    It's located in very strategic area, a lot of restaurants nearby, very close to masjid sultan and haji lane. The receptionist isn't available 24/7. The bed is pretty clean and comfy. The bathrooms are okay, can be more clean. And good thing, we can leave our bag there after we check out (in the hallway near the front door and the front door has no lock so don't leave any important stuff). They have really nice rooftop with pretty cool view. Breakfast are okay.

    Very dirty overall, not well maintained, unhygienic place Pros - location; price Cons - dirty bathrooms, hallways, staircase, room area, common kitchen area I am a female solo traveler and was in the 3rd floor ‘mixed’ room since there is no vacant in the female dorm. The 3rd floor bathroom was stinky, the strong smell of urine can be smelled in the bedroom area. I was not able to sleep properly, and always held my pee :( the place seriously needs renovation and additional staff for maintenance

    What I love about this Hostel is THE ROOFTOP. Rooftop located in 5th floor. It used for breakfast, refill the water from water Dispenser, or you just wanna chill and eat your own food. The room is actually needs some improvement. Because the Curtain in my bunker bed is already broken, just cover half of the space. The blanket was just horrible. Caution. The reception were only open from 10 AM - 9 pm. So, make sure you're check in at that time.

    The worse hosted experience! There was a bug in my bed. There was no one around to assist during breakfast, I end up not eating. WiFi is soooo slow! The CR is so 4th world. The hostel is so untidy.

    Even know the hostel wasn't so tidy from the outside but the room was quite clean and peaceful than the most capsule hotel on Singapore. They also giving you a freedom to check in late if you confurm that you will be checked in late at night. A really simple check in. there are no soap,shampoo, and towel but it was reasonable because the price was really cheap even for a backpacker. so you better prepare it yourself.

    The bed is clean and comfy enough but they didn't clean the room so I found a lot of hair loss, sand & piece of paper. The serve is bad, they said I got breakfast but it didn't. But for solo traveling this hostel is comfy enough, near MRT station and Masjid Sultan.

    This place is awesome. The bed is comfortable. The top floor provide the beauty of Singapore. I love the moment when I saw sunrise from the top floor. This hostel worth the price.

    Nice and comfy bed. Located nearby with the tourist attractions. Easy to find food with lots of restaurants nearby. The management need to pay more attention on the cleanliness especially at the bathroom and the stairway.. The access card the I got can't be used to unlock the door...

    Staff have Altitude. Tried to Checkin at 2pm. Clerks only response was Checkin is at 3pm with a sour attitude. Requested lower bunk 4 days in advance when booking due to injured foot. Lower bunk not available... when checking in clerk started to take a photo of my passport with out asking. Said it was not possible to Checkin without photo of passport. Spoke with manager and checked in. Location right in tourist Arab Street for shopping for Arab goods. Relatively inexpensive for Singapore. Too many bunks in the room. Too crowded. Stayed in worse places tho. Poor attitude from the staff make it a bad experience.

  • 5/5 Mark Raymund N. 5 years ago on Google
    Budget friendly dormitory for budget conscious travellers and backpackers.. Very near some tourist sites.. Nice rooms and bunk beds... Fast Internet connection.. Free bread, coffee, peanut butter/strawberry jam/butter for breakfast which starts at 8:30am.. However, when you book make sure to confirm room assignments as the mixed dormitories are in the 4th floor and their is no elevator

    Room is okay but unfortunately my bed is located at the worst location where no cold air from ac reach there and the air flow from the fan also didn't reach here. I couldn't sleep at all as it is too hot and i start to sweat a lot. The curtains to cover the bed is dirty and smelly. Toilet is dirty. Seems like it's never been cleaned at all. The door doesn't have lock at all and they just cover it with a paper. The best thing is only the location but you can find a better hostel with same price or even cheaper
