    Fabulous Stay

    The bunk beds feel a little bit unestable.

    Placed in the heart of Chinatown, the location is unbeatable. Friendly staff, nice chilling spaces. If you want a nice experience in Singapore, this is the place.

    The bathroom facilities need to be updated and if there was a way to have airconditioning throughout the hostel that would be a massive improvement. Showering was always challenging with so many people and near impossible to stay clean and dry long enough to get dressed. Also, there is no credit card machine on the property so you have to leave and walk to a pastry show about 7 min away to pay for your stay if you don't have cash.

    The location was great and the staff were friendly and helpful. The biggest draw of a hostel like this is that this hostel caters specifically to backpackers so it made it easier to meet new people! However there were no social activities organized by the hostel other than instructions to walk to the Super grove trees. Having activities planned would help deliver the social aspect the hostel is promoting.

    As others have mentioned, the beds are rather short. I‘m 1.70m and had to lie diagonally to not touch the walls. Matress was quite hard as well. Would still go there again!

    Friendly and helpful staff, great location. Everyone in the room was very considerate to not be noisy.

    It has a better place for shower than reviews before. Meanwhile, it offers authentic Kaya Toast breakfast complimentarily to every backpackers! What's more, good location with 24hrs opened lobby allows visitors to spend whole day on city exploring!

    The bathrooms are tiny on the first floor with attached showers and toilets in the same small cubicle. They were neat and clean but very small

    The most beautiful thing about this place is the staff and its location. The staff is so kind and helpful and always looking to make the stay as comfortable as possible. The location was ideal , just 2 mins from the train station and hawkers market! Definitely recommend it

    The bunk curtains don't close all the way which means some light gets in. Not really a big deal if you have an eye mask, but it can be a bit annoying. You also need to keep your curtain open early in the evening while the air con is turned back on because the bunks can get quite stuffy otherwise. The single blanket is mostly fine for the heat but a flat sheet might be even better especially on the really hot nights. These are only minor things which didn't really impact my stay very much though!

    Staff are extremely friendly and go above and beyond! They organise a nightly excursion to the Marina Bay Sands and will give you free snacks if you're near reception 😉 The common area downstairs makes it easy to make friends and talk to other travellers. Breakfast is simple but everything you need in a hostel. The bunks are plenty spacious with comfy mattresses.

    The showers and bathrooms on the top floor weren't great and we didn't have a lock on our door like the rest of the dorms

    The vibe was cool, staff was welcoming and super lovely. I enjoyed my stay here.

    No curtains on the bunk beds, felt very cramped and didn't feel too private.

    Nice location in Chinatown, walking distance to a lot of the attractions. Small breakfast with teas, coffees and juices. Near the metro stations so easy travel to and from the airport and to other locations.

    The mattress was not flat and dipped in the middle. This was not a very comfortable sleep, so wasn't able to sleep well.

    The atmosphere and service. The capsule has a smart TV and headphones, which was great. Being awake at this location is great..

    There was no window in the ladies room. I would not recommend it to people suffering from claustrophobia. A hair dryer in the bathrooms would be great.

    Very nice and helpful people working there. I arrived in the middle of the night, the reception is open 24h. I also forgot my universal adapter and the lady at the reception lent me one for the three days I stayed at the hostel. They provide a towel, and there is soap in the shower. They offer breakfast: coffee/tea and toasts. The Chinatown MRT (metro) is a 5-minute walk away from the hostel. There are lockers in the room to leave your valuables.

    I liked this hostel, it is closer to the main attractions like the gardens by the bay and marina bay sands, also it is near the tren station, the only thing is that the beds don't have cortine this part could be better.

    During housekeeping time they will just rush into your room without any warning. Kinda shocking 😅

    Walking distance to maxwell hawker centre. Near chinatown mrt station. Strategic place. A good place to crash your night. Cozy common area too. But remember not to bring food inside the room.
