Budget Hostel”

The location is near in the train station (less than 3mins walk), with a free breakfast (bread, spread and coffee) from 7am to 10am 😊 Also, the hosts are very friendly, they even give you tips on where you can find very cheap goods/items. The only downside is their common toilet/comfort room, because you need to wait. But all in all, it’s a good place where you can rest after the whole day of roaming around Singapore

This hostel has pretty much what you need. It's clean, quiet, staffs are friendly, there's a free breakfast. I don't mind if it's just a bread (with 3 options for spread) and unlimited coffee. I mean, for a budget hostel I don't expect much so freebies are very much appreciated. There are MRT station about few minutes away, there's Boon Keng and Bendemeer. There's also a 24-hr hawker in lavender street (i think) just few blocks away. The only thing though is when I requested for a lower bed of the bunk bed they confirmed it but when I got there I still had the upper bed. I think it's best if they told me earlier at least. Overall, this is hostel more than what I expected. Brian is friendly and accommodating. Glad to meet people from around the world and have a chitchat over coffee while there.

Bed was really comfy and staff were really nice and accommodating. The only issue is cleanliness, shower rooms were clean but toilets were not. Other guests clothes are all around the place. The reception area wasn’t very inviting as it was a little messy. Footwears were scattered on the floor, maybe they need to put a shoe rack to make it look more organized. Lastly, breakfast was only bread and different types of spreads. Utensils weren’t even that clean. Would still recommend if you only want some comfy bed with a little affordable price.

One of the best Hostel i've ever been to”

Gap Year Hostel is just very good. The staff is very friendly. I even accidently broke a tea mug but the staff said it's cool and don't worry ^^ The room is a bit narrow but i don't mind at all since i only wanted a place to sleep. There are two toilets with shower. I think the staff should clean the toilets more frequently because of some bad-mannered guess. above all, i think Gap Year hostel is definitely my first choice when i come back singapore

“Not so many gaps, a good hostel in Singapore””

Arrived here past midnight on the 18th of March 2017. This is located some 3 - 5 minute walk from Boon Keng MRT Station. The hostel is on Lavender Street. This street has some a few other hostels as well. Upon arriving, the guy at the reception was so kind enough to take me in and show me the room. I had a 4 bunk room. Took a lower bunk. The AC was working well as well as the ceiling fan. The hostel is clean and organized and they serve simple breakfast of toasted bread and coffee/tea. Wifi is super fast as well. Would love to go back there in case I am in Singapore. Stayed March 2017, traveled solo
