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

This place was great, my group was a family of 4, with two kids and this place was quiet, clean and perfect location to get pretty much anywhere as the tram station was close as well as shops and Chinatown

Great for transport options, chinese food options. But also KFC and other western fast food in the area. Very chinese area. Some hidden away, reasonable fabric stores in area for decades. Some local old time cobblers too.Coin laundry nearby.
Staff are polite, keep the place orderly and clean. Ample bathrooms and nice dorm rooms.
Do not like male guests who go around shirtless outside of their rooms.
Female guests who insist on keeping airconditioned dorm room windows wide open, letting in the heat and noise.
They have private rooms for families, but sometimes there are odd guests in the dorms who make others feel uncomfortable.

Stayed a night in the queen pod room for four persons and it was ok...very clean, albeit sparse. There's no other furniture in the room, not even a chair/table so we had to sit on the floor. The amenities were basic. They provided toilet paper, towels and hair/body wash, nothing else. The towels smelled a bit musty/damp. The bed was very creaky and the mattress was very thin, like 2 inches, so you can feel the hard board underneath. You can hear noises throughout the night from the busy traffic and people walking in and out of their rooms, but probably not as noisy as the bed itself lol.. Overall it was an ok stay if you're not sensitive to sound. There are also many dining options nearby and the mrt station is a short stroll away so you can travel anywhere with ease.

It was serve yourself breakfast and wash your own cups, which is fine. Some of the guests are rude and impatient. My son’s bread was not done toasting yet, one of the guest cancel the toasting and put the bread on the table. We were not happy. And after you use cups, the guests were suppose to wash them and put them back on the tray. Some guests just rinse them and put them back on the tray. It was gross. So we wash the cups first before we use them. The room was really clean and the hallway was clean. But the security locks in every floor was kind of exaggerating. I don’t think we would come back.
