Green Kiwi Backpacker Hostel

After staying in my friend's condo in Kembangan area for one week, I decided to try some hostel in Singapore for the remaining week. I choose Green Kiwi Backpacker Hostel because I read so many good reviews in the internet and also because I read that the receptionists are Filipino.

The place is cozy and laid-back place to stay in Lavender area which located near public transport, walking distance to Mustafa Centre (the only 24-hrs open mall in Singapore) and also walking distance to the food court.




The hostel is very clean and the beds are the best. They use the same thick and comfortable mattresses in 5-star hotels so you won't feel any back pain in the morning. The rooms are new and air-conditioned.


This is a hostel so expect shared bathrooms but don't worry because there are many available cubicle without queues. Showers are separated to the main toilet. Think of gym showers, just bigger.




The best thing in this hostel is their free breakfast. You can have unlimited healthy fruits such as watermelon, dragon fruits, and oranges, alongside toast and coffee or tea. A range of spreads (jam, butter, peanut butter, kaya) are available for you to choose from. 


They also have a rooftop garden if you want to chill at night or exercise in the morning.



The staff are all very friendly I cannot ask for more.

The hostel also offers discount to the main tourist attractions in Singapore such as entrance to Sentosa, Night Safari, Universal Studios, etc. You can also borrow several board games from them if you are bored.


Of course, wi-fi is important so how about experiencing their 5-digit kilobytes/sec speed in the hostel? Awesome. It is very fast you can watch every movie you want online without buffering and download songs in seconds. Just the best wi-fi same as Korea's. If you don't have laptop or ipad, then you can use their 3 desktop computers for free.


The only thing I didn't like is that they don't have a lift. You have to carry your bags upstairs because they are located in the 2nd floor of the building. But I guess, this outweighs by the beauty of this hostel.

I highly recommend this. If I will come back to Singapore, definitely I will stay here.

See and experience to believe.
