What is your main criteria in booking a hostel? Do you decide based on the hostel location? or the ambience and amenities of the hostel? or simply based on the best price?

As a budget traveller, we understand that most of the times it all comes down to the cost. Moreover, if it’s your first time to Singapore, you’ll make full use of your time to explore the city to the max. So, you probably won’t be spending much time in the hostel. Having said that, it doesn’t mean that we can completely ignore the basic needs that a hostel should provide.  

Whatever your reason is, and whether you’re a solo backpacker or travelling with a group of friends or family, there are many hostels in Singapore for selections that suit your preference.
