This hostel is not good value for money. The rooms are very small, the staff is not nice and, last but not least, the bathrooms are not clean at all. You don’t even dare going to the shower or to the toilets.

The room was composed of 2 bunk beds, the one with three levels where a person can not even kneel or else he will hit the ceiling with his head. There is...

After reading others experiences here, I guess I had a better experience. The most important thing for me is a cheap place with a comfy bed and I got exactly that here. Far from perfect, but comfy enough, nice people and very convenient for the price (Singapore is generally an expensive city!!!). If you want luxury, stay in a hotel....

We picked this as it was one of the cheapest we found. Rooms were basic but adequate as we did not plan to spend too much time in our room. The station was a quick 3 minute walk away and 10 minutes ride into town.

The price was reasonable but the location was great. Travel into town was under 20 minutes and food was readily available in the vicinity. Staff were generally...

Although the room is small but since everything required was provided I am pretty okay with everything as I am only at the hostel to sleep. Very affordable. hence, bearable n not too bad. :) great location in sense...

Staff is very unfriendly in any matters. The rooms are windowless cells. If you book a Twin you'll get an unbelieveable small 4 bed room. Bugs are coming out of the powerconnectors. Toilets and Showers are rundown. We are very used to hostels, but this one is just [--] up. Don't go there, even if you think it's cheap!
