Very cramped, no window in the dorm and you had to walk through one dorm to get the another but then it was very cheap, so I expected this. However the AC was off during the day, when it was very hot and on all night, making it freezing. No top sheets were provided so it was hard to sleep in the cold. There was no lock on the shower room. The lockers were small and when I returned the locker key at the end of my stay, they refused to give me back my deposit.

The rooms without aircon are incredibly uncomfortable - do NOT take a room on the 3rd floor. Small, did not seem clean, and the walls/windows give you no privacy even in a private room. Recommend you find somewhere else to stay for just a dollar or two more per night.

Comfortabel beda, good location. The place is really big, too many people! And the no alcohol after 9pm rule doesn't really work since everyone obviously wants to have a beer while chilling in the hostel at night. They basically kick you out if you want to keep drinking and actually check all the rooms to see if noone is drinking secretly. I felt like a 15 year old again, having to hide my drinks from my parents.

very good location just a few blocks from the bus stop from airport, many cheap places to eat around it, but poor housekeeping and they give you only one sheet to the bed

I booked two twin rooms but when I came, they gave me one double room and one dorm room with three bed without any explanation. Stuff in the bathroom is broken. I was very pleased to stay at Backpacker Inn hostel in Singapore in same area (China town) just before traveling to Malaysia so I felt very upset with hostel in Malaysia.

Room was clean, bed confortable and fan made nice fresh air in room so I slept well. The tour guide Geoff was very helpful and friendly and the day tour I did was good value for money. Local markets were interesting. Hostel was nice and clean

Very good, no-frills hostel. The rooftop bar is fun and cheap, and the rooms are what you would expect for the price. The staff was largely helpful except for one lady who worked in the middle of the day while we were there. She was the rudest staff member I have encountered at a hostel and acted like it pained her to answer our questions, which she usually responded to with grunts and one word answers.

Not the best facilities, dorms are pretty old, but very nice people and nice rooftopbar. Would stay there again.

Would definitely stay there again! A young Malay male staff working there is very rude and reluctant to smile to guest! Do not be surprise if your room does not even have a fan because my room is equipped with a ventilation fan! Stayed in Twin Private Shared Bathroom, Traveled with a friend

The hostel was by no means worth the money you pay for it, the staff were unfriendly to begin with and that was all we heard of them, the room was dirty and cramped and the so called air conditioning was a vent that blew hardly any air into the room when they had it switched on overnight - that's if it stays on all night which it didn't.

Really nice place! Near the MRT and little India. Gave me free tickets to a football game. Breakfast is just toast and coffee but of good quality. Probably the cheapest place in Singapore that isn't a scam or a dive. Definitely stay there again!
