로얄호스텔 1박 체험
위치는 아주 좋아요. 차이나타운 역 A CNFRN 코앞 그 유명한 비첸향 점포 바로 2층이더라는!!
5성급 같은 안락함은 없지만 깨끗하게 잘 관리되고 있어요.
The hostel is near MRT. And very clean.
If some guest has very heavy weight of baggage please be careful when up and down the hostel.

Was ich nicht mochte war die grindige Umhüllung des Etagen-Schlosses, das die Zimmer gesamthaft schützte und dass kein Leintuch bzw. Decke zur Verfügung stand, um sich zuzudecken.
No good experience, they made a mistake of my bed assignment and send a message asked I switch to other one immediately. However, I was traveling in other place. I cannot back to hotel within 2 hours. They should take their reponsibility to correct their mistake not do urgent request to customer.

Die Lage in Chinatown ist gut. Die MRT Station ist schnell erreichbar. In unserem Zimmer waren Betten für 20 Personen, die Doppelbetten waren aber fast immer mit 3-4 Personen belegt. Somit befanden sich locker 24 Menschen im Zimmer. Der Stauraum war nicht ausreichend. Die Flure sind eng und standen voller Gepäck. Es gab keinen Aufenthaltsraum. Lediglich 2 Sessel im engen Empfangsbereich konnten benutzt werden. Das Bad war ebenfalls sehr klein für die Anzahl der Gäste (2 Waschbecken, 2 Dusche, 2 WCs, alles in einem Raum nur mit Schiebetüren getrennt). Das Frühstück besteht aus einem 2 Dollar Voucher. Den kann man an 2 Stellen in Chinatown einlösen. Für Essen und Heißgetränk reicht der Betrag nicht aus.

Best Hostel Near Chinatown
I stayed in five hostels over the course of 11 days in Singapore and Royal Hostel was by far the best! Some reviews complained that they shut off the air con from 10-4, but they also opened up the room's windows and let the place air out while the (daily) housekeeping was done. This means it was the least smelly! No moist, sweaty clothing or towel funk like I had experienced in the other hostels. Privacy curtains, a plus. Cold filtered water dispenser and the shared bathroom is in stumbling distance from the door room(s). The staff was cheerful and helpful. There was enough room in the provided locker for my huge knapsack. Also, it is located on Smith St., which is also called "food street", which is a little wacky at night, but the room was surprising quiet! It's close to the MRT (two stops away from Harbour Front and Sentosa) and the famous Maxwell Hawker Centre. Breakfast coupons got me food or beverage at "Nanyang Old Coffee", which I already had been visiting for their delicious iced blended coffees. I extended my initial 2 day stay to 4.

Comfortable and the location is safe and convenient!
첫 호스텔 경험이었고, 여자입니다. 그래도 후기가 괜찮아서 눈 딱감고 싼 호스텔을 이렇게 골라 예약했는데요, 3박임에도 불구하고 2층침대를 주었습니다. 2층침대는 왜이리 불편한지.. 사다리 올라가고 내려갈때 가뜩이나 발아픈데 더 쑤셨습니다. 또 간격이 마지막에 너무 멀어서 넘어질뻔한적도 있었어요. 침대는 깔끔하고 벌래를 보진 못했지만, 여성에게 배려가 부족했던게 무엇보다도 샤워시설이었습니다. 너무 좁아서 씼고 갈아입기 불편했고, 여벌의 옷을 물로부터 안전하게 보관할 장소가 없어서 곤란했습니다. 여기에 수건까지 2달러 보증금 10달러 주고 하기엔 좀 너무하다.. 생각이 들었습니다. 어쨌든 남성에겐 편하고 좋은 호스텔인지 몰라도, 제겐 너무 불편한 경험이었고, 호스텔이 다 이런 식이라면 전 다음부턴 호텔을 선택하기로 했습니다. 또한 중국사람들 이른 아침부터 떠들고 불켜는거 진짜 진상.. 거기 일하는 사람들은 그래도 친절하대요ㅋ 하 여자에겐 진짜 비추비추 걍 가지 마세요^^
Generally clean and orderly. The staff were accommodating and helpful, they didn't mind us leaving our bags at the designated area after we checked out. The best part was it was right at the Chinatown food street and so close to the MRT station. It was very easy to move around.

Beyond my expectation
The hostel is near the subway. The hostel is clean and quite. Before I went there, I saw some negative comments about the bathroom; however, I found that it's not that bad.
