There were nice clean rooms with a shower (only one single room had no shower). There is also a common room with books and Internet access. It was run by very helpful hosts and only a few minutes walk to the Outram Park Interchange MRT station, from where you could easily go anywhere in the city. It is in a nice quiet neighbourhood in Chinatown, where you can meet many other travellers. It is only S$17 per bed, per night for a dorm.

This is a tropical forest with high trees and the sounds of the forest. It is soothing, especially when you are tired from a busy week in the city.
