    Not very good for about $40/head. The rooms are cramp. Don't come here if you have large suitcases. Some of our travel mates checked in to their room that had soiled sheets. No air ciculation in these rooms. Showers had black mold if you look closely. They limit you to 2 towels per room and shampoo will cost you $1.00 per small bottle (usually free at most hotels). DO NOT STAY HERE! BEWARE OF NASTY MOLD AND CRAWLY THINGS. Location however is great though near plenty of food stalls (Chinese, Turkish, Serian, Indian, etc.).

    Overall stay is okay, just wish the place was wee bit cleaner and have better air ventilation. We stayed for 3 nights, 2 of the night there were someone else smoking in the other room, but due to bad ventilation we can smell it from our room. We gotten a private room with private toilet. The toilet smell musty and there were trash wedge in-between the bed and the wall corners. Overall is an okay experience for us. Wish we could have a better quality sleep thou.

    the room is small, but still comfortable, the pillow and bed is very comfortable, they served free breakfast as well, and they have laundry coin area.

    The hostel was fine. Rooms are quite small but facilities are clean. Staff was not especially friendly, but not unfriendly either. Location is great. All in all it is definitely value for money.

    we stayed for 3 nights. the room is VERY small and 2 bunk beds. there were 4 of us so it was really cramped. we had 2 big suitcases and 2 small one. they had to be placed under the bed because there were no room. the bathrooms are outside and it was clean enough. breakfast is so so, mainly toast. staff not too friendly. but overall the place is nice and comfy also very strategic.

    The place looks good on pictures and from the outside. But they charge for soap, towels and everything!! Our room smelled horrible and the bed was wet. We couldn't turn off the ac and the stuff there told us not to worry, it wasn't that cold... The changed our room, but it was almost the same. Dirty, humid, smelly. Staff not friendly at all. Not even worth trying!!

    Very clean room. Was shared with 4 peoples in 1 room, no complain but the lock of a cupboard doesn't work. Breakfast was okay, toast with jam and peanut butter and fresh juice. Location are nice, restaurants and cafes around, walking distance to Bugis MRT station and malls.

    Good location. But only that. Room was dirty and the bunk bed was creaking as if its going to fall apart. Even the ladder was broken. Reeked of insecticide. Bathroom had mold. Not worth it, not even for backpackers. Spend a little more elsewhere. Staff are helpful tho.

    Honestly I was quite scared after reading all the bad reviews but much to my surprise our room (room 121) (standard double w shared bathroom) was pretty clean for the price. Aside from minor cobwebs on the ceiling, bedsheets were clean, aircon was cold, basically it was value for money. Overall environment was wonderful. Room space was small tho. The bathroom could need more cleaning but it was ok. Location was very good, stone's throw away from Nicoll Highway station. The only thng is to remember to bring your own ear plugs as the walls are not noise proof; you can literally hear people talking and walking outside the corridors. My friend and I had nothing to complain about and would definitely love to stay at this place again.

    I would have give -10star. Very poor maintenance, moldy walls, rusty bathroom door, dirty and dusty bedsheet. Worst hostel I ever stay!!! I wanted to change place but my friend convince me that it's only for 1 night so bare with it. Couldn't sleep well at night as we are sleeping right below waste pipes, flushing and water flowing sound can be heard very clearly right above our head. We check out early in the morning, feel so refresh after step out from this place. Please don't waste your money here!

    We wanted a simple room to catch up on sleep between flights and shower. This was a chesp option near the impressive Sultan mosque and included simple breakfast. We had shared bathroom and needed to hire towels for $2 each. Definitely not fancy but a cheap stopover option that works

    The place is dirty and has not been maintained in a long time so everything is deteriorating. I had the misfortune of gettin 2 locas as roommates who came in at 4 or 5 am and made a lot of noise and then snores a lot so I was never able to get a good nights rest but this seems to be happening in most hostels in Singapore.... a lot of long term stays. Some of the staff were very friendly, nice and helpful. I only recommend staying here if you get a good deal.

    Easy access, strategic location, near food center and bar. Good bed, good bathroom, good kitchen. But sometimes the soap in bathroom is empty.

    Room was a bit small but I was happy that the staff were very friendly to me. I had a very comfortable stay here. Will be back again

    A central location hostel where I stay for my lodging easily car parking slot available

  • 4/5 Kinyanjui N. 4 years ago on Google
    Affordable and good if you're just stopping over briefly or back packing. Rooms are really really tiny and with no windows. Some rooms also share with other people be it male or female. Everybody is mixed in one room. The breakfast option is as good as not being there in the first place. Very very limited choice.

😠 First time in Singapore and the worst experience I’ve ever had in life. We didn’t like the beds and told the front desk we didn’t like it and we want our money back. They didn’t give our money back and we were kinda forced to stay just because our fees were not refundable. Very very congested. They...
