I can say three things positive about this place: decent location, comfortable mattresses, and it's cheap. If you care about only those three things, and I stress only, then maybe this place is worth it for you. Otherwise: the bathrooms were very poorly maintained, the staff was often inattentive, and played loud, obnoxious music at all hours of the day,... More

The boyfriend and I were awake for over 24 hours traveling and just needed to find a bed to crash on. We tried an area across the street from Kallang MRT station. Kallang River Backpackers and City Backpackers Hostel are both owned and run by the same people; they’ve got a great location, but our treatment at their hands was... More

Their staff was very helpful. The place was clean and you'd feel at home compared to other backpacker hostel i've seen. Though there was a set back in terms of bathroom and toiletries, I'd still recommend this for people who has a tight budget. They'd honestly give you great deals in terms of tours. Also, the night shift staff was... More

We stayed for one night in the twin room on the 2nd floor. Overall I found City Backpackers a decent option for a short, relatively inexpensive stay in Singapore. The reception staff were friendly and were expecting us even though we didn't arrive until midnight. The room was clean, the air conditioning worked well and the shared shower / toilet... More

We planned to take the MRT in getting around Singapore, and we found this budget hostel online for around US$108 per day good for 4 pax sharing 2 double decks. No complaints about the location - its a 5 minute walk to the nearest MRT station, beside it is a 7-11 store, and it's walking distance to the popular Chinatown... More

It's a nice backpacker hostel, near MRT-Clarke Quay station, convenience,free wifi. The staffs are friendly, helpful & integrity because of receiving MRT card back that I'd forgotten MRT card at the counter when I checked-in.
