Istana

One of the best Hostels I’ve ever stayed at. Clean, convenient, and in the heart of China town next to everything

We stayed in a one bed apartment with balcony for 8 nights. The bed was comfortable, the shower great and having a kitchenette with a fridge was a big bonus. There was a free breakfast included, but we chose instead to buy our own provisions as the items available weren't really to our taste. The staff were very helpful (thank you, Yeo, in particular). We liked the fact that you could ask for extra water at any time, and there were lots of useful items available at reception. Also preferred not having our room made up every day as we needed to sleep in due to jet lag for the first few days! It was an easy walk to a bus stop, and the MRT was not too far away. Didn't get a chance to use the rooftop area, but it looked very inviting! Would definitely stay again.

The hotel was clean and tidy, there were shops and restuarants around the lower area of the hotel which has a good choice.... ONE MAJOR PROBLEM.. they have a roof top Bar and sunbeds but the Bar doesnt open till 15.00 hours so you cannot get a drink if you decide to sunbathe before this time you CANNOT......
