After over a month of travelling, this is hands down the best hostel I have stayed in throughout Asia. The staff are without a doubt the most friendly and helpful I have experienced, able to answer all questions (and there were many!) and always welcoming. There is unlimited toast with jam, butter, peanut butter etc and tea/coffee throughout the day... More

I think nearly everything has already been said about this great place, but nevertheless: Pros: An ideal inn for meeting people, and very close to all the major attractions. Rooms were clean, comfortable and nicely designed, and the staff was pleasant, helpful and spoke good English. I'd definitely recommend this inn to people on a budget wanting to balance price...

The staff was helpful, even didn't know what I asked, They searched for me. Location was excellent anyway. I really enjoy the 24hrs meal after long flying. Most of hostels don't offer a bed light and charger, but rucksack inn dose it! That's the most value thing I paid.

The place is good, accessible, feeling safe, warm and welcoming. Besides, it's a great experience to share rooms together and it may gives us opportunity to know new people. Clealiness of the inn is excellent. Despite the humid room, I have nothing else to complain about. Keep it up!

The place is just cozy, with friendly backpakers and awesome hang out place. The room is a bit small and there is no prayer place. But our overall stay was pleasant. It is very near to an MRT and cheap foodcourts. I would definitely stay at this place again!
