Pay car parking in front of the hostel. ##### Chi Hang Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elsa Aug 1, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Public areas are well maintained, staff are super helpful and generous. Got upgraded a couple of times. Love that they have a gym room, a tiny one but good enough for a hostel. ##### Elsa Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Ben Nov 3, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Well run and clean property with few signs of wear and tear despite high usage. Bathrooms were clean and air-circulation was good. Only the kitchen ficilities let things down slightly due to high usage (taps loose in their fittings, communal scouring pads need more frequent replacement - one microwave was inoperable). But would definitely stay again. ##### Ben Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller Dec 21, 2023 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities #### Good for meeting new people -with bad facilities The pictures on the webside of the room I booked did not collide with reality! It was not very clean. The hostel was however very good if you want to meet new people. You get a free drink on the day of arrival to mingle with people. I only stayed for one night and I would not have liked to stay more than maybe 3 nights there. I forgot to take photos because I only stayed for 1 night. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Dec 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Sierra Mar 5, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Getting in and out of the rooms using the Goki app was pretty easy, staff at reception were really nice and helpful. The only complaint I have is the kitchen smelled so bad it permeated throughout the entire area outside it. I stayed on the 4th floor so I can’t speak for the other floors, but there were food items still in the fridges left unmoved for days/weeks at a time (I stayed for 2 weeks) and it was clear it probably hasnt been thoroughly cleaned/checked in a while. When dishes were washed and put away even by staff at the end of the night, there were still little grubs here and there on them. But housekeeping service and cleanliness of the entire place outside of that was pretty consistent. They cleaned the showers and trash every day, and fresh linens would be replaced from guests that were checked out. Everyone was really polite and helpful. Again, overall not bad. ##### Sierra Stayed 14 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Adam Aug 22, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Amazing place to stay everyone was friendly awesome vibe ##### Adam Stayed 1 night in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ian Jun 27, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness My room was very clean, helpful friendly staff. ##### Ian Stayed 1 night in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elsa Jul 10, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities good vibe, friendly and helpful staffs, loving community ##### Elsa Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alexandra May 22, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities I liked that property was walking distance to everything ##### Alexandra Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### IPPO Nov 27, 2023 Disliked: Amenities Thank you for staying 3 nights ##### IPPO Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### MUHAMMAD SULAIMI BIN Feb 22, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Queen Victoria Market is nearby. ##### MUHAMMAD SULAIMI BIN Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Geoffrey Jun 1, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities A good option if you don't mind dormitory accommodation and a range of interesting people to meet. ##### Geoffrey Stayed 1 night in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Maria Cristina Apr 27, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I do not understand rhe negative review this place is amazing. ##### Maria Cristina Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Belthrand Feb 19, 2024 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Everyone minds their business ##### Belthrand Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### MARK Apr 9, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I liked the quietness in the living quarters.
