I stayed 3 nights in this hostel during april 2012. It has excellent location near the river (and not far from the famous Merlion). My room was clean, shared bathroom also. Working air conditioning, comfortable bed, advantageous price, good wifi...I dont need more:)

I'm travelling for a quick night stay. Hostel is overall simple and clean. Great location. No further expectation on hostel service as it is just a budgeted stay for backpacker. The room rate consider reasonable based on its location so long not convert Singapore dollar paid.

Hostel is located very near Clarke Quay. Rooms (they are really very small) and bathrooms are very clean and they also offer free internet (in case you don't have laptop or smartphone that is very useful). The staff is also very friendly and helpfull.

It is my 1st trip to Singapore for Universal Studio visit. This place is actually opposite Central shopping mall where Clarke Quay station is located. Next to the backpackers there is a 7-11. The night life is just behind the Mall and it only 5 minutes walking distance from the backpackers. Very beautiful night view! Hot water for the bath... More
