For me, services are very important. With a few comparison, I decided to book with River City Inn. Once I arrived at River City Inn, there is no doubt that I have made the best choice for my first hostel in Singapore. Lucky. The environment is homely, friendly, comfortable and clean! as mentioned by all reviewers. For any backpackers, location... More

Staying in River City Inn was my first experience at a backpacker hostel, and I could say that it was awesome. The room was neat, and my blanket was folded whenever I came back, bathroom was absolutely clean and owners are friendly.

Its a perfect place! Love the strategic location across Centrall Mall and near the MRT station within 5 minutes walking. Try the dormitory room for 27 new friends you will find while you were sleeping! Though you have to climb up 3 stairs to reach the place it will pay off with the cleanliness and chic minimalist interior you'll find.... More

Since it is difficult to find a reasonable priced hotel in Singapore I was pleased to find the River City Inn. I had a bed in the dorm which was convenient enough. It's just a stroll down the street to get to the next restaurants and since the City is fairly small to begin with you can take a cab... More

I can't fault this hostel. The staff are welcoming, friendly and helpful. They clean the whole place several times a day so it is always immaculate. They serve a good western-style breakfast everyday from 6-12 for free. Coffee, tea, hot chocolate and chilled drinkable water is avaliable 24 hours a day. The dorm rooms are really nice with clean, new... More

I booked the 4-people room that shows as "private room" on hostelbookers.com, but it has no ensuite bathroom. The location of the room is right across the living room. I could hear people walking around until 2 am. Plus, I had to check out at 4:30 am and was asked to return my keys at night instead of in the... More

Hi. Before booking, we're little afraid of staying in room with 24 beds, but this was thew only price-value solution. But after 3 nights here, we can write that's perfect hostel. I can give only positive feedback. This hostel rules. Perfect location, perfect service. You just feel like home. Staying in room with 24 beds doesn't bother at all. Greets.... More
