OK. Here is the plan. We must all, every one of us, help control the demand for inexpensive, top-quality accomodations less we loose our new favorite place on planet Earth to plop our heads.

You see, if the positive story gets out, The Inn-Crowd will be like Phuket, Samui and the Full Moon party...some where you could actually book into during the "Good Old Days."

So, for the record, this place is "ok" and "not bad," but never "amazing" or "pefect."

Further, Ping must be described as a despot who wakes us at 6am for exercise, while Hai smells oddly of cheese.

You know, come to think of it maybe we should just tell the truth. This has been a great find for all of us early adopters. A great place to stage from or even spend time getting to really know Singpore. Maybe we should just start talking about the "Good Old Days" now.

After all, these are the Inn Crowd's initial "Good Old Days." Pay close attention and have digital cameras and your memories close at hand.

Best-est Regards...

Never have I come across such a clean, tidy and homely hostel in my 7 months of travelling. We even got a maid for good sake and not forgetting the chaffaeur service.

Its going to be hard to top this, how am I going to survive out there now in the real world ; )

Thank you Hai for all the food, advice and help your like an older brother, CHESSES I KNOW!!!!! Ping you know who to call if you need a holiday or just to get away from Hai.

I look forward to seeing you both in the near future ; ) guys keep in touch!!!!

Before I arrived in Singapore I thought what the hell am I going to do for 3 whole days myself. And thats not to mention the nights - when you are by yourself nightime can be lonely. How wrong could I have been. I dont want to leave. InnCrowd was fantastic. The facilities are great and the place was so clean. Hai and Ping were really helpful. Last night was very authentic travelling - real singaporean food and fruit. Hilarious to watch everyone squirm eating Durian! The other hostels on my trip will have a lot to live up to!! I will definately return. Cheers Hai and Ping

Cute, clean, comfortable, compact, and cheap! I have nothing but high remarks for this haven within Little India. I searched on the internet for a cheap place to stay in Singapore and found that it was lacking in nice hostels and affordable sleeping arrangements. I was very LUCKY to find the website (www.the-inncrowd.com) with loads of information for the fellow traveler, great visual pictures of the tourist areas, and the chance to stay in a nice, new hostel run by angels. Hai and Ping take care to spoil travelers with an area for free internet access, seating lounge with books, music, and more plus free breakfast, access to a beautiful kitchen, comfortable dorm style beds, and clean, hot showers. Oh, they also have one double room if you want your privacy and I have been told that the bed is extra comfortable. Now, I know that you are thinking that this place sounds too good to be true. If you don't believe, please take a look at their website and think about traveling to Singapore. I feel like I could spend days just enjoying the environment of the hostel with no need to see the outside world. Ping and Hai are always willing to listen, talk, and give advice for the lost traveler, and even organize group trips to places not to be missed.

I'm off to hit Chinatown and the penning of the Esplanade for the free cultural events.
