The hostel is in a great location, the beds were clean, there was a little noise at night, and the lockers make a lot of noise too. But is a great value for money. I stayed 4 nights.

This hostel was in a great location but it really wasn't a great place to meet people. The rooms were fine but the bathroom downstairs was not clean and there was only one toilet and one shower for everyone on the first floor.

Good location and very cheap, rooms were standard but bathrooms were disgusting-there were pigeons nesting in the roof so the smell was unbareable and the showers were cold and not very clean at all. Breakfast was disappointing and there were ants all around it- Our friend stayed on the same street and had a nice hostel so I would say stay on the street as its a good location for cheap.

Staff were incredibly unhelpful, to the point of rudeness. Aside from that an adequate hostel, although no kitchen facilities. We were later told it had a breakfast with toast etc, but we found this out too late to verify the information. Given that we stayed there three nights it was quite surprising it took that long to find out. DON'T GET THE 'FREE' SHUTTLE SERVICE TO UNIVERSAL STUDIOS! It's a con.

Clean, fast free wireless and great location.

The location is unbeatable, it's just 5 min walk from Clarke Quay station. You can take a stroll to the beautiful Clarke Quay, or along the river to the signature Merlion within 20 mins. The room was clean and comfortable, yet the wifi is sometimes unstable.

Excellent location in a no-frills get-what-you-paid-for utilitarian experience. Bookings went through smoothly and they knew who was coming in and out well, and lockers available for shared rooms. The location is just minutes walk from the most touristy and central locations in Singapore-- Clark Quay, Marina Bay, the Museums. Twin room was very nice for hostel standards, stayed in shared room forst night because of lack of availability, twin the second night was very clean and comfy.
