Toilet floor always in wet condition, maybe can make a check list every 1 hour, to mop and to clean the toilet and floor.

Super nice place!! I was really surprised how clean and nice the Hostel and all the facilities were! I only stayed one night but would stay again if I come back to Singapore. The rooms are spacious, have AC and lockers. The bathrooms were cleaned regularly and very modern! The common area with TV and comfy couches are perfect to get in touch with other travelers, the staff was super nice and helpful and the free breakfast with cereal, toast and jams was awesome!

Great hostel with really friendly staff! Good facilities in the rooms and common area. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to stay in little India. And the bar next door does great drink deals if your staying at the hostel!

There was a bit of confusion with my check-in time. The booking process simply asked me to indicate my time of arrival which I indicated as 2 AM (15 Jan), given that my flight was arriving at 140 AM (15 Jan). I intended to check-out after breakfast of the same day. I really just needed a place to stay for the night. So in my mind, my stay period would be 2PM 14 Jan to 12 Noon 15 Jan. But the lobby staff upon seeing my booking confirmation wanted me to wait until 2 PM of 15 Jan before checking in

Very friendly staff. Decent, clean and air-conditioned rooms. Well located 5 minutes walk from the MRT and a whole buzzing market and shopping centres. Chilled out. Not to big, not too small, just great. No regrets.

I've just stayed at this hostel for 5 days..it was clean, tidy, the staffs were friendly, especially the girl wearing glasses..the breakfast was pretty decent, plus great location, 5 mins walking from Little India MRT and 10mins from Bugis MRT..i hope they will have the lighting in each bed next time..over all that was great!

The location is fantastic - right in the heart of little India :) I thought the toilets could have been cleaned more often, but it was OK. the staff are good and the place is well set up. My stay there was enjoyable.

WiFi had problems - I think they needed to reboot the WiFi (router boxes) on each floor more regularly, but very decent stay, great staff, good breakfast

It felt safe and was clean. Those are my 2 big "look for" things! Staff were friendly and helpful as well. Pub next door, but not much of a party atmosphere in hostel. Location was close enough to MRT etc, so easy to travel around. If i return to Singapore i would stay there again. ...Would be even better if slightly cheaper! :-)

Is really good, but they have a bar in the corner of the street at sometime at night is really noise. The place is cool and there is always a lot of people staying here so you get the chance to met other people.

Great Place, honestly. It's right in little India, but also a 5 minute walk to the Bugis Area and from there the rest of the city and the Quays. Free Wi-fi, free computers, free breakfast. The place is clean, not too big, and most of all friendly. Francis, at the front desk, was great. He saw me riding the bus one day, watched me miss my stop, then missed his own to follow me and point me in the right direction. Who does that? When I return I'll stay here no question

It is much much better to have Rm204 facilities in every single room..e.g. a light per bed.

We are in the midst of upgrading our facilities and all of our rooms will have a reading light at every bed. As we could only install the reading lights when the room is vacant, we need a little more time to complete our upgrading. Rest assured that all lights will be installed soon and you will definitely have a personal reading light of your own during your next stay with us. Cheers!!!

Very nearby to mrt station and shops and restaurants. Its a big hostel, but the breakfast area is rather small and some of us have to stand and eat. We were very tired of travelling in the bus the whole night. We were hoping to rest for a while while waiting for the room, but since the living area is very small we have no choice but to stay out until 2pm, then only return back to room. The ladies toilet shower room is not so clean. No proper luggage room. Family room very small. No space to move
