    No lift. No ground floor. 2nd floor is only receptions and seating area. If you have heavy luggage, consider about how to bring it to your room on the 3rd or 4th floor. Prepare 20sgd for deposit.

    Good price for couple bed. Pretty close to the station from airport (1 hour travel), close to merlion with 10mins walk distance.

    I was not notified that air-con unit replacement will be taking place during my stay, and only realised when I went back to my room wanting to relax after being out the whole morning. The whole room was dusty and stuffy, making it uncomfortable and impossible to rest in. The replacement also took up the whole day. Would’ve appreciated a heads up upon check-in.

    Excellent location, walking distance to several MRT stations and bus stops. Surrounding restaurant selections were pretty great as well. Soundproofing is done quite nicely, I barely noticed the nightclubbing going on downstairs despite being a pretty light sleeper. Friendly staff as well.

    The bathroom could do with a deeper clean. The power plugs by the double beds don’t work.

    The staff were great and the location was superb. The bed was comfy and the layout of the common space and the rooms worked well.

    Cleanliness could be improved.

    It's near Clarke Quay station and to almost any touristy place you'd like to see in SG, i.e. Merlion Park with view of Marina Bay, Fort Canning Park.

    The level 4 security door latch was nearly falling off and didnt always close and lock. Which means anyone from off the street could get into the rooms. The building really needs a security door lock at street level. Staff were good but the hrs they were there were a bit light on. We barely made the 6.00pm knockoff. The level 4 bathroom although clean and functional, is in dire need of a major update, it looks like its been thrown together by bits of offcuts etc. And the whole place needs a going over its looking very tired in places. Eg the switch near our bed was stuffed.

    Overall it was reasonably good, our bunk bed was good. And the ac worked as well. Nice and clean.

    Bed super uncomfy and construction work started early (around 8am) - felt like the wall was being drilled through. Woke me up through earplugs.

    Great location and design of hostel. Clean and staff friendly.

    The staffs are friendly and the location of the hostel is great because of it’s proximity to different iconic Singapore attractions.

    No breakfast or toiletries were given. Although toiletries was mentioned in the hotel amenities. The bathroom attachments were not good. Some were broken and it was hard to use.

    The location was best. Room was clean and tidy. Staff was courteous. It was nearby metro so traveling was very easy to do so.

    Be aware that you only have curtains to separate the rooms and the street can be pretty loud at night, so bring your earplugs !

    Cool place to stay in Singapore if you want to visit for a few days.

    There was work going on next door so lots of drilling early in the mornings. The shower was all stained, which made it look unclean, as were the curtains around my bed. The velcro (that was meant to keep the curtains around the bed closed) had come off so every time someone walked past, the curtain wafted open which meant it wasn't very private. It was also very hot, with no way of adjusting the air-conditioning and the remotes being left out meant that other guests could turn it off. There was meant to be complimentary coffee on offer, but the coffee machine was broken so that wasn't ideal. Overall, the place looked tired compared to the pictures shown in the listing.

    Great location for walking to the main attractions.

    No space at all except the double bed...had to open my small suitcase in the walkway next to our bed. Even a tiny bedside table would have been good to have next to the bed. Also the curtains to separate the beds from the other beds allowed us to hear everyone else in the room which was annoying when we were trying to sleep...

    We liked the lounge room where we sat to eat and relax after arrival. The decor was amazing! All the little nick nacks added such a nice touch.

    Loud and inconsiderate guests, talking on the phone, chatting, and singing in their rooms throughout the night. Unfortunately, couples are allowed to share beds, leading to numerous "campers" ensuring the stay is highly unpleasant. Only one toilet is available for the entire floor, and there’s no air conditioning in the toilet or shower, making it extremely hot and humid.

    Great location. Bars and restaurants nearby. Free coffee.
