Thank you for making my stay in Singapore enjoyable!
Pros:

Excellent, hard-working, friendly, patient staff - some of the nicest I've ever met in a hostel! They were always available to answer your needs. Unlimited towels, soy milk and toast in the morning to boost you! Top choice for budget travellers.

Cons:

Being a hostel with dorms and shared spaces, your experience will depend on how well other guests follow the rules (no shoes inside, being quiet after 10pm, etc).

I still enjoyed my stay anyway it’s just a couple of days.
Pros:

It is clean and walking distance to the attractions.

Cons:

For me as individual, i don’t like the upper deck. It was difficult for me to climb. I have shoulder and heel pain. The staff didn’t allow me to occupy a vacant lower bed. It was empty even on the 2nd day.

在物價極高的新加坡，附贈簡單早餐是很棒的
Pros:

位置好，離地鐵站很近，附近就有購物中心，水壓夠大熱水溫度也夠，房間簡單整體環境算是乾淨舒適的，還附贈簡單的早餐，性價比很高

Cons:

櫃檯在2樓，房間在2～4樓，沒有電梯搬行李稍微不便
服務人員很熱心，check in後帶我們到房間有幫忙搬行李
冷氣很冷，只有一條像浴巾薄的被子不太夠

OK value for money, but wouldnt stay longer then few nights
Pros:

Very good location; rooms are very clean. Staff is friendly but seemed a bit overstressed most of the time. Simple breakfast is a very nice gesture. Steam iron was very helpful at one point.

Cons:

Rooms with more beds have absolutely no shelf or any other spot to unpack your staff. You gotta live from the luggage and keep small things on your bed - like in a camping tent. You can store the whole luggage inside the locker under the bed; but that lock is so loud, once you use it, you wake everyone up. Upper beds are extreemely difficult to climb up to. Most of the toilets are also showers; that leads to the fact that the toilet is always wet.
