Friendly staff and comfortable hostel, good for backpackers or solo travellers. The only cons is the numbers of bathrooms for the number of guests. You will have to planned or wait before going to shower/toilets. The hostel has a good social area to meet and discuss with the other guests. It also has a good location not too far from MRT station and Little India district for shopping.

On a Busy road

My honest opinion, location was ok, 10min walk from the metro. Customer service was good.The dorm of 12 was a huge room. The bed was hard,one ladder for everyone to climb to top bunker,Air condition and small lockers in the room. Breakfast included with a big dinning table. WiFi was fast. Only 2 toilets and 2 showers for entire place and clean once a day. 2 spare PC to use with keylogger software installed.

Good hostel with basic amenities. Friendly staff.

Friendly and helpful staff. The hostel is very close to the Boon Keng MRT, which made it easy to get around. WiFi was a bit spotty on occasion, but good otherwise. But it still was significantly better than the WiFi I used at a more expensive hotel in Singapore later, so, guess it was as good as it gets? Shower was a bit finicky, and I didn't much like having to take cold showers. But can't really complain considering the price. Overall a good hostel, with basic amenities and free WiFi.

sehr gute Lage,abseits des Entertainment-Tourismus

sehr gut erreichbar über MRT Farrer Park. Sauberes und sehr gut geführtes Hostel. Sehr engagiertes und sympathisches Personal. Einziger Knackpunkt: die Hauptstraße war im 10-Bed-Dorm sehr laut hörbar ... Ansonsten super Frühstück mit Toast, Coffee, Tea, Jam + Nutella included.

เดินประมาน 5 นาที จากสถานี Boon Keng ด้านล่างมีร้านข้าวราดแกงขาย ราคาเริ่มต้น 2เหรียญกว่าๆ ถือว่าถูกเลย พนักงานเป็นกันเองมาก มีคีย์การ์ดก่อนเข้าที่พัก กรองคนจากภายนอกได้ส่วนหนึ่ง ห้องน้ำมี2ห้อง ก็พออาบได้ อาจต้องรอคิวหน่อย ทีพักนอนสบาย ไม่ร้อน ประทับใจมาก

Reasonable Price

Location is easy to be found. Staff are nice. Booked the mixed dorm (double-decker bed, upper one) and there was only one movable ladder for 6 beds... should provide more movable ladder...

가성비 짱!

싱가포르에서 저정도 가격선에선 가성비가 좋은 곳이라 생각되구요. 아쉬운점은 화장실 시설이 조금 열악하다고 느낄수있어요. 그 외는 청소도 깔끔히해서 깨끗하구요. 위치는 밤이 되면 조용하구요, 근처역까지 10분걸려서 좋아요. 그리고 로비에 있는 커피나 잉글랜드티는 꽁짜라 좋네요. 되도록이면 물은 호스텔에서 큰 거 사시는게 편해요(편의점이 더 비싸요.) 주변에 호커센터가 있어서 밥값도 2.5~3.5$ 선에서 해결 할 수 있어요. 가난한 배낭여행객에게 치명적인 물가인 나라 싱가포르에서 머물기에는 안 좋을 수가 없네요.

近地鐵但較舊

近文慶地鐵站,附近有不少巴士綫行經,交通算方便。 不過住宿環境比較舊,尤其是洗手間,洗澡水力嚴重不足,有待改善!
