Quarters Capsule Hostel

Location was amazing as you have some interesting spots nearby; Chinatown, the whole area of the bay, fort canning park and all the different quays. Also, there is a metro station five mins walking from the hostel as well as many bus stops to go basically anywhere. Breakfast was alright (milk, juice, bread, cereals and some different stuff to spread on your toast!) - not bad for the price you pay! The bed was comfy and clean and they let you leave your luggage in the main reception even though you have done the checkout, which is something to appreciate.

As soon as you arrive and not in the nicest way ever, the receptionist will go through the strict rules they have in the hostel even before you do the check-in (no shoes allowed or "sanction to pay", no stains on the bedding or "sanction to pay", no eating or drinking in the room or "sanction to pay", no late check out or "sanction to pay", no losing the key card or "..",...). Some of these rules are obvious but the way they through it at you could be somehow nicer and welcoming. Then you go up the stairs and you are even scared not to make noise in case you have a "sanction to pay" but you realize the place is not that great. Stairs are dirty (and you have to take off your shoes...eewww!), people in the room don't follow basic rules like NOT MAKING NOISE at midnight - sooo annoying so maybe they should be a bit more strict with basics like this!, toilets are kind of disgusting - you have to shower just in front of the toilet leaving everything wet for the person coming after you or you just wanna go to the toilet and firstly, your feet will be wet, the toilet itself is wet and the toilet paper also..is wet...not a very good use of space! Finally, on your last day, the receptionist will come and see (inspect I would say) the bedding and towel (for which you ALSO have to pay) and give you back the deposit only if there is not ONE make up stain - not that high standard overall as to having to check in detail! It was an experience I would say and obviously, it was cheap, but I wouldn't recommend it and I wouldn't stay here again.
