there isn't much to say except the staff in unhelpful. I couldn't make it to my booked time because of a travel mishap and they didn't do a single thing to help me out as i was stuck in a different country. Would not recommend as the ownership obviously doesn't value their customers

Dorm is huge so there’s no privacy & it smells of everyone’s body odour. It’s so noisy because of the size and also the windows don’t shut so you can hear the road really loudly. No AC just fans so if you’re on the bottom bunk it’s BOILING. Fruit and juice at breakfast would be nice but they did provide butter, jam, peanut butter or chocolate spread for your toast which is more than some hostels. There’s a kitchen but you aren’t allowed to cook in it 🤔 Laundry price is reasonable but can’t remember exact cost.

Easy to find, within walking distance to Farrer Park MRT station. Locker is just beside our bed. Toilet has no place for us to put our soap and shampoo. One of the shower has no heater.

Great place to stay for a night/two. Recommended.
The hostel is a 10-15 minute walk from Lavender MRT station. There is a map at the MRT station, make sure to locate Jalan Besar. It will be along that road, you can't miss its iconic building. The staff are friendly and clear upon giving instructions. I overnight in one of the beds in the 24-bed room. The lockers provided are big enough to fit a traveller's bag pack. The bed is comfortable. The toilets aren't bad (didn't stink and was clean when i arrived). Though don't expect too much of it as it is one of the cheapest hostel in Singapore. Hot water shower is provided. The free breakfast is simple; white bread with a selection of bread spreads. I found it very satisfying as it is free and limitless. Good choices of drinks provided as well. The experience wasn't an issue to me, but as you will be sharing the room with many people, the people staying the night there with you will vary. WiFi provided is of a good speed and had no issues while i was surfing the net. I really enjoyed my overnight here. Will definitely visit this place again.

Hotel staff we helpful. We were 'upgraded' to a smaller room but unfortunately we were with a very inconsiderate family who woke us up at 4am and although there was a curfew in the main form the room we were in had no such thing so the light wasn't turned off until 1am

Okay location. Pretty old building. Poor breakfast (just toast and drink). Everything is quite dirty especially the bathroom. No cooking equipment in the kitchen even a microwave. It's good that they give you 1 locker per bed, at least your stuff will be safe.
