This hostel is a really nice place to stay and we had a great experience. I recommend this hotel if you come to Singapore. When I came to Singapore for 2 nights, I felt really comfortable at home and it was a really nice place close to everything. It's true, trust me.

Myself and my boyfriend stayed in a 10 bed mixed room for 3 nights, and were desperate to see the back of this hostel.
The room was extremely small and dirty. 5 bunks lined the walls, and there was enough room for one person to walk down the middle. No curtains. Lockers too small for backpacks. Aircon barely worked, was very loud and dripping onto my bed, did not cool the room down properly. Squished 2 bugs in my bed.
Bathrooms disgusting. Ants and spiders on the walls. No toilet roll half the time. Men use the female only bathrooms.
Other tenants were mainly an older crowd, no social backpacker feel. Most of them were in bed by 7pm got up early, looked like they were long term tenants going to work.

Only good thing about this hostel is the location. If we were to come to Singapore again, we’d get cheaper accommodation on the outskirts and use the Metro to get to the centre, it was extremely easy and cheap to use.
Would not recommend!!!

Beary not the BEST.
I stayed in a sharing room with one toilet and bath. However, the room was sharing with long staying tenants. Clothes hanging everywhere. A/c was not on the whole day. Which was not informed at all. Should have stayed for 2 nights but I just left the next day. Terrible front desk. No towels as well, again was never mentioned on the website about this. DO NOT STAY.

Room tip: Do not stay

Absolutely awful hostel

The advertised enhanced cleaning, social distancing, AC did not exist

The hostel also houses local and migrant workers, albeit in their own dorm, but they still share the shared washing and toileting facilities. The state is these was a disgrace including faeces on the toilet wall!!

I had cumulative rubbish under my bottom bunk with no privacy curtain and a non lockable allocated locker

The stock photos of this hostel are not accurate as there are no soft furnishings in the lounge area, only hard stools with a smoking area inside the communal dorms!!!

The fridge was delapidated and rusty and the bedding which was inside the locker had to be made on arrival, which was frustrating after a long journey

The bedding was thin and of poor quality along no towel, which was at least the latter was advertised accurately

My standards aren't high as I've stayed in 3rd world country dorms with this being the worst

The 4-5* reviews are either bogus or judging from their nationalities their hostel experiences are of low expectations for the price paid

I had booked a 5 night stay but left after 2 nights as it was so horrible...didn't care about not getting a 3 night unused refund

I moved to the Chic Capsule Hostel. 5 min walk from this hell hole

Yes, I did complain at the time but their response was a standard...sorry

I have also raised a complaint with Hotel.com who are taking the above seriously as this establishment is being used under false pretences and advertisement

Room tip: Simply...book elsewhere. Bring a towel too if u do stay

We've had a wonderful stay in Bear Best! Great location, very near the MRT stations and 7/11s, some tourist spots are walkable. They have very friendly and helpful staff. The beds are comfortable and sleeping room is clean. They provide free coffee and tea. They just need to work on the cleanliness in the pantry area and keep the microwave clean. But all in all, this hostel is great!!
