    - cleanliness of the bathroom was not very good, but still alright - 4 bed dormitory was a bit too small expecting to have 4 persons with luggage

    - Close to MRT - lockers for personal belongings - power blug besides the bed - comfy beds - toilet and shower could be refurbished, but it was alright

    I wasn't able to extend my stay for a night, they wont allow me even if I saw online that there's an available slot for the hostel, the available slot costs higher maybe because of the influx of tourists that's why they opt not to extend me and wait for other tourist to check in instead to earn more money I guess instead of me just paying for extra.

    Almost everything

    It is a 2 storey hostel with stairs acces only. Travellers with heavy luggage struggle.

    Close to several mutiple food outlets. MRT a 10 minute stroll.

    Only one toilet (that needed drying/cleaning at every visit) and two showers on the first floor (where you have 2 large dorm rooms - so this is not really a lot) No privacy curtains at the beds

    About 6-10mins away from two different MRT stations Right below are some hawker stalls with good and cheap food Small kitchen with microwave and water filter

    Bathrooms could be a bit cleaner.

    Hostel is nothing special but a good place to stay on a budget in SG. Beds are comfy with an AC in the room.

    Initially hard to find. It's not the best-signposted place, and we definitely walked past it twice as grumpy, tired travellers at 11pm. Kitchen facilities, while great, consisted only of a hot/cold water station, a sink, and a microwave. Which for most travellers might be enough. Eating out in Singapore can be cheap (SG$4 - SG$10) if you go to the right food courts. Also, because there weren't many kitchen amenities, it meant that fridge space was plentiful (which was lovely). There was only one washer and dryer in the laundry area, which is also used by the staff for sheets. But if you get in, you get in and it's great.

    Fantastic location, situated within 10min walking distance of three different train lines. Also, a couple bus stations and several 7Elevens in close proximity. Kitchen was always kept clean and ordered, and bathrooms were regularly cleaned. In the laundry area, there is a cute little laundry liquid disposal where you can purchase two packets of laundry liquid at a time for SG$1 Each bed was assigned their own locker, which has two coat hangers in it. The key comes with the room key. Great staff always very willing to help out with positive attitudes. No judgement was passed the times I was an idiot and needed one of them to open the room for me. While check out is at 12pm, the staff let us leave our bags in the common area, and chill until we were able to check in to our next place.

    I didn't know that there is no lift. We will have to carry luggages to the room by stair. The ceiling fan is dangerously too close to the top bunk.

    Wifi signal is rather good and they allow the air con all days [it doesn't automatically switched off when you leave the room] I think that's fair, because the room has neither window nor any means of ventilation.

    Ludicrous price for a dorm bed, but that's more to do with Singapore than the hostel.

    Clean (once you get off the rather dirty looking entry stairwell), well organised hostel in a great location. Lots of great food options on the doorstep.

    There was only one toilet on my whole floor so if it was occupied you had to go to the upper floor

    The beds were okay, and the temperature in the room was really nice. The staff was helpful and the location is also good because you have public transportation nearby.

    - No curtains on the beds so not much privacy - The type of ladder on the bed is slippery and makes it quite hard to climb up the top bunk. - The shower floors are not separated and they don't have their own drains. Even if you're the only 1 bathing, the whole bathroom can still get floody and wet - Needed to climb 2 flights of stairs to the reception, plus another one to get to the rooms.

    - 4 beds in 1 room (all female), quite spacious inside - Bright and comfy common area with refrigerator, hot/cold drinking water, microwave - Lots of bathrooms - Has coin laundry and dryer - each bed has a keyed locker - My friend got a problem with her locker and some forgotten items but they were so kind to let us know about it. - There are restaurants just below the hostel.

    One of the cheapest hostel in Singapore. Overall was OK.

    Toiletries and hair dryer are not provided. Dirty stairs. It's just beside the temple, so it could be noisy if you are a light sleeper.

    Pretty close to multi mrt and bus stops, which are accessible anywhere around the city. Staffs are nice, inside the dorm was pretty clean. Hotels are quite expensive in Singapore, it would be better if they improve a bit more the facilities.

    It is next to a Buddhist temple and because of that it was noisy with bells and gong-sounds from 4-5 am. If you’re a light sleeper you might have a hard time sleeping. Also there were no events at the hostel so if you’re looking for that this is not the place.

    It is close to multiple metro stations and great food places. There is a great common room as well and the staff are very helpful. The bathrooms were in good condition.

    - shower water would run into toilet - occasionally no hot water in showers - there was a small family with a toddler staying in room, would’ve been nice if kids weren’t allowed

    - extra bathrooms upstairs was handy - aircons in rooms were always on - lockers and security were convenient
