This place was great value for money - Ali is a friendly and welcoming host and the place has an excellent location, right by the MRT. The air con is a bit noisy - they could do with sorting that out. But the bathrooms are spotless and there is always tea, coffee and toast in the morning. All in all,... More

My girlfriend and I have been traveling aound S.E Asia for four months staying almost entirely in budget priced guesthouses and hostels through Malaysia, Loas,Veitnam, Cambodia and finaly Singapore and of all the places we stayed at, some were in very poor countries with the most basic of facilities but when compared to this hostel they were the Hilton! We... More

This is a good hostel. I stayed with my friend for 5 nights. Mr. Ali owner of the guest house is a nice person. I like my stay there. It is very close to MRT station. Breakfast is provided free of cost. Free tea/coffee all the day. AC rooms are OK. Bathroom and toilets are also O.K.

Basic, but cheap (for Singapore) and clean sums this place up. Breakfast of toast, jam, tea/coffee included. I paid S$25 for a single room. Rooms very basic (and mine also up a steep, potentially dangerous, stairway from the kitchen area) - just a bed, but shared bathroom always seemed to be clean. Some "colourful" characters come with the place, long-term... More

Stayed here a couple nights so that I could travel back into Malaysia. Exit the subway and turn left and you're at Ali's Nest. Couldn't ask for a place more convenient. Rooms are upstairs of an old building in little india. Rooms are clean, very simple and some have A/C. There is one dorm room and at the time I... More

I have several problems with this place. First and foremost, it is hugely annoying (and rude) of the owner not to reply to any emails. I have contacted Ali one week before our arrival in Singapore to book a room and asked for a quick email back to confirm our booking. Standard procedure. Never got a reply. I then emailed... More

Singapore is so expensive compared to other Asian countries so it was a great surprise to find a place that only charges 35 Singaporean dollars for 2 persons in a private room with aircondition. Ali's Nest is not for everyone. This is a place for people who are OK in a basic room (just bed and air-con or bed and... More

We stayed at Ali's for four nights at the beginning of Nov 2010. Rooms and bathrooms are clean, simple but adequate - and at $sin35 for a double, aircon room, probably the cheapest in Singapore.  The guest house is right in the middle of Little India and close to MRT stations and bus routes.  I'd definately stay there again.
