Wink at Upper Cross Street

The kindness of the Indian receptionist Karthik he was very kind, accomodating , helpful and friendly, I wish the owner/manager take his time to grown up on his development as well the other guy from Myanmar, the receptionists/housekeeper/AllInOne that works on this pkace, they are very friendly!

It's a pretty functional, centrally located hostel with all amenities. There is not kitchen you can cook in, but a decent included breakfast. The beds are comfy and give you lots of privacy. What I also liked was that the AC was not too cold. There is a nice terrace and a view on an original Singaporean building next door.

The common CR is clean. Free breakfast though it’s only bread, coffee, milk chocolate drink and cereals everyday. Common kitchen is clean. You can put your food inside the ref. The capsule room esp the beds is good enough for 2 persons each capsule. The place is very near the shopping area and food establishments and also the MRT. It is easy to find since it is beside the street. It has a nearby Hop on Hop off stop also! The staff are also nice! They change the towels every now and then. We stayed for 5 nights. Each capsule bed has its own charging station and light. The Aircon is cool and we can also dry our shoes beside the windows.

Location is great. Small and simple but has everything you need.

I stayed at this hostel in the Chinatown area and had a great experience overall! The location is super convenient — just a short walk from the MRT stations, Chinatown Point, lots of great restaurants, and easy souvenir shopping spots. I checked in around 7 PM and had already informed the staff ahead of time. They were quick to reply and confirm everything, and the reception was still open when I arrived. For my booking, I originally had 2 nights in a mixed dorm (it was the only room available during those dates) and 3 nights in the female dorm. But when I landed in Singapore, I saw that the hostel had messaged me (shoutout to Nelson!) suggesting they could move me to the female dorm for the entire stay. I really appreciated that! I was assigned an upper bunk at first, but on my 3rd day, they kindly transferred me to a lower bunk — so grateful for that small but thoughtful gesture. The female dorm had its own shared space by the windows where you could open or store large suitcases. Each bed had a deep locker underneath, big enough for your things. There’s a fridge where you can store food, a microwave for reheating, and free coffee and tea laid out in the common area. The bathrooms and rooms were always clean — thanks to the hardworking staff — and all of them were friendly and accommodating throughout my stay. Bathrooms-wise, I think each cubicle had both a toilet and a shower, but I personally preferred using the ones on the 3rd floor since they felt a bit more private than the ones on the 2nd floor. Breakfast in the mornings was simple but appreciated — toast, spreads, coffee, cereal, and both dairy and non-dairy milk options.
