    Not a bad cheap stay.

    rating19 Jan 2022

    I ended up staying here for 7 nights. The room was adequate with coffee, tea and water daily. The shared bathrooms are fine and the laundry is very handy to do your washing and drying. Location is good and staff are all friendly. A good budget choice in Singapore.

    Expected service from a backpacker’s lodging

    rating05 Oct 2019

    We stayed in a private room and with shared bathroom. Bathrooms are clean despite it being shared. Shampoo and shower creams were provided. Water heater and sachets of coffee and tea was provided in the room but we didn’t get any refills for the coffees and teas (it would’ve been nicer if we did). Clean linen and towels when we came in. That was a plus point. Tv was provided as well but don’t expect to watch any channels cause apparently there isn’t any and that the tv was for display only. Breakfast was provided. In my opinion, the breakfast spread was decent and as expected. On the other hand, it definitely is not the place to stay if you have little children or if you are a light sleeper cause it can be really noisy at night cause of the pubs and bars around. Free wifi is available. Very near to Chinatown MRT and People’s park. A handful of 7 Elevens around for some late night snacking. McDonalds is also just around the corner.I’ve stayed here twice this year, the facilities are sufficient enough for me.

    Good, cheap and convenient location

    rating24 Sept 2019

    Good location, close to lots of bars and restaurants in Chinatown. Really close to Chinatown MRT station and walking distance (20-30 mins) to gardens by the bay, marina bay and downtown etc.Hotel itself is good for the price, the room we had was small but it was a really good use of space (the double bunk bed type thing above a living space with a sofa and kettle etc). Air con was a life saver in Singapore heat! Room was a little tired, stains on the wall and a small patch of damp behind the sofa. Also there was a funny smell, which didn’t go away at all during our stay, I think is due to lack of air - the window does not open and as the room is so small I guess with 2 people staying in it it builds up a bit of a smell. But, good for the price. I probably wouldn’t stay again however (due to the smell), though I would maybe try the Galaxy Pods next door which is owned by the same people. The hotel was full (Singapore GP weekend) so I didn’t ask for another room as they wouldn’t have been able to give us one.We walked past one of the other double rooms (bigger without the bunk bed thing) and it looked a bit more modern so my advice would be book one of those!Communal areas were clean but a little tired, one of the sliding bathroom doors was a little temperamental but I made sure I used the other one. Washing and drying facilities for clothes available. Breakfast basic but fine given it is free, good to have a cuppa and some Kaya toast in the morning.

    By far the worst place I've ever seen

    rating26 Nov 2018

    Got to this hostel type place, whereby clerk really couldn't understand English, very hard to communicate with.After seeing room walking up a flight of steps below code, I went into room noticed AC was not working properly and TV had "no signal", saw the bathroom area, which looked like it hadn't been cleaned in months, I immediately went on a nearby search for another place to stay. I came back within an hour telling a new crew that I wanted my reservation cancelled. Staff came up and got ac working and switched a box of some sort to only see movies or TV shows, I attempted to make it work BUT after trying to see the same movie 2 separate times since it just stopped working, I was done.Gave me a partial refund. Beware of this place, its dreadful!!
