Pay for what you get. Not the greatest place lots of dirt and mould around the room. When you book a 4 person room don’t expect it to have a door. Your corridor is connected to multiple other rooms so you will hear them too. They probably don’t change the pin for the place as the key pin is so worn down you could just see what it would be and guess to get it correct. Location was great right on china town streets so easy to access public transport. Check in is across the road not in hostel

In the three nights that I booked, it seemed like the toilets and showers weren’t cleaned one single time. There was dirt all around the room and on the “night stands” on the wall. It might be one of the cheaper options in Singapore, but I would definitely not recommend it to anyone. Ugh.

The place wasn't cleaned at all in the 4 days I stayed there. The toilets and showers were filthy and no toilet roll in 1 of the toilets for 3 days. Reception is a building on the other side of the road. I just didn't get good vibes at all from there. There were 2 ACs in my dorm, but one was turned off near me for some reason and the fan was turned off too. No curtains and no windows and an awful balcony that was scruffy, dirty and a load of generators or something that kicked out a lot of heat.
