brilliant location & although shabby, this hostel is kept very clean. as a senior age traveller, i have become rather picky but i would use this hostel again in the future. it was quiet enough at night for a good sleep which is very important to me. tiny but adequate & the air-con worked well. when searching for suitable accommodation, bear in mind that some of the people writing reviews have never been away from home before & they might have unreasonable expectations if they haven't done enough research about the countries they visit. as an old & experienced traveller i know what to expect in different cultures & i find The Trey in Singapore to be of an acceptable standard for the price
