Great staff. Hospital levels of cleanliness. Hotel is above a coffee shop so free coffee with every stay. Don't try and go directly to the hotel to book. They don't have a reception.

The check in and check out SOP is good. The room is very clean and very comfortable, the location is strategic, inside very happening area It is 3 minutes away from the Kek Lok Si Tempe’s cable car. In the morning, there are various foods nearby, walking distance to the famous laksa. Very recommended to those who want to visit Kek Lok Si Temple.

The room was spacious, confortable and clean! The common spaces were really modern and it was pleasant to chill there. We had access to drinking water, coffee and tea. The location was everything! We were walking everywhere as the old town is just around the corner. You also have access to multiple really tasty restaurants all around the neighborhood. I recommend this place!

Absolutely everything! The place was new, clean, lovely finishings and great lighting. The air conditioning worked well. They offered free coffee and snacks every day for guests. They allowed early check in when our room was ready and all the staff were so lovely. We actually moved from a previous accomodation that was terrible and we were so happy when we arrived to Amore Stay. Fantastic location, wonderful owners. Would definitely stay again!

This is the cutest hostel! They had such good communication via WhatsApp to ensure we there safely. The shared area is nice with a microwave, kettle, coffee and milo. They buy bread or treats to share on the dining table. They gave us earplugs and a toothbrush. The bathrooms are clean and tidy. They also left a little welcome note on the bed. Honestly, the perfect place to stay!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
