Located in Chinatown, everything is nearby, and we even walked to Marina Bay and back. The subway is also conveniently located. The receptionist, Chan (I might have spelled her name wrong), was incredibly helpful and offered great advice. One small thing to note about check-in: if no one is at the desk, you have to check yourself in, which can be a bit of a challenge, especially if you don't have a local SIM card and no internet access.

Response from Property: Dear guest, Thank you for staying with us. We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed our convenient Chinatown location and that Chan made your stay even more enjoyable with her helpful assistance. We also appreciate your feedback on the self-service check-in process—we'll continue to work to make it more convenient for all our guests. Best wishes, The CSW Hostel Team

For this price, the location is probably the only thing that makes it worthwhile. It's right in the heart of Chinatown, making it convenient to walk everywhere. That's all I can really say, haha!

The environment is quite basic, but the location is excellent, right in the heart of Chinatown, making it very convenient to get around. For this price in Singapore, it's pretty much what you'd expect, so don't set your expectations too high.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent Stay!
I had a wonderful experience at this hotel, everything was smooth from check in to check out. The staff were friendly, helpful, and always smiling, the rooms were clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The location was perfect, close to shops and transport. Breakfast was fresh and tasty every morning. I really enjoyed my stay here and would definitely return. Highly recommended for anyone looking for good service and a peaceful environment.

The environment was very basic, just a hard bed, dim lighting, and bugs. I woke up with several bites all over me. Everyone else staying there seemed to be long-term residents, not tourists. So, if you're traveling, I absolutely do not recommend this place.

Response from Property: Dear Valued Guest,Thank you for staying with us. We sincerely apologize that your experience did not meet expectations and appreciate you sharing your concerns. From our records, we had arranged to move you to a 6 Premium Bed room to better accommodate your preference not to share with male guests, and fortunately the room assigned at that time was occupied only by female guests; additionally, long-term residents were accommodated separately and were not placed in the same room. During your stay, no concerns regarding bites or bedbugs were reported to our team, however we take this matter seriously and continue conducting inspections and checking all areas of the room carefully to maintain cleanliness and guest comfort. Your feedback is valued and helps us improve.Warm Regards,Csw Hostel Team

This clean hostel is at a very good location with 4 MRT line access and a big food place next door. cleaning daily on the morning. I think those negative comments here are actually directed at those guests with bad habits
