★★★★★“We stayed here for 2 nights as a family of 5 in the family room. The room was comfortable and was as expected for a hostel room. The beds were actually quite comfy, and it was really quiet at night. It seemed clean, too. However, and this is a big, however...... we appeared to be the only authentic tourists there. Everyone else seemed to be single men who were contract workers. We did not see another woman in the place for the whole time we were there, which was a bit intimidating. They all just seemed to lay around the communal areas.”
★★★★★“This hostel is well placed near Little India and the metro and really reasonably priced. The staff are really friendly and helpful, so you’d think this was a great spot to stay. However, it seems to be less a hostel and more a permanent housing place for men who rent beds for months at a time. When we got there, they’d overbooked the double beds in the smaller rooms, and we each had to take a single bunk in a room of men who were quite clearly living there. I felt uneasy, unsafe and wasn’t sure what to make of this. Then there’s the bathrooms. They are filthy. Urine all over the floor (and no where near the toilet bowl either). I had to throw some socks away because it was so gross. For a slightly higher price you could stay somewhere much cleaner and from the looks of it, ours wasn’t an isolated experience.”
★★★★★“A good hostel. The staff is very helpful. The location is very central around the metro, 7/11, markets, and restaurants/cafes. The hostel is really clean. During our stay, the hostel and common areas were always clean. The hostel and its surroundings are safe. We are touring cyclists, and our bicycles were left in front of the hostel on the street during our stay. Recommend to travelers looking for hostels in Singapore.”
