Service World Hostel in Singapore, Singapore

Nice Steady Hotel, well worth a look Gavin, from England ~ 13th Oct 2009

Just two rooms cramped full of bunk beds, far too many for the small space. The only bathroom for both rooms is very odd it is a WC with a shower haphazardly added to the wall so there is no cubical or curtain and so the WC gets covered in water leaving soaking wet for anyone who wants to use the toliet. There is another bathroom, but you have to walk along the walkway connecting the seperate units that is open to the public and so you have to walk past various shops etc to get there.

An elderly infant school teacher and her retired glass-maker husband from a foreign country stumbled into a backpackers hostel, and immediately demanded to know why her bed was not covered with a white linen bed sheet under the blanket cover provided. She expected her bed which was already covered with a bed sheet, to be neatly done up the same way as in a hotel bedroom. Then she questioned why the bathroom, toilet and WC were not separately partitioned. Obviously, she forgot she was in Southeast Asia where bathrooms and WCs are often combined, and she did not realize she only paid S$18-00 SGD for her stay in a backpackers hostel meant for young backpackers. Suffice it to say that all comments and assessments in hostel reviews must never be done out of spite, and must be expressed in a constructive, reasonable or at least, rational manner.
