We were in Singapore for just one night, and this was the perfect place for us to be. The location is great, and it's just found the corner from the Chinatown stop on the MRT. The room was okay - very small, no windows, but good AC and seemed clean enough. The bathroom was also just okay. There is no... More

We are a couple and we spent 2 nights there. The room was too small, the bed was between the walls, so you can't walk or stay comfortable there. The kitchen and the bathrooms also are too small. It's a hostel to stop quickly there, no stay a lot in the room and in the building.

I have stayed here on a few occasions since 2012 till recently. The location right at the heart of Chinatown is very strategic especially if you want easy access to the MRT and also to CBD. From the private bedroom to the 4-bed dorm room to the 6-bed mixed areas, the beds are well maintained and clean. Air conditioning is... More

Our rooms was super small, us two could not stand up and dress up or look for smth in a bag. The room was clean, however, the common bathroom was not that clean. I think its needs a proper scrub. Its strange that the hostel does not have a common room, so if you want to have small breakfast, you... More

I'll be honest - this is the smallest place I have ever stayed. We shared a room with 2 bunks. We couldn't store our backpacks in the lockers so I recommend taking a lock if you are travelling with a large or oversized bag. There is no space at all in the hostel. No communal area and no room at... More

On my last trip in July 2012, the reception take us to the other building - separate from the reception, which is clean, comfy, quiet - complete facility and free internet access. Perfect for gals traveler. Quiet near to Chinnatown MRT, Mosque, and Shrine. Food? plenty choices. There's lot of souvenirs shops.

This is a backpackers ideal place to be. Clean, quiet, very secure, friendly and great service. It is on 30a Mosque Road right in the heart of the city of Singapore next to Pagoda Street China town. Did I add that the price is only $25.- per night!. A great bargain for someone on a tight budget. The bathrooms and... More
