Several entrepreneurs, sensing a gap in the backpacker market, have established boutique backpacker hostels in Singapore. One of these is the whimsically-named “A Beary Good Hostel.” The hostel’s subdued shophouse facade conceals its true character, which only adds to the hostel’s charm. The interiors aptly fits the hostel’s name, with its walls painted in warm primary colors and accessorized with stuffed bears. Stepping outside, you are in the middle of Chinatown, where there are an abundance of trendy shops and great Chinese food. Overall, the hostel is a destination in itself with its uniqueness and character. It’s location is also a plus, being in Chinatown.
