We arrived, the door was locked and after ringing several times nobody answered. Eventually another guest checked us in. The room didn’t have windows or a lock, so anyone could get in. The bed and pillow were very hard. The toilets were often dirty, poorly soundproofed and wet. Owner didn’t speak English but was very helpful and flexible. We were able to leave our bags after checkout. Not social which we enjoyed. Safe and great location. All in all nice, clean hostel. Would stay again!

super affordable, nice hostel run by a super sweet older couple. they don’t really speak a lot of englisch, but that’s what google translate was invented for. the rooms & bathrooms were nice and they even have a little kitchen!

Het was een aangenaam en proper hostel en mooi ingericht. Wel een beetje donker. Helaas weinig ruimte om te chillen. Heel vriendelijke hosts.

Honestly a great hostel. AC worked great and it was clean and comfy. Only complaint is the location. It was far from the MRT but it didn't really matter cause the Grabs are so cheap

A simple hostel. My bed was not made when I arrived late, since it was not supposed to be anyone sleeping after they made it prior, guess someone wanted to sleep closer to the AC. The lady there was nice and switched the bedsheet right away and apologized. What’s more concerning is that I met a man looking like he only had a long t shirt on, washing his underwear at 11pm in the only sink that was there. Had to was my hands over his boxers after I used the bathroom. It was okay for 1 night

everything is very clean, staff is so so friendly and welcoming. The hostel is a bit far from everything but if you don’t mind walking it’s fine. Not a social hostel so if you want to socialize, you should maybe reconsider :)

I really enjoyed my stay at this hostel. The host lady was incredibly welcoming and kind to us - thank you so much! It was a nicely equipped dorm room with good acoustics (aka pretty quiet) thick blinds on the windows, private lockers and bed lamps. Nice new facilities. AC. Nice bedding and linen. Free water in the kitchenette. Downsides: The location was not our favorite, it felt far away from everything. it would be nice if there was a towel at the toilet sink.

Nice hostel inna really good location. It is a walkable distance from ferry port, metro as well as many restaurants. The room and bed was comfy and it didn't feel crowded. The owners are super friendly even though thier limitations in English.
