We booked a family room, which was a great size with two queen beds and a good private bathroom. We had our own air-conditioning. The free breakfast was fine and we utilised the free fridge storage and luggage storage. Staff were efficient and knowledgeable and helpful. But unfortunately we found it difficult to get our children to sleep. There was traffic noise outside, the control panel on the beds buzzed faintly all night, the blinds on the beds were not blackout blinds and clattered when you bumped them, and worst of all we couldn't get the room dark because there was a large illuminated EXIT sign stuck to the ceiling. The sign may be for safety but seems like overkill - wouldn't a glow sticker do the same safety job without lighting up the whole room. So overall we were disappointed with our bedroom.

Great location

We are a bit apprehensive about booking a hostel for the family but the room had everything we need. Its of course small but its Singapore so we expected that. The breakfast is basic but coffee, tea, toast and cereal was on offer so was good. The service was execllent and the staff were always on hand even at 1am when we checked in!

Hostel i Chinatown

Enkelt men bra hostel i Chinatown. Bra läge. Väldigt hårda sängar och litet rum. Vi hade rum med egen toalett, vilket vi var nöjda med. Enkel frukost ingick.

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

櫃檯人員不太會說中文，基本上都是用翻譯軟體翻譯，但服務態度很好👍 有陽台可以小酌，沒有時間限制，基本上半夜12點後音量降低即可，以不吵到別人為基準👍 但美中不足是要扛行李爬樓梯，行李重的很吃力😰 附近有很多商場和美食，很方便👍 離地鐵站近，牛車水藍線F出口， 斜對面過馬路就是住宿的地方了👍

Super Lage an der MRT Chinatown. Eigenes sauberes Bad. Steinhartes Bett (hab blaue Flecken), absolut gar keine Möglichkeit etwas abzustellen (Wände sind komplett kahl, eigentlich wäre Platz), Frühstück nur helles Toast, wirklich eklige Marmelade und süßes Knabbermüsli. Für die Lage war das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis wahrscheinlich ok.

トイレとシャワーが一緒になっているのが使いにくかった。シャワーが便器のほぼ真上にあるので、誰かがシャワーを使ったすぐ後にトイレに入るとペーパーは濡れているし、便座に抜け毛が張り付いているし、床が水浸しだし、気持ち悪かった。 他の宿泊客の使い方やスタッフの清掃のタイミングに因るところもあるが、トイレとシャワーはそれぞれ別の個室であってほしい。 利用者がいつでも使えるように床の水を切るスクイージーが置いてあれば、もう少し快適になるのではないか。 WinkのMosque Streetに10年ほど前に何度か泊まったが、シャワーとトイレは分かれていて快適だった。今回の旅の日程はそこに空き部屋がなかったので、Winkのブランドに期待して新しい方のUpper Cross Streetの予約を取ったが残念な結果だった。 スタッフの若者たちは好感が持てた。夜に大きな声でおしゃべりをするグループに声をかけたり、シャワーに怯んだ私たちに比較的マシな個室を教えてくれたりした。 部屋はクーラーが効いていて肌寒かったので、寝るときに長袖を着たほうがいいかもしれない。
