Top choice in Little India & Kampong Glam
This popular hostel is spick and span, with comfy beds in a pod formation and super-helpful staff. The location is quiet but hip (you'll find decent coffeeshops and bars nearby), just moments from three MRT stations and hyperactive Little India. Choose from 12- to 14-bed mixed dorms, or six-bed women-only dorms. Motivational wall quotes will keep you inspired.
Check the website for deals and book well in advance.
