    This hostel has to review their front desk staff's attitude. Don't simply throw tantrum to your customers and spoil people's day. It really reflect badly for your hostel, the front desk guy should be engaging, but not complaining about life, talking rudely, and speak loudly and rudely to customers with no reason, this is so not professional especially your hostel is listed on Agoda platform.

    Very nice place with super friendly staff. Clean and comfortable beds. I very much enjoyed the lobby to just hang around, plus there was super fast WiFi there ;) free toast and peanut butter, Nutella in the morning and free coffee and tea all day round. Very good price for Singaporean standards

    Hostel is good. Not too expensive. It is capsule style for for 1 person. This location is not very far to either Farrer Park MRT or Boon Keng MRT (NEL north east line / purple). There are some halal and non halal eateries nearby.

    My family and I enjoyed the stay at Gap Year in 2019. Staffs were friendly, especially the owner. Rooms were good. We booked a family room of four. Hope we can visit Singapore and go gap year again after covid is over. :)

    Economy Price. 480 S$ for two room of 4 beds in 4days 3 nights. There is 2 toilets for whole ground floor, have to wait for your turn, sometime have to clean some dirty from person before you. There is smell in room of 4 even let door opening. Strong and free wifi. Free breakfast with bread and butter. Receptionist close from 10pm to 8am.

    The staff was friendly and we even got a 2-bed room although we booked a dormitory. But there is only one toilet and shower per floor which was often crowded and because of that it was not always really clean. Eventually two stragers came in our room in the middle of night since the door couldn't be locked. The free breakfast was nice.

    The beds were itchy. There are bed bugs. We could not sleep. The air-condition is weak. We could not get good service. The bathrooms looked dirty. The are literally water floods (wet floors) on the way to the bathroom and toilet. The upper bunk bed is too high. The place did not seemed secured. The lockers are too small. The management is not accommodating.

    I stayed their one month overall experience good 👍

    The basics are present, but that's it. Only one toilet and two showers for quite a few rooms, but miraculously enough I didn't have to wait once. The atmosphere is not great, but not really bad either. The neighbourhood is pretty boring and the first metro stop is quite a stroll. But for the price you pay, this is a fair deal

  • 4/5 Hans M. 5 years ago on Google
    It's a good and cheap budget hostel. Breakfast is basic. Warm shower. Would stay there again. Though had some problems that could be solved: No staff there most of the time: Why ? ; Wi-Fi doesn't work in the dorms so you have to move to the not so comfy social area: How about a couch?; 2 toilets are not a lot, especially if there's a seat missing on one.

    I stayed at Gap Year Hostel for about five days and it's been awesome. The beds were really clean, the common room was always airy, the bathrooms were never dirty. They even offered to do my laundry for free! The staff were also equally amazing. I definitely recommend staying here!

  • 5/5 Ta Hsun O. 2 years ago on Google
    Because of travel restrictions started last year, I had difficulties to find a good accommodation. Thanks to my friend's recommendation, I ended up staying in this hostel for few months. Thanks to Brian Yee for his friendly assistance. Recommend this place for everyone.

  • 2/5 Jessica P. 4 years ago on Google
    I no its in Singapore and expect the price but was hefty. And in the dorms the blinds that come down when you turn light on inside everyone can see in. No privacy atall. Also only one plug socket worked out of two. In terms of location is near by the helix bridge and Singapore Gardens which is good. Plenty of showers only two toilets so maybe have to wait for the toilet but it's a high toilet not hole in floor. Bed was comfortable. No towels given. And small luggage space allowed under bed. Was OK. But will not be staying again

    We came to the area just for along weekend and this hotel was perfect. Great location right near the train station and easy on and off for most major roadways. The staff was super friendly and the amenities were great.

😠 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...
