    Great location. Good breakfast. Staff was sometimes helpful and friendly and sometimes the opposite. The dorm are quite big and noisy. A curtain separated two dorms. The sinks for the bathroom are directly in the common area and there is no privacy. Someone outside the hostel in the staircase can watch you freely brush your teeth through the glass entrance door... On top of all that, my Singapore money got stolen from the locker. I went to the police station to report it. I don’t recommend staying there.

    Terrible.”

    Believe the other critical reviews on here & save your money. There's certificates up on the wall about them being a hostel of choice in 2011. Well, things have gone down-hill like Eddie The Eagle since then. It's a cramped, old joint and people talking in the small social area right outside your bedroom will wake you up in the morning. The receptionist is about as welcoming as a dog with rabies.
