If you want to stay on the east coast this is a decent choice - right beside some bars and shops and only a few minutes walk to the beach. We stayed in a double room and it was fairly small but ok. Shower toilets etc are clean.

Hi Lia Thank you for your feedback , We do only have pantry with hot water and microwave for guest usage. No open fire cooking for the safety and cleanliness of the hostel as we are a small bed and breakfast establishment . As a budget hostel , we only can provide hot shower for guest but we will continue to expand our property to boutique hostel where we can offer guest a more luxurious alternative . Once again , thank you for choosing Fernloft !

Fernloft is definitely the place to go back for my next visit in Singapore. Uncle Chris, the manager, is very helpful and approachable. David, April, Ate Josie, and Aunt Mary are very friendly. It's a very safe place and you can just leave your belongings inside your room and roam around the city. The place is very cozy and I consider it my home away from home..Edz from the Philippines :)

Great little place to stay. Out of the city, close to the beach, but the centre is very accessible by bus. Staff are very helpful and obliging.

Although not centrally located, the transport service is right outside and is so easy and cheap to use. Also you get to see the east coast (which you wouldn't if you stayed in the city). The owner, Chris, was very helpful and the vibe of the place was good. Recommended.

Service was a joke, We booked three rooms, the night watchman read it as two and refused us a 3rd room. Was sorted out the next day when the manager came in.

HI Sir We do apologize due to the misinterpretation of the staff . He made an error but has manage to make your stay as comfortable as possible by adding a mattress in the room at the circumstance that he thought was only 2 rooms. He might be still groggy as your check in time was 5.00am and might have overlooked as the system show only the room types instead of showing the number of room. On behalf of the management , our apology again

Fern Loft East Coast was an absolutely ideal place, it was spic and span, homey and comfortable. It's location was nice as it's close to the beach yet just a short bus ride to the city. Best of all was the staff: Christopher, David and April are extremely warm and accommodating and the bar downstairs was an awesome hang out. I highly recommend this hostel, they contributed a lot to my stay in Singapore!
