The Hostel was excellent value for money, two second walk away from the bus into the city. Staff extremely welcoming and very helpful and knowledgeable when we asked them to help plan our day. Hostel highly recommended. Free breakfast aswell! if you don't use your breakfast token then it can be put towards lunch or dinner in the bistro below.

I came to Hosel in night time, the girl in frontdesk Niky was very kind. The bathroom is the most horrible thing i have seen in my life, you really can not to have privacity for take a shower, there 2 bathrooms for a lot of people, and is not clean. In their web site they said that internet and breakfast is free but is a lie, they give you a discount for food in their restaurant and for internet you have 30 fake minutes because if you want use only 10 minutes and the rest later you wont can.

Owner Comment (Show)
Thank you for your compliments of Staff Nikki, I have thanked her personally. Investigated with team. Guest appears not to understand English very well and or appears to have misunderstood instructions on checking in with Nikki. There are 5 breakfast sets available for the voucher given and breakfast time is from 8am -11am. After breakfast hours, if the breakfast voucher is still not claimed, the guest can use it to as a discount of main course items. eg Toasted Ham & Cheese sandwich with fries for S$1 after the voucher discount. As for the internet time, the guest simply did not read the instructions nor understand the instructions given verbally; free 30minutes is for a single session, ironically we have given her 35 minutes and she walked away from 10minutes without telling us and the computer was held up by her session for the remainder while she was away. Wifi is totally free and unlimited but oddly she did not comment about that. There are more toilets on different floors to use but again she didn't understand the instructions given. Cleanliness is an issue when the hostel is fairly full, we will be stepping up our hourly checks and cleaning; she should not have kept silent while she felt that she has suffered.
