Overall, good place to stay for a few days and, given that Singapore is extremely expensive in general, value for money is great.
Pros :
- Place feels safe and clean
- Pretty easy to check in and to communicate with the hostel services, provided you are reasonably savvy with smartphones (if you aren't, this could easily become an obstacle for you, as there is only a reception during daytime)
- Fresh linen, reasonably comfortable bed, small but great shower, smart TV
- Common areas are clean and stylish
- Location is very convenient and great for exploring Singapore, lots of cute streets and restaurants around, Lau Pa Sat is 15 minutes away, MRT station is very close, area feels safe!
- AC in the room is great and you can control the temperature
- Online support is very responsive and people are nice!
Cons :
- Noisy area and our room wasn't really soundproofed. You can hear guests from next room, music from the rooftop bar doesn't stop before midnight, and you can expect to hear noises from the streets as well until late on Friday/Saturday. Also, right now there is construction work (as advertised) next door to the hotel, so starting at 8-9AM you can also expect pretty loud noises. Bringing earplugs would be a good idea.
- Even if the place feels pretty clean overall, there are mold traces on the shower curtain and in the corners of the room
- We got a room with no free space below or above the bed (picture 8/22), other pictures seem to display some of the rooms with a little more space for luggage. In our room, opening our luggage to access our clothes/things was a bit of a struggle, it's really quite small!
Tip :
Don't forget to request the linen/towel change every 3 days through their online chat service, it's really easy to do but they won't come if you don't specifically ask a day in advance!
In summary, we did enjoy our stay and think the value for money is good (for Singapore) and would recommend staying there if you are looking mainly for a place to sleep at night and don't mind noises too much! Thank you for the stay :)!
