The place is for budget traveler. Room is too small to breathe, but quite clean. It's kind of self-serving hostel, the host will give you bed-clothes. There are only 2 bathrooms (old-equipped) for all guests, it really takes time to wait in the morning and evening. There are bus-stops just a few steps from door and a Boon-keng MRT, 600m away from hostel. There is no 7-eleven nearby. Breakfast is super simple with sandwich and jam.

Get hostel sandals earplug cotton buds and showercap and plastic. WiFi is fast. Breakfast of fresh bread with some jam according to what we want is okay.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was clean, and the bed was changed with clean linnen. And a big towel. If you have a city-bag like me, the locker is big enough. Breakfast was fresh bread or toast with spread. Tea and coffee have there all the day. In the centre of 2 MRT very near. Your always in no time at the location you want. Combined this with a MRT tourist pass. And are ready to gravel. This hostel was real hit. If I go to Singapore again. I will book there.
