The room was quite small, but hey,what could you expect with only SGD 20/night?...This room was only meant to sleep at night as I spent almost the whole day outside the hostel My rooms was at 3rd...

First of all, you should keep in mind that this is an hostel with shared area, so this should be rated as per it's category, not like an hotel. I was welcomed by a friendly lady who showed me the room, I was surprised by the cleanliness of the place, bed sheet & blanket smelt good, confy bed & pillow.... More

Do not go here no matter how cheap it is compared to other places. Words cannot explain how dirty, disgusting and rundown the place is. The owner should spend less time in printing warnings to put on the wall and more in cleaning up. I couldn't use the toilet for the entire stay if you really want to know how... More

We changed our plan so arrive Singapore earlier and was introduced to this terrible hostel. The room is not a real room. We had to sleep with staff. A bar is under the hostel so it's very noisy at night. People who have sleep problem should not go there. Bathroom is extremely small so we had to take shower on... More

We spend one night in this hostel, at the end of a business trip to Singapore. The location is good - only a short walk from Chinatown MRT, and near the foodcourts. We had a private room with a double bed. The room was quite small and impossible to walk around the bed. The common area had a small kitchen... More

This was my first experience in a hostel and I gotta say, it was great. I had zero expectations, only needing a bed for a night, and was pleasantly surprised that it was comfortable and stress free. I was tired of lugging around my overnight backpack and stumbled across this hostel, it was what it was. Inexpensive, clean, free wifi,... More
