    Not worth my stay.

    1. The air-cond only functions at 6 pm. It's so hot I cannot even stay in the room. 2. The bedsheet, pillowcase and comforter I must make myself. 3. The toilets are filthy, with clothes hanging here and there, oh god it's so disgusting. 4. There's no bin in the room. 5. The room is too small and packed for 3 double-deckers. 6. The kitchen/pantry is so dirty. 7. The only good about this place is the friendly staff. 8. Locker is not reliable. 9. It's so bad I didn't even have the brain to take any pictures I won't recommend. I was just disappointed.

    Location-wise, I like it. It's located in the centre and near to the MRT. There's 7E near by so I would not get hungry every time I need snacks.

    The rooms was to small and smelled bad. They doesn’t provide towels and unpleasant surrounding.

    I was really surprised about beary best hotel’s situation.I understood a lot of things changed since COVID.But as an old customer,I stayed at the same hostel every 6 months since they open.I have to say they’re totally fall down to the basement. mildew everywhere. bedroom wall,toilet wall, and the cozy living space changed to a storage place. not the same cozy hostel anymore. I felt so pity about it.

    Unfortunately, the facility was not clean, esp the bathroom. The door was moldy and the area of the bathroom floor that had the toilet brush had a lot of stains on the ground and the toilet brush/ toilet brush holder and that general area near the toilet looked very dirty. One of the hosts would turn off the air con in the dorm room at 1130 am, even if ppl in the dorm were still napping or hanging out in the room, so the room would get really hot and you wouldn't feel comfortable to hang out or nap in the dorm during the day. There is no lounge area for guests to meet one another; there is only a kitchen area and that area only has 3 seats

    Price was low. One of the hosts was nice and friendly. The location is very good.

    Beary Worst Hostel!

    Significant wear and tear of everything. Very complicated system of check-in and getting the door lock codes. No wardrobe, racks or shelves for clothes. Only some water heaters in bathrooms were working (yes, I did turn on the switch on the wall). Wi-Fi slow during morning rush hour. Unwashable stains on the sheets. Bad smell generally. I have travelled America, Asia and Europe and I am afraid this was THE VERY WORST HOSTEL I have ever stayed in.

    The AC was working. Regular cleaning of bathrooms.

    Day 1 upon our check in the room is all mess but they said the linen is already change, the floor is messy and underneath of our bed still trash in there when we arrived the bathroom near on our room is just 1 only and so messy and disgusting 🤮 we requested to clean but they didn’t. free coffee but they don’t have mug and spoon to use.

    The hostel have decided to rent out to some workers in order to survive the pandemic. nothing bad with that, the problem is that the workers were using those rooms are their private space, they were having their staff all around, mess everywhere, they have cigarettes' and alcohol throwed around, and I some chemicals they work with. the smell of those chemicals were that strong that I couldn't sleep the whole night. I booked it for 2 nights but I have to run away after spending some hours there.

    Location was ok, close to china town, restaurants and bars

    Not social hostel at all. Toilets always dirty and water everywhere. Beds uncomfortable. No one explained anything about the hostel - facilities, kitchen, washing machine.

    Close to MRT and china town.

    Sorry to say but Cleanliness isn't existent. Very dirty just like never been cleaned in years. Kitchen area smells just like a pet shops. Seems like the owner doesn't care with their property

    Nice location, near with Chinatown MRT station. Staff was very nice!
