Location was really great. In the heart of CBD. My room was really spacious, and has a good view of the city in the balcony. In general, the place was really clean too.

Ofaleine Australia

Got upgraded to a room with ensuite bathroom. So that was nice.

Boon Singapore

spacious common areas, bed was comfy, cheap stay, and it's being cleaned everyday!

Danne Australia

Had very nearly booked another hostel, very glad I didn't met some incredible people and couldn't fault the level of cleanliness, fresh linen etc. Plus the plug in the lockers are great for charging drone batteries while I was out. The main strip was only a 5 minute walk away yet the area was quite enough so slept wonderfully. Staff and everyone there where very friendly. --ALSO The free pancakes--
