Very Poor
It was a mattress on the floor which they tried to call a European Futon. in a small room with no place for luggage and a very small space for walking. maybe eighteen inches. Photographing from above as in the ads giving the impression of a bed. but it is just a house in the suburbs, quite far from the city centre. We decided not to stay there because a mattress on a floor in a very tiny room. and don't go if you are allergic to cats. something else they neglected to say. When I decided to leave upon seeing the room they demanded one nights payment, which would have been fair if they had not misrepresented the place. There attitude and their words was caveat emptor, buyer beware. and the refused to return my passport without payment. so I became angry with them. and agreed when they offered to call the police, whose attitude was that it was not a police matter. I did offer to compromise and pay half the room rate, but they were unreasonable and uncompromising. Holding my passport for ransom. I have stayed in more than a hundred hostels throughout Asia of various quality and this is the only one where I could not even stay one night!

Wonderful chill-out place! Will return soon!
We thought One Florence Close had a very well thought-out design, with a subtle retro feel. Very clean, homey (cute cats!), chill, and unpretentious. Owners are helpful but unobtrusive. Wonderful location beside subway, mall, and bus station to Malaysia. We went to the bowling alley and arcade round the corner, it was fun! Ask about the WingTai warehouse where they have various factory sales year round too, we found great bargains from Topshop, Dorothy Perkins, and Nike during the few days we stayed.

Lovely hostel, lovely people, lovely cats!
Great place to stay. A very clean, safe, small, family-run hostel. The rooms are simply, but have a TV and the pillows are so comfortable! There are only six rooms though so get in there quick! we really enjoyed our time here.

One Florence Close is a cracking new guesthouse that really deserves to be successful due to the amount of work and minute attention to detail that has gone into making this place both stylish and practical. The rooms are compact but completely self-efficient and like the rest of the place, immaculately kept. There is a small kitchen for guests who want to self-cater and a supermarket opposite the MTR station less than a 5 minute walk away. The shared bathrooms are small but super funky and spotlessly clean. Cynthia & Evon really made us feel at home and were extremely helpful and personable. All in all, a fantastic little place that we would recommend to anyone!

One Florence Close is a gem of a hostel and a real breath of fresh air (must have been the cheery green wall). If you are looking for a chilled-out and restful place this is it. We had stayed in another hostel located in Little India the last time but the surrounding area was just too noisy, crowded and dirty for us. Fabulous design by the architect-owner (I love the funky dancefloor tiles and powerful shower!), great food, warm owners and freakingly close to the MRT! Even details like towel rails, mirrors and double locks etc. are all provided in the rooms. One Florence Close is located in a pretty residential area away from the hustle and bustle, and superbly convenient with a big supermarket, mall and large food centre just across the road. There is even a bus service to Malaysia and Thailand, which we took to Kuala Lumpur. Highly recommended to anyone who is coming to Singapore. We are already spreading the word!
