Superb Hostel

Singapore

Room was very small, no window, smell bad, leakage on the wall. 1 bunk bed but the lower bed had been dismantled, so they put 2 matrasses on the floor. Thin bed sheet, sarong and a pillow for each.
No desk, no tv, basically it was just a room with matrasses. 

Bathroom was dirty and smelly, no free drinking water, no common room, no pantry.

When I entered the room, the AC and fan were already on high speed, but it didn't help to get rid off the smell and the dampness of the room. 

You pay $S3 if you want to store your luggage after check-out. Basically, you must pay any other service. 

I immediately checked-out in the evening after booking another hotel.

Just stay out of this place. 



Just dont stay here

The Superb is a budget hostel, which is well-located - right opposite the Sultan Mosque. Bugis train station is 350m and you can walk to Little India or the Marina. A Starbucks is also closely located and so is Tolido’s Espresso Nook, which has Singapore’s best breakfast. Biryani eateries are just across the road. 

The rooms are narrow. We had a bunk bed  and one person needed to be on the upper bed, so the other one could sit on the lower bed in order to open the suitcase on the floor. Beds are squeaky - you wake up the entire floor trying to change sides. Let’s not talk about the mattress. The first call for prayer at the mosque is around 5am - it’ll be loud, don’t get startled.

The bathroom/shower situation is strange. You walk into an opening (no door shields it from the corridor), and there are 3 tiny shower cubicles, and at the rear is the best bathroom of the establishment: a separate room with toilet, sink, shower head. So naturally, everyone tries to get into that one. The other 2 toilets, which are by the staircase, have a not-so-private way of closing doors: you walk through one loo into the next. While you can close this one, someone else might be outside using the second loo. It’ll surely make you laugh - at least out of desperation. Cleanliness of the bathrooms depends on the time you use them. I’ve seen them “sparkling”, but also very nasty. However, regardless of the time, they will always - ALWAYS - be so wet as if it was a swimming pool (once you’ve overcome your disgust, you’ll get used to it).

While I understand that Singapore is expensive, the moneymaking schemes of this institution are beyond shady. Check-in is 14:00 and while booking I selected our arrival time at 12:00. But we came at 13:30. Yet the charge of 20SGD was due (1 hr/10SGD). Nowhere did it say that while booking. 

A friend came to show us around. He went to the reception to inquire about us and was told to wait outside. He asked whether he could wait in the reception room due to the A/C but was denied. It was another receptionist than the one we had checked-in with (he had been kind).

Recommendation? If you want a bed only, they provide that. Your hygiene routine will definitely be put on a hold. 

Narrow rooms, not enough bathrooms, but centrally located!

Its only S$110 a room for 4 people (actually its only for 3 people, but the owner allowed us to fill it with 4 peeps), free mineral water, clean room, no bed bugs, super friendly owner. I got a room which is separated with another building. And the building where i am in has no bathroom. So whenever I wanna use bathroom, I have to go to another building of motel.   Since I arrived at bugis street at midnight and there was no room available, and Superb Motel was the last choice for me & my friends.

The Last Guesthouse Available

I stayed in a two bed private room. It was very small, with just the beds, a table, a stool and some hooks.  The room also had air conditioning, which was needed.  There were no windows in the room. 

The shower area was good. Very clean and spacious shower cubicles. 

I did unfortunately see a few bugs in a few places, such as one of the bathrooms and in the bedroom. 

The staff were very friendly. 

The best thing about this hostel is its location. It is a short walk from the city centre, and marina bay. It is also a 5 minute walk away from the train station, which is very useful if you are going to or coming from the airport. 

It is also near many restaurants, including a cheap food court in a shopping mall which is a five minute walk away. 

Overall, this is a very good place to stay.

Great. Very secure.

I'm very happy stay in this hostel with my family and i think this is the best choice for backpacker also..
The price is not expensive and the facilities not bad
And for the first i come to this hostel the staff very friendly and helpful especially for "Ellen".
Thanks and we will come back to this hostel in another trip and another time..

Best experince for our trip

The best thing about this place is the location which is close to Bugis. We were able to walk everywhere that we visited while in Singapore. Rooms are very small and because our mattress was on the floor, there is nowhere to put your bags to make more space (eg under the bed). Bathroom and toilet facilities are very limited given the size of the hostel and the shower cubicles are also very small. The young guy on reception was extremely helpful. Quite expensive for what you get even though it is in Singapore.
