    The staff receptionist was very rude while check in, I came from hectic overnight travel but there was no smile on her face and was treating me like i have to pay her something. Also, she also told me with rude face, check out time is too early 10 am? I was surprised.... Also the price is high

    the location was good nearby the MRT station, Rooms was clean.

    The bathroom could be cleaner, there were frequently hair around the floor and in the sink. The staff were poor communicative and the reception was kinda cold compared to the Southeast Asia countries we were before.

    The beds, pillows and blankets were amazing, as well as the air conditioner in the bedroom.

    Curtains on the bed would be good, as no privacy. Cleanliness is quite poor, especially in the shared singular toilets/showers. Toothpaste marks on sides of walls, dusty floors, dirty sinks.

    Helpful and friendly staff. Located less than 10mins from the trains and 5mins from buses. Good price.

    I hope the staff handle the dispute better by enforcing the rules. Lights off by 10pm means lights off. No talking after that means no talking. 2 nights in a row I bumped into nasty roommates who would turn on the lights at 12-2am and refused to turn it off, then packed their things and rummage for hours. They would talk loudly at 2am to get back at me. Will not go back there till the staffs able to enforce the rules, else no sleep.

    Clean bed. Clean cover.

    No privacy because the beds do not have curtains (unlucky if you get top bunk), cannot control AC temp, they require you to be remove shoes in the common area but the floor is dirty, shower rooms can get flooded because of very few drainages, rooms are at the 3rd floor so those with large luggagea may find it difficult (no elevators)

    2nd time to stay here! Near 2 different train stations and bus stations, thick mattresses, rooms that separate males and females (kinda hard to look for these in SG), large common area with microwave, hot and cold water, sink, fridge, we arrived earlier and they let us go to our room earlier too! There are lots of food stalls downstairs, a supermarket and convenience stores nearby

    The bathroom was a nightmare. Going to shower was the worst of my trip. All the bathrooms were very dirty. At the beginning of the day I preferred to walk 5 blocks to a shopping mall before going to the hostel bathroom.

    The room was clean, the main hall was adequate and the staff was friendly.

    A memorable Trip

    The reception was located on the Second floor. And the rooms were on the third floor. The entrance or stairs of the property were extremely shabby and dirty. The tiles had worn out and needed to be changed. I had complained to the management also about it. There was shortage of crockery in the kitchen, especially there were no plates there. They used to rent the electric adopters for 2S$ where as the same could be purchased for 2$ from outside. It should have been free. Pl see the pics of the adopters for your information. We stayed there for five days and throughout that time wifi was not available in the rooms due to unserviceability.

    The location of the property was good, there were two MRT stations very close to it. Mustafa Market was quite close to it and there were many Halal Food options available nearby. Even MacDonald's and Burger king were Halal. The property had a very cool and friendly atmosphere where multiethnic people could interact with each other. We liked their policy of no shoes in the reception or common area. As it was a hostel so the rooms were small and the female guests complained about lack of privacy in the mixed rooms. I feel this is doable by putting simple curtains on the lower beds. The breakfast was very simple to almost non existent. We used to arrange our own breakfast. The cleanliness of the rooms and bathrooms was excellent. There was no lack of communication and the management used to promptly reply to my whatsapp messages.

    Strategic location (walking distance to MRT & near many eateries). The staff was very helpful during our check in. We were very lucky. The room is ready much earlier than we thought. That made our trip much easier & able to visit more places in Singapore.

    The girls who were in the same room as me were not respectful of community life. One was on the phone until very late at night, sometimes she even put on her music without her headphones. And another one left the door of the corridor open at 1 a.m. when I was already asleep

    The hostel was good. My bed was comfortable and the shower was clean. The location was also good
