No good
1) Roof of my bed was plastered with cardboards 2) Air-condition put at 17 celcius was caused water to leak 3) Day staff was always on mobile phone, uninterested to attend to customers Thus, making sleep uncomfortable.

2/10 Poor

Worse hostel ever..
Very very very terrible place. Strange smells and over-crowed rooms.Full of people from India and pakistan with full of their luggage bag inside the hostel. Shoes and slipper all over the place and full of bad smell. The bathroom is too small and again smelly. Sleeping in the overcrowded hostel is impossible due to the snoring of permanent guests and loud music from the bars and "massage" spa's in the neighborhood. The reception clerk useless. No daily cleaning and if you ask them to clean, they always said they dont clean and change the blanket daily.. Don't book here!!!!!! You will waste your money..

Good functioning stay. Easy access to metro
Had a fine stay there. Bathroom needs some ventilation. Can't poop without suffering the humid (and then smelly humid) rank of the bathroom. Otherwise, a good place to launch an exploration of Singapore.

horrible and disgusting stay
When we arrived the room which we actually booked was overbooked so that my boyfriend and I stayed separately for the first night and than we needed to move again for the second night. But the worst thing was -bed bugs- I think that says everything! My whole body was full of bed bugs bites after the stay in this hostel!!! I would definitely not recommend this hostel! It was terrible and dirty!
