Clean cozy little hostel. Free breakfast and decent beds. The wifi is super slow and doesn't really reach the further rooms. Probably the only downside. Also FYI, there isn't a lift up to their level (4th floor)

Great location. Across from Clark Quay metr Center
Location fantastic. Clarke Quay MRT 5 min. Walk to Clarke Quay dancing and clubs. 6-8 minutes. Safe even 2 am. Walk to Chinatown. Walk to Raffles place and MRT 10 min. Service was ok. Must enter bare feet. Not even with slippers but socks ok. Breakfast mainly bread and jam or with a banana. PC Internet available and good. Sinks are in breakfast/function room so no privacy. Overall because of location nothing else beats it for price and I will stay there again.The closest capsule/pods hostels are almost double cost and Boat Quay location is not as convenient. Visit Gardens by the Bay, light show is amazing, direct Lavender MRT line. And near it the Marina Sands Mall dancing fountains is spectacular.

Creepy male employee
Location is great. Place is clean. However the one staff member who lives there full time was extremely rude and creepy. I stayed for a week so I was able to see how uncomfortable he makes people feel. He treats the place as his home and everyone who stays there is an invader. First day I stayed there he removed me bag from the room while I was out and refused to acknowledge that fact. After that I just avoided him however I saw how he would walk into the room throughout the day (I stayed in the 14 person dorm) and he would look around and walk back out. I saw this happen at 6am one morning while most people in the room were asleep. This was beyond creepy. He would do this throughout the day. I saw him follow a guest into the shower/toilet area telling him he smelled bad and said “do you need me to show you how to wash yourself?” This is rude and creepy.He said this out loud in front of other guests which is disrespectful towards this guest.I asked to leave and tried to get a refund but the management refused and said I could check out early but I would not get my money back.So I stayed for the whole week but could not wait to leave as I felt so uncomfortable around this one employee. When I did finally leave,this employee stood at the doorway as I was out in the hall pitting my shoes on. He stood there until I left.For what reason he had to watch me I don’t know but it just reinforced how creepy it was to stay here.To be fair, the rest of the staff were good and it’s clean.

Great cheap hostel close to everything
Terrific location at Hong Kong Street, just in the Clarke Quay area (metro station, shopping mall, restaurants, bars, and more). Merlion Park, Chinatown, City Hall, Orchard Road, and SMU are in walking distance. You will be welcome at the counter with water first then do the check-in things. Staffs are more than friendly. Breakfast is simple but enough to get energy. Wifi is okay. And you can leave your luggage in the hostel if you have a late flight after check-out time. The rate is also very affordable and reasonable. I think the only drawback would be the stairs - there is no elevator so you will need to climb to the 4th floor. Other than that, everything is perfect. I think I will stay here again for sure if I come again.

OK Place to Stay for its Price
Was pretty cash-strapped, so decided maybe time to try an Inn or Hosted. For its price, nothing to complain.

Nice hotel close Clarke Quay
You can drop your baggage there even after checking out, so you can have a nice day exploring singapkre before your flight. Also, they provide bread and jam as their free breakfast. It's from 6-12pm. Anyway, free drinks are available whole day. For me, it has no difference between 14 people room and 10 people room, so I suggest traveller to book for 14 people room to save cost.

2/10 Poor

Place to avoid
Good: - close to transportation, central location, clean floors, clean bathrooms Bad things: - Their dorm does not look like the one on the pictures. The real one is divided in two rooms and cramped with beds. Other dorms are boxes without any windows. - Stench is horrible. They turn off the AC during the day, maybe that's the reason, but aside of stinky inside, outside of the hostel smells too. Thats because the floor above is FightClub Gym and it smells like locker. - FightClub Gym above starts at 7am and they bang their weights on the top of your head. They finish around 10:30pm with yelling and more banging. Everything shakes on the hostel floor... - WiFi is horrible and you'll need to reconnect few times per day. - Girls that work in hostel will ignore you as much as they can. Very unhelpful. I had to stay somewhere else because I could not stand this place any more. Next hostel was like heaven...

Great hostel! Bad wifi and Bad air conditioning!
My stay was a great one. It was very clean. They cleaned the floors every day. No shoes allowed. It was very organized. The staff was very helpful. With every place there are cons. I think the four most important things staying anywhere are air conditioning, wifi, safety and cleanliness. This was definitely a very safe and clean hostel. I loved feeling at ease. I really did NOT like when they would turn off the air conditioner in the bedroom at certain times. They also advertise that the wifi has a strong signal. That is not true. The wifi in the bedroom would not work at all. If there were a lot of people on the wifi network, it too would not work in the common space. It would lag a lot. Other than that, it was very pleasant. I enjoyed it very much.

Kann ich weiterempfehlen
Ich mochte den Aufenthalt dort. Mit Navi konnte man es leicht finden. Einfach an der grünen Station Raffles Place aussteigen und am Fluss entlang gehen. Die Räume sind sauber, und sehr kühl. Es riecht einwenig modrig, aber schimmel hatte ich keinen gesehen. Unisex Toiletten und Duschkabinen. Alles ist sehr gemeinschaftlich, also hat man die meiste Privatsphäre im Zimmer, auf seinem Bett mit Vorhang. Die Bettnummer wird dir gezeigt, und es gibt ein extra Schuhfach, da innen keine Schuhe getragen werden, und Badeslipper im Bad Bereich.
