Definitely recommended”

We honestly didn't expect much of the place since the price is really low as compared to other hostels. But this place is really worth it. The rooms and for sharing so expect that there would be other people in the room but there are lockers that you could use to secure your belongings. You'd also have your own electric outlets where you couldcharge your gadgets. Restrooms and showers are also clean which is a big thing for me. The location is also near to restaurants, MRT stations, and bus stations. The people are also nice and very accommodating. It's definitely worth it!

The Best Hostel for Traveller”

Staffs are really kind and good at service. I checked in at night (around 10-11 PM) and they still waited for us (I also already tell them I will be late, try contact them by email, they are fast-responser). The place is really clean and neat. They also have facilities that makes me wanna stay long in there, noted they also have hairdryer and hairstraightner. Not that far from the MRT Station (Lavender MRT Station). Near from some Food Courts and Market Store like Fair Price and Seven Eleven. Overall, I really like this place and maybe next I have a trip to Singapore again, I will stay in here again too.

Friendly and helpful, clean and organised”

The uncles working there are always smiling and ready to help. Umbrella was offered unexpectedly when I was going out for dinner while it was drizzling. The capsule bed is located at level 3, you can adjust the air-conditioning in the capsule, the room is clean and quiet. The washroom is small and very clean and well maintained despite the high usage. Really appreciate the extra efforts the workers put in to maintain it. Many attractions are just a few bus rides away from the hostels.

Great place with friendly staff. Fortunate enough to have a spacious bed provided. A good though limited choice of breakfast items were provided like coffee, tea, cereal and bread which is adequate for me. Toilets on the ground floor is very clean to my liking and not to miss the strong wifi rounds up a great stay here.

Best for group travellers who are on a budget”

When we arrived at the hotel at 1am we were disappointed at first because the lobby was dark and there were people sleeping on the couch. In the kitchen in front of our room there were half naked men walking around which seems to have just taken a bath and our room doesn't smell fresh. But after the first night our experience, I would say, improved. The kitchen, bath and toilet at clean. Someone keeps on cleaning them. They provided us with air fresheners and even offered to replace our bed sheets. You can use their kitchen utensils just wash them before and after use. I suggest for them to say that there are no free breakfast in the agoda page because when you check the pictures it seems that they are offering free breakfast because photod were not updated. Lavender MRT is pretty close. The family room that we got can accomodate 6 people comfortably on the double deck. Not enough space to roam around on the room though but considering that we are just there to sleep I'd say I wouldn't mind. So yeah, if you are a budget traveller so is a cowboy, then this is a great place to stay. You get to enjoy all the basic stuffs with just an affordable price. (They even iron their towels!). All their staffs are really friendly too. Theu always greet us when we return at the hotel. Easy check in and check out too! I would recommend this hotel if you are looking for an affordable place to stay. 👌👍🙂

Clean hostel, good location, friendly staff”

I like this hostel. It is well located nearby the heart of Singapore, only few MRT stations to Bugis, Orchard, China town. Pros: - Good location. Relatively close to Lavender station (10 mins walking) and Bandemeer station ( just 5 mins walking to the opposite side) - Many kinds of food and restaurant around - Fairprice supermarket - Good breakfast (Coffee, tea, bread, jam, butter, magarine...). What could you expect more from such a low price hostel. - Very clean toilets and bathrooms. Shampoo and bath milk provided is definitely a surprising plus. Cons: - Nothing to complain if they do not turn off the air con during daytime (from 9am to 6pm). Seriously, it’s so much like pushing everyone out for the whole day long. Without aircon, the whole room becomes very smelly and certainly too hot to stay.
