Clean and good location but no atmosphere
It is a hostel but it was not backpacker vibes at all. Not social. There are only a few bathrooms for quite a lot of people and they are also quite faraway from some rooms which is when you need to go during the night. Also, the blinds on the beds are very loud.
However, the bed itself is quite comfy and the room has great AC. Also, it is perfectly located to explore Singapore. If you are here for a couple nights, not looking to socialise, and want to be close to things, I recommend. But I would not recommend to your typical backpacker who might be looking for some atmosphere
The staffs are all very kind! The building is old but kept very clean. During my stay, maintenance workers were cleaning the air conditioner and the toilets. Let’s be friendly with other guests, show our appreciation to hotel staffs, and strive to make each other's stay comfortable!
The guys from reception are nice! but the manager....

Walking distance was good
It was easy walking around to some tourist attractions nearby, otherwise close to the metro next to Chinatown. The staff were friendly, the breakfast included was bread with some jam, peanutbutter and butter, milk and different type of flakes. Bathroom are shared between men and women’s, daily cleaning.
We booked a family room, which was a great size with two queen beds and a good private bathroom. We had our own air-conditioning.
The free breakfast was fine and we utilised the free fridge storage and luggage storage.
Staff were efficient and knowledgeable and helpful.
But unfortunately we found it difficult to get our children to sleep. There was traffic noise outside, the control panel on the beds buzzed faintly all night, the blinds on the beds were not blackout blinds and clattered when you bumped them, and worst of all we couldn't get the room dark because there was a large illuminated EXIT sign stuck to the ceiling. The sign may be for safety but seems like overkill - wouldn't a glow sticker do the same safety job without lighting up the whole room. So overall we were disappointed with our bedroom.
Everything was good n fine,Myanmar staffs are good n happy in their work by cleaning the rooms n common area,toilets on evry levels,hard working guys,early wakie to prepare breakfast for the guest n very fine breakfast not like in a coffee shop,helpfull guys,they make all the best out of it in the hostel for many to come n check in,c u guys next time.Shalom!,
