Rucksack Inn @ Lavender Street

We spent this service from December 07 ~ 08th 2018. The potential feeling was not good. However, the rest of staying got progressed well. 😅 This hostel is really good and valued for any backpackers. Thank you and good luck!!! Will be back!!! 🤣 😀

Great friendly staff.

A very well kept hostel with super friendly staff. Nice beds with duvets and power plugs. The rooms are air conditioned and spacious. The location isn't the best but the hostel makes up for it. The rooftop is a great area to hang out and the whole place was really clean. The staff is always happy to help out and they offer a $10 laundry service which I used. Definitely a great hostel.

This was a wonderful place to stay in Singapore. The location was great. Very close to public transportation and many food places. The staff were so helpful and kind, making my stay here that much better. Breakfast was simple but good. If you’re in Singapore and you’re looking for a hostel that is slightly more budget friendly than the rest, this is your place!

Sehr freundliches Personal

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.

Room, toilet and dining place were clean and tidy. Bed and pillow were comfortable. Breakfast was nice. One of the bathrooms door lock was broken. Blanket was think and small, couldn't cover my whole body.

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.

They can improve Breakfast menus and cleaning of bed everyday, Breakfast in only breads and they do not clean bed everyday ! I stayed 4 nights and they din clean it everyday or alternate day , Staff is really good, They helped and always smiling !

Location-wise. It's good and quiet. With a tourist pass, everything is accessible. Boon Keng MRT station is just a walk away. It will get yoi directly to HarborFront for those planning to go to Universal Studios.

I booked an open bunc bed, and was upgraded to a pod base. Unfortunately, I am allocated on the top bed. Being wake up by the permanent stay guest knocking my sleep. Claiming I have snores badly. It happens consistently. Very discouraging as I have business appointment on next day. It is normal to have people snoring, which it is unexpected. If they prefer to have full privacy, don’t choose bunc bed concept hostel. Go for a hotel instead! Very inconsiderate people.

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.

This place is great. The bed is comfy but you need to bring your own adapter. Their breakfast is okay. Loved the jam! The nearest MRT is Boon Keng so you need to walk a little. Ms Carole was accomodating. I needed to resched my trip because of an unexpected disaster and she rebooked with my requested dates. Just a little prob on the shower rooms because there are only 3 on our side and only 2 are comfortable to use. The 2 toilets does not have a bidet so it’s a bit of a hassle. Nonetheless, this place is good for solo travellers!

located in the good place nearby bus stop and mrt station. Room also comfortable and clean. But for toilet and shower, it was a bit dirty since many people used it. Btw, Rucksack Inn is valueable hostel to stay ! 😉

it was a great experience. .were 10 person and enjoy staying there the only concern is the toilet the door is broken and we need to wait for the person to finish cause they have of few shower room buts its ok. overall I like it. .

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, SGD 2 to rent the towel,

I've been looking for a nice hostel in Singapore for a while and was extremely happy to finally have found it. This hostel provides an amazing service with free breakfast (even if you haven't checked in yet), extremely friendly and helpful staff which isn't giving you the feeling you were one out of hundrets. The accommodation is good, comfortable and clean ( in 14-bed-dorm no window, 10-bed-dorm, window and very nice room) -- good value for the price. I was very satisfied with the stay. With an extraordinary relaxed and friendly atmosphere I would recommend Rucksack Inn to every traveller who is looking for more than just a bed (but good service and a homely surrounding to get to know other travellers). Thank you very much for the lovely time and the hospitality

This place is ten minutes away from the subway so it's very accessible. We arrived so early in the morning and our arrival is way early 3am. They allowed us to stay at the location, leave our bags so we can explore SG withour our backpacks. We're so confused at first when we arrive as they told me there would be a note written on the side with my name including the key. There really is a note on the door that is NOT my name. We're exhausted and tired, and haven't purchased any tourist sim yet ( I usually don't purchase one anyway) as it's the wee hours. We ended up checking out that note for James... something I forgot. It's the passcode to the door. Turns out its the same password for everyone. I have no complains at this place, I got it on a budget price and you get what you pay for. My other friend thinks differently though... she thought the bed's too itchy and haven't been cleaned ( I felt the same way but I'm so tired walking the first and second day that I dont care anymore)

One of the staff is liar, i asked her nicely if I can transfer to the lower bunk since I noticed that the girl there is leaving that day but she said that there's no available even though when I returned there's no one. So I transfer myself without anyones consent and tell them right after, its a good thing that staff I talked to is different and he is very nice and accommodating.

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.
