"Excellent hostel! Several metro stations are conveniently located within a 5-10 minute walk.
Marina Bay and Chinatown are easily reachable on foot, which I did every evening. There are also at least 3 food courts nearby with prices starting from $5. I ate at two of them – delicious and cheap, with a huge selection of dishes, including Thai and Chinese cuisine.
The staff (three guys) are very friendly and helpful with everything, from giving advice on where to go to what to try.
In the kitchen, tea, 3-in-1 coffee, and sugar are available for free 24/7. There's a microwave, kettle, and a water cooler where you can fill your own bottle and avoid buying water from 7/11. There's also a small fridge if you have leftovers or bought something for breakfast in advance.
The hostel's breakfast is modest, but it's great that it's even included for the price of accommodation – 3 types of cereal, 3 types of milk (regular, chocolate, soy), toast (white and wholemeal bread), and toppings (2 kinds of jam, chocolate spread, peanut butter, and something else). In short, everyone will find something to their liking.
Now for the cons:
There's only one hairdryer in the female shower room, and it's not working.
Your luggage, both large and carry-on, won't fit into the lockers and will be left in the hallways throughout the hostel because there isn't a separate luggage storage room.
The hostel entrance isn't time-restricted, so people can check in or return from outings at 2 or 3 AM, which is disruptive and will wake everyone in the room.
Overall, the downsides are minor. If I have the chance to visit Singapore again, I will definitely choose this hostel ❤️"
