Guest Reviews
- Diana (5/5): - You have all what you need I had a bed in front of the street on level 2, all the noise from outside you can hear that whole night.
- Diana (8/5): -
- Nicholas (8/5): -
- RIA (8/5): - The location is very near to everything you need. Very near to MRT as well. Make sure that when you exit the MRT use Exit A. It would be nice if the outlet was universal. So if you are from PH, make sure to buy an adapter upon arrival.

- Jayjay Koevermans (6/5): Ik zou niet terug gaan - De locatie Er stond dat je handdoeken kon huren stond op de site, maar bij aankomst bleek dat ze op waren. We konden zelf een stukje verderop die handdoeken kopen. Verder was alles net niet goed schoon, behalve de kamers.

- Alex (7/5): Good value but could be better - Good location, good value and friendly receptionist Not the cleanest; loads of dust under the beds that sticks to your bags and the bathrooms and showers needed a deep clean

- palacios (4/5): N y aller pas si vous avez un Check in tardif… sinon emplacement super - L emplacement est super, casier dans les chambres pour les affaires Par contre gros problème pour le Check in. C est une machine automatique au delà de 6:pm sauf que quand je suis arrivé à 2:am cela m’a dit chambre pas prête . Impossible de récupérer les clés sur l’automate, heureusement que une personne était réveillé par miracle est j ai pu dormir « clandestinement » dans un lit disponible. Le contact en cas de problème n était pas du tout réactif donc j aurai attendu sûrement la sans chambre une bonne partie de la nuit… très désagréable quand tu arrives fatigué après un long vol.
Aussi toutes les portes des toillettes de ferment pas. Et pas de rideau dans les dortoirs pour l intimité.

- Shinde (6/5): -
- GABRIEL AGUSTIN (8/5): - Location Dont privacy in the room but its okay will be good a curtain for bed
- Daniele (8/5): Ok - the location is very good, you can walk almost everywhere, a lot of food courts around an the metro is 5 minutes away the new electronic check in system, is overcomplicated, some data where missing in the system and wait the staff to solve it, many people were having the same problem, and it is always better to have somebody to welcome you rather than a machine
- Florent (7/5): -
- Salcedo (9/5): Im totally happy! - The Staff specially Zaw was ho helpful and very kind has good personality assisting all people during our stay, he demonstrated a well trained kind customer oriented staff and did extra mile during our stay. there was only few but not the hotel or the staff.
- Sharon (9/5): -
- Can (1/5): Kesinlikle tavsiye etmiyorum - Pis ve oldukça ufak bir yer Duş çok dar ve pis
- Marie (1/5): Never again - 👎 If you're a woman, for your own safety and peace of mind please don't go there!
Even if you ask for a female only dorm, it they're full book they're gonna put you in a "mixed" dorm anyway and guess what, it was a "mixed" room just because of my presence, 9 men and me, LOL! That's not okay!!! Of course there was no warning about that situation, I learned it by myself through the night, when I could just witness more and more men coming in the room, and starting at me.
Even on my arrival,, when we went to the room with the staff guy, one guest guy was chilling just wearing his underwear and the staff said nothing, even when I said it was not ok. Then, most of men were coming from the shower just wearing their towel, wtf.
When I asked to be moved to a least a proper mixed room, i was told that couldnt be because "the computer choses which room", and the hostel was fully booked. I don't care, just make it really mixed and not an horror movie for a woman solo. Balance the sht idk. I've been sleeping in hostel since 10-15 years, never been in such a horrorful situation, without warning, with a staff who couldn't care less. I couldn't sleep the first night, and left right away the day after because they couldn't put me in a real mixed room. Of course they didn't want to reimburse me, "cause the computer choses the room".
Maybe it's because the only staff I get to spoke too was men, so they couldn't see my problem, ofc.
So anyway, fun times! (also dirty bathrooms, but this I can manage).
- Satu (7/5): Loistavan siisti budjettimajoitus - Rucksack oli riittävä yhden yön nukkumiseen. Vuoteet olivat puhtaat, huone kompaktin kokoinen. Ilmastointi toimi hyvin ja oli mukava bonus majoituksessa. Sijainti oli helpon matkan päässä, joskin yöllä oli taksi otettava matkan taittamiseksi. Kylpyhuoneet ja wc-tilat olivat ahtaita ja haisivat virtsalle. Tämä ei kuitenkaan kokemustamme pilannut.
- Oi Man Leo (8/5): -
- WANCHIEN (5/5): 位置絕佳,櫃檯人員熟練態度好服務好。淋浴間旁經常烘乾床單被子,非常熱。洗手間經常有垃圾、馬桶骯髒、門鎖壞掉無法上鎖。住1-2天可以忍受,但這種環境我下次不敢再住。 - 位置、員工服務態度 淋浴間、洗手間
- Jonathan (9/5): -
- Tegan (8/5): Great central location with excellent showers - Fantastic location, in the centre of Chinatown and near the hawker centre and train. Great security for the door so feeling safe and incredibly hot amazing showers
- carla (5/5): -
- Travé (4/5): - Ubicación Limpieza y mucho ruido
- Jusila (7/5): - Not bad. Can sleep well.
- Daniel (7/5): - Super zentral und günstig. Kein Hotel im klassischen Sinn, aber dafür gutes Preis Leistungs Verhältnis. Freundlicher staff.
- Sugath milroy (10/5): -
- Ar (9/5): -
- SYED MUHAMMAD FAROOQ (8/5): - Location All was best
- Javier (3/5): MAL LUGAR. HAY MEJORES. - Lo unico bueno que puedo decir es que las camas estaban limpias. El colchón estaba bien también. Lo peor es que los lavabos, que son compartidos, y son mixtos (hombres y mujeres) están muy muy sucios. No hay personal limpiandolos. Son baños compartidos por muchas personas, deberia tener un servicio de limpieza casi constante, o al menos cada hora o cada dos horas. Creo que los limpian una vez al dia, asi que imaginad como están.
El check-in se hace con una máquina, ya que no hay absolutamente nadie a casi todas horas del dia. Viene alguien a recepcion por las tardes, pero nada más. Si tienes algun problema, no hay con quien solucionarlo.
No dan toallas, las alquilan. Cuando al fin encontramos al dia siguiente a alguien en recepción, quisimos alquilarla, y nos dijo que no le quedaban, que tenian que lavarlas, y que tardaría 3 o 4 dias. La solución que nos propuso es que compraramos unas. Al final nos vendió una especie de papeles para que nos secaramos. Hemos estado en otro establecimiento del mismo barrio (en la calle de al lado), precio similar, y, ademas de que entraba el desayuno (sencillo pero bueno), lo baños estaban limpios, y había alguien atendiendo. Muchisimo mejor.
- Katja (6/5): Lage schlägt fehlenden Komfort - Super Lage und dafür guter Preis.
Klimaanlage war angenehm.
Personal war keines sichtbar, haben am Automaten eingecheckt.
Bettzeug war vorhanden. Was uns nicht klar war ist, dass das Zimmer kein Fenster hat! Trotzdem haben wir erstaunlich gut geschlafen.
- Noeliche (7/5): - Éramos una familia de 8 en una habitación con 4 literas. El tamaño de la habitación justo, aunque había espacio para guardar las maletas debajo de las camas. El personal fue bueno y nos facilito el check in y check out, nos guardaron las maletas. La zona común depende del día y de la higiene del resto de huéspedes. Podría estar un poco mejor es justita. La ubicación genial y la máquina de zumo de naranja en la puerta genial. También se agradece la fuente de agua. La habitación se podía aclimatar bien. Y el ambiente era bueno y respetuoso. Las zonas comunes podrían estar mejor cuidadas, algunas cosas necesitan arreglos. Para el precio que tiene se queda un poco justito, pero cumple perfectamente las necesidades.
- Isana (7/5): I recommend it due to the location, value for money and comfortable bed, despite the small room. - Location. Good quality, clean bedding. Small but comfortable room. Bathrooms need deep cleaning.
- Ryan (10/5): Best hostel for young travellers - The location is great, and the stuff is friendly. It is an easy self check in system. Nothing
- Ryan (9/5): -
- Mazo (9/5): -
- Giuliano (1/5): Struttura orribile. È un magazzino non un albergo - L’unica cosa positiva è la posizione Struttura orribile, camera microscopica, non più di 10 metri quadrati. Bagni in comune indecenti. I gabinetti sono talmente piccoli che quando ti siedi sbatti con le ginocchia nella porta. Il retro si affaccia su un vicolo abitato da centinaia di topi. 85€ a notte sono un furto! Non c’è nemmeno una finestra. Personale inesistente, nemmeno salutano.
- Toni (10/5): Exceptional -
- 2travelornot2travel (7/5): Great location and clean, but expensive - Location is fantastic, right in the middle of Chinatown and close to the metro. Rooms are clean and facilities are cleaned regularly as well. To get to the toilets you need a key to cross a hallway that is outside. Very cumbersome when you are with kids. Arrival with a terminal to check in was quite chaotic as the hall was filled with luggage.
- Abraham (8/5): Very good -
- Kang (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jay (2/5): Very poor - Location is great. Check in was smooth. Mold on the walls, extremely tiny bathrooms, everything was filthy.
- Ese (6/5): Room was comfortable and clean. Shower room and toilet small and not clean. - Location was perfect Shower room and toilet was dirty.
- Davenna (10/5): Wonderful stay, definitely will come back again - The staff was very courteous and helpful. He helped with the check in process and made the check out process went smoothly too.
The location is very convenient and lots of great food options. There's a lot of buses and easy to move around with a station that's sitting on 2 MRT lines.
24hr supermarket just 10-15 mins walk away.
Snack shop that opens till 1am just 2 mins walk.
- Dave (5/5): The new self check in system sometimes does not work! - Had a better room than last time. The mattress was more comfortable and it was quieter. The aircon and WiFi both work okay. The showers are perfect!
The location is perfect too. Close to good food at Chinatown hawkers. Close to MRT. The self check-in machine did not work and I was forced to sleep the first night on the concrete outside 😡 not impressed.
For anyone wanting to arrive outside the manned office check in hours DON'T STAY HERE! If the computer doesn't recognise you there is no place to sleep until the office staff arrive at 0900 the next morning.
The main lights in the rooms are very badly placed.
- Jubaer (8/5): Very good -
- Sent (8/5): Very good -
- Misia (9/5): Chilling and warm stay - So small but functional Small and a bit smelly
- Judy (6/5): Pleasant - Clean Rude staff
