I booked two nights and stayed five. The mixed dorm is small enough that you actually know everyone, the beds have proper curtains and real mattresses, and the rooftop at sunset is where my whole trip’s friendships happened. Reza walked us to the best prata I’ve ever had. This is how a hostel should feel.
Came over for a work trip with a colleague and the private twin was a steal — a proper lockable room for less than half a hotel, four minutes from the MRT. Spotless bathrooms, fast WiFi for our calls, and a lounge to switch off in afterwards. Would not stay anywhere else in town now.
As a solo woman the female dorm was perfect — quiet, its own washroom, keycard floor, and a host on site all night so I never felt uneasy. But downstairs is so social I made friends from six countries. The supper crawl with Arjun was the highlight of my whole Southeast Asia trip.
My partner and I did a staycation right here in our own city — easily the best little trip we’ve taken. We live in Singapore and still found corners of Kampong Glam we’d never seen. The double room was cosy and private, the rooftop was magic, and the whole thing cost less than one fancy dinner. Bunkmate gets the balance exactly right.
“Cleanest hostel kitchen I’ve cooked in across six months of Asia. The host walked me to the night market on my first evening. Unreal.”
“Booked the female dorm solo and felt completely safe — keycard floor, own washroom, host on site. Made friends from four countries by day two.”
“The private double was tiny and perfect and cost less than a chain hotel’s breakfast. The rooftop at sunset sold us on extending two more nights.”
