Fun location
You can wander over to the Haji Lane located just a few minutes away by walking and find yourself in the centre of bars and live music performances. Wander further down into the Bugis neighborhood and you'll find souvenirs, restaurants and shops to stay entertained. The hostel sits in an ideal location, near the MRT Bugis to see interesting neighbourhoods in Singapore.
positive:
Friendly, helpful owner
The owner was commended for being hospitable and kind. Guests said Mr. Ron and his mom are friendly and made their stay comfortable. Mr. Ron also gave them great local advice, guests say.
positive:
You get what you pay for
The budget prices stem from the fact that the rooms are smaller and the bathrooms are shared. If you're looking to spend most of your time exploring outside anyway, this place and its rates make it an ideal place to sleep.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Rooms are cramped
Rooms may feel small and tight. Several guests said it was hard to even get their luggage inside the room, nevertheless trying to open them. There wasn't much storage space.
negative:
Too stingy with the fees
Want to leave your bags before check-in time? The hostel charges $10 for storage or for getting into the rooms early. Guests said being confronted with extra fees to store their luggage left a bad taste in their mouth.
negative:
Noise from traffic and neighbours
The walls are thin and there's virtually no soundproofing. Expect to hear your neighbors. This place is not recommended for light sleepers who are easily woken by sounds. Also, there's plenty of traffic sound from the street.
