A big shame for Expedia to advertise Indie Hostel as it is the worst,dirtiest place i had ever been in my life..We had arrived almost 10pm with beds so dirty with someone still on it and the whole place is so yucky dirty filthy and everything you touch is dirty.With Corona virus going on at the moment,hygiene is negative.

1. The feeling of unsafe, because the bunks stairs are way to stiff, 2. only a curtains thay doesn't close properly no privacy 3. bunk beds that very close to each other, curtains are the only partitions 4. Mixed hostel, either way not too safe if you are a female guests 5. Hallways too narrow 6. Guests lounge/dining doesn't look clean and can only fit 4 people 7. Bathroom ony 2 in total, not very inviting to do your nature business 8. Outside premises, is a turned off cigarette butt and some rubbish littered 9. Not recommended for a female guests

Disliked: Amenities
The pictures made it look like separate rooms. So, when we ordered a "quad room", we expected a room for 4 people. This was the case, but it was really a huge room with bedsheets separating the "quad rooms" from each other. A bit pricey for what it was. Location was good. Breakfast was a joke. Toast (and the 2nd morning there wasn't even toast, just butter and jam).

If the Army discovered that one of its barracks was this run down, they would condemn it and burn it down to prevent the spread of bugs.

Thank you for the very creative review on your stay with us. Good thing we are a hostel & not a army barrack to have anyone destroy what the management & staff put in to make this place a comfortable & safe environment.

Thank you for sharing your feedback however we need to clarify that we do not have dormitories for females only. All our areas are mixed dormitories. & we do have female guests living on the premises as well. Also, as we have advertised, our reception is operational only from 7.30am to 7pm daily. Although we do not have a staff mending the reception, we do have an in house staff & our hostel is well equipped with CCTV cameras & main door keycard system to prevent non-staying guests from entering the premises. It is unfortunate that you do not find comfort in our hostel (where like most hostels cannot control snorers). We do hope you enjoyed the rest of your visit in Singapore. Wishing you safe travels!

Convenient for Little India and good value
Extremely convenient and good value place to stay in Little India. Indie is immediately across the road from Jalan Besar MRT metro station, so very easy for transport. Reception is not manned at night, but Morna was very helpful and it was very easy to "self check in" in the middle of the night and find my bed. The hostel is very basic, but good value for money. There was good wifi.

Great Experience
Stayed here for a night. The two ladies, Kash and Mona were very welcoming. They actually provide with great insights about the area. They even make sure your luggage and belonging are kept safe. The place was well maintained and clean. Never stayed in a hostel before but this was a great experience. It’s a minute walk from Jalan Besar MRT station and centrally located. Highly recommended if you Just there with a group of mates and looking to stay at a cheap and clean place.

Плацкартный вагон с отличными проводниками
Район, где расположен хостел находится в очень удобном месте. В пешей доступности много достопримечательностей. Рядом две станции метро. Хостел напоминает плацкартный вагон: длинный коридор, где расположены трехярусные кровати. Тесновато. Есть сейф. Ваш комфорт сильно зависит от того, какая кровать и где вам достанется. На прикрепленной фотографии, можно увидеть самые неудачные места. Персонал на высшем уровне: прислушиваются к пожеланиям и стараются помочь. Из-за пятичасовой задержки рейса, у меня был поздний check in. На почту пришло письмо с подробными инструкциями, как заселиться самостоятельно. Всё получилось. Есть завтрак. Да, это тосты с джемом. Поверьте, это роскошь, ведь Сингапур один из самых дорогих городов мира.
