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.

Great stay for solo travelers on a budget, only critique i would have is they turn off a/c units during the day in rooms ,if power consumption is the reason i would adjust prices to balance cost,great staff though

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.

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)

I want to watch TV and ask the staff whether I can open it. However, the staff told me that if I open the TV we can't use wifi anymore!!!
Eventually, no TV watching and no wifi signal after 11 pm
No air con in room during daytime and weak air con in common area

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.

Great cheap hostel close to everything

Terrific location at Hong Kong Street, just in the Clarke Quay area (metro station, shopping mall, restaurants, bars, and more). Merlion Park, Chinatown, City Hall, Orchard Road, and SMU are in walking distance. You will be welcome at the counter with water first then do the check-in things. Staffs are more than friendly. Breakfast is simple but enough to get energy. Wifi is okay. And you can leave your luggage in the hostel if you have a late flight after check-out time. The rate is also very affordable and reasonable. I think the only drawback would be the stairs - there is no elevator so you will need to climb to the 4th floor. Other than that, everything is perfect. I think I will stay here again for sure if I come again.

OK Place to Stay for its Price

Was pretty cash-strapped, so decided maybe time to try an Inn or Hosted. For its price, nothing to complain.

Nice hotel close Clarke Quay

You can drop your baggage there even after checking out, so you can have a nice day exploring singapkre before your flight. Also, they provide bread and jam as their free breakfast. It's from 6-12pm. Anyway, free drinks are available whole day. For me, it has no difference between 14 people room and 10 people room, so I suggest traveller to book for 14 people room to save cost.
