Liked: It was the least expensive option we could find in Singapore.

Disliked: It was not very clean or organized. There was a lot of random clutter laying around and the shower area wasn't very clean. The place feels cramped, like they are trying to fit as many people in to make as much money as possible. The owner wasn't helpful or friendly. We didn't know it, but apparently alcohol is not allowed. We were reading and drinking a bottle of wine one night and got into trouble.

Liked: Free internet, free massage chair. Breakfast (= toast, jam and nutella) included.

Disliked: crowded, staff was neither friendly nor helpfull at check-in. The entrance to the hostel stank (I suspects cat droppings). It's not exactly a bad place for a couple of nights, but the claims made in the description of the hostel simply paint too good a picture...

Liked: the friendliness of the staff, very good location that is very near to Aljunied MRT Station. it is the same MRT line to changi airport, and for muslims looking for halal food, there is one indian muslim restaurant very near to it. there is also 7-eleven shop nearby.

Disliked: sometimes its look something like 'mess'..but it's ok for the cheap hostel..and once you book this hostel, please add yourself 10% from the balance, because it's something like 'hidden' cost..

Liked: The location was convenient - only about 20 min MRT ride to City Hall, and easily-accessible once I figured out where it was exactly. It is also close to a small fruit market and various restos that sell local dishes. Also, the ladies who run the place are very kind and patient, and really made me feel at home. I thought it was quite clean overall in the place.

Disliked: Nothing to complain about.
