Property Description

River City Inn is located in the heart of the Singapore city, less than 3 minutes walk away from the Singapore River, and 5 minutes walk away from a MRT (tube/metro) train station.

River City Inn is a family-owned and operated hostel. As travellers ourselves, we know that affordability should never compromise hospitality. Everything you need to provide a comfortable stay are available: Free Wi-Fi, Clean Sheets and Air-Conditioning.

But at River City Inn, we aim to offer something more. After you have explored the winding streets of Singapore, experienced the different cultures, delighted your taste buds and worn your shoes under the sweltering heat, we want to welcome you back. We want to offer you a place to unwind, write your journal, talk to other travelers and share stories. We aim not only to provide a bed for the night, but a space for the exchange of ideas, inspirations, personal reflections and growth. Because that is what traveling is about.

Very Good

Lovely staff and very clean but be wary there are a lot of middle aged men who seemed to be staying there long term. To reach the bathroom you need to go through the communal area with all of them sitting there. The sinks are literally in the communal area. As young female travellers we felt a little uncomfortable and would have chosen somewhere else having known this. There were very little female travellers.

I stayed in a 4 bed bunk room. A/C worked fine but was windowless. lockers were okay but not amazing, only big enough for a small backpack. you had to walk up there flights of stairs to get to the hostel. the social atmosphere was non-existent. The place was clean. bathrooms were a bit crammed and felt a bit icky. this hostel served its purpose for me which (a place to sleep for two nights), other than that, I wouldn't expect anything else from your experience here.

Not unclean, but smelly from lots of middle aged men staying long term and heating meals often, since they seem to never leave the hostel. Also the aircon or AC is turned off at 9am and isn't turned back on until 9pm, so if you want a day in you will have no respite from the heat except from a fan. Cheaper than other hostels for a reason
