The staff is totally friendly, but the Room (8Bed female Dorm) was really not mine. Dirty and i got the feeling, that i was the only real ,,Backpacker" there. The others looked liked, if they´re living there. Everywhere big boxes of food, and it was eaten in the room, where there was no window. Some of the toilet doors couldn´t... More

This hostel is located in a back alley, with a creaky but working elevator, and rooms that look out onto dumpsters in alleyways. However, it is good value for maybe one or two nights' stays, especially if you're planning on being out all day and not spending much time in the hostel room. The service is fabulous, the staff are... More

Room in Ideal backpacker not really big. I get room in the first floor and the toilet not really clean. But it is ok for one until two days. The added value for this hostel that the wifi so fast. After we put password, directly the wifi getting on in my phone. Since we need more information about singapore, this... More

The only Ideal thing about this place was that the room had AC and that it could be on all day if you were there. And Faizal's service (he was at the front desk in the morning) Other than that, terrible. The toilets and showers were filthy, and the only time I saw a lady cleaning she was just lazily... More

untidy place and poor customer service. period stains on the sheets and poorly maintained toilets. on the other hand, there's free wifi and the location is great, just a few minutes walk to kallang station. no near place for good breakfast though. i totally enjoyed my stay in singapore but will not go back to this hostel anymore during my...

Beds reasonably clean, toilets ok but not regularly maintained through out the day. By the end of the day, the toilet can smell abit. Then its fine in the morning. The walls however are not really walls, they are just partitions and hence you can hear the slightest sound made by someone 5 rooms away. Its cheap and very near... More

i stayed around that area with three different guest houses and this one is the best among all. Very clean rooms and the owner is very kind and helpful. dorm rooms are compact and a bit small. But overall good experiences and great value.

Basic, no frills, small rooms, cold aircon, about a 10 minute walk to the Lavender LRT stop. Not a bad place for a single budget traveler to spend a cheap night. There are more upscale budget options in the area, this one is around back and up an elevator from a tire shop.

Had a satisfied 3-day stay at the hostel with my partner. Place was clean and service was good. Staff were accomodating to our requests. Best of all, the price was decent and location was superb, close to the city and many eating areas around. Overall, enjoyed the vacation in Singapore very much, and would return to Ideal Backpackers again on... More
