Description
Set up by a bunch of enthusiastic friends, The Hive had something good going for them: perhaps it's the lovingly decorated rooms and dorms, and the free broadband and WiFi. When we visited though The Hive was in the midst of an extensive renovation and lacked atmosphere or warmth, though it does offer quality dorm beds and pretty cheap private rooms. Its location in Lavender Street can feel rather middle of nowhere. Perhaps after the renovation is completed better judgement can be made.

New 7th Storey Hotel
229 Rochor Road
The New 7th Storey Hotel actually has nine levels, not seven; and at more than 50 years old, it's hardly new either. Established in 1953, it was one of the stalwarts of the scene back when there was no scene -- just about everybody on the Hippie Trail remembers it. 50 years on, it still packs in... more
Sleepy Sam's Bed and Breakfast
55 Bussorah Street
Smack in front of the Sultan Mosque, there can't be a better location -- Sleepy Sam's claims to be a 'luxury Singapore hostel'. And they do deliver.

Once you do locate the exact stairway, and after hauling yourself and... more
