During my other weekend getaway to Singapore last week, I stayed at River City Inn Singapore with a friend of mine, Nia Kurniasih. We were traveling to Singapore to visit our bestfriend, Dini Rosdini and her family. As we were looking for the hostel just few days prior to our departure date, most of the hostel were full. We were looking for female dorms, and the one in River City Inn were still available for two person.
At the time of the booking, we didn't notice that the hotel is located on the 4th floor of a shophouse, until I read the confirmation email thoroughly from hostelworld, on the MRT from Changi to the hostel:p Thank God we got only one backpack for each of us. So the stairs issue was not a problem. But if you have a large luggage, please be advised that you have to take your luggage up to the hostel without a lift.
To reach River City Inn, we had to take the stairs from this yellow building up to the 4th floor. On the 3rd floor, there is a new hostel called Blissfull Loft. I didn't went inside, but it looks clean as well.

Our room was about 30 SGD per night per person (we booked the room via Hostelworld). The reception is in the same area with the lounge of River City Inn. The lounge was really homey:)
River City Inn only consist of one storey. The door you see in the above picture (just behind the sofa) is the 4 bed female dorm. Our room was 9 bed female dorm located at the back of the common area.
The hostel was very clean, and it also has clean shared bathroom. However it only has 4 shower and 4 toilets. I didn't have to queue to take the shower though, because we took shower very early in the morning. I don't know what will happen if I took the shower around 8 am. Must be very crowded.
The hotel provides free breakfast, toast with jam and banana. Hot drinks were also provided for free.
Guest could also leave their luggage for free at their storage area as seen in the below picture.
River City Inn located 5 minutes away from Clarke Quay MRT (the purple line MRT). Find exit E at the Clarke Quay Station and cross the street to Hongkong Street, where the hostel is located.
It was a short stay at River City Inn, but I would not hesitate recommend this hostel to those who are looking for a nice, clean, very accessible and cheap hostel in Singapore.
