The only comment i would like to make is that there is allot of publicity for alcohol drinking. A particular publicity was saying: at the end we have 30 "crowlers" or more (crowling because you drink allot). showing a man walking and ending lying in the floor. This advertisement was in the hall, bathroom, living room, etc. Knowing the consecuences of hazardous drinking from research, i think is not good to have the atmosphere inviting to much the backpackers to join for this. The rest was good.

Amazing hostel, where they really created a home away from home! You feel welcome from the first time you talk to them - even before you are actually there! When you have the chance, go and try it out^^ you won't regret it!

What an amazing hostel! I went with two friends and we stayed in the six-bed female dorm. Very clean, nice roof garden, free breakfast and wi-fi, and easily the most friendly and helpful staff I've ever encountered at a hostel. It really helped kick off a brilliant long weekend in Singapore. Highly recommend.

Great staff! We had some troubles with a double booking, so we also stayed one night at their other hostel sleepy kiwi for same price. The neighbourhood is not a tourist location, but once again the great staff makes up for everything! Would recommend this place to everyone!

We were only here for or night on a layover, but we enjoyed our stay here. The staff were super friendly and helpful! The dorms were very clean and comfortable - only thing I would improve would be to provide large lockers in the rooms - they did have them for hire in the main lobby though. Coffee was amazing!

The best part about this hostel is the staff. They were super friendly and helpfull. There is free maps and the staff outlined a free walking tour route. The hostel is clean and comfortable and close to good bus and rail routes. The breakfast was small but tasty and the coffee was real coffee. Overall it was good value and an enjoyable stay, highly reccomended

The hostel is near my planned destinations with easy MRT and bus taking within 15-20 mn. I was really enjoyed my staying there with the good facilities and nice serving attitudes the staffs shew, especially the quietness the hostel has even though it is at the corner of the busy crossroads. I traveled to Mallacca for 1 nights, and how nice the hostel was to give us to put the luggage at their lobby until the next day after my trip to Malaysia. I will definitely stay there for the next coming

Nice atmosphere, although the rooms had no main lights so was hard to see sometimes. Air con was too cold (almost had to put on a jumper). Nice breakfast, good value & close to buses & food court, too far to walk to a lot of attractions though. NO recycling - cannot understand that, hostels in Cambodia can manage it but not a hostel in Singapore?

Lovely, warm and helpful staff here, very easy to meet people in the communal areas. Lovely rooftop garden with plenty of seating. Breakfast is good with some traditional Singaporean jams! Plenty of maps, information and prices of transport and sights.
