United KingdomCalm, clean, central location which is a big bonus. It is of good price compared to other hostels of same quality.
CanadaLocation, staff, kitchen amenities, and complimentary breakfast! The room was clean and warm enough even there was a big snow storm when we’re there. The ensuite shared bathroom was a plus as we don’t need to step outside the room in the cold. Staff were very friendly and helpful. There’s a big shared kitchen with a complete kitchen amenities which was very helpful for those who want to cook their own meals. But, if you won’t bother with cooking, don’t worry, there’s complimentary breakfast (coffee, breads, cereals)! The hostel was very close to downtown, providing easy access to restaurants, groceries, and tour pick-up points!

SingaporeStaff was super helpful. Excellent location. Onsite parking.
