Empire Hostel Reviews

The place is hard to find is the only weakness i found in this hostel. Great place to stay if you are backpacker.

Switch on some soft music would create better enviroment.

hostel is good, cleanliness, near MRT Farrer about 1km, Mustafa. See it again soon

Very cheap rooms, ours was a private twin and was tiny, only just enough room to squeeze past the bed and our luggage but for the price this is not a bad choice. The bathrooms were cleaned daily and were always very hygienic. Free breakfast is just toast and jam and cereal with some dodgey make-your-own milk from powder, but there is a fridge you can put your own in. Good location with MRT easily walkable or most places walkable if you're saving cash as we were. Good choice for price.

Eventhough it says that ALL rooms are with AC, this is not true. Our room did not and even though they had an available room with AC they wanted double up on the price. We decided to leave, and even then she was reluctant to give back the prepaid money.... Not worth going here as there are many better solutions just a tad more expensive in the near vicinity. Love to all travellers

Pros: Price is very reasonable; Very convenient to find shopping & eating places, close to train stations (Fahrer and Lavender) and bus stops. Cons: Showers & Toilets could have been made better (door is flimsy, racks should be provided for putting soap and shampoo and towels); found a little mice in the room; the building is fully enclosed (no fresh air); shoe-racks should be provided so people don't clutter staircase with shoes and sandals; main entrance door should be made more secure.

Good location (10 min wa;k from the subway) and easy to find. Clean but small rooms. Nice place and no party hostel. A little bit annoying: tax is not included in the hostelworld-price and you have to pay more if you stay just for 1 night.

Nice, small little hostel. Air conditioning in or room wasn't brilliant but still cooled the room down by the morning. Security lockers provided. All other facilities were good, staff friendly and as were other guests. Would stay again.

stayed here for 6 nights. staff is kind. the environment was ok but saw a mouse ran in the living room. location is very good. two stations away from city hall very convient. bad thing is there are many karaoke down stairs,quiet noisy.

There should be one more pc available for guests, the air conditioning in the common are could be turned on because it was very hot in there.

I really enjoyed during my stay in Empire Hostel, but i hope they will have electric plug inside the room..

best location and affordable

Near Mustafa Center, a supermaket where you can buy something to eat if you want to have a cheapest dishes per day. Going to SIN for travel as backpacker, you can choose this hostel because of your good sleep and feel quite better at next trip day.

No sign to find the hostel after coming there. The stairs to level 2 is a suicide staircase. Hostel may face lawsuits if anything happen to anyone. No electrical power points in rooms. The dining room is good. Toilets are small but clean.

A small hostel but clean, quite and comfortable. There's a free massage chair for you to relax after a sightseeing day. Mrs.Sue, the hostess is so kind. You can use aircon 24/24h not like other places. It's a good place for backpacker who do not care too much about the space of room. However, it's a little far to MRT Lavender (about 1km - 15min on foot), but to MRT Farrer Park is nearer (about 600m - 8min on foot).

Its actually a nice budget place to stay. The staff is very kind and accommodating. The only problem is the transportation mode since I am keen of using MRT, it is not that near both Lavender and Farrer Park station but it is manageable to walk except if you have a lot of big bags and children. But you can take a cab/taxi though. And I believe there is also a bus stop nearby. It is surrounded by shops which is open 24 hrs and Mustafa Centre is very near. Nice stay and hope to stay again soon.

the hostel location was too hard to find. the entry gate was not representative as good hostel. actually we were upset about the price, because we assumed that the publish rate included the service tax.

The facilities in the Hostel are reasonable when compared with the Fee.The stair area is dark and therefore difficult to find the steps clearly.
