Auberge de jeunesse prĂšs de Jardins de la Baie Ă Singapour
Free breakfast is available daily. Public spaces have free WiFi. Wink @ Upper Cross Street - Hostel also features multilingual staff, a garden, and express check-in.
We are a bit apprehensive about booking a hostel for the family but the room had everything we need. Its of course small but its Singapore so we expected that.
The breakfast is basic but coffee, tea, toast and cereal was on offer so was good.
The service was execllent and the staff were always on hand even at 1am when we checked in!
Enkelt men bra hostel i Chinatown. Bra lÀge. VÀldigt hÄrda sÀngar och litet rum. Vi hade rum med egen toalett, vilket vi var nöjda med. Enkel frukost ingick.
We booked a family room, which was a great size with two queen beds and a good private bathroom. We had our own air-conditioning.
The free breakfast was fine and we utilised the free fridge storage and luggage storage.
Staff were efficient and knowledgeable and helpful.
But unfortunately we found it difficult to get our children to sleep. There was traffic noise outside, the control panel on the beds buzzed faintly all night, the blinds on the beds were not blackout blinds and clattered when you bumped them, and worst of all we couldn't get the room dark because there was a large illuminated EXIT sign stuck to the ceiling. The sign may be for safety but seems like overkill - wouldn't a glow sticker do the same safety job without lighting up the whole room. So overall we were disappointed with our bedroom.
It is a hostel but it was not backpacker vibes at all. Not social. There are only a few bathrooms for quite a lot of people and they are also quite faraway from some rooms which is when you need to go during the night. Also, the blinds on the beds are very loud.
However, the bed itself is quite comfy and the room has great AC. Also, it is perfectly located to explore Singapore. If you are here for a couple nights, not looking to socialise, and want to be close to things, I recommend. But I would not recommend to your typical backpacker who might be looking for some atmosphere
