Sheryl Wiffen

01 November 2008 Sheryl would recommend this property

Liked: Andrew is an amazing character and can assist with any questions on how to get anywhere, where to eat, what to see etc. He is skilled at translating names into beautiful calligraphy.His partner and staff are all wonderful and the whole place is spotless. Breakfast of tea/coffee and toast with jam is taken on the veranda and socializing here with other backpackers is essential. Andrews fathers amazing photos of old Singapore are on display and copies can be bought reasonably. Lockers are also available for valuables. Right in the centre of Chinatown your able to access the underground train system, buses or even a rickshaw but walking to the Quay is not far either.

Liked: Very clean and great location. Friendly owners. The only thing I recommend improving is for the owners to not come in and out of the dorm early in the morning. It wakes people up. Otherwise good hostel.

Customer review

27 September 2008 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Its location in Chinatown as it is very close to the city centre (and accomodation is super expensive in Singapore), and also being in Chinatown meant you gain that cultural experience. The owner is very friendly and loves to have a chat. I always saw the staff smiling. The sheets are clean and they provide you with a locker.

Leanne Rider

23 September 2008

Liked: There is no reception desk and you need to go in search of the owner if you have any questions. This hostel consists of two dorm rooms, a bathroom and a small area to make tea/coffee. Very basic but in a good location in chinatown. The six bed dorm was rather crammed.

26 August 2008 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Andrew and his wife were really helpful with any requests that I had. Andrew is a great source of knowledge for anything Singapore - esp around Chinatown. His staff were also helpful with reccommendations of places to eat. Location is great - just off food street in China town and near the one of the many shopping centres where you can eat at the Hawker centre for really cheap.
