Very friendly staff and a good value for money!
There's a reason they're on top and that's because nothing is better than them.
Near to the train station and very easy to find. Will definitely be back!
The place made me feel home. Great space and staff.
The price is reasonable and good location with numbous spa and restaurants nerarby, however, it is quiet noisy at night/early morning if u stay in the room close to the bathroom
But I will still recommend it to guys
Definitely recommended hostel!
Friendly staff,
Large open space for socialising with other travelers,
lots of suggested activities to be done in Singapore written at the receptionist wall.
Cons:
Sticky floors heading to the toilet,

We stay in room 1 which has 2 bunk bed. The room is a little bit dark and not The staffs are helpful. The toilets and bathrooms need to be maintained the cleanliness. And the beds were definitely not comfortable. But taking into account the price, it's ok because the price is cheapest that we had founded.

Good place for a couple of days”
Very good central place near underground stations (3 diff. lines). VERY busy morning during breakfast on 2nd floor. Sorry... but every morning, we had to manage with quite rude people taking all space and not cleaning up their mess... Not Rucksack fault. But be prepared. Sunday morning, no staff on the floor and nothing left to eat for breakfast. It was 10 am. The only real dissatisfaction for our 4-day stay. We were a family of 4 renting a complete room with AC and a big fan. We had a nice sleep even if this was very busy. The non gendered bathroom was really well taken care considering the huge amount of people passing through. There is a fridge so you can bring foods and have a meal at the premises. Nice rooftop terrasse. Would go back.

Social and fun hostel”
Stayed 2 nights in the 18 bed dorm at Rucksack inn. They were pod style (which some people like) but I struggled to sleep, might be the blankets were too itchy, not entirely sure. Good breakfast, happy staff and backpacker mecca are main reasons why it’s a popular destination. Not best location but MRT nearby.

Big and quite impersonal hostel”
Hostel is absolutely fine, just found the experience a bit impersonal. Staff were very friendly but didn't mention that I could get a cheaper ticket to Gardens by the Bay when I asked how to get there (thought that was poor service). Underneath my bed was quite filthy and the bathrooms were often cleaned early in the morning when everyone is wanting to shower! The rooftop is great and I found a lovely coffee shop nearby (Cssh Coffee) but overall my stay was a bit underwhelming.

Good location but need some repair”
The place is clean and in a good location. Though I came with a baby and everything allright, I am not recommend this place if you go with children. The place is more suitable for adults. And if you really want to stay at this place, pick a private room.
My only concern during our visit is that at the time we arrived, the door of 2 out of 4 shower rooms can't be properly closed. And after 2 nights, 1 of the shower is broken (literally). At our departure, only 1 shower room in perfect condition.

Enjoyed the stay.”
Pros. Breakfast is white/wholegrain toast with jam, peanut butter, choc spread or oats. Heaps of cheap food close by. Cheap beer available at hostel. Helpful staff. Comfortable hostel.
Cons. No window in the mixed dorm. Big groups storing bags in the locker area right outside the dorm.
Not a party hostel if that's what you're looking for, but did meet some cool people.
Few minutes walk to MRT Bendemeer, super convenient to get anywhere in the city as trains here are quick, frequent, cheap and easy to use.
