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.

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.

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.

ラッフルズプレイス駅から歩いた到着しました。チャイナタウンやマーライオンなどの観光スポットも散歩好きな自分自身にとっては徒歩圏内。とても便利な場所にあります。 ホステルは4階にあり、エレベーターはありません。古い建物で、4階フロアがホステルになっています。設備は新しくはないですが、綺麗に保たれています。ただ、夜中22時以降などのリビングでの大きな話し声などは、禁止サインをつけるべきです。また、当たり前のことですが、ベッドルームの中でのスマホ通話の禁止のサインを掲示すべきです。色々な国の方がいるので、マナーを知らない人もいました。 そこが解消されれば、この価格帯では最高の場所の一つです。 また、宿泊代が周辺で最安な感じなので、上記のノイズが全く気にならない人にとっては最適だと思います。

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。
