There are two toilets and bathrooms outside the room. You don't have to worry about other floors using your own space. There are four floors in total.The room environment is clean, has good lighting, and is close to the MRT station.There are sofas and dining tables on the first floor. If you want to cook, there are HI stoves, microwaves, and various tableware. There is a paid laundromat on the street outside, and we wash it every two days.A little suggestion: there is no elevator, so you have to carry your luggage to each floor.In addition, there is no exhaust system in the toilet and bathroom, so it feels a little stuffy when using the bathroom space. Shampoo, shower gel, bath towels, and toothbrushes and toothpaste are provided. (There are supermarkets outside where you can buy it, so don’t worry if you don’t bring it with you, the stores are very close)Overall, the price is very affordable and highly recommended for petty bourgeoisie travellers. Climbing the stairs depends on personal choice, because this time I live on the fourth floor and climbing is more tiring 😂

This hostel is absolutely amazing. It was very clean, super comfortable, and very cute. The employees were so kind to us and spoke very good english. We sent our concert tickets to the hostel as we were traveling around and they held onto them for us until we arrived. They have very fast communication whenever we needed to ask them something. I would definitely recommend staying here. If I ever come back I will definitely stay here.
