    • Bed in 6-Bed Mixed Dormitory Room
    • Stayed 4 nights

    We had a relatively small room that had no windows, which came as a surprise because these were the most expensive beds to reserve. We booked the room with 6 beds. Also, air conditioning is only on from 9 in the evening until 9 in the morning.

    Overall a good cleanliness and very friendly staff. The common area is spacious and there is a good frigde and a good microwave to use. Fresh water is available.

    Feels a bit uncorfortable with lots of men sitting shirtless in the small common area...some in their underwear. AC only works from 9pm to 9am, so it is a sweaty place.

    Great location! Close to Marina Bay and all atractions.

    I don't like only as it's located at 4th floor only. If you bring big luggage is uncomfortable to bring upstairs.

    The staff is friendly, the cleanliness is unexpected managed well. The location is very good. Near to Clarke Quay MRT Station, Hawker Centre, Bus Stop and nightlife bar. Overall is good

    walking up 3 floors to get to your room, having your blanket stolen when you’re out, the big room was not very clean and had a weird smell.

    the property had abundant of food and drinks, basic amenities like fridge and microwave.

    Think the value for money isn't very good, really small room without window. Also, top bunks don't have any curtains, so there is no privacy and also no protection from lights going on and off. Also, it might just be unlucky that the night I stayed, there was quite a lot of noise, with it being so small and nothing soundproof, really didn't get much sleep at all.

    Great location, close to Chinatown, which I found to be a great area of Singapore.

    There are only people at reception during some hours in the day. The building is a bit sketchy.

    Like other budget accommodations in Singapore, but this one was on the more positive side because at least there was a comfortable common area to hang out in.

    Reception is empty between 11am and 16pm meaning that on check in or check out day, you cannot drop off/pick up your bag as you wish The A/C at night was very cold but we weren’t able to control it

    There is an unpleasant smell in some parts of the hostel, which is probably due to the overused filters of AC.

    Facilities were adequate but not particularly clean given the price, and pretty sure the bedsheets aren’t changed after each use. The reception times were a bit awkward and the fees seemed excessive if checking in during their outside hours which I feel would usually be popular check-in times. We happened to have a late departure to our next destination so we were allowed to store luggage but only until 8pm as that would be when reception closed…although the workers were usually still there. I understand the situation but again, it seemed a bit much considering that I didn’t see any harm if we were planning to just chill and wait until an appropriate time to leave - we likely would’ve gone out to explore a bit more and return at a later time to get our luggage but again, weird reception operational hours.

    Fantastic location - walking distance to the quay, chinatown, MRT, and buses. Across from a 7-11 as well if you needed to get any snacks or refreshments. Bar next door had reasonably-priced drinks and friendly owners - defs go check out 31 Hong Kong Street (Gully)!

    The places was clean and the receptionist was personally very nice with me but the next morning the whole hostel heard her screaming at some guests because they were a few minutes late to check out. The check out time is also extremely early at 10am even though it said 11am online. The atmosphere overall didn't feel very social and friendly. The rooms are also very small and have very little natural light coming in so it feels a bit claustrophobic, but at the same time it's the cheapest hostel in Singapore
