Thin bed, I can feel the frame of the bed. Noisy room, everyone talks loud in middle of night. Thrash below your bed. Dirty room & bathroom smell bad, you must through the pantry & some trash bin, so dirty. Early checkout but no one stay at reception, so I call the emergency number more than 15 times but no one pick it up, then receptionist guy came after around 30 mins.

Everything is not as expected and the picture is different from the original. everything is a mess, the door is broken. The mattress number is filled. Do not want to be responsible, more wants the interests of the hotel than the comfort and satisfaction of the hostel. Hopefully it is blessed.

The price is quite cheap, there is an additional breakfast every morning. The employees and the travelers are also friendly. But because I am a woman and a Muslim, it is rather uncomfortable because most of the residents are male.

The location is close to the MRT station (Rochor), not far from important spots in Singapore such as Merlion Park, Marina Bay, center for souvenirs, Bugis souvenir center, Mustafa Center, Sultan Mosque, etc. So it can be reached by foot. But because it is a dormitory, we must be prepared to share space with strangers. Because the price is among the cheapest, it's okay, recommended for men or women as long as they are able to look after themselves.
