One of the best hostels I have stayed at. The pod style concept really works. Great facilities including a kitchen and lounge with tv and games. Location is great. Plenty of restaurants and bars nearby and a short walk to mrt.

The pod dorm is really nice, much more confortable than a bunk bed. The hostel has really god facility, good breakfast, aircon all the in the dorm, David, a staff memeber, is extremely kind and helpful, he checked me in early morning, thanks! The common room is huge and nice but due to the lack of aircon some people remain in the dorm, I would suggest in day time to use the aircon in the common room instead of the dorms. Really nice hostel, definitely reccomended, perhaps the best in SG

Clean and very good value for money compared with other options in the area, though the noise from Club St can be very loud late at night.

This was my first overseas hostel stay and it was a great experience. Super friendly and helpful staff, clean and confortable with great, private bed spaces. The location is good with good, cheap, local food and the hussle and bussle of Chinatown on your doorstep. Its handy to train stations too. A great place to explore Singapore from.

The bathroom and down stairs is if you could get the downstairs room. No air in small common area but tv and massage chair. Cearaland toast for breakfast. Says they have airport transfers. They don't. Bus and train easy but don't run after 12pm. Have to rent towel $1.00. Rooftop bar one block down and lots of great places to eat. Two blocks from Chinatown.

Outstanding stay in exciting Chinatown! Staff made every effort to suggest places to visit and explain how to get there. Beds were nice, some beds down the end of the room miss the air from the fan but sleeping room is air-conditioned anyway. Games room is a great place to relax. 24 Hr Breakfast was great.

No complaints, nice hostel close to two mrt stations, helpful staff and kept quite clean. Not much atmosphere despite there being a decent common area. Would recommend.

i spent 3 weeks traveling thailand and indonesia and was in singapore on 3 occasions between flights..each time i was happy to have the stopover as the hostel was like a 5* hotel in comparison with some of the places i'd stayed..staff were friendly, welcoming and helpful.. wifi worked in the dorms as well as communal areas, unlike other hostels i stopped in.. the place was so clean... and with china town at the end of the street you would expect it to be in a bustling area but it was so quiet

Sinagapore is not a cheap Country, bit this hostel is really near a food market, making it easier to keep to the budget. Plus the manager and the reception girls are the friendliest!

The staff is awesome! Super friendly, welcoming and helpful. I had problems with my credit card and they made all the phone calls for me, oversea calls as well and even accommpanied me to the ATM. When I left they even gave me a ride to the next train station, because I was running a little late. Thank you so much guys, you're doing a great job!

A lovely hostel in a great location, near chinatown, the maxwell food market and bars and restaurants on club street. It is also very accessible to the airport with the MRT. The hostel and the facilities are spotless and the all-day breakfast was an added treat. As a solo traveller it was a quiet hostel and may not be the best place to meet like-minded souls.

Staff consistently went above and beyond to ensure my stay at the hostel was good, they also helped me find things to do in Singapore and how to get around. This place feels like home. Love the no shoe policy Only thing that could make it better, a bar on the top floor and themed nights. Thanks for a wonderful stay :)

Very clean, homey place, with free all-day complimentary breakfast. Staff was very accommodating. Walking distance from Chinatown, Maxwell Food Center, MRT station, lots of taxis passing by. Beds were cozy. Your luggage is secure.

Sleeping in a matchbox just begged to be tried, with a small thought about being hemmed in and could i sleep,i booked three nights only. I found it comfortable, cozy, plenty of room to stretch,i liked the reading light touch and the spare plug socket at the pillow end. i slept in a top box which for my age was easy enough to climb into. I liked the small amount of spray through the night mixed amongst the aircon counter acted the smell of back packers old clothes which some like to spread around
