  1. 8.8Excellent

    YODKWAN from Thailand

    1 Person in 8-Bed Dormitory with Private Bathroom - Female Only
    Stayed 2 nights in April 2026

    “Only FEMALE ROOM”

    The eight-bed female-only room with a private toilet at this hotel is very satisfactory compared to the location and price. This time, towels are provided (they weren't available two years ago). I chose this place partly because of the limited budget, location, and convenience, making it suitable for solo travelers. The staff is friendly, and since I'm sensitive to the cold, I requested an extra blanket. There is online check-in service, which I find very convenient. For anyone considering staying here, please remember to bring your own soap, shampoo, and toothpaste.

    “An oasis in high-priced Singapore”

    It's conveniently located across from Exit F of Chinatown MRT station. It's economical and busy, but well-maintained.

    “sleep soundly”

    I can sleep soundly because the air conditioner is cold and the blanket is fragrant and clean, and there's no queue in the bathroom.

  4. 6.8Good

    Stayed 4 nights in July 2026

    “Person who stayed for 4 days.”

    The facility was worth the price. There was air conditioning, and it was nice to have a dining space on the first floor. I was a bit disappointed that they only gave one towel, and it was a bit bothersome to take off my shoes before entering the room. There are about five bunk beds in the room. I would recommend it if you need a place to sleep for a day or so.

    “Exceptional”

    The location is extremely convenient, just a short walk to the nearby MRT station. The room was clean, equipped with air-conditioning, and the shared bathroom consistently had hot water available. A special mention to the front desk staff, who were exceptionally kind, welcoming, and helpful throughout my stay. Overall, it is a good and budget friendly stay.
