singapore, halfway between the airport and the city. About a 15-minute drive from the expo centre and roughly 10 minutes on foot to a major MRT station. Steps from a lively Malay cultural village with daily shows and a short drive to the East Coast waterfront dining strip and sports hubs.

A compact four-storey city hotel with 117 rooms, including six suites, built for value and comfort. Rooms are air-conditioned and simple but roomy, with flat-screen TVs, minibars, hairdryers and private bathrooms. Expect basic in-room extras like desks and electric kettles; some room types offer bathrobes and slippers.

Family-friendly spot with an outdoor pool and a poolside breakfast area — good for lazy mornings by the water. On-site parking, 24-hour reception, concierge and a gift shop keep things easy. Tour desk and transfer services help you explore the city.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi is available on the property. Practical services include express check-out, luggage storage and a 24-hour front desk.

An on-site restaurant and a cafe serve guests, and the poolside area offers a simple Asian buffet breakfast. The neighbourhood is packed with authentic Malay eateries and seafood stalls along the nearby coast for regional flavor.
