I visited Singapore with my friends for three days and a friend recommended this place. After we read some of the reviews online, we booked the private dorm for the 6 of us. It's affordable! And they got some great reviews from people who had stayed before. But how we have been fooled by those reviews. The place is not... More

Booked a private room at night, the website showed room availability and allowed late check in (after midnight). Called the contact number umpteen times but no one picked up. So we went all the way to the inn, only to find out that the reception counter is closed. Called again but line was cut off. If the reception counter cannot... More

Great location in an amazing city. Really friendly, helpful people and the place is spotless. Rooms a little small and you don't get lockers (unless you pay for them) but can over look this because of the location so close to the CBD and food quarters. Really safe with coded front door and locked rooms. Would 100% stay again. Free... More

For the price we payed it's hard to imagine a better hostel in SG. The staff were very welcoming and friendly and the hostel is very secure (entrance code and cctv). It's only been open for one year or so, so all is quite modern and clean. The dorm beds we slept in were very comfortable and had no bugs.... More

Really nice toilets and showers and the roof garden is brilliant, great place to chill out and watch the sun set! The staff were awesome, so fun and... More

As my first experience in a dormitory I actually slept really well! Everything was really clean: beds, bathroom, toilets,.. and the staff is really friendly and helpful. I booked by internet in the morning saying that I was arriving by night, and they replied straight away with an email confirming the booking and the entrance code which is necessary after... More

We stayed at the Green Kiwi for five nights and had it been cheap to delay out flight, we would have stayed another five without a second thought. Awesome place, with good facilities, and the most wonderful staff (Katie and Nesty) we've encountered anywhere in our travels. Breakfast was delicious, a stellar cup of coffee, fresh fruit, toast... Bathrooms were... More

I stayed with the Green Kiwi for two weeks and can highly recommend spending your time in this great backpacker hostel. The building is centrally located, has a very good connection to public transport (MRT and bus around the corner), and offers all the amenities that you expect today: cozy beds, clean and modern bathrooms/showers, unlimited WIFI, staff that knows...

It was my first time staying at a b&b place in Singapore. Overall, it was okay. They serve bread and fruits for breakfast and the bathrooms are very clean. The bedrooms are okay too. Each bed gets their own lamps at the side. Wifi available but lost connection some time. During my stay, the staff in the morning were more... More
