Hospitality and warmth of staff

Solid hostel, nothing to complain about

Stayed in April 2025

Expect noise from bunkmates (packing, door opening, snoring, etc). Make sure to prepare noise-canceling earbuds/plugs to enjoy your stay. (If you are very particular with privacy and almost total silence, a hostel experience might not be for you)

Wonderful location. Close to hawker centres, MRT, Chinatown historical sites. Quiet area (no outside noise). It has everything you need for a budget-friendly and comfortable few nights' stay in Singapore.

It took me about 20 minutes to find the entrance to the actual hostel in a very confusing building, so a few more signs would be helpful.

Centrally located in Chinatown, the CSW hostel provided exactly what I needed for my overnight transfer in Singapore. It provides the bare minimum in a very compact space. I stayed in a shared mixed bedroom and barely noticed any of the other guests. Beds are comfortable and equipped with a reading light, a socket and a curtain. It's right next to a hawker center, which is superb for a local breakfast. Only a relatively short walk away from Marina Bay and Boat Quay, I got the most out of the few hours I had.

Bathroom is a bit smelly and space is pretty small

Good location and close to both Maxwell station and the Maxwell food centre. Easy to access and staff is helpful

The walls are very very thin so you can hear literally anything from the neighbours, I would recommend bringing good earplugs.

Everything was extremely clean, and beds were comfortable and the host is super super nice and makes sure you are comfortable :) You have everything needed and the location is very good.

Perfect location ! 🙌 One of the cheapest hostel in Singapore. Everything was very clean during my stay. Bad point there is just one shower and one toilet for two rooms (for approximately 16pers I think). No common area. So if you just want to find a clean and cheap place to sleep with good location that's perfect 👍

One toilet and one shower for 14 beds. Fortunately hostel wasn't full during my stay. Only area to hang out is on balcony which would be OK if people were not allowed to smoke there.

Typical Chinatown hostel with small dorm rooms. Beds had privacy curtains, reading light. Barely 2 minutes walk from Maxwell MRT but can be hard to find. Take exit #3. Facing large parking lot ( for tour buses) and Buddha Tooth temple, turn left on sidewalk, walk 50 meters towards 21 storey white apartment (not #333). Sidewalks takes you to stairs, go up one flight, turn right and walk halfway along balcony to hostel. Don't be confused by banner for CWS hostel hanging off balcony on front side of apartment building. Hostel is on back side, which makes it quiet as it isn't on main street with traffic. Good location for Chinatown, metro and walking to other neighborhoods of Singapore. Small fridge usable as few people put food in it. Lady running hostel is very nice.

Everything. Perfect location, clean, and comfortable. And most of all easy on the wallet.

The little place to eat should have a little sink to wash dishes and hands instead of bringing them to the toilet sink.

The location: right at the heart of Chinatown. Close to shops and places to eat/ buy food. It was Chinese New Year and the lady caretaker served us free breakfast and good coffee. We loved it.

Pretty basic. Lots of noise from China Town. Pretty much hear all in the room.

Location. China Town. Bed was good. Cold water to fill up water bottle. Amazing food nearby

Only one toilet / shower for 12+ people. No social space.

Well priced for Singapore. Great location. Clean, lockers a decent size.

Stayed in October 2024

Only one toilet and one sink in the toilet, making it hard for basic stuff like brushing teeth because 16 people use the same.

Very clean and good location.

Bathroom and toilet not so good, to many people to share, other guests didn’t follow the rules.

Clean and the stuff was nice and cared for the cleannyof the space. Located in the heart of Chinatown

Not all guests were respectfull of all the rules.

It was very clean and the lady was super friendly and helpfull.

Stayed in November 2024

Only one toilet and shower shared between two rooms (could be up to 12 people). But didn’t cause much of an inconvenience due to not many people staying.

Great location near a tube station and hawker centre. Not far to the centre if you choose to walk. Very clean, cool and quiet for a few days stay.

Staff was friendly and lots of nice food nearby. Location was excellent. Definitely coming back again 🙂

The thin wall doesn't provide barrier against the noise from outside, but luckily the street is not too busy. There is not sink in the kitchen, so you have to wash your dishes in the restroom. Only one toilet and one shower to cover two dorm rooms. It took me a while to find it, google maps doesn't cooperate well.

The room was clean, there are curtains on the beds giving you privacy. There is drinking water, so you don't have to buy it. The staff was very nice and helpful. It's surprising, how cosy it is despite very little space.

a microwave would be nice

nice staff

There is no common place or any way to socialize, there is a place to eat.

It was centre of the city near to China town and mrt station

It was very basic and because it was F1 weekend it ended up being really expensive for the facilities. If you’re paying a cheap rate you can’t really complain.

The property was in such a good location. They were constantly cleaning the bathroom and was overall very clean. They also gave me a free t-shirt which was a very nice touch.

Couldn’t fault it.
