Guest Reviews
- Yen (1/5): -
- Kim (10/5): - Clean, comfy bed None
- Siraj (10/5): -
- Nikita (4/5): Would not recommend - Good location close to the bus stops and train station The lady on check in was very rude and did not even show me how to get in to the hallways, my room or where the facilities were. Luckily a male worker saw me struggling with my stuff and showed me everything. I was put in a dorm with no one else so not sociable at all. Facilities were very dirty everytime I went in
- Gregory (1/5): Cheap and low quality living. - The staff were very friendly The smell, the dirtiness of the toilets, and the loud noises coming from the rooms at night that were never stopped by anyone. Lots of problems but you get what you pay for.
- Deksyn (10/5): -
- Zunika (7/5): stay in Spore - towel is not provided and small bteakfast is given is only available by 9.00 am. it is very late.
there is cockroach in the room.

- Hossain (8/5): Need to be more professional - The location was excellent Service
- Daniella (10/5): great, friendly - the receptionists are so nice and helpful. the bed was super comfy, and the ac in the room was nice. i stayed in the female dorm and i recommend that for sure. i felt very safe and comfortable with the girls in my room, and there’s a female only bathroom too. easy area to commute from, very clean very friendly, and there were coffee and refreshments in the morning! the men here were are older, that’s why i recommend female down.
- Francesca (1/5): Disgusting, poor, overpriced. - Bed was comfy BED BUGS - DO NOT STAY HERE
Many issues with this property but I drew the line at bed bugs.
- Dirty bathrooms, toilet paper on the floor, smelt bad in the showers, dirt up the walls, someone left a present in the toilet
- Dirty hallways and common area, not to mention the plastic bag covered sofas (a terrible attempt to get rid of the bed bugs)
- Didn’t see a single worker there - had to check in on a machine
- Had to be barefoot around the place yet the floors were dirty
- When I found bed bugs at 1am the EMERGENCY hostel number wasn’t being answered and I had no where to sleep
- Overpriced compared to the rest of SE Asia yet abysmally cheap compared to the rest of Singapore
I booked 3 nights but after waking up to a bed bugs on my face at 1am on the first night I had to leave. The hostel did refund me for the 2 nights that I didn’t stay but they could’ve saved the time and hassle if they actually cleaned the place.
- ganesan (7/5): -
- Thompson (7/5): In general really good - Nice location Beds were really hard, no room service for the whole week
- 白爱镯 (4/5): - 前台没人偶尔这一个,什么情况都是自己解决,尤其那个只会讲英语的前台坏到骨子里,脸上一点肉都没有的人真是坏透了,原来和我住一个宿舍,出去一秒没拿玥四,她就把门给你锁上想让你住在外面,坏透了,床晃的比摇篮都 员工服务太差

- Irena (1/5): STAY AWAY FROM THIS HOSTEL - The location is ok The family room (room for 4) is really very, very small. When we put down 4 backpacks, there wasn't even enough space in the room for all four of us to stand at once. What's worse, there is no window in the room. When we stayed the second night, we had no electricity, which meant that the sockets and air conditioning didn't work. As a result, we almost get cooked (imagine a tiny room with 4 bunk beds without window and aircon). There was also no electricity in the other rooms either, so the guests spent the whole night in the hallway arguing and looking for fuses to restore the electricity. Due to the power outage, the front door also didn't work, so anyone could come upstairs. When I told the lady at the reception all this in the morning and wanted a refund for the sleepless night, she was very rude. She assured me that she would arrange with Booking to refund my money, but I haven't received anything refunded in a month and a half.
As for cleanliness, the sheets were clean, but the bathrooms were very, very dirty.
Apparently, power outages happen regularly (it happened the first night too, but this time much less long), so it's routine for them to reset the fuse when the employee comes to work in the morning.
I STRONGLY ADVISE NOT STAYING IN THIS HOSTEL.

- Jonne (3/5): Jos tietoturva olisi kunnossa ja hygieniataso parempi, niin tätä voisi suositella. - Henkilökunta mukavaa ja sijainti OK, sillä bussipysäkit ja useampi ravintola heti lähellä. Myös huone kohtalaisen siisti ja ilmastoitu. Sängyt olivat hyviä. Pieni aamupala (kahvi + keksi) sisältyi hintaan. Pyykinpesumahdollisuus hyvä tosin koneita vain yksi. Erittäin huono tietoturva. Sähköpostiosoitteeni ja puhelinnumeroni kaapattiin tilausta tehtäessä. Rucksack inn ja Booking.com syyttävät tapahtuneesta toisiaan eikä kumpikaan ota vastuuta. Wifi ei siis käytettävissä kun tiedot vuotavat intialaisille huijareille.
Asukkaina lähinnä vierastyöläisiä eikä niinkään lomamatkailijoita. Näiden henkilöiden hygieniataso ei ollut kovin lähellä sitä mihin olemme itse tottuneet. Astioita ei tiskattu ja tiskaamiseen tarkoitetut välineet olivat likaisia. Suihkuissa paljon pieniä kärpäsiä.
- 志强 (5/5): - avoid this backpacker hostel as much as possible! A terrible five days.
I was bitten all over my body by bed bugs.
After I informed the front desk, they responded very passively.
They even argued with me, insisting it was not caused by bed bugs and said the redness was from something else.
I showed them photos of bed bugs, but they were still in denial.
They claimed it was the first time they had encountered this and even accused me of bringing the bed bugs myself.
In fact, several other guests had the same experience.
There wasn’t even a basic apology.
The common area bathrooms were also dirty.
Extremely disappointed.
- Catherine (6/5): -
- Mohamed Ebrahim (7/5): Acceptable stay at that cost - The beds are comfortable The steps to the top deck bed is too high. Entrance stairs are dirty. The receptionist can be kinder
- Hill (5/5): -
- Jeff (7/5): -
- Hasitha (10/5): -
- Sulatha (1/5): Someone else was sleeping on my bed so I don’t even get bed to sleep … lucky I was there for just few hours - My booking was not showing in the machine as no one was at reception so I had to pay again on machine and they refused to refund double booking charges ….
- Tien Woon (8/5): Average - Nothing particular. There is only one WC for twenty beds.
- Tien Woon (10/5): Good - Everything. None
- Phúc Phú (10/5): - Sạch sẽ, gần khu ăn uống, nhân viên thân thiện
- Phúc Phú (10/5): Tuyệt vời ! - Chổ nghỉ yên tĩnh, sạch sẽ, nhân viên thân thiện, xung quanh nhiều quán ăn
- Francisco (2/5): If you don't find other place to stay it's ok. - After I found out the location is quite good The place does not look nothing like the pictures showing on site.The place was dirty, bathrooms broken,and so dirty.the rooms were noisy ,and there is a noisy bar near not elevator
- Sven (3/5): lieber mehr Geld bezahlen und woanders übernachten - billigste Unterkunft in Singapur. Die Mitarbeiter waren freundlich. Das Einzige woran nicht gespart wurde, sind die Fake-Bilder in der Beschreibung.
Das Zimmer hatte kein Fenster. Bei Ankunft lief der Deckenventilator bei 28,7C. Die Klimaanlage konnte nur mit einer Fernbedienung von der Rezeption bedient werden. Ein Leihhandtuch kostete 5SGD. Die Matratzen waren extrem hart. Dusche und Toiletten waren heruntergekommen und dreckig. Wenn einer duscht, läuft das Wasser zu dem, der auf der Toilette sitzt. Lassen sie sich nicht von den Bildern täuschen. So sah es nie aus und wird es auch nie aussehen. Bei den Fotos handelt es sich um eine Täuschung. Bitte nicht hier absteigen, sondern woanders mehr bezahlen. Durch diese Unterkunft hat Singapur ein schlechtes Image bei mit bekommen.
- khalequzzaman (6/5): - Good
- Debora (7/5): -
- Carlos (7/5): -
- Yvonne (6/5): - Das Hostel lag sehr praktisch. Man kommt gut zum Bus und man hat gleich vor der Tür mehrere Food Courts gut günstiges Essen. Man kommt auch super nach Little India. Man muss 2 Dollar bezahlen für ein Einweg-Handtuch (verrückt, dass es so etwas überhaupt gibt! Nicht sehr nachhaltig.) und ganze 5 Dollar für ein richtiges Handtuch - zum Leihen, nicht kaufen.
Das Zimmer hatte kein Fenster und schlechte Luft. Die Klimaanlage konnte man nur kompliziert über eine Fernsteuerung steuern, die man extra ausleihen musste.
- Anonymous (8/5): Clean hostel room with bunk beds - Self-check-in process was smooth and convenient. The property was very clean, and the bed and sheets were comfortable. The location was excellent - being close to nearby MRT stations and easy to access. The lack of an elevator was inconvenient, as the check in was 1 story up and rooms were 2 stories up. The air conditioning was a bit strong, making the room quite cold. Additionally, climbing to the top bunk was difficult.

- xiaolin (5/5): 离谱 - 位置很好就在地铁站旁边,楼下几家小吃部开门很早,可以吃早餐。 我被臭虫咬了。
床单只是昨天睡过简单又叠一下,上面还有黄色的污渍。还有上一任住客细软的黄发。
要是几十的青旅我都不会这么生气,302rmb。中国过国庆节把这边酒店都吃撑了。
而且没有电梯,楼梯特别陡,要走好几层。
招牌也没有,只在楼下面有个涂鸦。大晚上要不是小吃部的小哥指路根本找不到门口。

- Ben Heisyer Joses (10/5): -
- JIAN PING (4/5): 让人失望的 - 工作人员非常敷衍
没有电梯
洗澡没有热水
在房间里面,其他人很吵
- JIAN PING (7/5): Bad - 不会再住,最开始因为行李太多了,选择这家价格比较便宜的旅社,后面搬东西比较麻烦,所以在这里住了好几天,但是感觉很一般。员工很敷衍,让人感觉不好。没有电梯,如果有很多行李不建议住,洗澡没有热水,床上没有任何遮掩,非常一般建议选择其他酒店
- JIAN PING (4/5): Bad - 非常差
- Yanire (8/5): - Buena zona No había ventanas en la habitación pero no era prioritario
- Kelly (9/5): - L’emplacement
Équipements simples et efficaces
Propre
Rapport qualité prix
- María Dolores (9/5): - El hostel más limpio en el que he estado. Muy cómoda la cama.
Te dejan toalla y adaptador de enchufe pagando solo 2$ de fianza por cada uno.

- Marie Chris (7/5): -
- Hong (1/5): -
- H.A. Lakshan (9/5): -
- hamad (7/5): -
- Giulia (4/5): Soggiorno da incubo - Posizione comoda vicino a diversi mezzi di trasporto, supermercati e ristoranti che accettano carte di credito (ci sono diverse food court che non le accettano ma andando in direzione della stazione Lavender troverete di tutto).
All’arrivo la camera era gelata, ma in reception si può chiedere il telecomando dell’aria condizionata per regolare temperatura e velocità, da restituire dopo l’uso. Sempre in reception, fontanelle dell’acqua, microonde e altri servizi. Non vengono forniti asciugamani.
I bagni comuni già al mattino presto sono allagati, sporchi e pieni di capelli (nonostante l’uso corretto degli altri ospiti, non è possibile mantenerli asciutti e quindi diventano pantano).
La camera per 4 persone è microscopica (spazio giusto per 2 letti a castello ed una persona in piedi per volta). Prezzo basso per Singapore, ma alto per i servizi offerti.
Se si è al piano superiore, bisogna fare quattro rampe di scale.
- Abuzar (7/5): - I love the self-service check-in machine and key lock self-service Smell from coffee shop below the hostel, thin bed and pillow
- 27 (7/5): - I liked the restroom there, they are clean for a shared hotel The broken toilets in the male bathroom and the internet that barely connects upstairs
Not your fault but the people that we shared the room with snore very loud
- jeanne (8/5): -
- ana (3/5): - Situacioʻn La limpieza de las instalaciones es muy deficiente o no existe.
- abdelkarim (7/5): -
- Pregadhees (8/5): I really felt comfortable staying there as there were food stalls literally below the building - I felt comfortable for what I paid for, believe me it felt good and I was amused by the self check in
- Melina (1/5): Sale et inconfortable. - Tous.
- Cristiano (3/5): -
- Julia (7/5): Guten Preis-Leistungsverhältnis für ein zentrales Hostel - Gute Lage, sehr guter Preis für Singapur
Insgesamt erfüllt es seinen Zweck, liegt nah a Little India und dem Arabischen Quarter, Bushaltestelle in 2 min. , MRT IN 5-7 min. zu Fuß zu erreichen.
Personal sehr nett.
Kleine Küche neben der Rezeption für heißes Wasser etc.
Foodcorner direkt unter dem Hostel, Tempel gegenüber.
4-Bettzimmer mit 2 Doppelstockbetten hatte Fenster. Bäder teilweise nicht sehr sauber.
Aber nicht zu vergessen, es ist ein Hostel (mit Gemeinschafsbad) und kein Hotel.

Parecía que no lo limpiaban nunca. Los seguros de las puertas no funcionaba, los de la recepción tenían un pésimo trato y hasta nos amenazaron que si perdíamos la llave nos cobrarían 50 dólares y los colchones muy duros
- Muhammad Talha (6/5): -
- Thomas (8/5): It was good - The price of the bed Policy for people shouting passed midnight in the corridors. Secondly toilets must be cleaned atleast every after 3 hours.
