“Missed the cleanliness”

Reviewed May 14, 2013 NEW via mobile

I stayed in the 10 bed mixed dorm for 2 nights. The dorm was really good, proper mattresses, lockers and heaps of space so that everyone has enough space for their stuff. But the bathrooms were not really clean, though everything seems to be quite new. Breakfast is basic and the staff was really helpful.

Problem with this review?

Hey Tplabst, It is really disappointing to hear about us falling short in our cleanliness. We will definitely find out what went wrong. It is definitely not our standard. We are glad however everything else was satisfactory. Thank you for your feedback! Take care! More

Hey Sagi T, We hear you! =) Thanks for giving us the opportunity to be of service to you. Glad you made the right choice. ;p *whisper* we spent quite a bit on the security access system so it'd better be good. =) Take care! More

“Friendly and good value”

Reviewed April 20, 2013

It's very hard to find a cheap place to sleep in Singapore. The Hive is friendly and has a fairly good location, very easy to walk down to Little India. There is tea and coffee available, the breakfast wasn't exciting but a bonus in Singapore! I had a single room in a separate building from reception and it was comfortable,... More

Hey Sophie F, It is goo to know on the whole, it was a positive experience staying with us. As you rightly pointed out, we have a fairly good location but there is a trade off - being beside the road. We place a lot of emphasis on good service and we are glad our staff did not disappoint.

Hey eddysuki, It has been a long while since someone left such a long feedback. We really appreciate the intent and effort. We are also very apologetic for telling you the wrong rate upon check-in.

“Comfortable stay”

Reviewed April 8, 2013

Happened to stay in a double room in this place run mostly by young people. Comfortable stay with a decent breakfast. The positives are location of the place (right in the middle of Little India) surrounded by food courts, MRT station, shopping malls and restaurants. The downsides are you never get to change a bed spread even if you stay... More

Hey RSDhar, You have rightly pointed out that our staff are in the 20s, better to connect with the crowd. =) Sorry it was not made known to you that we do change sheets upon request if required. As for the toilets, we would love to have individual showers/toilets for each room but unfortunately structurally it is not viable. Thank... More

our stay as a family was relaxed and comfortable. the staff is very helpful in answering every question by searching online information. The place was clean and rather empty when we stayed there. Actually there is nothing to complain than the noise from the main road. For our next stay we want to try again a closer homestay or backpackers... More

Hey Oliver G, We are glad you had a comfortable stay and that our staff was attentive to your needs. We are scratching our heads as to why it took you 7mins to the nearest MRT. The nearest MRT station is 300m away and it goes to many places like Little India, Chinatown and Clarke Quay to name a few... More

The building is located just next to a main road, and the back is the building is just next to an alley. So, it might get quite noisy in the daytime. I did not find it bothering since we are mostly away in the daytime. The rooms is quite spacious, clean bathroom, and simple breakfast is included. I like this... More

Hey Cylin O, Thank you for your feedback. We do not like cramped spaces hence our rooms are generally spacious. For us to be prominent so that guests can find us easily, there is a trade off - being near the road. We hope to see you back here sometime. =) Take care! More

If you are thinking of finding a cheap place to stay in Singapore then you can forget it! The cheapest places to stay are hostels and they are not exactly cheap.

Hey TomHPhoto, We must agree with you that it is getting more expensive living in Singapore. It is our main grouse these days. Hmmm...looks like we have to speak to our staff from what you have said. So sorry about that though! Otherwise, thank you for taking time to feedback on your stay. Take care wherever you are! More
