Singapore hostels

If you visit Singapore you might think you have travelled forward in time, and, in keeping with the futuristic surroundings, how about staying at one of the MET A SPACE hostels in Singapore downtown, all bookable through KAYAK.  The space-age sleeping pods (single or double) are designed to ensure more privacy than a shared dorm coupled with affordability and plenty of shared space to ensure guests can still meet one another. The icing on the cake for some guests is the complimentary breakfast.

‘I’ve seen the future and it works’ was actually said about the ex-USSR but it could perhaps more accurately be applied to clean, efficient, safe Singapore, in fact the ‘Lion City’ could be your perfect base from which to explore East Asia. Of course, it can be expensive but travellers can keep costs down by staying in Singapore hostels rather than hotels. Check out the range of hostels available to book through KAYAK including the reasonably priced Hive Hostel in the Kallang District of Singapore, not far from the Sports Hub, the giant Wave Mall for food and shopping and the trendy Riverside area with its little bars and cafés.

Feel like spending some time outdoors to take maximum advantage of Singapore’s year-round summer temperatures? There are excellent public transportation links to the uncrowded Punggol Park on the north shore of Singapore – just hop on bus #84 or take the north-east Metro line to Punggol. Singapore hostel accommodation may not be available there but it is easily accessible from the city centre.

Hostels are a great way of meeting people from around the world as well as saving money, and you will most certainly want to have a bit of spare cash to spend on Singapore’s array of international cuisine or, even better, on sampling the local specialties, chilli crab, and black pepper shrimp. Singapore is famous for its night-life and especially the hundreds of roof-top bars that have sprung up in the downtown area – the perfect place to sip a Singapore sling under the velvety tropical night sky.

If you’re looking for a cheap hostel in Singapore, you should consider going during the low season. You’ll generally find lower-priced hostels in Singapore in May and March.
