No female room

I didn’t check there is no female room in the internet, so we stayed in the room with some guys first day. But fortunately, staff helped us to change another hostel next day. Really appreciate!!

싼맛에 머무는 호스텔

전반적으로 관리가 잘 되지 않는 듯 합니다. 침대 시트도 새것으로 갈지도 않고. 카운터에 아르바이트생이 앉아 있지만, 이틀을 묵었는데 주인은 보지 못했습니다. 여기 묵기 전에 클락키 근처 호스텔에 사흘 있었는데 거긴 주인과 알바생이 관리를 잘 하더군요. 제가 묵었을 때만 그랬겠지만 금연이라고 붙어 있었는데 담배를 피는 사람이 있어서 좀 불쾌했습니다. 아침은 식빵, 우유, 버터, 딸기잼, 초코쨈, 밀크티 가루 두 가지. 화장실 겸 샤워실이 두 개. 리틀 인디아, 아랍 스트리트, 부기스가 근처에 있어 걸어갔다 올 수 있습니다.

라벤더역과 가까워서 관광시 편하였습니다. 직원분 친절하셨고, 게스트하우스지만 관리가 잘되어있어 조용하고 큰불편함없이 묵을수 있었습니다.

Hôtel de jeunesse en centre ville

Bonjour, c'était une expérience enrichissante. Malgré le fait de dormir avec des personnes inconnues, il y a beaucoup de respect et cela permet de faire des connaissances. C'est un lieu bien atypique avec une bonne ambiance. C'est propre et entretenu chaque jour. Ce n'est pas cher et l'hôtel propose des réductions sur des activités de la ville. La connection wifi est bonne. Vous avez un salon avec tv et une petite terrasse. Cela m'a vraiment plu.

Very good

We purchased the family private room for 8 people. Really nice room, its very roomy for 8 people, has free bread and coffee every morning. Quick walk to the MRT, close to grocery stores, food restaurant (24hrs) which is very good. The only downside is no lift, You have to climb the stairs to 3rd floor and the bathroom, the issue is its shared and most of the times if someones using the shower the water overflows on the floor. Overall I recommend it to anybody. :)
