We stayed at Ali’s Nest in September 2010 for a couple of weeks. Ok, so the accommodation is basic (located on the 1st and 2nd floors) – we had a double room on the top floor of the ‘nest’ above the kitchen and lounge. We had a double mattress (no frill’s on the floor kind!) with air con (a must... More

Ali's Nest was a clean and friendly place to stay in Singapore. Ali is a helpful, warm and hospitable host. The rooms were basic and functional but clean. Shared bathroom facilities - clean and equipped with hot and cold water. Tea and coffee available all day and 'breakfast' included (modest spread of bread and jams). Nice kitchen/lounge area to meet... More

Ali's place is a very surprising place. First when you enter everything is quiet, but as soon as we climbed up the stairs Ali welcomed us very nicely. He offered us breakfast (we were staying one night but arrived very early the first day so it was two free breakfast). Ali is very helpful and the classical music is perfect... More

Ali´s Nest is a lovely home-stay for people that like to meet other backpackers and people that like to enjoy little India and the lovely food and atmosphere that comes with it. I first meet Ali in 1999 the first time i stayed there, at that time i was a backpacker. Now i could stay in a more fancy hotel... More

We were recommended this place from travellers planet in Melaka. It was the cheapest in Singapore that we found and a great little place to stay. It's a homestay and the guy is really friendly. Good atmosphere and a brilliant location in little India, so much yummy food around. The other guests were all chilled and friendly too, I think... More

Me and my boyfriend stayed in this hostel, Alis Nest, for four nights. The feeling there was so nice and relaxed and the price so nice compared to other hostels in Singapore. Alis Nest is situated in Little India and very close to everything you need. We loved SIngapore and we loved Alis Nest. We almost felt like home thanks... More

Why do I (and many others) keep returning to stay at Ali's Nest, time & time again as we pass through Singapore? Many good reasons why I stayed there several times this year (and last year, and the year before that . . .). Its location in Little India is a perfect stone's throw from Farrer Park MRT Exit E,...

This place was great value for money - Ali is a friendly and welcoming host and the place has an excellent location, right by the MRT. The air con is a bit noisy - they could do with sorting that out. But the bathrooms are spotless and there is always tea, coffee and toast in the morning. All in all,... More
