A pretty good location, very friendly and helpful staff,and clean rooms made our stay in Singapore and the River City Inn excellent. We would recommend it to anyone looking for a nice and quiet stay. The only thing that travellers should know is that this place has a very quiet atmosphere. It is not unfriendly, but you should not necessarily... More

This by far is one of the best hostels I have stayed at. As soon as we walked through the door we got such a nice and warm welcome. The staff were very helpful. The showers are very clean and warm. The toilets are clean. We stayed in the 26 bed dorm which was also extremely clean. The beds were... More

This place came recommended by a friend and I'm really glad i stayed here. Its spotlessly clean, safe and attracts a fun and chill crowd. Lovely common area and great location. Staff is also really nice. Would stay here again and recommend to a friend!

The hostel near by MRT station, Clarke Quay, and China town; even if you are a walking freak you can go around to interesting area like Merlion park, Esplanade, Marina Bay... More

Had a very wonderful experience staying here. Everything is good, except for only 1 thing, that was, there was no elevator to go up when the Inn is located on 4F. Luckily my dad was strong and he could manage with our luggages. But it might be hard for a group of girls

Actually I did stay one night in this hostel last year, this time I decided to stay 3 night. As usual once you step in, they will offer you a cold drink, then guide you around. The place is extremely clean, there is 2 wall socket next to every bed, so charging is not an issue. Location is very good,... More

I've stayed at and worked in hotels (including 5 star) that aren't as clean as River City Inn. Let's start with entering the door. To enter you either need to swipe your locker card or press the door bell button -- very safe and secure. Adrian, working the desk, immediately welcomed me and asked me to wait one moment. He...

I stayed three nights with a friend - it was my friend's first time staying in a hostel, and I can say that she had quite a nice experience. The staffs are friendly and helpful, and the place is very clean - especially the bathroom. It's very close to the MRT station - which is the vital thing that makes... More

I simply sent the hostel an email and booked two nights. At our arrival, we were nicely greeted by a lady who was very helpful and professional. There are only 3 common showers and 3 toilets for quite a lot of people but they are extremely well maintained. They also provide free shampoo and shower gel. There is a fridge,... More

you do not need to find another place to stay if you're in the market for a hostel. great location. great staff. the large 26-bed dormitory is quieter than most libraries I know. the shared showers are so clean that i felt no need to use my shower slippers.
