My stay at K2 Guesthouse Central was quite disappointing. The location was convenient, being close to the bus terminal and public transportation, but the overall cleanliness and service left much to be desired. I experienced issues with the room condition and felt quite uncomfortable during my time there.

Rooms

The room was pretty messy, with dirt under the mattress and hairs on the beds. The curtains didn't block out light properly, making it tough to sleep.

Service

I had trouble getting in touch with staff and had to rely on another guest for help when I arrived late at night. Plus, they weren't especially friendly or accommodating.

I had a decent stay at K2 Guesthouse Central, enjoying its proximity to the Jalan Besar MRT station and the lively Berseh Food Centre. The beds were comfortable enough, and the capsule design provided a bit of privacy. However, I did find the bathroom cleanliness and the small pod size a bit concerning. Overall, it's a budget-friendly option for travelers willing to compromise a bit on facilities.

Rooms

8.0

The capsule beds were cozy and provided some privacy, but the space felt cramped for my height. Additionally, the air conditioning was just right, which I appreciated.

Service

7.0

The reception staff were generally nice and helpful, and I found the key card system to be efficient. Still, I wished there were more people available during the night when I had questions.

Location

Being just a short walk from the MRT and a bus stop made getting around really easy, which I loved. There’s plenty to see around the area.

The common area on the first floor was nice for chilling, but the bathrooms left much to be desired in terms of cleanliness. Also, the wifi was a bit hit or miss.

I had a mixed experience at K2 Guesthouse Central. The location was fantastic, close to the MRT and food options, but I encountered several issues with the service and room cleanliness. The atmosphere felt more like a boarding house than a hostel, and I was disappointed with the bed conditions. Despite the affordable rates, I would recommend being cautious when staying here. 🏨😅

Rooms

5.0

I booked a dorm room with 6 beds, which was quite cramped. Although I wanted privacy, I ended up sharing with others because of room availability issues. The beds felt unsafe, especially the upper bunk. The room wasn't cleaned properly either, which contributed to an uncomfortable stay.

Service

5.0

The staff were not very friendly and I had issues with room management. My initial request for a specific bed was ignored, and the keys were a security concern as they could open my room without permission. It's clear that customer service could use some improvement.

Location

9.0

On the positive side, the location was excellent. Just a short walk to the Jalan Besar Metro station and various food courts. Everything worth seeing was really close by, making it easy to explore. 🌍

Dining

7.0

The breakfast was decent, offering cereal, bread, and spreads. It was a good start to the day, especially with the option to refill water.

Facilities

5.0

While there were some necessary facilities, like laundry services, cleanliness was lacking. Shared bathrooms needed more attention, and the lack of an elevator made moving heavy luggage a hassle.

My stay at K2 Guesthouse Central had its ups and downs. The location near Jalan Besar MRT and local eateries was excellent, making it easy to explore Singapore. However, the pod-style accommodations felt cramped, and the bathroom cleanliness left much to be desired. While the price was reasonable for my stay, I would have appreciated better facilities and service overall.

Rooms

5.0

The pod in the shared room was quite small, and I found it a bit uncomfortable as a taller person. Although the air conditioning was decent, the cramped space didn't provide much extra length on the bed. I did experience some issues with leaking water from the air conditioning.

Service

5.0

Initially, the service was quite lacking since I arrived late at night and there was no staff available to assist with check-in. Thankfully, another guest helped me out, but I felt the lack of a keycard for access to the rooms was quite inconvenient during my stay.

Location

8.0

I really liked the location! It was only about 200 meters from Jalan Besar MRT station and a short walk to Bugis. Being close to local markets made it easy to grab food and explore the area.

Dining

5.0

Breakfast was very basic with self-service toast and milk provided. While it was nice to have, I found it underwhelming and had to take care of my own cleaning afterwards.

Facilities

5.0

Facilities were quite mediocre. The bathrooms were not well-maintained, and the overall cleanliness was lacking. There was a paid laundry facility, but I found the need for additional amenities to be a drawback.

My stay at K2 Guesthouse Central was a mixed experience. While the location is convenient and close to many attractions, the cleanliness and overall management of the space left much to be desired. The facilities were basic, and I felt a bit unwelcomed during my time there.

Rooms

I stayed in a mixed dormitory and found it quite messy. The floor was filthy, and there were hairs in the bed. Additionally, the bathroom facilities were in dire need of more frequent cleaning.

Service

5.0

The lack of staff presence was frustrating, especially when I arrived late at night. Although a fellow guest helped me find my room, the overall support from the staff was lacking, with poor English skills adding to the difficulties.

Location

The guesthouse is very conveniently located near a metro station and several tourist attractions, making it easy to explore the city.

Dining

The breakfast was self-service with basic options like bread and milk, which was okay but not amazing. I had to clean up after myself, which felt a bit off for a hostel.

Facilities

The facilities were extremely basic, and I noticed several lockers didn’t work properly. The lack of proper ventilation in the rooms made the stay quite uncomfortable.
