I stayed here 2 times by the middle / end of May. Each time for several days in a 12 bed dorm. 2nd stay I was lucky enough to get the special that they sell on their website which was very good value!
PLUS:
- location! In the heart of little india :-)
- found dorms to be spacious enough
- every bed has an own small shelf, socket and reading light
- rooms have lockers
- for a deposit you can get adapters for the socket and padlocks for the locker from the reception
- basic breakfast included
- staff was really friendly and helpful (they even kept my arabic sweets, which were a present, when I forgot them the fridge and went to Melaka for a few days)
- walking distace to many places, close to MRT
- free and fast Wifi - loved it :-)
MINUS:
- "flooded" bathrooms, they are always wet.
- bathrooms to humid (no window)
- common room, reception and kitchen were all together in one room, but the room was simply too small for that concept. It felt too crowded for me.
I could no say that street noise bothered me.
It were more my room mates that interrupted my sleep. But you can hardly blame a hostel for that. The bigger dorms just seem to attract guest who don't care about their room mates.
I wish I could go for a half star, cause then I'd rate it as 3.5 stars.
But because I can't and I compare to other hostels I have stayed at, I gotta go for the 3 stars.
The positive outweighs the negative though and I would stay again :-)
