“Worst nightmare”
+Omg! Worst nightmare! Cockroaches crawling everywhere. Even on my bed. Hair dryer not working. Toilet so dirty and it’s sharing for both male and female. Will never come back.

+One of the cheapest backpacker hostel in Singapore. First of all, the name of the place is "Checkers Backpacker" on Expedia, but the actual name is "Checkers Hostel". There is another location on Google map with the former name and the same hostel pictures. I ended up spending 1 hour reaching the actual place from the station. Be careful!!!!! Secondly, facility is old, but bed area is maintained clean to a decent level at this price. I had a good sleep as well. Bathroom is not clean but acceptable for this price. Finally, for service, not so good. The lady with hijab is not pleasant to talk with, but acceptable at this price. Overall, considering the price, it's acceptable to stay for short term. I wouldn't prefer to stay for long here.

+It was dirty, unorganized, and crowded. The curtain rod fell down twice, there were bugs in my neighbor's bunk, the bathrooms smelled, etc. I could go on...

+沒吹風機，電熱水器也不熱，隔壁又是KTV隔音極不佳。附近可逛的很多可深入了解印度人的生活，對買黃金有興趣的可在這敗家到脫褲。

“horrible and disgusting stay”
+When we arrived the room which we actually booked was overbooked so that my boyfriend and I stayed separately for the first night and than we needed to move again for the second night. But the worst thing was -bed bugs- I think that says everything! My whole body was full of bed bugs bites after the stay in this hostel!!! I would definitely not recommend this hostel! It was terrible and dirty!
