    I stayed at the CSW Hostel in Singapore, and overall, it gets a solid 4.5 stars from me. The hostel's location in Chinatown is fantastic. They offer free Wi-Fi, and each room comes with lockers and shared bathroom facilities. There are also bars, restaurants, tour desks, laundry services close-by. CSW has luggage storage available, which adds convenience to the stay. However, the hostel lacks a social area, and I noticed that people didn't really mingle with each other, with no events offered by the hostel to encourage interaction. Sarah, the host, was super friendly and always ready to help and chitchat, which was a plus. The rooms, though, had a weird smell to them. A thorough cleaning (curtains, walls, just everything) or a good air freshener might help with this issue. Considering everything, it's a decent place to stay with a great location, but it could improve in certain areas.

    One of the best in customer service in my experience so far. Ms. Sarah is very accomodating to lay everything we need. We love the community where it is located, very near to hawker centers, shops, mrt and the locals near Chinatown Complex are just amazing to watch.

    Super friendly reception lady. Nice cold water and AC, even too cold, haha. Amazing location with the stairs taking you right out to the middle of Chinatown.

    Both strength and weakness of this hostel is Location! It is located in china town and very close to the china town MRT station but it is hard to find and I had to find it three times because it is on the second floor. The hostel is a bit small especially the toilet and bathroom and have only one for the mix room. In general it is still okay for me to stay at there.

    Sarah was super helpful, and full of advice and information. Bed was comfy and the place was clean. Excellent location, very close to the Maxwell Street MRT in Chinatown. Pretty good value in spendy Singapore.

    I had a great stay at this hostel. Super good location, convenient, very clean and exceptional service. The staff who named Sarah is very friendly, helpful and positive attitude. She treat their every customer equally. I would definitely recommend this hostel to my relatives or friends who come to SG for holiday. The block is just opposite Buddha Tooth Temple at Chinatown. It's easy to find SG local foods around the hostel. It's easy to find a vegetarian food nearby the hostel. Either at the temple, coffee shop or food centre.

    The location is great. At the heart of chinatown. The bed was good. I cam sleep well. But sometimes the bathroom smells so bad.. But i thought it because of the people who don't clean their pee up thoroughly

    I have travelled to many places in my life and been to many hostels ranging from expensive to cheap and i have never seen someone as excited and eager about making their customers comfortable as much as the Chinese lady managing this hostel. I felt like I am staying at a room at a friend's place not a hostel. She is gonna leave no questions unanswered , she cleans and takes cares of the premises all the time and she even voluntarily without me asking told me about the places I must see when I told her I am staying only one night so as I don't miss anything!! The premises cleanliness is good, bathroom is clean and have a water gun so people coming from places that Don't only use toilet paper for cleaning will feel more comfortable to visit the bathroom, the shower have hot water and they supply shampoo and body lotion and also they give you a locker with a lock free of charge. You need to only bring your own towel or you can rent a towel for 3 sgd . The location is superb, you are less than a minute from the brown line taking you to marina bay and garden bay , only 5 minutes from blue line and only 13 minutes walk to green line plus you are in the heart of China Town. You can't ask for more if you want to go around the city using public transportation. 100 % will stay there again when I visit Singapore πŸ˜€

    We had a great stay at this hostel! It’s a great budget option in Singapore. The woman who ran the place was so kind and helpful and constantly cleaning! It’s in a good location (can be hard to find, on the second floor), free drinking water, a nice hot shower, kitchen area, and each bed has an outlet, light, and curtains!!

    Great budget option! Sarah who runs the place is AMAZING! She's so friendly, helpful and keeps the place extremely clean! Beds have a little storage shelf, light and good curtains for privacy and to keep our light. Great place if you just need somewhere safe and comfortable to stay!

  • 4/5 Debaraj S. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Benevici C. 7 months ago on Google
    Owner is very friendly and accommodating. I love the hospitality and personalized service. I will surely booked again the next time I visit Singapore.

  • 5/5 Julio M. 7 months ago on Google
    Chinatown is probably the best place to stay. Definitely my favorite neighborhood. The owner is one of the most wonderful ladies ever.

  • 1/5 Shay W. 10 months ago on Google
    Good location and that’s it.. smelly rooms, hair on the sheets, if someone sleeps above you and they move an inch all the bed shakes. Would not recommend, I rather pay a bit more for good sleep and accommodation

  • 2/5 Daniel 1 year ago on Google
    Staff is amazing but facilities suck. Smells bad and the worst thing is you can’t sleep if the person above you move a bit

  • 1/5 Tan L. 5 years ago on Google
    The place is hard to find and the front deck person, I feel he is very rude to me because i not sure what language to speak with him, because both of us is Chinese. The place around the area is good (like food and restaurants round, and good tourists spot for shop and nice view), that only few room, and inside is a bit compact and only one bathroom, and other only one room for business. When full with guests, we have to wait for each other.

    Average. Reasonable price. Dorm room equip with curtain which is very good for people to have personal space. Bathroom cleanliness average (need improvement)

    CSW is my top recommendation hostel when you are onboard to Singapore regardless for vacation or short-staying, the service quality, the accommodation facilities,the centric location for access to most attractions are always worth the price. The hostel staff are very friendly and always be ready to help and fulfill your request and needs at all times. CSW hostel's top service to all visitors are worthy for your accommodating! β­β­β­β­β­πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

😠 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...
