                Stayed 1 night in February 2020

                Best value for backpackers and short term travellers”

                The place is just as laidback as it is for backpackers and travellers staying in singapore for a shirt term holiday or visit. Breakfast is basic but its the very least that the money spent is worth for.. the staff is friendly, and always attentive to customers request and they also did their best to make sure that the customers are staying in a safe place and a place catered just nice for backpackers. The only thing that might affect the customers might be because that the reception is closed till 7pm but still they will go to great lengths to make sure customers get to check in even if its a late check in or check out... Bottomline is... One of the best hostel value for money and accesible to the places of interestbin singapore. Thank you....i enjoyed my stay there..im sure others will as well...cheers

                It is a nice backpacker hostel with friendly & kind owner. The hostel located exactly in front of Jalan Besar MRT Station, there are restaurant nearby. very clean! But no privacy since they only separate the room just by curtain eventhough i booked for quadroom. Overall it is good for short stay

                Does what it says on the tin. A hostel, no more no less. Good for what it is, but about as barebones as you get. Staff are quite helpful. Location is PERFECT if you plan to walk or bus around. For amenities, towels are S$3, a load of laundry is S$12, a scan of a document is S$0.30. Metal-frame 3-bunk racks, curtain room dividers, fixed A/C temp and on-off for lights. Breakfast is literally toast, spread, a water kettle, and some teabags, coffee, and a French press. Bathrooms are stocked with TP until late at night, when at times they run out, I got lucky, I carry my own roll. Sheets were clean. In contrast to some posts that noted bedbugs, during my stay the building was gassed for bugs, I assume as part of routine pest control. I didn't see any. For crowds, note that this hostel has long-stay rates posted, starting at S$380/month, in downtown Singapore. That, rather than backpackers, is more of who stays here, but it's a mix of both. Quiet.
