Matchbox, Singapore

The lowly hostel has long since started to clean up its act. But even the most discerning budget travellers have never seen anything like these high-impact, low-overhead design-led hostels - not to mention the new wave of pod hotels that provide a more private, low-cost alternative to bunking en masse.

This immaculate hostel in a bohemian enclave of Singapore does nothing to sully the city's squeaky-clean character. The décor combines clean lines with eye-popping colour, courtesy of Dutch paint company AkzoNobel. Three dormitories house a series of cosy bunk beds and grade-school lockers (another improvement on the traditional hostel). Guests also enjoy little five-star luxuries, like complimentary toiletries by local brand Spa Esprit, as well as a pillow menu. - Lauren Ho
