A great location for shopping and food and the MRT subway.
Much better than a hostel. Shared individual showers and bathroom availability was fine.

But cosy for 2 tall Europeans
Very economical way of spending the night, on our tour of south east Asia.
I'm 6'3\" and I fitted the bed.
Toilet and shower were clean.

If you're happy to live in a pod then it is ideal.

There are pubs in the area and karaoke doesn’t end until 2 am. It is very noisy and believe me you won’t be able to sleep not until after 2 am!!!
There are also tiny red ants in the pods!
Very dusty in the pods.

Nice hostel with comfortable bed. Convenient location in center of Chinatown. Very helpful staff. Highly recommend and would like to stay there again.
Gerald
Likes: close to MRT, close to two hawker centres, close to two Chinatown malls.
Dislikes: the pods are located above a bar so it is noisy. Can't sleep. The front door on the room keeps slamming. Other noisy guests in the room. The shower & toilet are all in one. Everything gets wet. Also very small.

チャイナタウンの近くにあるのでアクセスがしやすいです！マーケットとか近いし空港からもすぐです。ただお風呂が汚いです。がホステルなのでこんなものかなと思います。本当泊まるだけの宿です
Ryan
Very economic choice for budget tourists if you focus on all the activities in the day time and seek only a place to sleep. Yet there are plenty of facilities that could be enhanced.
Bob
Not super clean or super dirty. Sound travels but everyone tried to be quiet. They will only supply 1 card even if you are 2 people and you need the card to get into the facility and then into the room so the person in the pod will remain without electric or light while the second person has to use it somewhere else in the facility and for sure one person can't go out and leave the other one in the pod. Management seem distracted. Also a note for Expedia which is another USA company making the same mistake so many other Western companies make thinking there are no English speaking people using their service from Southeast Asia because all the emails and even sometimes the website will come up in the Thai language and it's difficult to figure out how to switch it to all English even though I'm signed in and you know my preferences.
Rui
Nice comfortable stay in the pods, would recommend with AC.
Aisling
Good value stay in excellent location!
Fantastic location in Chinatown - so close to the MRT station and the Chinatown markets, and walking distance to the marina! Pods are comfortable but not soundproof but the noise of the fan helps drown out other people in the room - however there’s a karaoke bar next door so it can be quite loud. Bedding had some stains on it and tissues were left in our pod from previous guests. The toilet and shower are in the same room so the toilet is often wet - overall it’s clean and shampoo and shower gel are provided. The dorm is air conditioned so really pleasant. The lockers provided don’t fit big bags so they have to be left out. Some perks are the free wifi and free cold drinking water/tea/coffee. The staff were very friendly and helpful!
jessica
We really enjoyed our stay. The bed is comfortable. The lights inside the pod are quite bright though. Also it was freezing in there. They had the air con blasting, so even under the blanket and wearing clothes, we were still cold. Please turn down the air con.
MICHAEL
This pod hostel was 1000 times better than the one In little India. It felt clean, it was larger, it didn't smell and had a good amount of lounge areas with purchasable tooth brushes and noodles and free tea and coffee near each pod on each floor. Bathrooms are super tiny though (I hate bathrooms with toilet and shower combo especially in hostels) but they where cleaned frequently and we'll enough it didn't feel disgusting. The staff was also helpful but the best part is that it's location is perfect. A bar next door. 2 hawker stations and a mall 2 train stops from about 4 movie theaters (including Shaw mall and theater) as well as it being close to every train line. So you will only need one train ride outside the airport to get there. No transfers which is great. I will be booking to stay here again. On small not though. The actual Pods needs to be a bit more thougjly cleaned. Mine had some long hairs (the hairs where long and brown, I'm black with short curly hair so it definitely wasn't mine). Also the cleaner of the pods please wipe down the remotes and button panels as part of you cleaning regimine for the pods. Other than that great experience and everything looked and worked as well as advertised online. 👌😁😊

Noisy fans
The fan in the pod was very noisy and rattled, I queried this and was told they’d send someone to look at it. The lock also didn’t work which needed checking. No one turned up and the staff didn’t seemed bothered. The fan is next to your head and so makes sleeping difficult. The pods other than that are clean and a fun way of doing dorms.
Edmund
This place was perfect for me. There was adequate security and privacy here. The pods are roughly 3’x7’x3’ high
There are 3 stalls for a max of 15-20? guests so I had no problems showering

Amazing cheap place to stay
This hotel is one of the cheapest you'll find in downtown Singapore. The room is amazing and very futuristic and the hotel staff is always there if you need them!
Ricardo
Awesome friendly
Ryan
Only complaint was some other guests were a little noisy.
RAJITH
Unique and convenient lodging.
David
Novel idea, but per some previous reviews was basically an untidy dorm room in which you could hear every creak and crack (the nightly homecoming for some at around 2am followed by conversations, vomiting etc was not ideal), mattress was also super thin. Fine if you’re young, wouldn’t recommend for those older/with families.

The place was cosy, atmosphere was relax. Good for local who wants to stay away from home for awhile.
Verified traveler
This was my first stay in a pod hotel.For the price I think it’s a good value for a night’s rest and shower.As it’s a pod concept,there isn’t much privacy and changing can be a challenge unless you are used to changing in a tight space ie. inside your pod.Obviously one can change in the shower/toilet but the floor is often wet for obvious reasons hence making it a challenge unless you are always wearing shorts! Location is convenient but parking is expensive and a nightmare! Toilets can also be cleaner.Common space is acceptable.
Grace
I got a private room because the capsule is under repair. I appreciate the upgrade which is bigger and more privacy. Downside is the Wi-Fi ID in the room is outdated and the first day I got unstable connection. Only realised I should have used another Wi-Fi ID that I should be told in the first place when I am checking in. I got disconnected during my zoom meeting when they reset the modem which I find very disrupting. They need to upgrade their customer service.
traveller2019
The capsules are ok there is privacy. The only thing is that the concept of encapsulation is not a relaxing place to stay on a vacation. It’s not sound proof and the TV doesn’t load movies. The capsule also shakes when a big person is moving. You can’t sleep since it’s not sound proof and you can hear your neighbors. It’s a mixed environment where in males and females can be in the room with the capsules. The shower and toilet combo is ok but it’s too tight. Women who shower are inconsiderate they just leave their hairs in the drains so disgusting. Also No space to place stuff. Stuffs are rude very unprofessional when you ask for assistance. They deserve to work somewhere else that doesn’t involve dealing with customers. I don’t know why they are working there. Never will be going back here despite of paying so much for this. Not for tourists.
Verified traveler
Did not sleep till 2am because someone was talking on the phone for more than 2hours, no staff came to stop him so I had to do it by myself.
Verified traveler
Clean and very close to MRT. But the capsule have no air-con. They use aircon from outside of capsules. Yeah, the room aircon... For me, its fine because its very cold actually
Tiffany
Great for short trips
This was my first time staying in a pod. I found my pod to be fairly clean. I found a small ant but that was no different than what I found at a hotel around the corner. The front desk personnel was extremely helpful. I would suggest bringing shower shoes. The lockers are large enough to hold a carry-on suitcase and a back pack. However, I kept all my stuff in my pod which could only be accessed with my key. Overall, would stay again.
Juan
Very nice & clean property with well accommodating staff. Privacy within the pods is superb as well.
Verified traveler
Storage for bags was far too small. Showers drains were full of hair causing water back up and the hot water shower wasn't working. Staff were great, location is good. Pods are too short for taller people.

Not good
Super thin mattress, not recommend for built above 170cm, weight over 70kg.

The amenities were nice and the staff were really friendly and helpful. The main downside is that if you’re a tall person, you can’t really sleep comfortably.

Verified traveler
The place is really cool, completely different from everything I’ve ever seen in my life. I and my bf booked a double bed pod in a room with another 11 of those. It was very quiet, nice and tidy. The location is good, close to public transportation. Might feel a little bit weird to share a shower/toilet with another people, but you get what you pay for!
Verified traveler
I love their capsule bed and it was very well run. My only major complain is the cleanliness. On the side of the beds, I can still see hair and dirt all on the side and it was really gross looking. Then on top of my bed, I can see people sticking styrofoam cups and paper.
It just seems like the cleaner was not through and did minimal work.

Nice stay
This was my second time in a capsule hotel. This one wasn’t as clean and there were shower/toilets and there weren’t many. However, I didn’t have to wait to use the shower. The breakfast is really rubbish but they give you free hot drinks and biscuits all day which is nice and allow you to store your luggage after check out. Super close to the Chinatown station and the staff are very friendly. I would consider going again.

it’s exactly what is described. no more. no less. it’s a small, clean place to sleep.

Very cool concept, great stay, great service. Our flight arrived at 4 AM and our other hotel check-in was not until 3 PM the next day. We needed a place to crash for a few hours but didn’t want to pay for another full night for only a few hours and this provided the perfect solution. The bed was comfortable the bathrooms were clean the water was hot. There was also a free breakfast. Great safe location.

tv would not work .nothing for 4nights. i complained but they still did nothing to fix it.i paid through you people for a double but they only gave sa single.backpackers bags all over the floor. i had to move bags just to get to the toilet during the night

Staff are very accommodating. Very interesting pod concept. Lockers and amenities are good. Decently clean. Great location. Great price. Only complain would be the noise. Pods are thin as paper so you can hear everything. Some are quite squeaky too. Got woken up by alarms and people at 4.30am. Bring earplugs!
Verified traveler
Nice location as compare to other hostels and cheap.Quality breakfast.
Verified traveler
Okay for a night!
The pods are a good way of spending a night if you’re passing through on a budget, the bed itself is very thin and can be quite uncomfortable, we both came away with bad backs. The pod is quite small for 2 people sleeping in, breakfast was bread, spreads and tea/coffee/juice, basic but all that was needed in the very small space. No place to store big cases. Only 3 showers/toilets for over 14 pods (28 people when full). Overall it’s a good spot for the night, if you’re staying longer find a proper room, it’s worth it!
Verified traveler
Close to MRT and chinatown. Also, a shared car can be rented for driving just at the entrance of the hotel.

Pods are clean and comfy. Lockers are big enough to store all your belongings. Staff are very friendly and really helpful

A nice surprise
Clean, cheap and cheerful. Secure pods and lockers. Small, but comfortable and was ideal for a short, one night stay. Area had good food and cafe options. Included breakfast, wifi and towels.

It was a great location to base myself for the trip. Reasonable clean and staff were friendly. Karaoke bar downstairs though so if you want to be asleep before 1am look somewhere else.

Nice concept
Really loved how we can enjoy privacy by being in a capsule, this hostel takes care of all your basic necessities such as towels hairdryer usb ports hanger lockers etc. There is no fixed timing to be back so the main door is key card operated for 24h, and so is the rest of the facilities. Perfect stay!

Conveniently locate in Chinatown, close to subway, and food stall.
They have a very cool looking, star trek like sleeping accomodation. However it is a bit too narrow , and a bit too short for a tall person like me. if you are 6 ft tall or more , it is not recommended.

Good experience and clean. A bit noisy.
Location in Chinatown is pretty good.
The place was clean, there was free coffee/tea and some basic breakfast in the morning.
Pods are comfortable and big enough.
The only bad thing is that pods are not sound proof so you'll pretty much hear any noise in the room.

Room is very clean and facility, good toilet
We stayed for 3 nights , first 2 night my dorm was perfect because people in dorm were quiet but 3 night have new people come to the dorm who very loud we couldn’t sleep
Verified traveler
Not bad, except for the bathrooms
The pods were small, but comfortable. The service was really good also. However, this hostel had by far the worst bathroom I’ve ever seen. You have to literally shower on top of the toilets, inside the stalls, which by the way weren’t separated by gender. Other than that I thought my experience there was ok.
Paolo
It was fun. The accommodation is nice. Just wished the staffs were quite friendlier than they are.
Heriberto
not good
The tv not working
Shelly
Nice friendly staff. I like the pods for privacy and security. Ablutions could be improved, though on the plus side you can sit on the toilet and shower at the same time! Overall a good stay.
