Love this hostel. Clean bed, clean bathroom, very comfortable and very nice receptionist. 2 blocks away from the MRT station made it easier for us to go everywhere. Definitely will be back to this hostel when we visit Singapore again. :)

Very convenient, very close to my accommodation. It's easy to get around, and there's always food available in the area. It's clean and the service is excellent. The price is affordable, so you can explore the city without worrying about transportation. It's right next to the Chinatown MRT station, which is great!

It's okay. The price is quite cheap. I booked it specifically to watch F1 (some people in the room also came because of F1) (I booked a year in advance). The check-in staff was kind and chatted with me after I told them I was Thai. In front of the hostel is the way down to the MRT, very convenient, no need to walk far. There are a lot of restaurants around, I don't know the prices (but there's a 7-Eleven not far). Next to it are a lot of souvenir shops with cheap prices. The bathroom is clean and someone cleans it every day. You might get a good roommate because when I went in, I really just slept. Everyone tried to make themselves as quiet as possible so as not to disturb each other. The room was almost always dark. There is a hair dryer, a refrigerator, and soap and shampoo (I'm not sure if they're from the hostel, but they're in the bathroom. If they are, it's very convenient and you don't have to bring them too much. However, there are no towels provided, so you have to bring your own. Check-in and check-out are easy (fill out the form online). The only downside is that it might be random because I got a metal bed and slept on top, so it made some noise. I'm not sure if it was a wooden bed or not. The blanket also smelled a bit. I should have been able to change it, but I didn't ask for it. P.S. All of the above are female-only rooms. I'm not sure if the dormitory rooms are the same because they seem to be in a separate building, so the entire building is female-only (I think. I didn't see any men).

Right next to the train station so it's very convenient to get around; there are many good restaurants nearby, worth trying. The downside is that there's no elevator.

Negative: Very confusing check in process. Had to go to another building to check in. I got a bed on the top, right in front of the AC, and the AC seemed like it had never been cleaned, making me allergic and breathing. The blanket given was dirty, making my body itchy. I couldn't sleep. The dining area only had a small table, the bathroom was connected to the toilet and was very small. Positive: the location is very close to Chinatown MRT. The hostel price is relatively cheap.
