⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent Stay!
I had a wonderful experience at this hotel, everything was smooth from check in to check out. The staff were friendly, helpful, and always smiling, the rooms were clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The location was perfect, close to shops and transport. Breakfast was fresh and tasty every morning. I really enjoyed my stay here and would definitely return. Highly recommended for anyone looking for good service and a peaceful environment.

The environment was very basic, just a hard bed, dim lighting, and bugs. I woke up with several bites all over me. Everyone else staying there seemed to be long-term residents, not tourists. So, if you're traveling, I absolutely do not recommend this place.

This clean hostel is at a very good location with 4 MRT line access and a big food place next door. cleaning daily on the morning. I think those negative comments here are actually directed at those guests with bad habits

The reception are not working 24 hours. During I check in at midnight, due the flight was a bit late. So when I came, there was nobody around in the reception. So I keep waiting for almost 1 hour even they write there just ring the bell only for a few minutes (2min) the receptionist will come but actually she was not, so I have to knock the door a bit louder to let receptionist but she was actually mad and treated me so rude and shouted.
Response from Property: Dear Valued Guest, Thank you for staying with us. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you experienced during your check-in. Your feedback regarding the receptionist's behavior is concerning and will be addressed with our team to ensure it does not happen again. Warm Regards, Csw Hostel team.
