Quarters Hostel Singapore
It is our first time checking in at the Quarters Hostel in Singapore during our trip to Singapore last November 28 – December 2, 2016, and I will give my personal review as a traveler who stayed in this hostel for 5 days.
The review is for the 2 hostels based on what I experienced at The Port Hostel and the Quarter Hostels. The Quarters Hostel is located on the colorful Circular Road and The Port Hostel is located along the Singapore River which the view is facing Marina Bay. These hostels are perfect for traveler backpackers, solo travelers, couple travelers, or the family who love to travel.
Quarters Hostel Singapore is located on a circular road. They allow late check-in but you need to inform them ahead. The Quarters Hostel is a perfect place for those who love bars and nightlife after your busy day of visiting the tourist destination in Singapore because the circular road street is the place where people and bars are alive during nights after work hours.
If you are looking for affordable foods for your budget then circular road street is the place to be.
Regarding the accommodations, services, and staff attitude of this Quarters Hostel and The Port are very accommodating and happy to help or serve their customers who need help. The Hostels have free breakfast only but it is a self-service and you should wash your own plates, which is a very good idea. You cook your own food.
They have clean rooms, CR, and a Lounge area. For rooms, they have En-Suite Dorm Room, Quad Room, and Twin Room.
Room Rates
En-Suite Dorm Room is $33 rate per night
Quad Room is a $164 rate per night for a family room with 3 to 4 in groups.
Twin Room is a $52 rate per night good for 2 with a double deck.
With hot showers 24 hours a, free breakfast, bathroom, air conditioner, locker, and bed light, key card access, and free Wi-Fi access 24/7. The hostel also allows the customers to use the Mac desktops all in a nice cosy environment. Take note, bring your own towel because they don’t have a free towel and the bathrooms are shared but the male and female bathrooms are separated and it is clean.
