Nice hostel, quiet even though there were curtains instead of walls. Clean and well kept and in walking distance from both mrt, shoppingmall and supermarket. Only stayed one night but would stay here again!

Friendly staff. Stayed in female dorm & it was surprisingly quiet at night, eventhough the dorms are separated by curtains. Stayed an extra night because I thought it was good value for the money.

The experience is totally different to what we expected. Its not 5 mins walk from Lavender MRT, its 10 minutes. Needs to improve the facilities like bed. Each room is partitioned by curtains only and not door. I suggest that they improve the environment because it has a very bad smell. The guests can not tolerate the bad smell of the hostel. Needs improvement for a better stay.

good value for money as Singapore is expensive. but I will try to find a better one (more expensive) if I go back to Singapore. breakfast is very light. the blanket is too small. very nice staff, very helpful, Wi-Fi is good. not many people but it is easy to talk to the few I met there. there are food stalls, a 7/11 around the corner.not far from MRT and bus station to KL. but no good bars around.dorms and showers are old.

The hostel location is ok - not far from the MRT, a lot of food courts and shops around. The staff is very helpful, free breakfast is ok, beds are comfortable, you get a free locker, it's clean... The only disadvantage is the size of dorms - there are 3, in one space divided by curtains, so 36 people practically sleep together in one huge room. And even if there are less people and one snores - you will definitely hear them...

Perhayouths hostel can do something with the (door) curtains. Sometimes people who walk by the door can peer into the room. Maybe some guests need some privacy. Other than that the service is great. I was happy with my stay at the hostel.
