Near mrt and bus station
The uncle which is incharge on the 4th floor is not open for opinions or feedbacks from customers.. we weren't able to sleep well because the room smells like durian.. And about the shower rooms, maybe it's better if you put a note on the door of the shower stating that it is under repair or out of order.. Maybe your property will gain or attract more travellers if you maintain it properly.because as I have the notice the reception area is very tidy/clean and friendly atmosphere but the rooms are so disgusting. I am sorry for the word. We did not expect it. The total opposite of the pictures that are shown in expedia. I did not get my moneys worth. It is more like a 10 dollar per day accomodation.

worst hostel
Horrible hostel. Went to use the washroom and there was a rat running around, the sheets in the room had blood on them, you could hear EVERYTHING in the rooms next door so you can't sleep (there was a baby crying all night and people's phones and alarms were going off all night), we were told there would be breakfast but there was none, the beds were disgusting. I complained in the morning and the manager has agreed to give me a refund via hotels.com.

이런 호텔은 리스트에서 빼야합니다. 청결도 최악이고 쓰레기통이 이보다는 깨끗하고 향기로울 겁니다. 불결하고 악취에 어둡고, 사진만 보고 예약하고 갔다가 기절하고, 나왔습니다, 취소도 안되고 돈만 날렸습니다. 사진에 현혹되지 않게 사진 내려주시고 이런호텔은 삭제해서 다른 피해자가 나오지 않도록 해주세요.

Absolute No No, unclean & stinking rooms
The room had a terrible stink, too small, smelly bathrooms, no facilities such as TV etc, highly cramped rooms.
Hotel must do something and should not befool the tourists. Overall a terrible experience.

Hotel yg mudah dijangkau
Mgkn kamarnya tergolong sempit namanya jg hostel utk Backpacker tapi Jika anda hanya butuh tempat untuk beristirahat dan menyimpan barang ini sangat membantu karena tempatnya sangat strategis dekat dengan MRT Lavender, sekaligus tempat makan enak, jalan kaki sebentar 5 menit bahkan dekat bandara saat mau pulang dengan barang-barang bisa pakai MRT, so SANGAT SAYA REKOMENDASIKAN krn kepraktisannya, bahkan bisa titip barang meski sudah cek out (dalam rangka penghematan)

Bad Experiance
Very Bad Experience for this hostel.
1. I booking from 3/6 to 6/6 and I land to Singapore is 2300pm and I go down to the hostel. No staff to helping check in service and lock the door and notice show is check in time from 0800 to 2245. So I need to extra pay for renting the hotel just next to that hostel and I check the hotel.com they don't special mention about the check in time. if they post out that check in time. I will not booking this hostel.
2. Check in on next morning at 0900 on 4/6/2016, we stay in 4th floor room 428 to 429 on that night. on 5/6/2016 I wake up I was found full of my body bite by bed bugs and I need to go to see the doctor. Again, when I check out on 5/6/2016 2130 No staff there and I need to wait a long time for check out.
I will not suggest to anyone of you to stay here. please aware.

There were a lot of bed bugs so make sure to have your sheets changed and choose the top bed. The mainstay indian (lady) who is also a guest is kind of rude and her stuff are all over the place and the room with her really smells bad amd she confronted me one time for turning off the aircon which i did not. Good thing that you can smoke downstairs or at fire exit. Bathrooms are not that clean and super hot. There are no free soap and shampoo. The website states that they serve breakfast but when i got there they said they dont anymore so it added to my expenses. The receptionist is very accommodating. No lift so i had to carry my luggage to the third floor. There was also a drunk guy one night sleeping at the common area.
