The description given is that there is breakfast provided and wifi. Both mornings I would go to get some breakfast and there is nothing in the fridge or on the bench. Wifi is only reachable in the reception area which has space for only about 4 people to sit - no reception in the rooms.
There is no key for the room given and reception is not contactable late at night. If the other people staying in the same room as you lock the door this is problematic.
The bathrooms are mixed and there are windows leading directly to the balcony. The whole area is constantly wet and no screens on the windows means you are getting murdered by mosquitos when you use the bathrooms.
The bunk beds are wooden, creaky and sway a little too much for comfort when there is a person climbing up to the top bunk. When I was shown my room the guy took the top blanket off my bed and put a fresh one on. I am hoping this isnt the extent to 'cleaning' the bed after the previous guest.
I've stayed in hostels in Japan, Taiwan and South Korea and this Singapore one is one of the worst so far.
Excellent location, but promised free WiFi non-existent in rooms, had to go outside room. Very cramped room. If you want extremely basic accommodation in a great location, it's OK.

Price per night was ok. 1h 15 minutes by metro from the airport. It’s an affordable option so expectations should be also low, however the hostel should improve cleanliness. Staff was not available after 5 pm. There was no information how to contact them after that hour.
On the plus side: localization ok, close to dining options (i.e., Maxwell market) and to the ChinaTown metro station. Also walkable distance to Singapore Bay Area (30 minutes, note that you will be walking in sun and high humidity). Easy checkin/checkout process.
