Quite a small room, but felt it was good value. Very clean and great location. Helpful staff. Only issue was getting the temperature in the room comfortable as it was often either too hot or too cold!

Hi dansC1859QF, Thank you for taking the time to review our hostel, it really means a lot to us. The right temperature is quite tricky in shared living spaces, some like it very cold, some prefer it moderately cold. Be assured we do our best to satisfy the majority of our guest! We hope to be able to host you again any time :)

I used capsule room and it was the first time I ever used it in my life. It was surprisingly well aired, comfortable to sleep. last few days of my standing there was a bit of an overuse of air fragrances. not a big deal at all. Thanks!

Clean Hostel, reasonable price, enthusiastic and attentive staff. Hostel is in the center, near MRT station, bus station, near food court and Chinese market. Suitable for people traveling alone or traveling on their own. I will come back here if I return to Singapore.

Just fine. Windows didn't stay closed (bad latch) so AC could only do so much, bathrooms weren't cleaned, no towels offered. Location ok, right across from metro stop, food options nearby. Not a great value for the money.

Hi Kathleen, Thank you for your comments. We are truly sorry you did not enjoy your short stay with us. We have checked the windows latch in our dorms to ensure they can be closed properly. We work really hard to make sure that all our guests feel welcomed and also have a clean and comfortable environment to rest. We will pass on your feedback to our housekeeping team, so that we can improve further - we do thorough housekeeping every day, and also have deep cleaning sessions scheduled, so that the hostel is well maintained and clean. We hope it assures you that we take immediate action upon receiving feedback and we welcome our guests to let us know how we can improve your stay. Most of our guests prefer to use their own towels, hence we provide them at a small fee to other guests who don't. We hope we will have the chance to host you again soon!

Great location! Friendly staff and atmosphere! Very comfy beds and personal lockers on your room, although you will need your own lock or also available at reception. You can sign in into free City tours!

A great hostel in a perfect location. Right in Chinatown with lots of places to eat & drink. 1/2hr walking distance from the marina or right across the road from the metro station. Definitely the best way of getting around the city. It's very cheap & so easy to use. Forget taxi & busses. You can get to this hostel from the airport in 35/40 mins & costs around $2.50! Staff are super friendly, they let me check in early to shower & change & very helpful with information on Singapore. I had a private room as I needed 1 proper night sleep! which had a fan AND air con, it's comfortable and clean, bathrooms have good showers & is clean. Definitely recommend

I recommend this hostel not just it's affordable but because it's just across the Chinatown MRT Station. You don't have to worry about the location since it's very central. When you go out from the hostel just walk around and food hop to every food stall, hawker centers at Chinatown Complex that you can find. Also the place is so neat and quiet. :-)

I stayed in Singapore for a bout a week and the hostel was really nice and clean. The air-con was good and the beds were pretty comfy, also the majority of staff were super nice and happy to help. The only problems were that there was no air-con in the bathroom so it was a bit of a rush out of the shower to get back to the air-con in the room. Also there was just no atmosphere in the hostel, that wasn’t a massive problem though as Singapore backpackers Facebook forum is pretty good and I just met some friends on that.

Hi Hannah, Thanks for your review. We are glad to hear you had a pleasant stay with us. There's no aircon in the bathrooms as guests don't spend much time in the bathroom, it is also as part of our participation in conserving energy. Hostels are meant for communal living, there's a public space for you to enjoy and mingle with other guests and we are happy that you met some friends from the backpackers forum. If you are ever back in Singapore we would warmly welcome you again!
