The latest chic hostel to feature stylish accommodation at affordable prices is Matchbox Concept Hostel (Ann Siang Rd., Singapore, +65-6423-0237, www.matchbox.sg), situated in a recently-renovated, three-story, Sino-Portuguese shophouse. Warm light and colorful décor pieces offset the white space, making the three dorm rooms (ranging from two to 16 beds) look larger and airier than you’d expected. Rates are from S$52 (B1,288) per bed per night with all-day breakfast, Wi-Fi internet and local phone calls included.
