    Capsule hotel which offers good price and best location. You will get special price when book for a couple days. After check in you will get key for room and box for your luggage. I think the facilities enough for backpacker. The bathroom was clean enough. The linen also clean and comfortable for sleep. There is only one el electrical plug. If you bring more than one device that need to be charge, it will be good if you have electrical extension. They offer bread and tea for breakfast. You'll be charge if borrow the towel.

    This hostel is good! Yes the room is quite small but yeah what do you expect. It is a hostel right? Suite its price. It has a rooftop that provides you a beautiful Singapore scenery and 24 hour cafe that provides hot n drink coffee and tea all the time. The staff also very nice. They let us put our baggage there, although we already have checked out.

    Pretty strict rules and rude receptionist for a hostel that smells like stables and has 5x5 metres room for 16 people. The capsule bed itself was cozy, with own light, locker and plug to charge your phone. Only the showers are smelly and full of little flies.

    Do not ever stay in this hostel in Singapore 👎👎👎 @Central 65 Hostel & Cafe Advertisement vs reality The toilets were moldy. The receptionist were not around after 10.30pm, leaving visitors stranded at the lobby without a clue. No towels, no toiletries provided. They'll sell you $5 for a mini shampoo + shower gel + toothbrush set. The lobby tables were badly maintained. The toaster for breakfast was broken. The bed had blood stain. Informed receptionist, they agreed to change but when I got back it was the same exact sheet before I even left. I even got allergies from dust mites / bed bugs. No hair dryers provided (you have to get it from reception & its only limited units). Toilet & bed got really old smell. You'll wonder if they actually have a housekeeping, as its really bad. Some lockers were broken. It was a nice hostel few years back but now its really rundown. If you're carrying big luggage, you'll cry climbing the stairs.

    The hostel is fine. The bed is comfortable, the capsules are enough for 1 person (Asian is more perfect). However, my room.. wasn't so much of a pleasure. The main lights in the room is broken. I have filed the problem to the concierge on the same day of my check in, he said he'll check it. However until the third day (my check out date), nothing has changed. Next is the bathroom. I find cleanliness is what important for bathroom. But the toilets seem not to be cleaned at the very least weekly. There is quite some mold on the seat that needs a thourough cleaning. Overall I rent the room only for shower and sleep, but I think these kind of factors are still essential for a nice staying experience. Hope this could be taken in care. Cheers!

    Good for one night. I booked this hostel because it was the cheaptest one I could find for one night. Few things to keep in mind towels are $5 more person. There is no elevator so if you have a high bag you may want to request a lower floor. Also, no body wash in the shower area so you may need to bring it with you. Overall rooms felt safe but run down.

    I and my boyfriend were stayed as backpackers for 3nights, which had no problem with accommodation condition since this hotel price was cheap, limited service and close to MRT station, Mustafa Shopping Center and culinary. The young man receptionist was so grumpy. However, the room and breakfast are fine, just cleanliness of bathroom and overall environment are need to improve, as well as provide amenities such as toiletries and towel for free

    The place they show on their website or on any other booking site is totally opposite to it except the terrace. The jacuzzi never worked , it was under Maintainance. the moment you enter central 65 hostel and cafe, you’ll notice this foul smell. It seems that the place has not been cleansed since like ages. right from the level 1 till level 4. The place stinks so bad ! and don’t even ask me anything about the bathrooms. GROSS!! Bathrooms are even worst, It was hard for me to even take a shower, there are like tissues on the floor and sometimes piss on the seat ! I had a good time on the roof top, that’s it !

    Bad need improvement dirty

  • 1/5 Charlie W. 4 years ago on Google
    Save yourself the trouble and don't stay here. Pay a few dollars more to stay somewhere that is actually taken care of. showers & toilets dirty, broken, no soap, staff ok but disinterested. Standard unwelcoming spg rules posted around the hostel. Gives you that lovely welcoming feeling akin to being sent to prison. Id recommend the owners close this place down, spend some of their revenue on a refurbishment and open it as a hostel that is actually welcoming. Dust around. Bed was ok. No window/natural light. Forgot to return passport and left it on my bed area for the day where it could have been stolen. Place does not look like photos. Please repair the shower and have some basic things like soap or toilet paper?

Actually the others are pretty close to the MRT (Original) Sebenernya kurang nyaman aja sama tempat charge hp dan untuk menggantungkan handuk rusak. Sebenernya yg lainnya lumayan deket dgn MRT

    (Translated by Google) Abandoned place. Very poorly maintained, the photos do not reflect the condition of the hotel at all. The toaster does not work for lunch. In short, a place to avoid ... (Original) Endroit à l'abandon. Très mal entretenue, les photos ne reflète pas du tout l'état de l'hôtel. Le grille pain ne fonctionne pas pour le déjeuner. Bref, un endroit a éviter...

  • 4/5 Milka V. 4 years ago on Google
    It is strategic place to get the bus (10m to the bus stop) and MRT (200m to MRT Jl. Besar). Barely restaurant to eat.... The receptionist is actually nice and always try to help & if he didn't understand what you're saying and hard to answer, he would use Google Translate from Mandarin to English?? It is NOT recommended if you are coming with elderly and baby-carrying. Because you need to go up to 3rd-4th floor?? there is only 2 room on 2nd floor, and it consists 6-bed only. And I got moved to 4th floor on my last day due to, booked twice from trvlk. They've got more beds in upper floor tho. The breakfast provided only bread and jam, with milo/tea, you could refill. You should wash the dishes by yourself, which some people didn't do that. Huff!

  • 1/5 Aji S. 4 years ago on Google
    Don’t even think to book this hotel. Staff so rude and is not what you see in the picture. The hostels not Singapore standard. We was book for family room for 6 peoples but when we was arriving there is only for 8 people’s and there is no confirmation about this station from agency or hostel before we arrive in hostel. So we have to booked another hotel in the same day we all know Singapore is so expensive. Our trip to Singapore so messed up due to this situation.

    0 stars if possible. Bad hostel. Bad smell. Bad receptionist. Don't stay. Checked in for 10 minutes and checked out after.

  • 1/5 Saw S. 4 years ago on Google
    Capsule entrance very small, very hard to squeeze in. Blanket with holes. Room and corridor is quite dirty, have to leave your shoe outside and walk on those sticky corridors. Toilet / shower is very very smelly and dirty, only 1 with heater. Booked to stay for 2 days, but early checkout. Never come back again.

  • 3/5 Jacky 4 years ago on Google
    Price is good but the service is worse in the world, no one is at the counter all the time and lots of the wall plugs aren't working, the receptionist even ask me to charge y phone at the counter and take it by morning when I wakes up. But they to supplies bread and coffee for breakfast.

    A little bit run down but basically fine. A bit warm to sit outside and noisy from the main road.

  • 4/5 Harits Indi P. 4 years ago on Google
    For it cheap price, this hostel offers more than I expected. Its a typical capsule hotel with 2x1m square sleeping capsule.1 room consist of 6-8 sleeping capsule. The bathroom is separated from the sleeping area but it has hot water & 4 shower rooms. There's breakfast from 6-10am. Also you can smoke on the rooftop, it's only 500m (I guess) from the nearest jalan besar MRT station.

  • 4/5 k s. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Stayed for 10 nights. This is a Chinese-run hostel. 12SGD per night was cheap and good in Singapore. The day charge is 50SGD. The deposit is 10 SGD. The beds are capsule type but clean but small. There were lockers and power supplies. The shower room is dirty when there are many people. I clean every day during the day so it's beautiful during the day. The location is good. There is a hawker on the next block near the subway station and a Chinese supermarket next to it. Little India is also near. Useless place There is no front staff after 23:30, There were daily discouraged guests who could not check in when they were in the lobby at night. The toaster is broken and the bread does not burn. On the third consecutive night, the card key system was updated and the key was unlocked and locked out. (Original) 10泊しました。 華人経営のホステルです。 1泊12SGDはシンガポールどしては安くて良かった。当日料金は50SGDだけど。デポジットは10SGD。 ベッドはカプセルタイプで清潔ですが狭いです。 ロッカーと電源はありました。 シャワールームはひとが多いときは汚れてます。昼に毎日掃除はしてるので昼間はきれいです。 場所は良いです。 地下鉄の駅から近い、となりのブロックにホーカー、そのとなりに中華スーパーがある。リトルインディアも近いです。 ダメな所 23:30以降はフロントスタッフがいない事、 夜にロビーにいるとチェックインできなくて落胆するゲストが毎日いた。 トースターが壊れていてパンが焼けません。 連泊3日目でカードキーのシステムがアップデートされて、鍵が開かなくなりロックアウトされた。

    Please don't book a room / bed in Central 65 Hostel I have to say that this is the worst experience of booking a room in foreign 1. The room is not tidy and clean as shown on the picture. It's old and in a mess. Please, don't be cheated by the picture 2. They did not clean the bed after someone used it! We have asked the receptionist to change bed for us (1 person bed in 16 people dormitory) twice. but both of the bed she gave us did not got cleaned. And the worst of all, the receptionist didn't bother to go up stair and checked. 3. The attitude of the receptionist sucks. Not friendly at all. Didn't want to check if the room / bed is clean or not. / Not able to get refund even the condition of the hotel is so lousy. We ended up leaving the hotel and find another hotel to stay. Stronly suggested not to book a room or bed in this hotel. Otherwise it will ruin your trip!

    We travel with friends, location of hotel very good next to bus stop it's convenient to go. First we check-in and go to our room, it's smaller than we expected to see in photos (I mean we can't walk passed each other) breakfast: have toast many spread to have with toast, corn-flax with milk, tea and coffee served all day. We not very happy a bit with reception big man his not friendly no hospitality , We doesn't know what wrong. reception and the areas doesn't clean room never make-up, we stay 3 nights, it's good for who have small budget but doesn't same as hostel where we been before, We expected this hostel to much by photos but is very opposite. very upset.
