HIPSTERCITY HOSTEL, Singapore

The hostel sits on a lively street lined with restaurants and bars, a 10-minute walk from Clarke Quay and a 14-minute walk from the Chinatown Heritage Centre. Popular landmarks like the National Gallery Singapore, Sri Mariamman Temple, and St Andrew's Cathedral are all within walking distance. Changi Airport is about 25-30 minutes away by taxi or roughly 1 hour 15 minutes via MRT. The location scores an excellent 9.0 for its central position and connectivity.

All beds are housed in individual cubicles with a privacy curtain, providing a sense of personal space. The double room has one double bed; the triple room has two single beds. The loft-bed design offers storage space underneath with a dedicated desk and wardrobe. Each bed includes a safety deposit box, air conditioning, and soundproof walls. The shared bathrooms on each floor have one toilet and two showers with limited privacy (frosted glass, no locks). Some rooms may have no windows. The property is adults-only, ensuring a quieter environment. While the design is practical, noise from the street and interior can travel, and earplugs are provided at check-in.

A simple self-serve breakfast is offered in the pantry area, including bread, spreads, coffee, and tea at no extra cost. Complimentary coffee and tea are also available throughout the day in the communal lounge. There is no restaurant, bar, or kitchen on site, but the surrounding streets are packed with affordable eateries and hawker centres within a 5-minute walk, offering a wide range of local cuisine.

The first-floor lounge is decorated in a quirky superhero theme and offers a comfortable area to socialise, work, or unwind. Board games and puzzles are available for entertainment. There is no gym, pool, or spa on site, but the central location makes it easy to explore Singapore's parks and attractions on foot or by public transport.

Internet access is free and reliable across the property. Luggage storage is provided before check-in and after checkout at no charge, though it is not secured. The hostel uses 24/7 self check-in with key card access and CCTV security. Safety deposit boxes are built into each cubicle. Reception is staffed from 9am to 6pm; after hours, assistance is available via WhatsApp. Laundry service costs $7 per load (wash and dry). The property is non-smoking, adults-only, and does not allow pets.
