Rucksack Inn @ Lavender has expanded to 150 beds, the biggest backpackers hostel in Singapore! Cozy and clean and comfortable hostel at wallet-friendly prices. Take your pick from bunk beds, pods and private rooms. Psst Rucksack Inn have a rooftop terrace too!

Nice cosy hostel, for a pocket friendly stay in Singapore. The staff is courteous and really helpful. The plus are cleanliness, amazing bunch of people, all day complimentary tea/coffee and the roof top garden. They also can get a bunch of discounted tickets to the attractions around.

I would not recommend staying here. The room was small and not clean. Also, the free 'breakfast' consisted of toast with jelly, and the jelly jar had flies swarming all around. Decent price and they were able to accommodate my late arrival which I appreciated, but I would look elsewhere for overall cleanliness.

I could consider 5 star review but I decided to give 4 star. Everything looks fine the bunc bed, toilets and wireless internet. However, if I choose upper bunc it's difficult for me to climbed up and I have to be extra careful. Now getting here is lot easier with Bendemeer MRT Station alongside with Boon Keng MRT (have to walk quite far). From here to Bugis and Sim Lim Square is minutes away by bus.

It's a great place to be. Close to the airport and MRzt stations. No nonsense backpackers. The staff are friendly. Has two levels. Lower level has only one toilet and bathroom. Upstairs there are four. People staying are fun too. Would surely go back.

For a penny, the price is low, but the environment is also general. The store has provided services as much as possible, but they also have cost considerations. For example, there is only an international outlet on the first floor. There are only two hair dryers in the whole hall. The quilt and bed sheets have been raised. The room can't adjust the temperature. The second floor is the female dormitory. There are only stairs, but there are also male residents. If you care about living, don't choose. Here. If you don't care about this, as long as the person who saves money can consider it, it can provide breakfast and save the meal.

Good night's sleep, good rooftop, great Aircon and showers. Some hosts provide great help. Basic breakfast with tea/coffee, toast and orange slices but it's sufficient. Downfall: 3days in a row I asked for their laundry service and they said they were too busy. Overall, good value for money.

Nothing less than 5*.... Staff is friendly and helpful... Interior is awesome. One can spend hours setting at the rooftop garden. Bus stop is just few steps ahead, easy traveling... Little India is most nearby market place for food and shopping, almost walking distance. Best for backpackers.... (Y)

Amazing place to stay for backpackers, regular travellers. This place reminds me of good old college days. It's pretty safe and the staff (both indians and Singaporeans) are really cordial and helpful. Ambience is nice especially the rooftop where one can get the look at the scenic beauty of the city along with nice breakfast.

The hostel is in a great location. The underground station is nearby. The breakfast is great and is the best I have ever had in a hostel. Water dispenser is also available. You can also relax on the roof terrace. The only drawback is the cleanliness in the bathroom. But that's always because of who was there before. And there are too few showers.

Small but clean in general. Cheap price, service is good however inside the room need more frequently cleaning the floor. Away from MRT about 1km. Surrounding it is easy to find some traditional food. Breakfast is included with sandwitch and butter, jam, etc and with some fruit too. Staff is nice too. I like it and will select as stay place next time.

Rucksack Inn was clean and well-organised. We had booked 3 months in advance so we received 20% discount. The bunk bed for two was adequate for our needs. It was a private room, not the dorm. The airconditioning was very good, very cool on a hot, humid day. Breakfast was free - simple serve of orange and watermelon for fruits, bread to toast (or not) comes with a selection of butter, jam or Nutella. Instant coffee and tea were available all day. They also have lots of information on tours and some public events in Singapore. It's very close to public transport, bus stops and a couple of MRT stations. There is a mall nearby (City Mall) and so many restaurants, food places and drinking spots only walking distance away. Arab St and Little India were only a little over a kilometre from the hostel. We found it to be in a good location and felt safe in this area.

Clean, good facilities, friendly and informative staff, good locations, good price, cute events- we attended a cooking class in the lounge which was a lovely touch. Bedrooms are as expected- people come in and out any time of day or night but your bunk is sufficiently comfortable. If you need somewhere to stop as a lone traveller this place is PERFECT. Thank you for your hospitality.

Really good place to stay. Nearest subway, Bendemeer is just a five minute walk. The hostel staff are well informed, very helpful and have suggestions should you have trouble finding anything to do in amazing Singapore! Dorms are interesting, comfy beds but they're more like pods, air con is good but we could have done with a bit space in the room to store our bags. They like to squeeze in the beds. Everything else was fine, would happily stay there again!.. Just wondering how much prices rise when the Formula One comes to town..

Super friendly staff, neat and clean dorm rooms, free breakfast and lots of guide books so what else is required. I'll also not forget to mention that they are best in the price. I highly recommend this place to all those who are looking for a budget accommodation in Singapore. Trust me you'll also get a chance to meet so many like minded people over there.
