6/10 nice staff but facilities aren’t great
Pros:

Location is great, cool neighbourhood and easy to get downtown via public transport. Staff were very friendly and the beds are really comfy.

Cons:

The lockers weren’t working which I think is a big issue in a hostel. The showers didn’t have hot water.

Hôtel hyper bien situé et vraiment top pour quelques jours
Pros:

La propreté du dortoir et le calme qui y régnait. Lit propre et très confortable, j’ai hyper bien dormi. Plusieurs douches et toilettes disponibles à l’étage. De grands lavabos et miroirs (avec cotons, cotons tiges, sèche cheveux). La gentillesse du personnel. À la réception, on trouve tables et chaises où l’on peut se poser avec son ordinateur, pour bookiner ou pour manger (micro ondes et frigo disponibles). Ainsi qu’une machine à café gratuite. Hôtel hyper bien situé, avec le métro accessible à quelques minutes à pied et le quartier où se trouve la belle mosquée de Singapour, Arab Street.

Cons:

L’état des douches laissé par certaines filles (cheveux au sol), heureusement que le personnel de l’hôtel faisait le ménage dans les sanitaires plusieurs fois par jour, mais bon ça ce n’est pas la faute de l’hôtel.

Voldoende
Pros:

De locatie, en de slaapkamers zijn smal maar aangenaam.

Cons:

Op mijn bed stond de airco 24/7 op 2 meter afstand te blazen. De badkamers zijn eigenlijk bijna altijd vuil omdat de wc’s in de badkamer staan en er te weinig gepoetst wordt.

Pros:

Amazing location and staff. The side facing pods were great!

Cons:

The wifi was pretty bad in the room for me (great in the lobby). My experience was only diminished by another rude guest who turned the lights on at midnight and loudly packed till 3 am.
