Positive: Very friendly and generous staff!

Negative: You have to make your own bed, which was unexpected. The lack of privacy curtains was a major downside for me. The doors creaked loudly every time someone opened them and the hallway light stayed on all night, making it difficult to sleep. The breakfast was disappointing and lacked variety.

Summary: Wouldnt reccomend

Positive: Nice place, not far from downtown. You can take bus #33 (single fare 2$) or MRT to get everywhere. I used 3-day tourist pass, so no problem. Many local restaurants in area (not overpriced like in DT). Stuff was super friendly and very helpfull. I got best tips, how to get to Malaysia or what to do in SG. Common area is available to late night without problems. Typical hostel rooms, not the capsule system, so You can meet and talk to other guests.

Summary: Nice place to stay
