First, allow me to state that this is my first stay in a hostel. I expected comforts you might find in a standard hotel. I found Cynthia (one of the owners) to be professional and friendly in our interactions. In the end, i chose to change to a hotel on Orchard road for the rest of my vacation. What i... more

Nice, cozy, homely and kind of odd place. More of a Bed and breakfast than a hostel, but never the less a nice place to stay. Clean and neat and I like the idea that its actually in the house of the owners. Close to the MRT and relativly close to the Changi airport (app. 25 S$) and much cheaper... more

The room had no window was the size of a cupboard we had to stand on the bed,sorry mattress on the floor, to open the folding door. The toilet is so small my husband could hardly fit to sit down. The showers are very small and one of the cats had defacated in it. It is expensive for a cupboard... more

We arrived at this hostel around 10am after 3 days of travel we were smelly and in real need of sleep/shower. We had contacted them to organise an early check in to which they replyed that this would be no problem - just to get breakfast at the airport and make our way out. On arrival we were made to... more

One Florence Close was a great place to stay! Clean, safe, pretty haven to return home to after a long day out. Although not right smack in the town center, it is a 3 mins walk to Kovan MRT station which is on the same line as everywhere that you would want to go. Rooms are cozy, self-sufficient, and air-conditioned,... more

We were on the last leg of our year long round the world trip, when we came across this article on Guardian's website: http://www.guardian.co.uk/travel/2008/jan/29/designer.hostels?page=2 and decided to make a booking. Wow we're so happy we did so! We were very impressed - we have stayed in alot of places over the last year + this is by far the nicest,... more

This place is advertised as a boutique homestay. It was nothing of the sort. Don't believe the photos on the web site! The rooms were tiny, the beds musty and the folding doors allowed for no privacy. You couldn't relax in the common area because it was right next to the bedrooms/bathrooms/kitchen. One staff member spent a whole morning there... more

While going from the nearest MRT station to the hostel I was attacked and had my money stolen. As anyone would I reported it to the police. The hostel decided they didn't like the police calling to make a report because it was worrying other guests. They said I couldn't stay at the hostel and would have to find somewhere... more
