the best location!”

I stayed a bit more than two weeks there. They have the best location, the Chinatown MRT station only a couple of steps away. The cleanliness level was nice and they have comfy beds. The staff was so friendly and very helpful which was amazing! The negative things are; Pagoda Street was so lively and noisy, therefore it was hard to sleep. The hostel's building is one of the traditional buildings, therefore the rooms are quite narrow. Unfortunately, the common room is in the other building of the hostel, therefore was hard to meet up with the other guest such as solo travelers which is a very common thing in hostel life.

The Best Location so far just below the hotels are store that sells a lot of memorabilia. The staff are nice and helpful. Even after we have checked out they still allow our baggage's to be stored and we were still allow to wait for our time till we have to leave . They have free breakfast. And you can still drink coffee and tea even you have checked out and while waiting for your time of departure.

Just nice if you have a tight budget”

Bear in mind that it's a hostel so it does look like a dorm but still, kind of disappointed when we had to share the same hallway and toilet with a man who lives in the next room. I actually booked a private room but it didn't feel private at all since there's no door in between other rooms. it's more like a compartment with no privacy at all. you could've put at least a curtain because some of us are Muslims and we need to cover our aurah. I was informed that the rooms should be for the ladies but they were out of rooms that day.

Good one but not one of those most amazing traveller hostels ”

Location is spot on. Chinatown MRT is well connected to all most locations and this hostel which is on Pagoda street is right outside of mrt. Although the staff were not support friendly but you could get the job done. Most of them staying in hostel are people who are working in Singapore and not travellers. So if you are cool with such crossed then it's a decent hostel that you can stay on for a few days.

Me & my mom took the private room w/ bunkbed. The room was ok for the both of us, doors were secured with digital locks & well airconditioned. The common areas are well maintained including the shared bathroom. The only issue we had at that time was the our luggages since we were not aware that our room was at the 3rd floor & there is no elevator, so I had to carry our luggages all the way up. Same during the check-out since no staff will be able to assist you on times like that. The best thing about this place was the location since it is in Chinatown. There’s a lot of food choices, souvenirs and almost everything in the area. And also, the main door is just on the side of Chinatown MRT downtown line.

The room is not seperate but linked with 2 other rooms without a door in between, but an outer door of the 3 rooms. Toilet/shower is very basic. Location is perfect. you get out of the underground and step into the hotel. Some interesting temples and many food options nearby. Good option for a short time stay.
