When we travel as a family, we don't usually go to hostels with shared bathrooms, but since we were going to be in Singapore for many nights and that the prices of the hotels we found were very high, we decided to reserve a room just for ourselves in this hostel. through Agoda. Things started quite badly, since two days before they send us a message saying that there has been a problem with our reservation, and instead of a family room we have to share a room. After several messages, we managed to get us to only have to share a room for two nights, and in exchange, they offered us a transfer to the airport. We arrived quite angry about the situation, but in the end everything turned out well and our stay has had many more positive aspects, so being a very simple accommodation, I consider it a good option for tight budgets in very expensive Singapore. Positives: very attentive staff, capsule-like rooms, but clean with comfortable beds, good air conditioning, very well located near Little India and not far from the Arab quarter, two metro stops nearby within a few minutes walk (Farrer Park on the purple line and Jalan Besar on the blue line), bus stops almost in front to go to the Harbourfront area (to go to Sentosa), or Chinatown. Even on foot, in about 30 minutes you can go to the bay area. It includes a very simple breakfast consisting of toast with butter and jam, cocoa cream or peanut butter, cereals, milk and sachet coffee or tea. Then each one must clean their cups and plates. There are three shower areas per floor, and as many toilets, and we had no problem finding a clean free toilet and/or shower at any time we needed it. Even on the days we had to share a room, people were quiet and respectful, so sleep quality was good. The rooms have no window and are silent. It is located in a non-touristy place, with all kinds of restaurants nearby. There is a hawker on the same street to eat completely local at good prices about 5 minutes walk. Not so positive aspects to take into account: check-in cannot be done from 2am-7am, towels are for rent for $2, storage space in common rooms is tight, stairs to access the beds above are somewhat uncomfortable. Some toilets are a bit narrow. In summary, very simple accommodation but suitable for tight budgets. Singapore is fascinating, and well worth spending several days visiting.
