Not too recomended if you want a peacefull night and kinda too crowded. 1 room even had 10 persons in it. Perfect breeding ground for corona. Bed are clean, blanket a bit overused. Got locker in room but useless if guest had oversized back pack. So it's gonna crowded already jam pack space. Overral cleaness are standart. Got coffee,tea and chocolate.

I had an enjoyable stay at this hostel. It is in a great location and the staff are very friendly. They also provide privacy curtains for the bed and a plug socket. The only reason that I have not given this hostel 5 stars is because I don’t like the idea of having to take off my shoes upon entering the hostel. Would stay again if ever back in Singapore.

Hi, Thanks for the review and honest comments, we really appreciate it. We are glad to hear you enjoyed your stay with us. We don't provide slippers as it is common to walk around barefoot at home - we'd like our guests to feel at home! However, we provide bathroom slippers on the racks right outside each bathroom. We will warmly welcome you on your next stay with us!

the place is very convenient and can access to different tourist spots. There is only lacking in manpower as during the time of our stay the receptionist is also the one who assisted us to the room and all the stuff we need.

Hi CweetyGemash168, We are sorry your stay with us was not up to your expectations. Allow us to answer and hopefully clarify your comments. We ask our guests for not wearing shoes / sandals inside the hostel as it is common to walk around barefoot at home - we'd like our guests to feel at home! However, we provide bathroom slippers on the racks right outside each bathroom. We do advertise our room sizes and its' facilities on our website and third party reservation sites, we believe the pictures posted reflect the accurate beds at the rooms. Prices are typically slightly higher over the week end or during special event but rest assured we always ensure our prices are always competitive. Regarding the staff, could you write to us directly and let us know if there has been any incident you would like to share? We hope you will give us a second chance next time you are in town!

Although no curtains around the bunks, OK beds, great security using key scan cards. Clean bathrooms. Friendly, helpful staff, lots of information about Chinatown in the lobby. I didn’t use the common areas.

Easy to get from the airport, in the heart of Chinatown, walking distance to major touristic spots. Staff super friendly and helpful, especially Sabrina and Zi Kai helped figuring out daily trips to places to see and how to get there the easiest. No shoes policy, but is very clean so that was actually nice cause you felt like home, walking in from the wet perennial summer of Singapore, chilling under the AC in the lounge with nice comfy couches playing chess or watching Netflix. Kitchen with fridge and freezer well kept and furnished. Rooms clean and with big lockers for all your belongings, every bed as a curtain and plugs and light and a shelf. Will definitely recommend and be back!

A nice hostel in a perfect location. Clean, good environment. Everything you need! The top bunks do not have privacy curtains FYI. There is laundry onsite. No breakfast included but there is instant coffee.

feels a bit like home, very chill, staff is very friendly and the location is pretty good especially if you are arriving from the airport with the MRT it is just a very short way by walk to the Hostel. Have fun!
