Definitely very outdated and did not look like the pictures. The curtain for my bed looked moldy, there was definitely some sketchy spot on them. The bathroom was also not the cleanest of hostels that I’ve stayed at. I did have an issue checking in, so I had to wait for about 30 mins until I got a response via the chat to get checked in and access the room since there no front desk staff. To be honest I only saw one staff member during my entire 4 night stay, and it was the person who came to clean the bathroom in the late morning. One thing I’ll say is that the location was nice. Especially if you like to go out to bars or late night food. Boat Quay is a great area.

I have been to this Hostel recently and am happy to have stayed again. In the last few months since I last visited, the work that was going on has been completed and the changes are fantastic, the e check-in/out was simple to use, the new common room/ reception is open and bright and the new code access for the dorms require no card that could be lost.
The area is directly in an area with bustling nightlife, filled to the brim with excellent choices for food and drink. The area is loud, but the dorm areas were relatively quiet, all but the lightest sleepers will have no issues dosing of in the comfortable beds.
I did have issues using and getting the code to my rooms safe, but the staff were able to to help me, remember to check you have both the dorm code, your safe code AND how to operate it.
Would definitely recommend here if you want something cheap and cheerful!

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.

Very dirty beddings and washrooms.

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.

This place is okay. If you’re looking for just a bed to sleep in it’s alright. The bed is not comfortable and the bathroom had no ac . It was so unbearably hot in the bathroom you couldn’t be in there for more than 2 minutes without dripping sweat. Our room ac wasn’t on when we arrived so the room was just as hot , thankfully the unit started to cool the room off by the time we went to sleep but the bathroom remained a sauna . The area is decent, walkable to clarke quay, metro, and some cute waterfront restaurants nearby. The staff were nice just didn’t have anyone at the desk most of the time.

My friend and I spent 6 nights at Hipstercity in Singapore before and after our trip to Bali. The affordable price, friendliness of the staff, cleanliness of the facilities, and ease of the check-in/check-out process were all EXCELLENT! I would recommend Hipstercity to anyone who wants to stay comfortably in Singapore for a great price. I’m so glad I found this place on Expedia. Thank you, Hipstercity!

The hostel itself is really nice, clean and well run but their is a club that places music across the street until 4 and then other venues play music through to the morning as well which made it impossible to sleep even with earplugs. We had the double room on the 3rd floor with the street-facing window. Other roomprobably aren't as bad.

Worst experience I had in my life in any hotel. I was sick with hard diaharrea and I had to share a bathroom, that was out of paper very early in the night. I had to change to another hotel I order to not disturb the other clients of the hotel and to have a normal bathroom for somebody with diaharrea. I tried to talk with the hotel and have a refund but it looks that for the hotel is more important 200 USD than the commodity of the other people sharing the bathroom, they prefer somebody threw it up or having to go to the bathroom every 30 minutes and no paper to clean than returning those 200 USD and have all the clients happy. Really knowing how they treat me while I was really sick ( with proofs) I will never recommended nobody to stay here cause you could have in your shared room someone like me bordering you the whole day and the hotel doesn't care. HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE the only black point in my excellent visit to Singapore

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.

Good location and interesting setup

This hostel is a bit expensive for the area and type of accomodation. Nonetheless i would recommend it. The setup is tight with a bed and shelving all stacjed on top of each other, but it still feels like you have privacy. The hostel is clean and centrally located. The breakfast is solid and self-serve (cereal, fruit, toast). My only concern would be around security. There isnt anywhere to store luggage securely and the door to the shared rooms us only locked at night.

Awesome place, they gave us ear plugs on check in. Room was a little warm at that time (but I don’t know any hostel in SEA that’ll air condition mid day)

Decor was creative, bed was super comfy and location was very walkable. Would definitely stay here again. Liked it better then my last trip when I stayed at Arab street area.

When we first arrive in the evening, the street are very noisy. However, it is amazing when we step in the hostel. Everything is clean. We saw a little working corner which is quite cute in the first floor. The bed is in the second floor (connecting by a ladder). There is also complimentary still water at the working corner.

Everything is clean and nice. The host provided us with an earplug to reduce the noise at the street outside. Next morning, when we get up, a free breakfast is provided with cereal, apple and milk. The dining room is clean and very nice with a window looking down to the street. In the morning, all the shops are closed. We love the peaceful moments from the windown of dining room.

I think it worths to stay there. The bathroom an toilet is small but clean and nice with little leaf decoration.

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
