Ciara Joy

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Definitely very outdated and did not look like the pictures. The curtain for my bed looked moldy, there was definitely some sketchy spot on them. The bathroom was also not the cleanest of hostels that I’ve stayed at. I did have an issue checking in, so I had to wait for about 30 mins until I got a response via the chat to get checked in and access the room since there no front desk staff. To be honest I only saw one staff member during my entire 4 night stay, and it was the person who came to clean the bathroom in the late morning. One thing I’ll say is that the location was nice. Especially if you like to go out to bars or late night food. Boat Quay is a great area.

Although there were renovations of a neighboring business ongoing during my stay, the noise did not occur during quiet hours and the rooms were spacious and comfortable, with restaurants, bars and shopping barely a stone throws away in the lively surroundings of the China town district.

Clean place to stay

Stayed one night after attending a wedding. Plus point is the beds sligjter bigger than a single and my area had two plug points. Heater and toilets all work. Airconditioning was good. Check in was well thought off and it works automatically. Downside is I did experience noise up to 3 AM from the downstairs pub area..only a problem if ur a light sleeper otherwise not an issue. Would i stay again..yes..for a hostel where everything works why not

Very dirty beddings and washrooms. We found layers and layers of different people’s hair on our beddings. It was in a good location if you are fun loving and if you enjoy going out at night for a drink and a bite.
