Located in a great location with lots of restaurants and eateries. Check in was pretty easy and located in a wonderful street. Value for money for a short stay.

The socket of the lamp was broken so I had to use my flash light. No towel was provided.. The staff was just there but it was like there was no staff at all. You even have to download an app to get the info for check in

Location was perfect. Located on the main road and directly across the train station. Room was on ground level so no need to climb

Limited space with room sharing, yet reasonable price.

Convenient location nearby mrt chinatown exit F or exit A within walking distance

However, there was a very unpleasant situation on the day of my checkout (around 4 a.m). A man was walking around Level 3, seemingly trying different passwords on doors. Later, I discovered that two men had entered the female dormitory without permission – one was even sleeping in my bed. This made me feel quite unsafe, especially since the dorm is intended exclusively for women. There is no on-site staff at night, and while the hostel has cameras, I wasn't able to reach anyone immediately. I contacted them via WhatsApp, and they assured me they would address the issue, though I can't be certain of the outcome. I hope the hostel will take stronger measures in the future to ensure that such incidents do not happen again. I wish I could give the hostel a full rating, as my stay was otherwise very pleasant. However, due to this experience, I feel it's important to inform other female travelers to stay alert. Note: I had previously left a positive review for this hostel based on my stay in a mixed dorm. However, due to this recent experience, I reached out to Booking.com to update my review. I felt it was important to share this for the awareness of future female travelers.

My stay at Beary Best Hostel in Chinatown, Singapore, was overall positive. I stayed for a total of four days—two days in a mixed dorm and then I switched to a female dorm. I would especially like to highlight Siti, who was always friendly, warm, and helpful – her positive attitude really made my stay enjoyable. The beds were comfortable, and the central location of the hostel was ideal for exploring the city.

No breakfast provided only tea packs Place not clean On lower floor there were guests sleeping in the sofas in the morning. One guest from Indonesia came too early at 9.00 am. As no one around, she started asking and demanding for answer so I gave her the telephone number at the lounge. She was talking so loudly and even shouted at me and called me out loudly names when I did not attend to her As I was busy on my mobile, I shouted back at her. A really bad experience for trying to help such a, lady

Not so cold. Not so crowded or packed.

The room I was staying in (8 bed female dormitory) was pretty noisy all throughout the night, so I didn’t sleep well as a result

Great location

I liked that the staff were very quick with the listening to any comments/complaints about the facilities which was very helpful in making my stay comfortable.

The check-in via Whatsapp is really not convenient. The battery of my phone was dead I could not check-in and get the access code to open the door The AC was too strong, I felt cold during the night

Well located, the dorms are comfortable enough

It's not very comfortable, but ok for a few nights if you are on a budget. Lots of beds in a small space so that you don't really have the space to pack your backpack. Not all beds have curtains, my locker was broken and full with stuff of someone else. It's not just backpackers but also some longterm residents (which is also ok but a different vibe).

Amazing location, right next to Chinatown subway stop. Small kitchen with water dispenser. You enter the door by code or unnlock it by an app on your phone. There is a hostel whatsapp group.

Bathrooms were dirty with hairs and stuff everywhere. I think it could be maintained better.

It’s good location and helpful staff.

The vibe, people were quite loud at night not respecting hostel rules, smell in the bathroom, felt a bit depressing as people often cried at night, not sure if I would come back in the future

Good location in Chinatown, easy check-in and check-out options, good value-for money for Singapore

The bunks in the dorms have a low ceiling so take care of your head as you sit up or bend over into and out of the bed (kind of like a capsule but shorter). The safety deposit box below the bunk slides out nicely but makes a lot of sound when opening and closing the lid. Be very gentle and control your strength as you lift otherwise your bunkmates won't thank you for it. The fans are set to low because some fans are very noisy when set higher, plus if you're on the upper bunk chances are you'll be blasted with the high rotation winds from the fans which blow in the centralised aircon in the middle of the dorm. Because the fans are set to low, this does not circulate the cold air efficiently enough. Bring a portable fan (preferably a rechargeable one). Luggage has to be kept at level 1 in the luggage room, and it's a small one so make sure you have what you need in your dorm. Bring hooks to hang stuff. The reason being that there's not enough space to keep your luggage in the dorms as it may block the passage to the door. (Only special circumstances warrant the need to keep the luggage in the dorm, with consent) And because the luggage is kept in the luggage room on level 1, you have to remember to take whatever you need (this is a reminder) up to your dorm because you might be staying on the 2nd or 3rd floor and you can only commute by stairs. If you forget something, be prepared for a workout. Some shower stalls don't have hooks on the wall or door frame. What I did was to get a door hanger with hooks with a large enough clamp from Turtle (B1-17/18/19/20 Chinatown Point, sells at $13) to hang over the door frame so that I could hang stuff and shower. So where are the hooks then? Only in the toilet stalls, on the walls. *shrugs* A minor inconvenience (and apparently I'm the first guest to report it to the staff). Oh and in case you missed it, I did mention that you can only get the door codes ONCE on the Goki app.

The rates are low but the stay quality is great. Take note that if you want to keep using the Goki app to open doors inside you'll have to get your initial booking for a longer duration because subsequent extensions will not include this feature, though a new door code will be given to you. Staff are reasonable, fair, and sometimes persuasive to help you plan your trip here within a tight budget and may even help with bunk arrangements (if approved). Laundry washing and drying is affordable too (just use new dollar coins). Heater in showers is great but if the weather is too hot, a cold shower will help. No shampoo and soap provided so bring your own. No towel either but you can borrow at a charge. The place is within vicinity of the Chinatown Point shopping mall, touristy spots, cafés, Chinese restaurants of all types, the Chinatown MRT station (both North East and Downtown lines). No jaywalking please as the roads are very busy here throughout the day. Just outside the entrance is a bus stop, though most of the services head Westwards on New Bridge Road. Super value for money! And if you're hungry after hours, order GrabFood and sit outside on the stool to wait for it to arrive. Then eat to your heart's content at the lounge below (no eating upstairs).

The hostel is in a perfect location. Staff are super helpful and friendly. Perfect if you want something budget for Singapore- but of course know that means small rooms and limited facilities. Great place to stay to explore the city.

Not a particularly social hostel to meet other travellers, but very comfortable, and there are social areas I'm sure you can linger in and meet people.

We only ever met the lady at reception but she was lovely and very helpful. Location is very ideal directly opposite the metro station. The bathroom facilities were very clean. Perfect that they have curtains as this is a must for us when booking a hostel.
