InnCrowd

Little India & Kampong Glam


Wildly popular, the InnCrowd is ground zero for Singapore's backpackers. Located right in the heart of Little India, the highlight of this fairly basic hostel is the free kick-scooter city tours (6pm Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday), a social and fun way to discover Singapore. Staff are very helpful and there are board games, unlimited breakfast and a laundry. Balcony rooms get noisy – request a room without one.
