    Excellent Service”

    My mother was the traveler and i had chosen Fernloft for her stay because of it's affordable price, close to Chinatown and a SUPERB service they did to my mother. I was kinda hesitant at the beginning because of the set up but i was blown away by the staff how they treated my mom like their own family. I would definiteley recommend this for my relatives and friends and to everyone!!!

    Friendly reception & near to China Town”

    Free simple breakfast & coffee

    for those who like to see the singapore china town area without having to take the mrt; this is the place. the hotel ( not really a hotel; but a dormitory located at the upstair of an apartment block; with three rooms, the biggest room has ten beds) is at the midst of the china town area. there is a busy night market with chinese souvenir, t-shirts and sumptuous chinese food which seemed to be very popular amongst the oversea tourists visiting the area. back to the dorm, you can have multi-nationals as your roomates.

    Great value for short stay!”

    Excellent location, very friendly owner, clean place.

    I booked this place for a short trip of my mother and my brother. It was a bit difficult to find since it is on the 2nd floor so just ask someone and they will show you the way. The owner is very friendly and easy going. The location is great for travelling around as it is 2 mins walking to Chinatown and 6-7 mins to Chinatown MRT. You can easily reach Marina Bay in 10 mins by MRT. The hostel is quite clean. However, personally I would like the room to be a bit brighter and they should provide a lock for their locker. But anyway, this place is perfect for short term travel.

    I love this place and it will choose it again if I come back to Singapore. The host is nice and my room is very clean. The neighbourhood is also safe because I was often back around 12 a.m. But the thing is that the room is quite cold at night, so you need to bring warm pajama with you :). Love this hotel.

    the room is clean, the owner is very nice, the bathroom and toilet are clean. need more bathroom and toilet if the dorm is at full capacity. the air con is enough just to make you feel comfortable but need more if you expect a cooler room. overall, fernloft is very good option if you just want to have a good rest.

    You can't really ask for too much more in a hostel. The manager is an amazing woman who makes sure that your stay is pleasant. The only drawback was the fact that there was one shower. If you can get past that, there really isn't much to complain about.

    Good stay but a few issues along the way”

    Cleanliness, Convenient location and Free Wifi

    I arrived at the hostel with my booking for a 4 bed female dorm. Reception did not have a record of my booking and I was told that they don't usually use Agoda for bookings. I wrote down details of the booking such as name, dates etc. Luckily, they still had one bed available in the female dorm so the lady was nice enough to organise the bed for me otherwise the whole hostel was booked out for that night. When I walked into the dorm however there was actually 3 bunk beds so 6 beds in total so i felt this was a little misleading. Apart from the initial fiasco of the hostel not having my booking or the room having 6 beds and not 4, i had a pleasant stay. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean. The bathrooms were quite clean, there was only 2 showers and 1 toilet but the hostel was quite small so this was more than enough. One last thing, as i stayed around the chinese new year period, it was quite noisy as there would be lion/dragon dances at night and lots of drumming. There were also lots of people crowding around the balcony of the hostel to watch the lion/dragon dance at night so it was quite annoying to get past the crowd to go into the hostel.

    The Hostel locates in Chinatown. It's very convenient to go shopping in Chinatown Market. Further then you can find the local foods not only downstair but also in market. In additions, you can go to Clarke Quay or Harbor Front just 2 stations from Chinatown MRT station. It spends few time to travel to well-known landscape of Singapore.
