Great place to stay...staff are helpful and friendly. Beds are comfortable and clean. Nice community feel to it. Breakfast is just cereal and toast, would have been nice to have had egg or something more filling. I would stay there again.

This is a super well organised hostel. They've really thought of everything. For example, there's a electrical plug by every bed light, and a little container to hold your phone or camera while it's charging. A very thoughtfully set up hostel.

Very nice hostel in the heart of Arab Street. Clean rooms with aircon and lockers which are provided for free. The bathroom facilities are average - still in construction and not always that clean. But really really great staff. Is worth a visit.

Really good hostel, nice rooms, clean, amazing roof ... Toilets are the only weak point (smal and a bit dirty). I would really recommend it.

Great, funky, little hostel in the centre of Kampong Glam. Modern fit-outs, solid bunks, air-con, friendly staff and fantastic rooftop social area including tv, free internet and comfy couches. The only downside while I was there was the limited social side but I think I was a bit unlucky with a few upgrades going on that limited the number of ppl staying. But otherwise a great hotel. Highly recommended.

I had a great stay in Singapore and for an important part, that was thanks to you :) I really liked the little details such as the photo's (was your dishes, etc.) and the bedlamps. Hope it will stay like this :)

Good location, amazingly friendly staff, 24 hour breakfast, and a nice rooftop to hang out on. The bathrooms left something to be desired but overall a great hostel.

Clean hostel with a good location. Best part of the hostel was the rooftop lounge and all day breakfast. Met a lot of people here and was a good place to relax when the rain poured. Security was good but sometimes a pain to have to bring the keycard everywhere with you in the hostel. Definitely locked myself out a few times but not a deal breaker. Staff was amazing and really nice.

We really enjoy our stay there. Everything is smooth but the location is slightly far from the mrt. Muslim halal food Is easily found and we enjoy the murtabak from the opposite sultan mosque.

Excellent hostel. The rooftop living up its name as a social hostel. Although, I'm gonna highlight some stuff that can be improve, it would be a perfect dream hostel if these were addressed: 1. My bed still has plastic cover below the bed sheet that will make sound when you move. Wouldn't be pleasant to others in the middle of the night. 2. The cafe below could use a bit of interior design. Right now, it doesn't really look like a cafe from outside. Understand that the cafe is still new.

Great hostel! The staff were lovely, the rooftop is amazing, and the beds comfy and the dorms clean. Overall it's a fantastic place to stay, however if your after luxury bathrooms it might not be the best. Didn't bother me in the slightest but I can imagine it might others. Thanks guys for a fantastic stay!

Terrible bathrooms, with shower & toilet combined with no ventilation; making for cramped showers, eternally wet toilet seats and hot, steamy, sometimes smelly toilets. Bedrooms were small and windowless.

Overall it was a nice place to stay at. It's very convenient as it is pretty close to city and also the bus station so you could actually walk there. There's alot of food joints around as well. I will definitely come back here again on my next visit. :))

I had a great time here, and met a lot of really cool people. The staff is incredibly nice and genuine. They seem like backpackers themselves, so they get where you're coming from. Will definitely go back here if i'm in Singapore!
