River City Inn - Hostel

Ok the location is great, nest to the metro station, a walking distance from nightlife (Clark Quey), near to two shopping malls and not far away from china town. There is also a mini 7eleven across the street as well as a chain restaurant were you can try traditional breakfast with flawing coffee or tea. Lastly, the hostel offers free coffee,tea, filtered water, desktop computers to use. We stored our luggage here before check in because we arrived early in a public area,nest to the bathroom with no safety.

The building You are forced to remove your shoes before you enter the hostel. The are were you remove the shoes is the hallway and it is a common area of the building where as you may have guessed is not clean. Even when i bought new slippers from 711 they didn't allow me to wear them. The hostel is at the 3rd floor so with no elevator so if you have a big heavy bag you need to avoid this place. Also, in the building is housed one more hostel Red Doors i belive is the name, in whole Singapore you cannot find a more dirty entrance. All the travellers that smoked went down and put their cigarette buds on the plant of the entrance. I mean could the two hostels collaborate and put ashtrays in the entrance as well as clean all the buds from the plans and remove any trash? Insects So we were having breakfast and i noticed like 3 tiny insects on the bannanas. I thought to myself its fruits,its natural to see bugs on them from time to time. The following night i was about to fill a glass with water and as i leave the cup on the kitchen counter i see again the same insects walking on the glass. The last day, i noticed again the insects this time in the room next to my locker. Breakfast This is not a breakfast more like a complimentary snack. They put on the common table two kind of loafs of sliced bread white and brown, a basket with bannanas which sometimes were finished before i arrived and in HUGE jars in the middle they had butter,marmelade, peanutbutter&chocolate spread.If you need something healthy or savory you have to eat somewhere else. Sidenote the last day we were about to check out at 7:45am and breakfast started at 7:00am the girl there overslept and the time was 7:30am before some other traveler buzzed the bell on the door to wake her up. Payment So according to Booking payment was though my card. But when we arrived they asked us to pay by cash. And then B send me an email telling me my card was declined. B asked for a receipt which i was never given
