Urban Hostel LLP (Backpackers) in Uppsala, Singapur

Urban Hostel has a nice name and convenient location near the metro but the character of this hostel is that of a mill.Get them in, take their money, give them the bare minimum and get them out quickly so the next people can come in.The common area is little more than a couch in front of the reception desk which is a stressful place to hang out because the receptionist is a stressed individual.Even worse, their advertised offer of free tea & coffee is NOT TRUE.I was very disappointed.

I usually avoid writing reviews about the Hostels I have stayed in during my many 3 to 6 month travel in many countries of the world.I had read a past review about this hostel.It compels me to say that the comments made about the receptionist, most probably Valerie, were not fair.She is a very kind, honest person who wants to treat all guests fairly.When a guest is not disciplined or considerate, she tells him/or her so in order to fulfill her duty to other guests. The truth hurts. harshad, from USA ~ 26th Jan 2012

the person in the recepsionist is a very bad person, she always talking talking talking, very fussy n unfriendly. the waterheater didnt work well. the good only is near to MRT station,thats it. i will never go to this hostel anymore. siti, from Indonesia ~ 15th Jan 2012

We didn't find it easily because there was just a paper printed at one hallway on the street, no other signs. The person on the reception told us that we should´ve read the instructions better, quite unpolite i would say. We had a twin room which was actually just a closet behind the reception. No mirror, trash bin, nothing. Aircon didn't work well. There wasn't staff available and there was just odd looking people hanging around all the time. 1 good thing: quick acces to MRT and away fro Sonja, from Finland ~ 27th Dec 2011

It was a nice place with a great location close to several nice local restaurants and just a rock throw away from the MRT-station Aljunied. From there it's easy to get downtown. The hostess was very nice and helpful but a bit stressed due to lots of work. In general I really liked the place. Bengt Olof, from Sweden ~ 24th Dec 2011
