Worst nightmare

2.0

Omg! Worst nightmare! Cockroaches crawling everywhere. Even on my bed. Hair dryer not working. Toilet so dirty and it’s sharing for both male and female. Will never come back.

6.0

One of the cheapest backpacker hostel in Singapore. First of all, the name of the place is "Checkers Backpacker" on Expedia, but the actual name is "Checkers Hostel". There is another location on Google map with the former name and the same hostel pictures. I ended up spending 1 hour reaching the actual place from the station. Be careful!!!!! Secondly, facility is old, but bed area is maintained clean to a decent level at this price. I had a good sleep as well. Bathroom is not clean but acceptable for this price. Finally, for service, not so good. The lady with hijab is not pleasant to talk with, but acceptable at this price. Overall, considering the price, it's acceptable to stay for short term. I wouldn't prefer to stay for long here.

It was dirty, unorganized, and crowded. The curtain rod fell down twice, there were bugs in my neighbor's bunk, the bathrooms smelled, etc. I could go on...

No good

4.0

1) Roof of my bed was plastered with cardboards 2) Air-condition put at 17 celcius was caused water to leak 3) Day staff was always on mobile phone, uninterested to attend to customers Thus, making sleep uncomfortable.
