sehr gute Lage,abseits des Entertainment-Tourismus
sehr gut erreichbar über MRT Farrer Park. Sauberes und sehr gut geführtes Hostel. Sehr engagiertes und sympathisches Personal.
Einziger Knackpunkt: die Hauptstraße war im 10-Bed-Dorm sehr laut hörbar ...
Ansonsten super Frühstück mit Toast, Coffee, Tea, Jam + Nutella included.

Friendly staff and comfortable hostel, good for backpackers or solo travellers. The only cons is the numbers of bathrooms for the number of guests. You will have to planned or wait before going to shower/toilets. The hostel has a good social area to meet and discuss with the other guests. It also has a good location not too far from MRT station and Little India district for shopping.

Reasonable Price
Location is easy to be found. Staff are nice.
Booked the mixed dorm (double-decker bed, upper one) and there was only one movable ladder for 6 beds... should provide more movable ladder...

가성비 짱!
싱가포르에서 저정도 가격선에선 가성비가 좋은 곳이라 생각되구요. 아쉬운점은 화장실 시설이 조금 열악하다고 느낄수있어요. 그 외는 청소도 깔끔히해서 깨끗하구요. 위치는 밤이 되면 조용하구요, 근처역까지 10분걸려서 좋아요. 그리고 로비에 있는 커피나 잉글랜드티는 꽁짜라 좋네요. 되도록이면 물은 호스텔에서 큰 거 사시는게 편해요(편의점이 더 비싸요.) 주변에 호커센터가 있어서 밥값도 2.5~3.5$ 선에서 해결 할 수 있어요. 가난한 배낭여행객에게 치명적인 물가인 나라 싱가포르에서 머물기에는 안 좋을 수가 없네요.

On a Busy road
My honest opinion, location was ok, 10min walk from the metro.
Customer service was good.The dorm of 12 was a huge room. The bed was hard,one ladder for everyone to climb to top bunker,Air condition and small lockers in the room. Breakfast included with a big dinning table. WiFi was fast. Only 2 toilets and 2 showers for entire place and clean once a day. 2 spare PC to use with keylogger software installed.
