Xuewen Singapore

Such a great hostel for solo travel for a few days. Everything was clean, housekeeping was quiet in the mornings, plenty of outlets, showers, and bathrooms. Kitchen had plenty of fridge/cabinet space in Late July. Lots of pans and utensils -- There was a free box for food but a peeler, can opener, and cooking oil would've been great to not have to purchase! The hostel was very quiet in the evenings if the window was kept shut. Location couldn't be beat! Right around the corner from the train station and short walk to basically everything else.

Catherine United States of America

Great location. Friendly staff. Good facilities. Plenty of toilets and showers to make sure no one has to wait in line for them.

Shani Israel

Excellent location, clean, well equipped, nice kitchen and common area. Plenty of showers and bathrooms.
