Best location ever”

This is a very affordably-priced hostel located at the BEST place ever! It's at the Telok Ayer Square right NEXT to the epic Buddha Tooth Relic Temple. It's 5-7 mins walking from Chinatown MRT and 1 min away from Maxwell MRT. The BTRT has a veg-only restaurant. There are way too many eating options at the Chinatown Shopping Centre and the Maxwell Food Centre. I'm so glad I chose to stay at this hostel.

I had a great stay. Sarah, the host, was very helpful and proactive. She did everything to make sure I got the most out of my visit. Such as: directing me to the amazing vegetarian restaurant just around the corner! Would have loved to stay little longer, also to enjoy Chinatown some more. Vibrant and joyful place and people.
