    Very centrally located just a few steps from metro station. The stuff was kind and helpful, especially the young lady!Breakfast was basic, but ok. Finally, there is space for washing and drying clothes

    The room door lock not working have to leave it open so it's not so convenient during the stay. Staff tried to repair but can't fixed it.

    great location as it just opposite of the MRT station, friendly and helpful staff.

    if it is something you want - we didnt care - this is not a place to socialize or hang out. there are virtually 3 tables on the terrace and no common spaces that would invite any interaction. it’s a transit place, people are basically passing by. there are many many people, even families with kids.

    the rooms and beds are great. each bed has a curtain, socket, light etc, the room has a lot of light and is well ventilated. there are digital lockers too. the breakfast is a big bonus, toast with jam and peanut butter, various types or cereal with fresh milk, coffee and tea. the bathrooms upstairs are big, all bathrooms are modern and cleaned regularly. overall very clean given the number of people. unbeatable location. great value for money.

    Sometimes at night it can be noisy as some people who will turn and hit walls 😂. Overall it's good for a short stay.

    The bed was comfortable and the location was perfect as I'ts central and I met new people as well.

    Not that many restrooms and showers to use when hostel is fully booked. Other than that nothing to complain about.

    This is a very nice hostel to stay in while in Singapore. The beds are comfy, the rooms are quiet. There's breakfast for free. The WiFi is working well and you can walk to a lot of places from here. I slept like a baby.

    Nothing to dislike, you just need to have the right expectations. The issue of not having an elevator should be clearly communicated, but I believe it was.

    Great location and convenience of access. The room was comfortable. The place has a hostel vibe, but our private room was conveniently located near the showers/bathrooms, which were clean.

    There was no elevator, but it’s located in 2nd floor. So be aware when you’re carrying heavy luggage. Wish they have mirror inside the female dorm.

    The location, very close to Chinatown MRT st. Female dorm. Breakfast included in the price. Towels and blankets included in the price. Was possible doing early check in (i arrived around 12 pm). They have locker and the key is automatic, so no need to rent key lock.

    Some male guests walk around without wearing shirts. Some female guests only wear towel when going to the shower/bathroom. I think management should ban, or at least discourage, this kind of behavior. It is a hostel not their home. Other thing is normal common courtesy: guest entering common room at very late hours (almost dawn), listening to their social media feeds without using headphones.

    Very close to Chinatown MRT. Literally right across the street.

    The curtains around the beds didn’t close completely, so privacy felt limited. The bed sheets felt a bit thin and low-quality, and it got quite hot inside the bed area when the curtain was closed, likely due to poor ventilation.

    I stayed here for four nights and had a fairly pleasant experience. The hostel is clean and feels spacious. there were 4 toilet and shower in each floor and were well-maintained/cleaned. also having a personal locker for security. AC was strong. Despite some issues, it was a decent place, especially if cleanliness and space are your top priorities.

    For the private room, it would have been nice to have 2 chairs and a table in the room, instead of the beds being the only place to relax. Also, breakfast was very basic—bread, jam and other spreads and milk and cereal.

    Loved the location, value, and cleanliness. Staff were helpful.

    It’s a bit damp with water dispenser as the tap not match with water bottle nor hands. So the place always got damped. Bathroom a bit too narrow. If could provide separate bathroom & toilet shall be superb !! but it’s fine as this low price Still recommend this nice & clean hostel

    Location superb, free flow coffee& tea, breakfast generosity not only white but also whole wheat bread, cereal & even soya milk besides normal milk Cleanliness is also good based on understanding as sharing room & bathroom Staff are always helpful & ready to help all the times … great !
