City Backpackers Singapore is a good place to stay with its location being near if not at the center of Sinagpore's business district. Having a breakfast together with their very modest rate of accomodation is a plus, I just hope they could provide a variety of spreads aside from peanut butter and strawberry jam. As a whole, I enjoyed my stay and will most likely stay there again should I go back to Singapore.

Too bad, the staff still have the mentality of 'look up whites' When they deal wth the Asian, I don't see any smile nor being helpful. Bad choice.

Well basically we had a great time in Singapore and one of the most important factors of our great experience was our hostel which gave us the great assistance, comfort and energy to boost up our everyday journey of fun and enjoyment. Big thanks to the staff of City Backpacker’s especially Adam and the Indian guy who treat us so well. And thank you also for the great breakfast toast and coffee which really boosted our everyday adventure.

Our first booking for this hostel was cancelled on arrival because of overbooking and we were transferred to another hostel across the street (city center backpackers). Not very nice, especially because the other hostel wasnt too good for this price. Our second stay was ok. Staff is really nice, the double room is very good aswell. But showers and toilets could be cleaner. Breakfast was ok, but there was no good place to have it. We couldnt eat on the terrace because it was raining.

good experience overall. Had beef about the bathrooms--not too clean. There was hair and bad smell. The absence of an elevator was also a problem for ppl like us who stayed on the fourth floor. But the room was nice and air-conditioned. Staff was friendly. Internet was fast.

waste basket in a toilet should check more often because on the afternoon (half day) is already full with the tissue so the garbage is overflow everywhere & i think the room is quite small in all type of rooms so it's very narrow when we bring a large suitcase. but overall this is a good hostel anyway...
