This is a Trusted Review. Why?

I stayed service world hostel for four nights. The hostel is very clean, and location is close to Chinatown MRT station and Outram Park MRT station. It is convenient to take MRT. What's more, it is safe. In addition, breakfast is not good, and I only drink the instant coffee. But it is a little noisy because level 1 is repairing around service world hostel.
