Stayed 5 nights. Very much recommended for the comfort and security.
Pros:
Awesome hosts / workers.
Very clean.
Air conditioning and fans everywhere.
Power plugs, lamps and lockers available per bed (locks not provided).
Cheap bike hire ($10 for 4 hours).
Opposite the Chinatown MRT (train), and near Chinatown (cheap food).
Cons:
It was very quiet while I was there. (But the hosts made up for it.)
They moved all my stuff out of my dorm while I was still staying for 2 more nights (!). This pissed me off as they placed a wet towel on my stuff.
They also failed to inform me while buying a ticket to the gardens at the hostel, that one of the gardens is closed in the weekend. They didn't want to refund me the money either.
The architecture is exquisite and interesting. Colorful windows. You can go inside to visit. A kind of school library.
The beary best hostel is perfect for you if you have a cold and cant smell anything. Because the smell of sweat and stinky shoes is disgusting. The breakfast is a Bad joke but at least the restrooms and showers are good.
My first hostel experience and it was pretty comfortable. Staff was very nice and friendly. I would highly recommend it.
