Economy Airport Stopover
A simple train ride from the airport by rail. Tapped foreign credit card for cheap ticket. Hostel had hot shower a bunk for a few hours and great WiFi with microwave for a snack. A good option if there's along time between flights. Lavender station close by. Staff very efficient and friendly.

FIrst time at Pine Hostel
First time in a hostel. Experience was really good. Short walk from train station makes it a convenient spot to set up shop. Friendly staff. Week night stay, so the three of us had the entire room to ourselves. Only issue for me was the men's bathroom. Water leakage in toilet area was not desirable, but not a big deal. Shower was spacious with good water pressure and heat. Room was comfortable. Really enjoyed it.

Not impressed, but it'll do in a pinch
The place is a little run down, the a/c wasn't cold enough, and the amenities were lacking. I slept alright though. Decent location. For a little more money you can get much better accommodations elsewhere.

Basic but friendly.
This was a decent hostel. Nice staff. The room was crowded with bunkbeds and the bathroom was on a separate floor. There was a shared tv room without ac and free internet. The breakfast was toast, jam and coffee or tea. On the whole I found it a bit overpriced.

Basic but good accommodation for a family
We are a family of 4, travelling with two boys aged 9 and 5. Due to the price of accommodation in Singapore, we opted for a hostel to stay at. The facilities at the hotel were excellent (computers, some where to sit and chill out). We were able to do homeschool work and had access to computers which really helped.

Cheap and Cheerful
The girls room was super we were only four of us. The air conditioning in the room was super as Singapore is hot! It was so nice getting back to the room. The staff are very friendly however i arrived at 5:30 in the morning and the doors were shut and my phone had no airtime so could not call anyone to open the doors. When the doors finally open the staff were very nice allowed me to have breakie and take a showers after my long bus ride. The hotel is 10 mins from Lavendar station.Burgis is one stop away good for tourists. I met two amazing girls at the hostel and we spent the days together. Best bit about hostels. The hostel was clean, staff friendly and convenient to get to.

Great location,only 5min from Lavender MRT & same MRT line with Changi. Clean & comfy room with nice bed,pillow & blanket. Separated rest-room for man & woman. Good room ventilation. Will definately recommend this hostel to my friends.

For the price...can't be beat
I really enjoyed the hostel. The place seemed very safe and was quiet. Close to the two rail stations and City Square Mall. The staff was so kind and helpful in every way. I stayed nights and started to feel at home. My picture was taken and will be placed on the wall of guests. I look forward to seeing it when I return. This place is great!

　駅からは決して遠くないものの建物を見つけるのに苦労しました。サイトに載っている写真を頼りにせず番地を追っていくと見つけやすいかと思います。（入口/階段が角の飲食店のすぐ横にあります。） 　受付でルームキーとロッカー用の鍵を渡してくれます。シャワーはぬるま湯でしたが、気温的にはちょうどよいところでしょう。 　スタッフの皆さんはとても親切でした。お世話になりました。

タオルの交換あり
安宿なのでないと思ってタオル持参。でも毎日クリーニングしたタオルと交換してくれます。 水が500mlボトル50セントというのもありがたい。セブンイレブンまで徒歩10秒くらいで便利。 観光用の電車:バスのフリーパスを買うなら、バス停の方が駅より格段に近く、徒歩3,4分で各方面のバスに乗れます。 私はいつもバスでラベンダー駅やカラン駅、ファーレル駅に向かい、そこからMRTをつかいました。

シャワー＆寝るだけならお勧め
ベッドは清潔で間が広く案外快適。エアコンが一日中効いているので、寝る時含め室内では上着必須。 シャワーブースは狭い。ドア内側にフックが3つあり、着替えやシャンプーなどが入る袋やカゴを持参すると良い。 水が500mlボトル50セント、1リットルでも1ドルで受付で売っているので、水はここで買うのが一番。

這樣便直的價錢,真的不能要求太多
以價錢來說真的很便宜,早餐只有方包及果醬加咖啡/茶,吃完記得要自己清洗用具,我住的是女子宿舍10人房,宿舍就在旅店lobby後面,所以當你出入洗浴間時外人是可以看到的,另外是女子宿舍的地區,房門是沒有鎖的,另外全是男職員出出入入工作,而且在還有人在房裏的時候入房執床,感覺真心差,男職員因為貪方便見沒有人時進入女性區域的厠所方便,這是有次我出房門時看見的,有次我在沐浴間洗澡時,聽到男職員進入女厠方便,我知是男的是因為吐痰聲,他總有吐不完的痰,而且在沐浴間看見有小強,雖然很小一只,但對於怕的人還是會害怕,這層有兩間宿舍房,但共用一個厠所及兩間浴室,我去時人不多,完全不用等,但如人多就真不夠用了,而且旅店是沒有電梯的,只有樓梯,帶大件行李回比較辛苦
义電只有拖板

저렴한 가격대비 쾌적한 시설. 또 가고싶어요!
한국인이 잘 오지않는 게스트하우스인것 같았어요. 그래서인지 외국인들끼리 서로 배려하고 조용히 지내고 대체적으로 굉장히 깨끗하고 쾌적합니다.(전혀 습하지 않음) 이곳저곳 관광하기에도 좋은 위치이고 와이파이도 잘터지고 모든것이 다 만족스럽습니다.

以同等價錢來相比算是不錯的背包客棧，只是一進飯店發現沒有一樓...，需要提著行李爬上二樓櫃台，整體來說是還不錯，櫃台服務人員也都很友善，有問題他們都會提供協助或建議。
