No female room

I didn’t check there is no female room in the internet, so we stayed in the room with some guys first day. But fortunately, staff helped us to change another hostel next day. Really appreciate!!

Very good

We purchased the family private room for 8 people. Really nice room, its very roomy for 8 people, has free bread and coffee every morning. Quick walk to the MRT, close to grocery stores, food restaurant (24hrs) which is very good. The only downside is no lift, You have to climb the stairs to 3rd floor and the bathroom, the issue is its shared and most of the times if someones using the shower the water overflows on the floor. Overall I recommend it to anybody. :)
