The girls staff are more friendly with the guys than girls haha.. very funny!! It would be nice if the check in time is at 1pm instead of 2pm. After all the staff just have to change the bed sheet and not vacuuming or cleaning the room. Why need 2 hours to clean? The hostel should have strict rules on the guests to control their loud voice, singing loud early in the morning and being inconsiderate of others in the room when they got up 5am in the morning do some packing arggg its unbearable!

The hostel is nice, staffs are friendly, i stayed in the summer room 4th floor and it was nice :) The only thing bothered me was, there was another guess who did a work out in front of my door only with the towel on, lol! That's not a big deal though, after all, i would like to come back again :)

Thank you for your endoresement of our cleanliness. All our Fernloft hostels are chosen for their strategic locations that offer convenience and culturally rich experience. Little India is a food haven with not only Indian food but also best of other cuisines ranging from Chinese to Muslim, all within walking distances.We are also unable to provide a self-service kitchen due to licensing restrictions. However, we have self-service pantry where you can get hot water and microwave services throughout the day. Once again, thank you for staying with Fernloft. Cheers! Fernloft Little India Team

Good price for Singapore. Farther from the heart of little India than ideal. Located in a quiet area. Seemed full of lots of business travelers instead of backpackers, so we had to find our own fun. Excellent staff.

Thank you for your feedback. At the period of your stay, there was a business conference going on in the city and that's why we received many business travelers. However, we are only glad that these travelers find Fernloft value for money and the facilities are of appropriate standards. We understand that fun, is one element that most backpackers look for. That is why we have created a cozy guests lounge as well as alfresco sitting area where guests can meet fellow travelers from all over the world. We also hold backpackers nite whenever the opportunity arise, so that it provides as an ice breaker for all to meet. Once again, thank you for staying with Fernloft. Cheers! Fernloft Little India Team
