    “No shoes allowed, so it's clean, but there are some areas where the facilities are a bit old.”

    ○ Pros ① It's clean because shoes are not allowed. ② The location is good, about a 5-minute walk from the subway station Clarke Quay. ③ They can store your luggage until around 8 PM even after checkout. ○ Cons ① The room's air conditioning can only be turned on after 9 PM, making it too hot for people who spend their days in the room. ② The curtains are not fully closed and have gaps, so privacy is not as maintained compared to newer hostels. (The facilities are somewhat old.) Overall, I think there are no issues as you can stay this cheaply in expensive Singapore.

    “An Absolute Gem of a Hostel”

    I had an amazing stay at this hostel! The staff were incredibly friendly and always ready to help with anything I needed. The rooms were spotless, the beds were super comfortable, and the atmosphere was fantastic—perfect for meeting fellow travelers. The common areas were well-designed and cozy, making it easy to relax or get some work done. Plus, the location was ideal, close to public transport, great restaurants, and major attractions. The breakfast was a great bonus, and the overall vibe of the place was warm and welcoming. I can’t recommend this place enough—definitely one of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed in! Would 100% stay here again.
