It will be nice if they install a jet shower in the closet. I feel uncomfortable using tissue paper to rinse.

We stayed in a 6 pods ladies dorm and our sleep was disturbed by one person who checked in after midnight and she was inconsiderate in the room by unpacking her stuff from the luggage and keep on opening and closing her locker and also going in and out of the room many times. I would like to high light this matter to the hostel management so that in future the management can find a way to solve this matter. Everything in this hostel is excellent except the price is a bit expensive.

It is very clean and comfortable. The small things they provide, like the pod style beds and electrical outlet in each pod makes my stay very convenience.

I would recommend the Wink Hostel to everyone. It has been the best hostel I have ever stayed in and the staff went out their way to help and all exceeded my expectations. Candy arranged my shuttle bus, phoned and confirmed my trips and simply made my stay as simple as she could. Free wifi and great breakfasts also really made a huge difference. My thanks go to all staff including housekeeping who clearly do a fantastic job as the hostel is spotlessly clean. 1st Class!

Nice hostel located conveniently located in Chinatown. The pod style beds are really nice and comfortable. Everything was clean. There was air conditioned only in the rooms, so it was quite hot in the commons areas.

the top bunks are a little hard to get into and the bathrooms could do with airconditioning (i went from wet to sweating with no 'dry' inbetween) but otherwise this is a great hostel and the staff are really helpful, i would definately stay again!

A fabulous place for something in between true backpacker style dorms & a budget hotel.

Excellent staff who are friendly and helpful, and facilities are well-cleaned thoroughly throughout the day. Could use a larger water heater though as the hot shower ran out of hot water on a couple occasions during our stay. Other than that though, overall the hostel is great in terms of location and service / amenities.

The hostel was well located and handy for getting to the marina, if you enjoy walking and the MRT was just round the corner. The staff were helpful and friendly. The hostel was quiet, apart from the early rises who kept rustling plastic bags. The free use of the internet was a bonus and I was able to keep in touch with my family. The breakfast was also really useful as it kept me going for most of the day. I am glad I paid more to stay at this hostel.

Nice hostel and friendly staff! Few points for improvement: -more places to put staff in bathrooms -AC seemed to blow wind directly to some people, who didn\'t like that and switched the AC off, leaving the others sweating.. maybe some curtains in front of pods would be useful?

This was a good hostel. But I didn't agree with other reviewers that it's practically a hotel, etc. It is very much a hostel, even with all the techie amenities. The staff were helpful and friendly and the location was great. Things that could be better: there should be rules/guidelines about when the big lights go off in the dorm (rather than wait until someone's bold enough to do it) and whether the A/C goes off (it shouldn't ever... setting can be adjusted, and there are thick blankets!)

clean and secure with good helpful staff. but the pods are NOT sound proof and the dorm is noisy with people coming and going late into the night, also one person was snoring. i didn't sleep very well because it was too noisy in the dorm.

We had a pleasent stay in Wink Hostel. The Hostel is an experience itself - very trendy and technical. It has a very nice common area where you can spend your time even after check out. They let you shower after check out when your flight leaves late at night. Very friendly staff, very clean, free internet access. Even though it' s a bit expensive for low budget traveller we experienced that it's worth it to spend some more money on singapore hostels. We can absolutely recommend it.

Really enjoyed my stay, a nice oasis in Singapore. Very clean, really comfy beds and lots of room. Only small issues like wifi didn't work in my room, and some brown bread for breakfast would have been nice.

I've never experienced such pods before, they are none in hostels in Europe or in Americas. It's really great, you really feel some privacy, you're not disturbed by the other in the room. There is a living room with a XBox, Dvd player ; a big kitchen... Also, people working there are really great, smiling, helpful. You'll love them !!
