room had no windows and noisy air conditioning. \"no windows\" should be advertised as such in the information provided on line.

Very accommodating staff, great facilities, clean, the rooms and sheets are clean, however, sometimes at night the people in the hallway can be heard, so sometimes i get awakened by the loud voices, but in general, everything is worth for every dollar spent for the stay..

Near the Kallang MRT, but it is very noisy at night. I am difficult to sleep well. And then, the room smell odor. The bed get easy to sound, if we move a little, it will sound.

The cleanliness for bed cover is poor, even the staff change it into a new bedcover but it still a little dusty there, and there's no curtain for the window, just closed it with newspaper :(. For the bed its good enough, the ring didn't noisy. Its near MRT, there's take not much time to find this place. All conditions are suitable with the price, so I can't expect over, but so far this is good enough for someone who just need for rest after the journey :D

We didn`t like the Hostel, it`s very pathetic. We already booked via Hostels.com and we already contacted to the Hostels about our arrival. When we arrived, the room has been given to someone else. We were very upset and disappointed to the Hostels management. As you know, we arrived in the midnight and we already tired because our flight.

Cheap and nasty. Major water leak in room. Hot shower not working. Excellent location however makes it fair value for an expensive city like Singapore

The hostel consists of three buildings, we spent three nights in the one over the Chinese restaurant. The bathrooms were definately in need of some care, basic cleaning seemed to lack/was not done during our stay. One bathroom was so dirty we preferred not to use is. Our room was not clean as well: earcleanerstick under the bed and a thick layer of dust on a lot of places. Staff was quite helpfull. Please note: all double rooms have bunkbeds, no doubles

Hostel is not for long stays. If you are looking for something to survive the night, OK. Otherwise, you better find something else.

Cleanliness awful (raoaches fell from AC, condoms on closet, bad smell). Very few space but I think it is ok for this price. We got room with windows to the street - impossible to sleep (loudness, lights etc.). Oozy surfaces everywhere. Internet works only when sun is in conjunction with at least three other solar system planets. Staff helpfull only as far as you make them so. Weird and creepy people gathering around and inside. But interesting taste of Asia and maybe thats just how it is here.

The staffs are very nice, it's situated just 2 minutes away from Kallang MRT Station, but the room, the bathroom and the toilet are dirty. I don't think I will stay in this hotel no more. Unless I have no other choice!
