Stayed in 6 bed dorm - impeccably clean, tastefully Spartan rooms. Great outdoor breakfast area/patio. Reception had a rather cool, minimalist design - iMacs for use by guests. The trendy and hip staff at the reception made you feel very welcome. I loved staying here. I did think the bathroom facilities (while very cool in design, naturally) were quite dirty... More

This hostel is a very good place for cheap budgets as it is in Chinatown and near the main places around the marina. Everything was as described. It is a quiet place, sheltered from the outside, but a bit noisy in the rooms. The staff is very friendly. The kitchen, with also free hot beverages and water, is open to... More

We stayed in a 4 bunk room for a few nights, the beds and bedding were really comfortable. The room was pretty tiny, but reasonably clean and in a good location. Great airconditioning, and there was a decent breakfast included. There was a major problem with not enough bathrooms, only 2 toilets for the whole building and they were combined... More

I only had a day in Singapore, and wanted to spend most of my time in Chinatown. So staying 1 minute from the MRT train stop, was ideal. A vibrant and exciting area day and night, 5 Foot Way Inn was a super clean and modern place to rest my head. Thanks

We took the MRT from the airport and came out in Chinatown and it was wow! So quaint! The hostel is just steps away and we felt very welcome and cosy. Nice little reception area with its own little sitting area (also serves very basic bfast there of bread, cereal, fresh fruit, tea/coffee). Our room was across the narrow street... More

This is the second time I have stayed at this hostel. My company isn't very generous about paying for hotel stays when I go to Singapore and twice I have balanced out the cost by staying at this hostel. Rooms, staff, location, price are all fantastic. Showers are not great but better in some of the buildings than others. Never... More

Hi kakek_ganas, Thank you for reviewing your stay at 5footway.inn Project Chinatown 1. We are glad that you had enjoyed your stay with us. Space is regrettably limited due to the prime location. However, the management will look into how we can increase the bathroom space without reducing the cubicle quantity. Nevertheless, we look forward to having you back again. More
