Need urgent and honest feedback about this hostel from any current or previous occupants of Evans Lodge in Singapore.

They want deposits and money but wont allow me to look at the place UNTIL i have paid the deposit. I said i want to check it out first for my friend, to see the condition of the place and they refuse to let me see it.

I've read one review so far- which was very bad, so will appreciate feedback soonest as i have to go and pay the money on monday on behalf of my friend.

I have been there before (visited my friend). The Evan Lodge room is small and I thougt that's expensive because the location near to the NUS (10 minutes walks).
