"Cons:
1️⃣ Be mentally prepared, the bunk beds are really, really small, with no space to put your belongings. If you're over 170cm tall, your feet will stick out of the bed curtain.
2️⃣ The quality of roommates is random. On my second night, one roommate was still on the phone in the early hours of the morning.
3️⃣ There was a sweaty odor in the room, perhaps a lingering smell from the renovation?
4️⃣ I suspect the bedding wasn't clean; my legs were covered in bites, and they weren't mosquito bites.
5️⃣ The women's restroom occasionally requires queuing.
Pros:
1️⃣ Excellent location, about a 400-meter walk from two subway stations, and very close to major attractions.
2️⃣ Staff service attitude is good.
3️⃣ Many guests are Chinese, so you can chat with them.
4️⃣ Cotton swabs, earplugs, toothbrushes, and toothpaste are provided free of charge, but you need to bring your own slippers, otherwise, you'll have to pay 2 SGD for a pair of 'couple' slippers."
