Best Value Award

Early this month, we received an email from Hostelbookers, saying we won an award in March 2010. We thought it was a hoax or something.. ha ha... but after clarifying further, we found out that it was indeed a legit award. Although surprised with this pleasant recognition, gladly we receive it. We are only opened on 14th Feb 2010, so, to be able to get an award, was quite a bonus. :)

So what's the award we got?

*drum roll*

Upgrades! Upgrades! Upgrades!

Been a while since I wrote something... well, busy busy busy... Thanks to all the good ratings and reviews, a beary good hostel is almost fully booked every single day, so it has been fantastic! Thanks so much for all your support. Love you all! :)

Well, we have just turned 3 months old since opening our doors to the world on 14th February!! We continuously try to upgrade ourselves and gather feedback from our valued guests and one of those commonly received comments that we have been getting is that our aircon is too cold! Well, some guests like it really cold cos of the hot and humid weather in Singapore and some like it warm and cosy.. so, trying to please everybody as usual, we decided to upgrade the blankets!!! And as we are a backpacker's hostel, budget has always been an issue, and we are no 5 star hotel (maybe we could try opening one, 10 years later perhaps!! A Beary Good Hotel!! ha ha!) but we try our best to provide top quality services and products and continue to maintain affordable price for our dear budget travellers! These quilts are not cheap, mind you!!

So, here it is!! Our latest addition... nice, warm fluffy quilts!! (we still provide fleece blankets on top of this for guests who needs double warmth, so just request for it from our beary friendly host). Hope this will keep our guests super cosy and enjoy a good night sleep.

Too TOO WARM : {

Wearing a tank top and sitting under a ceiling fan does not make for a cool Pa : {

It's half 3 on a Wed morning and I am trying to get work done. This heat is not helping at all!!! Ah well, shouldering on.

JackAss is on and I wonder why it even got made into a movie. Not just 1 but 3 of 'em. Guess watching the lads making a fool of themselves is funny : )

I wonder if anyone actually reads our blog. Drop us a line eh. We welcome feedback. Tell us what you'd like to see on our blog. Till then, back to work : )
