The matchbox concept was a great home from home while staying in Singapore. Its in a great location 5 mins walks from bustling Chinatown marketplace, MRT station and 2 food courts with lots of cheap food. Its also only a 10-15 min walk from Clarke quay, marina bay etc.. The staff were the friendliest we've found on our travels, giving... More

I have always wanted to try out a hostel that uses the box bed concept. I stayed in the 16-bed dorm and I enjoyed it. Even with many people in one room I had the feeling of privacy. There was AC and I liked the air freshening system. I have to say that the room is a bit small for... More

Every time I visit singapore I stay at this place. Perfect location, as it is located at a quiet corner of Ann Siang Road (Chinatown, the best area of Singapore), you have all the nice bars and clubs just around the corner and is just a short hike (5 min.) from the shopping centre's and business district. Facilities are very... More

Bed linen was clean, 3 pillows! 1 hard, 1 soft and 1 small huggable one. The toilet is clean and hot water is good. Love the surroundings... More

The hostel is in fantastic location in an awesome part of Singapore. You are within walking distance from two MRT stations, 100m from the amazing Maxwell St Hawker stalls and 100m from the lively (but expensive) Ann Siang Hill and Club St. The two temples are also close by and the awesome Smith, Pagoda and Temple streets. Two highlights for... More
