Great condition, cleanliness and friendly staff.
Excellent value for money.
Stayed 1 night in the large shared room, and it was perfect; quiet and even with a lot of guests the shared spaces like bathroom and ahowera were kept very nice and neat. They even offer amenities like toothbrush, comb, shampoo etc.

Loved the complimentary breakfast. Great location. Clean rooms and showers/toilets. Nice staff. The beds are nice, I slept well. Only issue was the ladder leading up to the top bunk. It’s a bit narrow and tricky to climb up and out of the bed. I was scared I was going to fall off several times.

Very lovely new hostel in Singapore. Stayed at many hostels before but this probably stands out a lot because it offers a plentiful breakfast and has free toiletries.
The capsule itself gets a little stuffy if the blinds are down but they provide a small fan in the capsule which is really thoughtful. Highly recommend this hostel, will be back real soon...

nice more upscale hostel in the Chinatown area. prime location, easy to get around. good for couples. shared bathrooms and dorms. have seperate female showers and bathrooms. good amenities in the showers. say they clean rooms once per day, but ours wasn't cleaned. I'm past my hostel days, but wanted my GF to have the experience. nice that they offer daily breakfast. clean rooms and bathrooms. seems like an older crowd as well.

Breakfast is good. The location is fantastic. The hostel itself is meh. It is relatively new and clean, but:
- for women, there are 2 toilets, 2 showers, 2 toilet + shower + sink and 1 sink. So if 3 sinks are busy, you will wait to simply brush your teeth
- shoes are not allowed in the rooms, but slippers are not provided. I had to walk in my socks and bathroom was wet
- I had the top bunk bed and getting there was a challenge so was getting out of there.
Overall, the experience was okay, but I wouldn’t stay there again

It is RM290 per night for a queen size bed capsule. The sharing-room is very small but accommodate 6 capsules which is very unreasonable, cannot even move around and talk freely. The air-conditioning and the ventilation are poor. Not a comfortable stay and not a value for money. Even though the location is good, will definitely prefer to spend RM450 to stay at airbnb with 2 queen size beds

Initially stayed for 3 nights in 101-6, then added one more night.
The dorms are compact as would be expected in Singapore. The bunks arrayed both sides of the walls. On one side lengthwise and breadthwise on the other. My bunk 101-6 which was breadthwise and preferable as it let in less light.
Each bunk had a locker that could fit two small suitcases, a privacy curtain, a private light, two electrical sockets. The bed had a firm mattress and a warm duvet.
There were 4 shared bathrooms & toilets, which didn't sound like a lot with about 20 bunks, but there was no wait for me except late in the evening. The free breakfast was excellent, varied and was different all 4 days.
The only negatives were the Wifi, which dropped intermittently in the dorm, but fine elsewhere. The dorm door was often left open and one morning a false fire alarm went off at 6am.
Overall, I had a good stay. The staff are friendly and welcoming. The bed is comfortable and the location is close to Chinatown & MRT.

Fräscha sängar och rum, toalett och dusch var välstädade, frukosten simpel men välgjord (tofu, ägg, nudlar, toast och pålägg). Personal trevlig. Störst problem var andra gäster som var respektlösa o talade högt i telefon i rummet till sent samt använde hårtork sent etc…Det finns två toaletter och två duschar per rum, så finns risk för väntan på kvällen när alla vill duscha.
Läget är väldigt bra, finns även lite sällskapsspel och annat i hostelet. För priset så är det helt klart ett värt ställe att bo på. Skulle absolut komma tbx hit igen.

La cama es cómoda y estaba limpia. El desayuno básico pero suficiente. Faltan baños y duchas eso sí. La ubicación es muy buena en el barrio de Chinatown.
