2/10 Poor

Terrible experience
Customer support was not contactable at all and room policy not clear. We ended up seeing the room but leaving right away. Easily one of the worst.

Location great, everything else not so great.
Excellent location, but promised free WiFi non-existent in rooms, had to go outside room. Very cramped room. If you want extremely basic accommodation in a great location, it's OK.

8/10 Very good

Price per night was ok. 1h 15 minutes by metro from the airport. It’s an affordable option so expectations should be also low, however the hostel should improve cleanliness. Staff was not available after 5 pm. There was no information how to contact them after that hour. On the plus side: localization ok, close to dining options (i.e., Maxwell market) and to the ChinaTown metro station. Also walkable distance to Singapore Bay Area (30 minutes, note that you will be walking in sun and high humidity). Easy checkin/checkout process.

Value for money stay for a simple accommodation yet right in and convenient access to Chinatown, and short walk to MRT station.

6/10 Good

Not the best, not the worst.
The hostel itself was in a prime location. However, the rooms were extremely cramped with very little room to move around. Lockers were not big enough for large baggage so had to remain on the floor (creating less space) beds were very comfy with good quality bedding. The hostel could do with more bathrooms as 2 toilets per floor wasn’t enough, and it could do with separate toilet/showers as people showering also took up the toilet for sometime. The kitchen was fantastic with adequate seating. This hostel was also not your typical hostel. It was filled with non backpacker type people. People with no hostel etiquette such as waking the whole room up at 5am or leaving the door wide open on a night. There were also family’s who would take up the whole room, making a solo traveler (like myself) very uncomfortable as I felt like I was intruding. Also the rules of the hostel did not seem to be enforced at all. There were very young children running around (naked) when the hostel was supposed to be 15+ and there were people cooking full meals in the bedrooms, using plug in appliances despite myself being told no food in the rooms. Overall, the hostel attitude could do with some improvement and some extra toilets would not go a miss

6/10 Good

No reception access beyond 10:00-19:00 Steep stairs from ground all the way up to reception or rooms on following levels. On 2 levels (with about 100 ppl each), no separate toilets After check in, street ware (shoes) within property, not allowed. Small fridge, only microwave, hot/ cold drinking water is available. No air con in dining area. Jammed small room, comphy bed with nice new beddings (sheet, quilts, mattrass). Only local (British) power outlets (without shelves), accessible from bed. Excellent location, though. Easy access to China Towe, People's Park, MRT (DT19) All in all, good for the money.
