Nice place but not exactly a backpacker's niche. It's actually set up as a hotel. The 'hostel' portion consist of shared rooms in the basement with possible, loud, obnoxious, 40-year-old men needing a place to stay. The internet has a security alarm if you go over 20 minutes which was annoying and a hundred strict rules for all tenants. The location is fine with a few bars along the strip and access to the metro. Hot showers, clean sheets and your own key was a plus.

I tried to make a reservation at the Fragrance Hostel through the on-line reservation form on the "Frangrance Hotel" website. After a week, I emailed to query whether or not my reservation was confirmed. I received no response so I phoned the reservation desk (from Canada) and a confused employee had difficulty understanding English but eventually understood my question. She spent a great deal of time trying to track down the correspondence (booking form and email) without success and then directed me to use a booking system (like hostels.com)....however, by this time (two weeks after the initial reservation request), some of the dates I required were no longer available so I had to split my accommodation plans between Fragrance Hostel and another hostel in Singapore. Other than this frustrating experience, I would recommend this hostel. Location is great, and it's generally clean (although it's not as pristinely clean as it was two years ago, on my first stay there).

worth what you pay.
Nice setup like a hotel, but not so good facilities - no wireless broadband and don't provide breakfast.

The rooms are small but clean and you have your own locker. you also get a room key card so only the people staying your room can get in. the bathrooms are clean and scrubbed daily. there is nowhere to keep food but there is a cooktop, but since food is so cheap you will want to eat out everyday anyway and there is an urn for hot water if you want tea or coffee. the only problem is the doors shut by themselves and have a tendency to bang loudly so you can hear them all the way down the hall. they need to be padded so they can close but not bang. bed lights on each bed would be better as people tend to turn on the overheads at all times of the night coming and going. otherwise its in a fantastic spot in Little India.
