Great condition, cleanliness and friendly staff. Excellent value for money. Stayed 1 night in the large shared room, and it was perfect; quiet and even with a lot of guests the shared spaces like bathroom and ahowera were kept very nice and neat. They even offer amenities like toothbrush, comb, shampoo etc.

Loved the complimentary breakfast. Great location. Clean rooms and showers/toilets. Nice staff. The beds are nice, I slept well. Only issue was the ladder leading up to the top bunk. It’s a bit narrow and tricky to climb up and out of the bed. I was scared I was going to fall off several times.

Very lovely new hostel in Singapore. Stayed at many hostels before but this probably stands out a lot because it offers a plentiful breakfast and has free toiletries. The capsule itself gets a little stuffy if the blinds are down but they provide a small fan in the capsule which is really thoughtful. Highly recommend this hostel, will be back real soon...

nice more upscale hostel in the Chinatown area. prime location, easy to get around. good for couples. shared bathrooms and dorms. have seperate female showers and bathrooms. good amenities in the showers. say they clean rooms once per day, but ours wasn't cleaned. I'm past my hostel days, but wanted my GF to have the experience. nice that they offer daily breakfast. clean rooms and bathrooms. seems like an older crowd as well.

Disliked: Amenities
It is RM290 per night for a queen size bed capsule. The sharing-room is very small but accommodate 6 capsules which is very unreasonable, cannot even move around and talk freely. The air-conditioning and the ventilation are poor. Not a comfortable stay and not a value for money. Even though the location is good, will definitely prefer to spend RM450 to stay at airbnb with 2 queen size beds

Breakfast is good. The location is fantastic. The hostel itself is meh. It is relatively new and clean, but: - for women, there are 2 toilets, 2 showers, 2 toilet + shower + sink and 1 sink. So if 3 sinks are busy, you will wait to simply brush your teeth - shoes are not allowed in the rooms, but slippers are not provided. I had to walk in my socks and bathroom was wet - I had the top bunk bed and getting there was a challenge so was getting out of there. Overall, the experience was okay, but I wouldn’t stay there again
