Went there with my business friend, he loved to go backpackers. Actually this is my first time stayed at backpakers hostel. Overall the room is neat and clean, the bathroom also has decent hot shower. The very downside is the wall is very thin, so just pray other guests doesn't make too much noise. Location very near to Lavender MRT,... More

I should warn you first that they don't have elevator. So you better bring anything you can just carry and request for a room that's is not located at the fourth floor! My experience was horrible. I have a trolley that's quite heavy but even with any polite request for assistance, nobody helped me. I just dragged my trolley all... More

We were 4 nights staying at Mercury Backpackers in a small room on the ground floor. Pour experience: The walls were as thin as a sheet of paper. You could here everything, even whispering. There was a very moldy smell in the room. We were there only for the night and happy not to be there one day longer. The... More

We stayed three nights in Mercury (still inside for the last morning). At first we thought the place is okay, in some ways even good. Room was very small but clean and clean were the common areas, toilets and showers aswell. Girl in the front desk was very friendly. After a day out and coming back for a good night... More

I was very pleased with this place. The price was decent, the rooms were clean, there were lockable storage cabinets and a fun rooftop area. The 4-bed dorms are (needless to say) /tiny/ but the beds were comfy. There weren't windows in the rooms I saw...which makes me a little concerned for fire safety but really helped make a quiet,...

First of all, as it is a backpackers place, and as I have been backpacking a lot, I wasn't for sure expecting a real hotel, so my disappointment doesn't come from too high expectations. But the place doesn't look like the website at all !! First thing, the website displays a "breakfast included" mention, which is not true !! The... More

When you are hot and sticky and hauled yourself through rush hour transit, sometimes all you want is to soak in some water. I booked this place because it was one of the few places to offer a jacuzzi, as well as a roof top. But on arrival, I asked that they said it wasn't working. They said it'd been... More

Stayed here for three days on a short trip to SG. Early warning, not not listen to what the ads on the window say. Like other reviews, I can confirm that the jacuzzi is still not working and that breakfeast is not included. Having said that, the place is really clean ! Short walk from Lavender station and doesnt take... More

Singapore has a notoriously high hotel prices, and for the budget conscious person, this is I believe, one of the best finds I ever made. The prices are really cheap, location to MRT is very near, a safe and quiet neighborhood, and very accommodating service. Staff are very helpful and friendly, and they will assist you in your needs.

This is a great place to stay especially if you are travelling in groups! A few walks from MRT station, as well as some family restaurants and fast food chains. Safe and quiet environment too, that's a plus!! Staff were friendly and accommodting. Room we had and I believe most of the rooms were small, just enough for 2 bunk... More
