Everything about this place was amazing - staff = uuber lovely and helpful and kind. Bathrooms = clean, spacious & good showers! Kitchen = small but came with breakfast/teas coffees etc. Hang out/chill zones = awesome; a smaller room downstairs with bean bags and a free incredible foot/back massager, and a 'loft' area with everything from bean bags, to a...

Stayed here in Feb on a stop-over holiday to South Africa. Absolutely stunning hostel that, if it weren't for the shared rooms and amenities, would put many a hotel to shame. CHECK-IN: I checked in at 2am in the morning since my flight arrived so late and had no problem being helped. I was quickly checked in and shown around.... More

I stayed in this hotel with 7 of my friend. We stay here for almost a week at the female bedroom. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful, Meg was the one who is constantly in charge. Since the beginning of our arrival, Meg is always being helpful and always giving us some useful information. The hotel itself located in... More

Perfect location. Attention to detail. Personalized experience. Going the extra mile, every time, all the time. Aside from the location (Ann Siang Road is PERFECT for backpackers/flashpackers - Orchard is overrated), what sold me the most about this hostel is the fact that you get such a customized experience in a place that’s just bursting with so much personality.

I stayed at this hostel for only one night but found it to be one of the best I've ever stayed in. Awesome private bunks, kinda like a capsule hotel, only thing they were missing was a curtain to close out the world. Fast free wifi and a funky lounge area with a ps3, bean bags and indoor swings. The... More

I stayed in Matchbox in January 2012, first on my way to Vietnam and Cambodia and then on the way back. It is a fantastic hostel in a great location and the staff are so friendly and helpful. I stayed there on my own and felt very safe. Its literally 5 minutes walk away from Chinatown and there are cute... More

Stayed there with the kids. Everything OK, but perhaps the iPod dock should be in the lounge instead of the sleeping room as some play their music too loud. But this aside, excellent service and value in a very expensive city.

Having been travelling around Southeast Asia for a couple of months, my partner and I found Matchbox to be the one hostel where you felt at home. They offer living spaces, free laundry, a fully stocked help-yourself kitchen and even hand out laptops that you can take to bed with you! The only gripe was the shower/toilet combo. Sometimes the...
