Good location, centrally located near MRT. Clean and good security features. However, the common toilets should have been cleaned more frequently by the staff.

Hostel with a great location
Close to the MRT, safe place for personal belongings, close to downtown

My stay was quite good. The airport shuttle is $9 and takes 30 minutes. Wink is in Chinatown and walking to Marina Bay takes abt 30 min at a brisk pace. The street is quiet and there are plenty of chinese restaurants around, but not much else. Check-in was fast and the staffperson gave me a tour. I really like how the pod lights up when you enter the room! The bed was comfortable, sheets and room were clean. The storage area is plenty big to hold a fairly large suitcase and carry-on ++. If it's not big enough, you can leave it in the room around a little corner, though you would be trusting your roommates. There is an electrical outlet (bring a converter if from another country) to charge your devices, etc. beside each bed. For breakfast, there is white bread, peanut butter and jam, and juices, coffee and tea. If you want fresh fruit I think you need to get up early before it's gone. There's a laundry room, TV room, and 2 laptops with internet to use for free. The wi-fi was quite good and I used my own device for the most part.
Ways to improve: would be great if the pods had curtains or sheers and a small fan inside (because if you close the curtain you will block the A/C). One of the desk staff was VERY friendly, but the other two not so much. It would be nice if they would smile and say hi :-). It was a bit of a disappointment that there was not an electrical outlet in the room (aside from beside each person's pillow), nor in the toilet room, to use my own hairdryer. It also costs $2 to 'rent' a towel; I would think that 1 free towel per person would be reasonable, and pay to use more if you need it. Also it was difficult to lug my luggage up and down the stairs; I realize that hostel-staying has its inconveniences but it would be nice to have had help with that.
All around I would give Wink a 4 /5 and would stay there again and recommend it to anyone looking for a hostel stay in Singapore.

This is the second time I chose wink hostel. It's more expenses than other hostels in SG but I think it deserved.
The location is very good, near the China Town station. The pod is clean, comfortable and nice. There is enough hot water and no need to wait for shower.
There are post office and supermarket nearby. Lots of food stalls nearby. The food centers like Maxwell, Hong Lim and Chinatown complex can be found. There are restaurants under the wink hostel. It is safe when you go back at night although it is a little noisy.
It's little difficult to climb up to the upper pod. Better choose lower pod
