Pros: Centrally located, close to amenities, train station and bus stops. Place is clean and affordable launderette. Cons: Located at 4th floors without lift so may need to consider if you have big and heavy luggage. Check-in time is limited to stipulated couple of hours so do check your arrival time. Air-condition to the room are also in stipulated time, from evening to mornings only. Luggage storage is only available on day of check in/out, beyond that it's chargable.

Saw roaches crawling on my bed the first hour I was there. I didn’t sleep in my bed the first night. Requested a sheet & pillow change and she did. Kept my lights on 24/7 & sprayed bug spray on my bed to prevent anything else from crawling on there.

セブンイレブンが建物の目の前にあり、クラーク・キーの近くなのでレストランも周りに沢山あり立地は良い。 ただ、ホステルは4階にありエレベータが無いので大荷物の人は階段を上がるのが大変だと思う。 スタッフは親切でフレンドリーだったし、部屋も古いけど清潔感があったので居心地は良かった。 エアコンの効きもGood

Kann ich weiterempfehlen

Ich mochte den Aufenthalt dort. Mit Navi konnte man es leicht finden. Einfach an der grünen Station Raffles Place aussteigen und am Fluss entlang gehen. Die Räume sind sauber, und sehr kühl. Es riecht einwenig modrig, aber schimmel hatte ich keinen gesehen. Unisex Toiletten und Duschkabinen. Alles ist sehr gemeinschaftlich, also hat man die meiste Privatsphäre im Zimmer, auf seinem Bett mit Vorhang. Die Bettnummer wird dir gezeigt, und es gibt ein extra Schuhfach, da innen keine Schuhe getragen werden, und Badeslipper im Bad Bereich.

最差的入住經驗

淋浴和洗手間各只有三間，髒，長期有螞蟻，偶有小蟑螂。廁所有異味。淋浴間的垃圾從不清理。床單有乾掉洗不掉的血跡。薄被不清洗。 公共空間越夜越吵鬧，凌晨仍大聲喧嘩。早上十點要退房，不是十一點。 入住期間跳電三次。職員服務態度差，愛理不理。 唯一優點是地理位置方便。 這次入住經驗完全影響旅遊心情，是住過的旅館中最差的一間。

Clean cozy little hostel. Free breakfast and decent beds. The wifi is super slow and doesn't really reach the further rooms. Probably the only downside. Also FYI, there isn't a lift up to their level (4th floor)

Great location. Across from Clark Quay metr Center

Location fantastic. Clarke Quay MRT 5 min. Walk to Clarke Quay dancing and clubs. 6-8 minutes. Safe even 2 am. Walk to Chinatown. Walk to Raffles place and MRT 10 min. Service was ok. Must enter bare feet. Not even with slippers but socks ok. Breakfast mainly bread and jam or with a banana. PC Internet available and good. Sinks are in breakfast/function room so no privacy. Overall because of location nothing else beats it for price and I will stay there again.The closest capsule/pods hostels are almost double cost and Boat Quay location is not as convenient. Visit Gardens by the Bay, light show is amazing, direct Lavender MRT line. And near it the Marina Sands Mall dancing fountains is spectacular.

Creepy male employee

Location is great. Place is clean. However the one staff member who lives there full time was extremely rude and creepy. I stayed for a week so I was able to see how uncomfortable he makes people feel. He treats the place as his home and everyone who stays there is an invader. First day I stayed there he removed me bag from the room while I was out and refused to acknowledge that fact. After that I just avoided him however I saw how he would walk into the room throughout the day (I stayed in the 14 person dorm) and he would look around and walk back out. I saw this happen at 6am one morning while most people in the room were asleep. This was beyond creepy. He would do this throughout the day. I saw him follow a guest into the shower/toilet area telling him he smelled bad and said “do you need me to show you how to wash yourself?” This is rude and creepy.He said this out loud in front of other guests which is disrespectful towards this guest.I asked to leave and tried to get a refund but the management refused and said I could check out early but I would not get my money back.So I stayed for the whole week but could not wait to leave as I felt so uncomfortable around this one employee. When I did finally leave,this employee stood at the doorway as I was out in the hall pitting my shoes on. He stood there until I left.For what reason he had to watch me I don’t know but it just reinforced how creepy it was to stay here.To be fair, the rest of the staff were good and it’s clean.
