The hostel is conveniently located about 5 minutes away from the nearest MRT station (Lavender). The Filipino hostel attendants were very courteous and welcoming and will try to see if your needs are tended to. I was even offered an upgrade to a 4-bed mixed room as my original 8-bed mixed room was not available at that time when I arrived. Since there's no lift facility, the stairs to the hostel entrance is a challenge though but the overall feature of the hostel makes up for the lack of it.

I had a few reservations after staying here but I have been assured by management they have now been remedied since my first review. The main one was only one 2slice toaster to serve 40 people at breakfast.The other was the consistently wet floors in the toilets and basin area,it was easy to slip and hurt yourself. This hostel is NOT fully AC as advertised although the dorm rooms are.Expect showers and toilets in the kitchen area. Handy location and useful information easily available.

Staff very friendly and helpfull. The room (8 beds) is big, with fan and air condition and cleaned. The beds are very comfortable. The hostel is not closed to CBD, but it's just 5 min walking from a train station. It's a perfect accomodation at low price ... quality is assured!

We had a great time at Backpackers SG! The service was great, it was clean and nice. Free wifi! Breakfast could have been better with some fruits and juice :) Location is great, just around the corner from the metro.

It was my second time at backpackers @ sg and I can say my stay here has been so relaxing and the staff always made me feel comfortable. The ambiance was nice, good breakfast and very clean room. The place is very accessible as it is very close to mrt and very near to famous landmarks.

The staffs were very friendly and the hostel was very clean. However I just hoped there were more shower rooms and toilets.

My first time in Singapore and had a nice vacation since I had a right choice of hostel to stay in, very much recommendable. The receptionist is very much accomodating to the extent that she even gave me a toothbrush for free since i forgot to bring one. The breakfast is simple but yet I'm satisfied, Thank you Marichu!

ห้องพักสะอาด พนักงานดูแลดีมาก เป็นครั้งแรกที่ผมกับน้องพักโรงแรมแบบนี้ แต่ที่พักอยู่ไกลไปนิดถ้าอยู่หลายวันอาจจะเทียวไม่สนุกเพราะอยู่ไกลจากสถานีเทียวแต่ไม่ไกลจากรถไฟฟ้าเท่าไร 5
