    Great location. Really close to bay area, restaurants and shopping mall. Concept design and architecture - is really modern and something different than the "usual" ... But you must be ok with some "youth hostel design elements", just higher class.

    Affordable hostel in a great location. Very independent experience: everything is messaged to you or written down, just read and proceed. Well equipped with amenities for a comfortable stay if you're more of a backpacker type. Had a few issues on my end with schedule and mode of payment but Dee (staff) was very helpful about all of it.

    + It's dirt cheap, about half of the usual backpacker hostel in Singapore. + Decent location, in the middle of Arab Street. + The locker assigned to each person is pretty large, looks like it's big enough to fit in two 26-inch luggage plus a medium-sized backpack.

    Great location and easy to find near the metro. Pretty close to all main attraction via metro. Good space and locker under the bed, not an overly social hostel which was disappointing but met some people on the walking tours advertised in the kitchen area. Friendly reception staff and clean bathrooms. Free breakfast of on a tight budget

    A very nice low budget hotel, the staff was very friendly, rooms were clean and not too small, the view through the large window was great, the location is alright: with busses it takes less than 30min to get downtown, around the hotel are many cheap restaurants and some supermarketsand I felt safe in the hotel

    Great location for exploring central Singapore. Pretty comfy for a pod hostel, the shelve in the unit is at a pretty awkward height but that doesn't matter much. Definitely not the cheapest area, but good for a night out. More happy hours on this street than the rest of Singapore put together I think.

    It is well cleaned. It is very cheap. It is a great location. The beds and pillows are adequately comfortable. On a budget and want a convenient, central location - there is no problem with this hostel. Wifi works fine too. Useful little large balcony and kitchen stuffs on the top floor (microwave, sink, hot water, tea and coffee things, bowls, plates etc).

    Best hostel I’ve ever stayed in - lets be honest who really wants to sleep with 10 strangers in a room and shared bathroom? i know I don’t but we were on a budget…. BUT this hostel is the best I’ve ever stayed in. I wouldn’t even say it feels much like a hostel, you have your own area with a desk and wardrobe and safe with a curtain plus a double bed and curtain - very private. Bathroom was kept really clean, nice breakfast and lovely staff. This has made me like hostels!! Location is also fantastic.

    Best hostel in Singapore. I’ve stayed in a few around Singapore and I stayed here on my last night- Wish I stayed at the start. Comfortable rooms for the price, free breakfast/tea/coffee, great location and most of all the guys who worked there are amazing. Some of the most helpful people I’ve come across, great vibe. It feels like youre staying at your uncles house or something. Good communal area that allows you to socialise, pool table, travel booked, instruments… the list goes on. Really clean and I felt safe and comfortable.
