Perfect 10 !
Stay at this hostel for a night and I just feel like home. I feel that I can just stay inside this hostel without going out. It's all there. Furthermore the receptionist are all very friendly and helpful. They speak good English and Madarin too. 
The location is perfect for us because very near to MRT. Food and shopping is not a problem.
