“ Everything works, market is good, internet is fast, location is ok to this price in Singapore. But make sure to take earplugs with you: you can hear everything from the other rooms and corridor. There are no blankets in the beds so prepare and it's good. ”

“ The hostel was VERY basic to say the least. Not in the best location for the city, however close to the MRT line. No bars or restaurants for travellers around the actual hostel. No TV, sitting area was very basic again with no atmosphere whatsoever. I would suggest finding another hostel more... more ”

“ Not a great place to stay. Our room had cobwebs in it and was well overdue a repaint. Breakfast was toast and butter. There was cereal and other breakfast available however this had to be paid for. Fair enough I guess if there trying to keep prices down but unfortunately everything was locked... more ”

“ The reception girl is the nicest person, she helped us so much. Rooms were ok though.... and the air-cons are very new, there is alot of good Asian food nearby. if u don't mind smallish rooms, i'd recommend, everything else was ok. ”
