The receptionist was nice enough to let me check in early before noon. The bed was clean and comfortable, with a reading lamp and two power outlets next to it. The elevator is great, it's not too common that a budget hostel would have one. Excellent location, just a short walk to City Square Mall/Farrer Park MRT station and Sheng Siong 24-hour grocery.

It was in the middle of a renovation during my stay (there's no bar area, pool table or couches in the lobby). Bathrooms weren't very well maintained, they seemed to be constantly dirty. One of the shower cubicles in the 3rd floor already had a broken lock, and not enough hooks to hang clothes and towels. Hand soap bottle was empty for 2 days straight. Chaotic pantry area, seems too far from the dining area which is beside reception. Intermittent wifi connectivity at times. They charge $1 per bag that you leave with them for storage after checkout, every other hotel/hostel I've stayed in offers this as a free service.

Slightly above average, but lots of room for improvement.

Singapore Hostels are super expensive so Blue Jazz was one of the hostels that was closer in my price range. I wish the bathrooms were a bit cleaner and there really wasn't any place to meet people. The first night the zircon stopped working so I got switched into a different room and after that it was great. The staff was friendly but not super helpful with information about buses, the city and or attractions.

Affordable Hostel in Singapore

The location is near the MRT but the bed and toilet wasn't really clean.. for the first night, i think someone changed my blanket and it smells so bad so the next day i ask the staff to change it, the staff is responsive and they immediately change it for me 

Near MRT station

I stayed at this hostel for 1 night. I was in 12 bed mixed dormitory. The room was okay for the price that i have paid. The issue was they said they will turn on ac after 9 pm but they didn’t. 
The receptionist was nice and friendly. She will be happy to assist you. 
My another issue was i booked from agoda, the price was $17.50 but on arrival they charged $19.50 which was ok for me but many other people were arguing at the reception. They were saying that they charged 10% service charge.
Anyway an okay experience. 

A okay hostel

Are they cheap? Yes. 
Are they comfortable? No.
A big No, the beds are very congested and the rooms are dark except for the dim yellow light turned on in the corner of the dorm. Air conditioning is bad and the beds do smell different. Not much space is available to keep the baggages inside the dorm. If you have many luggages, there are more chances you end up without enough room to keep them. 
Lift services are available, Water cooler is present only at the reception. 
Lots of eateries and shops are available closer to the hostel. The nearest MRT would be Farrer Park MRT. Getting in and around will not be a problem from this hostel. 
Unless you are on a tight budget and have no other options, opt for it.
I stayed in a Mixed Dorm.

Cheap and Worse

The hostel is quite dark and has an unpleasant smell. The room I stayed had bad smell and the aircondition didn't work well. The room actually dark. I actually had an unpleasant stay for 02 nights even I went out for sightseeing for the whole day.

Just a average hostel

One thing I dislike about this hostel is the scheduled A/C interruption. Unlike other hostels, the A/C only works at 9pm-9am. There was a time when I wanted to sleep for the day but could hardly do it due to heat inside the room. Also, the food always runs out fast even if the time for breakfast hasn't ended yet. Another thing is that they should strictly implement house rules for guests in terms of noise. There was one Indian who kept on talking loudly on the phone past midnight! It was so irritating! This was definitely the worst hostel experience that I've ever had. 

Needs Improvement

After reading reviews here I thought this might be ok. It's not.  3 bunk beds in a very small room - not even enough space to open a cabin bag.  Squeaky bunks.  No curtains so lots of light pollution.  Aircon on between 9pm and 9am. Towel is extra $2. Bathroom was overwhelmingly stinky,  dirty with black mold growing up the walls.  Reception is only open during certain hours with charges for service outside those hours. To their credit,  staff were friendly,  lift was fast and internet was good.  There is no rooftop sitting area.  Close to Little India.  Apx 800m from train.  Lots of good food near by.

Last resort.

The hotel has got untidy bunk beds and open wires on top of bunk bed. The floor has big stains and your footwear will often create a problem when you walk on these stains. The girl at reception is rude and is not willing to entertain any kind of request instead argues to a big extent. The location of the hotel is good but ACs doesn't work during the day. 
It doesn't give you a vibe of a hostel at all. I would not recommend this hostel to anyone.

Untidy hotel with rude staff. No essence of hostel for backpackers

Bad experience first time at hostel. Manager was very rude and I have heard many complaints from other tourists. Place bit crammed with other room mates in and out all parts of the day and night. Basic breakfast and bit run down toilets /bath.
