Rucksack Inn @ Tyrwhitt

No towels provided but other than that this hostel was great. Clean and tidy with lockers in room and space under the bunk beds. Aircon worked well and all the staff we encountered were really friendly. They worked really quickly and although check in time was 3 then checked us in just after 10 as soon as the bunks were ready which was much appreciated. The common area isn't massive but it's relaxed and tidy.

I booked 7 nights. I was lucky to get a lower bed. When i got to the room, technically i have 1 roomate but she was not there for few nights. Room was clean. A little dusty and still have few hair strands on the edges. The sheets were not changed in the duration of my stay. Mattress was thick, comfy. No towels provided. Please bring your own towel and toiletries. Shower room was clean too. Very convenient as the ladies bathroom is near my room. Staffs were friendly. I seldom stay in the lounge as too many people at times. Ill go downstairs only to eat breakfast as food not allowed in the room. They have a mini kitchen where there is a water Despenser , cups and utensils can use. 50sgd refundable deposit required upon check in. Convenient location, 9 minutes from lavender Mrt. Near fairprice and hawker centre. The lobby was in 2nd floor. And rooms were in 3rd floor. No elecator, have to carry your stuff upstairs. Not advisable for travelers with multiple bags or large luggages. Whole stay was okay. Noises are expected in hostel environment. Not able to sleep early unless very tired. Check in is 3pm and check out is 10am. I checked out early at 7am. They allowed me to leave my things in the lobby. I was assured by the staff that its fine as they have CCTV. But just to be sure, better dont leave any valuables.

Thoroughly enjoyed the hostel for most part, near transport and food shops. 7/11 nearby and close to Little India. Receptionists were helpful and incredibly clean once you enter hostel itself, well done to the cleaner. Some other guests were quite annoying and rude (talking on phone at night, unpacking all bags at 2am making a racket) Overall though I great place for me to stay for 3 nights in Singapore 🇸🇬

I booked my stay in this hostel for 9 days - huge mistake. I’ve stayed in multiple hostels as I love travelling and meeting new people. This time, the travel was international. So I booked a mixed-bed dorm so I can maximise my chances of mingling with new cultures. But we were allocated a room based on our ethnicity. And all guys despite booking a mixed dorm. The room was also so incredibly small. To be competitive honest, it was almost the size of my bedroom’s washroom back home. And 6 people had to sleep in it. I expressed my concern and dissatisfaction at the reception but there was absolutely zero effort for resolution. The hostel also doesn’t have an elevator. You have to climb severa stairs to reach the reception and there is no ground floor in this building. And my suitcase weighed 25 kg (50 lbs). I was hoping that at least the lobby would be a good place to mingle with folks. But the hostel environment was such that nobody had any chance or nudges to interact. There are no fun games or social amenities. As for the location - there are no good hawker centers nearby and the nearest MRT is about a 10-min walk away. Anything more than 10 SGD per night for this hostel would be too high in my opinion.
