1. The feeling of unsafe, because the bunks stairs are way to stiff, 2. only a curtains thay doesn't close properly no privacy 3. bunk beds that very close to each other, curtains are the only partitions 4. Mixed hostel, either way not too safe if you are a female guests 5. Hallways too narrow 6. Guests lounge/dining doesn't look clean and can only fit 4 people 7. Bathroom ony 2 in total, not very inviting to do your nature business 8. Outside premises, is a turned off cigarette butt and some rubbish littered 9. Not recommended for a female guests

Disliked: Amenities
The pictures made it look like separate rooms. So, when we ordered a "quad room", we expected a room for 4 people. This was the case, but it was really a huge room with bedsheets separating the "quad rooms" from each other. A bit pricey for what it was. Location was good. Breakfast was a joke. Toast (and the 2nd morning there wasn't even toast, just butter and jam).

Convenient for Little India and good value
Extremely convenient and good value place to stay in Little India. Indie is immediately across the road from Jalan Besar MRT metro station, so very easy for transport. Reception is not manned at night, but Morna was very helpful and it was very easy to "self check in" in the middle of the night and find my bed. The hostel is very basic, but good value for money. There was good wifi.

Great Experience
Stayed here for a night. The two ladies, Kash and Mona were very welcoming. They actually provide with great insights about the area. They even make sure your luggage and belonging are kept safe. The place was well maintained and clean. Never stayed in a hostel before but this was a great experience. It’s a minute walk from Jalan Besar MRT station and centrally located. Highly recommended if you Just there with a group of mates and looking to stay at a cheap and clean place.

Плацкартный вагон с отличными проводниками
Район, где расположен хостел находится в очень удобном месте. В пешей доступности много достопримечательностей. Рядом две станции метро. Хостел напоминает плацкартный вагон: длинный коридор, где расположены трехярусные кровати. Тесновато. Есть сейф. Ваш комфорт сильно зависит от того, какая кровать и где вам достанется. На прикрепленной фотографии, можно увидеть самые неудачные места. Персонал на высшем уровне: прислушиваются к пожеланиям и стараются помочь. Из-за пятичасовой задержки рейса, у меня был поздний check in. На почту пришло письмо с подробными инструкциями, как заселиться самостоятельно. Всё получилось. Есть завтрак. Да, это тосты с джемом. Поверьте, это роскошь, ведь Сингапур один из самых дорогих городов мира.
