Good atmosphere, not great cleanliness
The staff were all very nice and helpful, free breakfast is always a plus, the terrace area was lovely, and the free laundry machine was an amazing perk. The cats that live around the hotel were adorable, and the hotel is conviently located a short walk from the metro.
However, people smoke in the hotel, and the smell filters everwhere (probably through the ventilation system), our bathroom somehow had a faint odor of sewage most of the time, and there was mold growing on the ceiling around the air vent. Also, the window we paid a little extra for just opened out into the hallway, so no fresh air or daylight.

Good hostel experience
Good hostel experience, we did a private room with a bathroom so a bit of an upgraded experience. Good local spot and close to transportation. The property is tired but staff are amazing and always working to make your stay the best.

It was a good place for the price. They have a cute bar and lounge to spend some down time in. Beds were clean and comfy.
It's a little far from public transportation. Despite the room was tiny, the services are impressively good. They tried their best to provide service and information a traveller need. All stuff people are kind and enthusiastic to help.

Great location, great pricing, great service
Stayed here for 6 nights in total. Great location with MRT station located within walking distance. We were transferred to a newly renovated standard twin room after a night and the room was great! New flooring new painting and new wallpaper, and also
a thumbs up for the breakfast area!

nice hotel with cats
The Hotel was reliable and they spoke English. One minus is that there are cats living in the hotel so if you are very allergic, don't go!

Good hostel
Pros are location (downtown near the shopping district), price (so cheap to compare nearby hotels), comfort.
Cons are messy corridor, air (I got cough and was hard to sleep due to air in the room). Also when the toilet was clogged, they didn't fix it even we requested.
Overall, good hotel (also no guests allowed in the room).
Great as always at this very central convenient hostel.

Sunkigt hostel
Hotellet har bra läge men är svårt att hitta specciellt då kartan som hotels.com visar inte ger det korrekta läget. Det så kallade deluxe rummet jag bodde i var rentav äckligt, lakanen var smutsiga och söndriga(!!). Helttäckningsmattan i rummet var smutsig och söndrig och verkade inte ha blivit ordentligt rengjord på ett bra tag. Jag skulle endast rekommendera detta hostel till backpackers med väldigt låga krav.

Mouldy and damp EVERYWHERE
To be fair, this is a comfortable place at first look, conveniently located, with very helpful staff - and very liveable if it weren't for the mould infesting the whole building. You can smell it in the lobby, at the reception, in the bar; the private room we received in the first night (without a window, mind you) smelt so bad that I had to sleep with an anti-smog mask to avoid serious breathing problems. We were given another room from the second night (again, no window) which also heavily smelt of mould but at least did not cause us more health trouble. (The small army of caterpillars in the bathroom was harmless.) We also had to do laundry while there; their tumble "dryer" is completely useless and we needed 3 hours to (almost) dry one half washer load. Worse yet, when we arrived at our next hotel and our noses had adjusted, we were not too surprised to find that our clothes felt damp and had taken up quite a bit of the mouldy smell. This is definitely not an isolated incident, I heard others complain about their rooms at the reception and this was in late summer, not during the rainy season.
