Pros: We were right by the downtown across from a grocery. The rooms were clean. Bath was nearby and clean. Optimal for us. If fact we would be back there in a heart beat. The kitchen was well apointed to prepare whatever we needed. Shuttle available.

Okay
4.2
Pros: Location is great, close to the Esplanade waterfront & lagoon, and any number of restaurants. Plenty of entertainment all within walking distance.
Cons: This is a club & party hostel. If you want one place to sit around, get drunk and club all night, stay here. If you think you're going to meet anyone, go elsewhere or get a good night's sleep... move on. Club is below all the rooms and runs all night. And everyone who stays here just wants to be in the club, so people stumble in & out of the rooms at all hours, yelling & screaming in the hallways, and if they do manage to get in the room with their key, they will vomit, scream & leave. Would never stay here again.

Pros: Standard backpacker place. Good kitchen and clean overall. Located above a bar so nice spot to hang out. Bands that were playing were pretty good and the happy hour deals were good.
Cons: The music venue below is not a fit for everyone, it is very loud until late and the walls are fairly thin so revelers coming home late could be heard through the walls on either side. Overall as long as you stay up late or sleep heavily, not a bad stay. Never could find where the free meals were served, but we were there over a holiday so it's possible the meals were not available those days.
