Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This hostel is a fantastic place to stay if you wish to be centrally located in Chinatown and close to all forms of public transit. The room was perfectly adequate, with the exception of the a/c which was fabulous. I wouldn't consider what they offered in the morning as breakfast (bread, jam, peanut butter, cereal), but it was free. They offered instant coffee and tea all day. The staff was friendly and the property was clean. I would stay here again!

Great location

We are a bit apprehensive about booking a hostel for the family but the room had everything we need. Its of course small but its Singapore so we expected that. The breakfast is basic but coffee, tea, toast and cereal was on offer so was good. The service was execllent and the staff were always on hand even at 1am when we checked in!
