Couldn't recommend this hostel as the rooms are too basic for the cost. Position is only average still a $20 ride to the Airport. Staff are very friendly but for the cost I think I would go to a Hotel, particularly if there are 2 of you.

We stayed there for two nights on the way from Australia to Europe. Good location between the airport and the inner city. The rooms are basic, but clean and the breakfast is free and good. The guys there help you with travel tips and it has a nice roof top terace.

Okay, the rooms may feel a little claustrophobic, but they are neat and clean, as well as the showers & toilets. Staff is really friendly and the aircon's are doing their job to keep the place cool. Location is good, with two metro stations a 10 min walk away. Recommended.

Location was great, breakfast was good and included. Beds were in small rooms and slightly cramped, but not the worst, Air con worked and the atmosphere was good but not a party scene. The staff helped us figure out what to do in my limited time in singapore. There is a great hawker market across the street with cheap food... More

The staff at this hostel are the friendliest and most helpful staff we have had so far on our trip whether hotel or hostel. They make a point to learn your name, and just make sure your stay is as good as possible. The beds are comfy and the shower and toilets are perfectly good, and clean. The location is... More

We had a hotel reserved in Singapore for 3 nights and then decided to arrive 2 nights earlier. Our reserved hotel did not have availability for the additional nights so we stayed in the Green Kiwi for two nights. The staff were so friendly and helpful. They gave us suggestions of things to do and places to eat. We had... More

Absolute rubbish. Staying at this place drastically tarnished my stay in Singapore. I opted to stay at this accommodation over the Fragrance Hotel which is normally more expensive but had a cheap offer. I chose the kiwi because of its glowing advertising (which turned out to be vastly different to reality). The mattress on the bunk bed was so thin... More

I was greeted in a genuine manner ad with a warm smile by Ann when I arrived. Everything was fully explained to me and nothing is too much trouble for the staff here. The bedrooms were a little smelly and aircon I always on so can get chilly. Bathroom clean but toilet doors not fix and lockable. Free wifi and... More
