3 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 April 2012

This hostel has big rooms with attached toilet but very outdated. Needs repainting, tiles in the bathroom should also be replaced. This hostel rate is reasonable, comes with free breakfast (toast, egg, coffee). Very very good location, very near to Bras basah station ... 2 min walk.

I stayed in a double room here for a little over a month recently while working in Singapore, and was not impressed. The entire building is very dated, as is the decor in the rooms. All of the fixtures and fittings are old, and the bed (although comfy) had a lot of stains on it. The sheets (which were all... More

This cost a small fortune and to date is the most expensive place that we have stayed in 3 months travelling South East Asia. The rooms are large with tv, en suite etc but are very dated and smell a little. You'll be far better off staying down the road in South East Asia Hotel.

This place was in a good location and quiet but you may not enjoy unless you are a smoker... the resident staff member smoked in the corridor in the hallway and other guests did the same. Smoke did not have anyway to escape and was very strong especially in our room-. We did expect some smoke after travelling through asia... More

We spent about 3 nights at this hostel, and were really happy that for the low price we could stay in such a central location. We had a room with private bathroom which was comfortable and clean, the location was extremely quiet and felt very safe, staff were very polite and professional. We just needed a decent, clean place to... More

Waterloo hostel is a budget living space for single travellers. Clean common bathrooms, breakfast which feels more like you are eating in someone’s house with some amount of self service. Staff is good, helpful ,as you would expect in a place run by a Catholic church. Safety is high – women stay on a different floor. Costs 90 Singapore dollars... More

It's a good place to stay in singapore wherein it's convenient to the must places you wanted to visit and see. The only thing is, the breakfast served needs variation but generally, everything is okey..

There are a lot of pluses, mostly the location and room size. But there isn't a fun-friendly hostel atmosphere. It's too quiet.

We arrived in Singapore straight from England and felt that it was worth booking some accommodation there, the Waterloo seemed to be highly rated (on other sites at least), so we booked a room there. The room seemed to be pretty clean and was very spacious, it had AC as well which worked pretty well, especially given the size of... More
