Friendly and polite staff. Good laundry service..
Rooms without window, cleaning issues in bathrooms/toilets and kitchen, as well. Toilets were very tight and no elevator !!!

Amazing hostel in Singapore, great atmosphere, good staff, clean, and easily accessible. I really liked it.
I would recommend having curtains on the beds, it's a bit uncomfortable, but I didn't have any problems.

Loved the location of this hostel in the historic Joo Chiat neighborhood. They put together a lovely guide to explore both the area and Singapore as a whole. Very easy to get to via public transport. Staff was friendly and super helpful. Seemed like people enjoyed having a space to work. They also have dry goods for sale if you need snacks, drinks, soap, etc. Cash only unless you have more than s$25. The price matches the value.
I booked here because the ratings were so high, it looked like a great place, I was expecting it to be way nicer than it was. The photos of the rooms are accurate; they are sparse with zero privacy. “Breakfast Included” is also a bit misleading as the option is toast with jam, maybe a pastry, coffee or tea. No fresh fruit or cereals or juices are offered, so it’s a very simple breakfast compared to the other hostels I’ve stayed at throughout the region for less. A good bit of the common area is used for storage so I wasn’t sure what was open to use without having to ask.
