Although there were renovations of a neighboring business ongoing during my stay, the noise did not occur during quiet hours and the rooms were spacious and comfortable, with restaurants, bars and shopping barely a stone throws away in the lively surroundings of the China town district.

Dirty beddings

Very dirty beddings and washrooms. We found layers and layers of different people’s hair on our beddings. It was in a good location if you are fun loving and if you enjoy going out at night for a drink and a bite.

Nice place well situated

For a youth hostel, the place is fantstic. We all have a locker and a lot of space to place our stuff. The breakfast is not big but ok. And it's situated on the best street ever

Stacy

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The air conditioning is ONLY in the sleeping area, not the shower/bathroom area. It is barely cold enough, and when you shut your curtain to keep out the light at night, you block the AC from reaching your bed area. There is one toilet for the floor of around ten people, and two showers which open directly into shared area so nowhere to change. People did not respect the quiet hours during the weekend and continued to talk at points late in the night.

Delayed Planes, Hipstercity made sure the stay was

For a solo traveler wanting to explore two days in Singapore, Hipstercity fit my need perfectly. Unfortunately, my plane was delayed a day from overseas and I didn’t have a way to inform them. Many hotels would cancel your stay if you wouldn’t check in at the reservation time, but they left me a late check in form as well as a key when I arrived at 2am. Such a delight! Free earplugs, but there’s a chance that you may hear some really bad karaoke singing or throbbing bass from the bar downstairs late at night. There’s lots of activity in this area. FANTASTIC coffee in the lobby and some cereal and bread for breakfast. Hotel staff is super.

Clean place to stay

Stayed one night after attending a wedding. Plus point is the beds sligjter bigger than a single and my area had two plug points. Heater and toilets all work. Airconditioning was good. Check in was well thought off and it works automatically. Downside is I did experience noise up to 3 AM from the downstairs pub area..only a problem if ur a light sleeper otherwise not an issue. Would i stay again..yes..for a hostel where everything works why not
