I am used to the fact hotel prices in Singapore are extremely high and went about looking for budget accomodation that was: 1) Close to a taxi stand and walking distance to the MRT 2) Clean, basic but had internet access I was pleasantly surprised with Hangout as it was as I expected and nothing more; basic, friendly, comfortable, clean... more

I stayed here with my brother in May as we were travelling around the area. I had read the mixed reviews before going, and so was a little apprehensive. But on arrival I was pleasantly surprised, as basically it is good value for money and not a bad choice by any means. The reception staff are really friendly and helpful... more

We spent 2 nights at Hangout at Mt. Emily in June and had a very nice time. The hostel/hotel is situated on a hill (Mount Emily) that seems to have been the site of an all girls school. The area seems to be up and coming as there are many new condominiums that have recently been developed in the area.... more

I only stayed at the Hangout overnight but I wished I stayed longer! The rooms are super clean, the bed was comfortable and the a/c was great (a necessity in a hot city like SG!!). This hotel gave what it promised - no frills, just a low price! Room amenities only included towels, there was no soap/shampoo/toothpaste provided. The hotel... more

We stayed here for four nights and it was our introduction to Singapore. The setting was great, very peaceful and away from the bustle of Singapore. The room was little small, with little storage, but it was clean. The staff, breakfast, internet access, other facilities were all excellent. If I had to complain it would only be to say that... more

Hangout @ Mt Emily has some strong plus-points: helpful and efficient staff, high standards of cleanliness, free internet and television in the chill out lounge, buffet breakfast and a stunning rooftop terrace. The dorm rooms are well-designed, although some suffer from a smell of damp (not uncommon in air-conditioning crazy Singapore). I'd advise getting one with a window. For dorm... more

This place is definitely a hostel not a hotel. But in saying that I think it makes a very good hostel. The rooms are clean, it had a nice free breakfast, I felt it was very secure and it has free internet, washing machines and chill out room. What more could you ask for really? I would definitely stay here... more

We stayed at Hangout Mount Emily on our way out to Australia in February and then on our return in May. We were a little anxious as we had not stayed in a hostel before. We should not have worried The staff were very helpful, it was clean and in a quiet area but easily accessible. The rooms were great... more

Don't know why some of the reviews for the Hangout are negative. I stayed for 2 nights at the start of May '08 and really enjoyed my stay. Paid Singapore $94 (£35) per night for a single room. All the staff were friendly, there was excellent air conditioning in my room (thankfully as the heat outside was unbearable!). I liked... more
