Guest Reviews

• Joni Chris (10/5): -
• Andree (9/5): Une valeur sûre ! - Bien situé , bon prix et personnel sympathique!
• Seghir (10/5): -
• SWAN Black (8/5): more privacy than in a typical dormitory - l'emplacement les douches et les toilettes réunies
• Antonia (8/5): -
• Anthony Orme (10/5): Excellent stay at a good price - Close proximity to the F1 pit building for the T100 race. Excellent location and it was quiet There was nothing to dislike
• Xavier68 (1/5): - Nada Todo
• Tayla (6/5): - Pods were clean, good location Requested a ground floor room - found that rooms start on second floor and I was placed on the third floor. Lockers not big enough to fit medium sized suitcase, had to leave suitcase behind curtain and hope it wasn’t stolen.
• Ricardo (7/5): -
• Anne (4/5): - War für eine Nacht okay Harte unbequeme Matratze, sehr laut weil hellhörig, überall dreckig vor allem das Bad ist wahnsinnig dreckig, absolut einfach
• ting (9/5): - 还不错，满干净的
• Steffen (5/5): -
• Neytullah (1/5): Sahtekarın en sahtekarlarıdırlar.! İnsan haklarını yiyiyorlar haramzadedirler Allah brlalarını versin onların.! - 0 0
• Samia (10/5): -
• Rico (8/5): Stairs and inconvenience with out an elevator - The location, the accessibility of everything. Climbing up the stairs. If you live in the 4th level - and you need to get something in your luggage then it's very difficult you have to go up and down.
• WEISI (7/5): nice, functional, easy. - automatic key cards a bit creeky when i climb into my bed
• Alexandre (4/5): -
• Victoria (10/5): - The double rooms were an ok size and the lockers were a good size to fit bags in. Location was great, right on Arab street and public transport easy too. Easy check in and checkout process.
• Emil (10/5): - Bardzo dobra lokalizacja i czystko Jedyny minus to ze ubikacja jest połączona z prysznicem i wszystko jest zalane
• NAOTO (7/5): good - 安い。 昼の3時だがスタッフ不在で中に入れずチェックインの為に外で30分待った。雨に打たれるし、他の客も待っていた。
• Alvisurez Castillo (10/5): - Perfecta ubicación, mucha amabilidad de las personas que nos recibieron check out sencillo Nada todo estuvo perfecto
• VIACHESLAV (7/5): - Everything I expected. Everything I expected.
• Abd Rahman (9/5): -
• 西柚 (10/5): -
• Sabrina (8/5): - Good price value. Good for a few nights but not that comfortable for longer stays. A bit noisy sometimes due to the plastic cabins and the mattress comfort could be a little better. Bathrooms were okay for shared hostel vibe.
• Daniel (8/5): I enjoyed my stay - The theme is cool Less slippers in the bathroom and there was a weird smell too
• Tanja (8/5): - Die Schlafkapseln sind mal eine Erfahrung wert....Sind super ausgestattet....Man fühlt sich geborgen darin Sehr gutes umsichtiges Personal... Es gibt keinen Ort in dem man sich nett aufhalten kann....sass dann im Treppenhaus...da standen paar bequeme Sessel. Die Dachterasse ist leider überhaupt nicht ansprechend gestaltet....
• Panagiotis (1/5): -
• Mateusz (9/5): - Pomocna obsługa
• Edina (10/5): Unique stay - After reading the reviews, I was prepared for some inconveniences, but this charming capsule hostel far exceeded our expectations. The pods were exceptionally comfortable and perfectly clean; the air conditioning was also perfect, allowing for a great night’s sleep. The location is simply perfect. I would happily return here with my family anytime.
• Matias Ignacio (10/5): - Novedoso, limpio, cómodo, amplio y tenia aire acondiconado Las zapateros olían super mal y es difícil hacer check in
• Hush Blush (9/5): -
• Dimitrios (8/5): -
• Margaux (6/5): Sympa - L’emplacement est idéal. Les lits sont propres et plutôt confortables. Les cabines sont très très cheap. L’intention de créer un univers est sympa. Mais personnellement nos deux pods ne se fermaient pas. Beaucoup de boutons ne marchaient finalement pas. Et dès que celui de dessus bouge tout tremble en bas. Et la propreté des sanitaires laisse un peu à désirer. Certes cela dépend des autres résidents avec lesquels on tombe mais là il faut croire que nous n’avons pas eu la plus grande des chances car ça puait et certains ne savent pas nettoyer après leur passage. Bref. Ça convient très bien pour ce que c’est mais rapport qualité prix pr rapport à d’autres dortoirs laisse à désirer je trouve.
• BIPLOB (10/5): Superb Hostel. Best in Arab Street. - Everything. Nothing.
• Andrej Zacharias (8/5): Gut und Günstig und mal was anderes - Sehr gutes Preis Leistungsverhältnis. Für Leute mit kleinem Budget die nicht in einem Schlafsaal mit offenen Betten schlafen wollen. Die Boxen sind sehr gemütlich und man hat seine Privatsphäre. Liegt im arabischem Viertel und man hat sehr viele Möglichkeiten um zu bummeln, Einkaufen und einfach den Charm des Viertels auf sich wirken zu lassen. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Man kann auch spät anreisen, die Zugangskarte ist dann in der Box außen am Eingang. Es ist selbstverständlich dass man mit vielen Leuten in einem Raum nicht absolute Stille erwarten kann. Ich habe Ohrstöpsel benutzt um nicht von anderen Wecker oder Geräuschen geweckt zu werden. Wenn viele Leute kommen und gehen, ist es normal und ok. Das muss man einfach bedenken.
• Mark (6/5): -
• Karol (6/5): - Great location, comfortable bed. Many things besides pods are worn out, staircas at the entrance looks like a dumpster. The key to my pod worked 1 of 10 times. Good for a cheap stay in Singapore.
• maria valeria (8/5): Correcto - La ubicación me gustó mucho. Las instalaciones están correctas, coinciden con las fotos. El personal es atento y amable. La distribución del baño compartido no resultó cómoda porque están las duchas junto con los inodoros. Y dicho espacio está todo mojado todo el tiempo. No es higiénico para mi gusto. Solo pasé una noche, estuvo bien. Si hubiera estado mas días me hubiera molestado.
• Mark (7/5): Interesting to try - It has AC. The bed was comfortable. Showers decent I thought they would be more sound proof. You can hear a lot. Bring earplugs. The common area gets dirty easily.
• Joseph (8/5): -
• Pyry (9/5): Harppaus avaruuteen hostellin realiteeteilla - Tunnelma + sijainti Narisevat ja muoviset nukkumispodit
• Damian (8/5): -
• Jude Vishwajith Fernando (8/5): -
• Aniston (7/5): - Check-in and out was very smooth. The size of the pod and luggage space was good for the price. And the safety precautions were good. The bathroom could have been cleaner, it was difficult to use the toilet without getting wet shoes/socks from the shower water. Water and dirt was tracked throughout the bathroom. The ambient light in the pod was unable to be turned off, so it was not dark enough in the space.
• Luan (7/5): In general confy toilets need a bit of more care - Style and something different The door of the capsule is very light and doesn’t insulate the sound
• CJ Barrow (9/5): - Not being able to turn off all the led lights at night, specifically for the outlet fan. This made it difficult to sleep.
• Zeshan (7/5): Good location, moderate pod but terrible hospitality. - The location was good, and the pods looked great and were spacious The functions of the pods didn’t work properly. Ceiling lights can the turned on. The air conditioning wasn’t that good in my pod. The TV didn’t work. They don’t give tooth brush or slippers to walk around. They don’t have a lounge to sit down in and chill in. Highly recommend if that is there. There was barely any help or a Walkdown when checking in. Also the pod was on 4th floor, it was a hassle taking luggage up by stairs as there was no lift/elevator.
• Baptiste (9/5): Super exploration 🚀 - Le thème de l’hostel est fidèle aux images et il est très bien placé. J’ai adoré ce décor spatial. À chaque fois que je sortais de mon pods j’avais l’impression de partir en expédition sur une nouvelle planète 🪐 Problème d’humidité dans mon pods et pas toujours du shampoing dans la douche :(
• merel (7/5): -
• Carmen (7/5): - Gute lage und günstiger Preis in Singapur + generell coole Erfahrung. Sehr hellhörig (knarzen bei jeder Bewegung), schon etwas abgewohnt und eher billig gemacht (verkleidete stockbetten?)
• Laura I. (10/5): In the middle of Arab Quarter - Where should I start…from the first moment we felt very welcomed. I forgot my cellphone in the taxi and Ray was very helpful and kind, he did his best that I get it back. We recived many tips not just about Singapore but also our next destination Kuala Lumpur. The pods are spacious and clean, there are enough showers and they are being cleaned daily. The location is great in the middle of the Arab quarter with many food option open till late in the night. you even get a discount at one of them by showing the card of the hostel. The next metro station is reachable by foot and there is also a mall close by. If I will ever come back I will definitely stay here again. Thanks for everything!!!
• Fery (7/5): - the location stairs and the pod is old not in good maintanace
• Connie (5/5): -
• Sandor (8/5): A must try at least once to try out - The location of the stay is very well placed if you ask me its near the public transportation to explore singparore for a weekend and the value for your money is great My bed was very squeeky each move made a lot of noice. Than evuentlyy one of the light buttons for small light did not work so only big light. even though it has ac it became very warm at night
• KARIN (9/5): - Great location and service, but let down by persistent noise from guests Getting here from Changi Airport is extremely convenient. The location is excellent, with many tourist attractions, dining, and shopping options nearby. The place is very clean, and the staff are incredibly kind, friendly, and welcoming. This was my second stay here, and I still think it is a wonderful place overall. However, my experience was significantly marred by some Mandarin-speaking guests who were extremely noisy. They played music on loudspeakers and chatted loudly well into the early hours of the morning. Their phones were not on silent mode, and message tones rang almost all night long. I personally approached them the following day to politely request they keep their phones on silent at night, but unfortunately, my request was ignored. The noise from their message notifications continued through the second night until they finally checked out on the third day. Although I tried to contact the staff during the incident, the issue wasn't addressed, perhaps due to the late hour. While there are English reminders on the wall, they were clearly ignored by these guests. It seems to be a behavioral issue with certain individuals who show zero consideration for others. I would strongly suggest the hotel provide bilingual (English and Mandarin) reminders regarding quiet hours and verbally emphasize this policy during check-in to ensure all guests understand the house rules. It is a pity that such a great hostel's atmosphere is ruined by the lack of effective noise control.
• Orsini (7/5): Ottima esperienza - Poco rumoroso e pulito Bagni poco in ordine
• Diana (6/5): - Good value for money and the flaws were quite minor, it’s really hard to find such affordable accommodation in the centric area of Singapore so we were quite satisfied Everything is quite old; whenever you turn on the mattress the whole pod screeches and it’s quite loud; no cooking area (only microwave and kettle on the last floor 2x2 square meter space) and cups were quite dirty there. Some lockers are quite hard to open/close as the card doesn’t function great.

• Julia (6/5): -

• Jhonattan Pinzon Bohorquez (10/5): - Really amazing
• Tushar Malhotra (1/5): - Receptionist
• Abderrahmane (10/5): - Le personnel étaient très gentil et à notre service , je recommande fortement la propreté et le silence etait au rendez-vous !
• murat yıldırım (10/5): -
• Emma (6/5): Sympa - Expérience au top. Les cabines sont petites et pas bien profondes pour les grands 🤣 mais sympa et marrant pour 1 nuit. Pas d’eau pour la nuit passée dans cette auberge. L’emplacement est cool. Le quartier est bien animé très agréable
• Elvira (7/5): - Для разовой ночёвки сойдёт, мы впервые заселились в капсулу и вставали очень рано, поэтому было нормально Все слышно вокруг
• KARIN (8/5): -
• Noah (7/5): - Very easy self check in process, clean pods with a lot of functionality. Washrooms were not the most well maintained.
• OKAN (8/5): - Konum iyi fiyat iyi temiz ve güvenliydi
• Daniel (8/5): Lekkâh. - Het bed lag erg lekker, cozy feeling De pod was iets lichtdoorlatend, de ruimte was vrij koud en de deken best dun.
• Daniel (8/5): Beste hostel tot nu toe. - Sliep enorm goed en voelde knus aan. Geen lift.
• Jonathan (10/5): Was perfect. Will stay again. - The pods are excellent and have everything one needs. We loved everything and the location is excellent.
• Ioan (7/5): -
• Anna (1/5): -
• Cindy lorena (7/5): Good for a short sleep - All you need for a short sleep Bathroom And showers weren't very clean, there is no trash bin in the bathrooms. If the person above or under your pod moves you totally feel it.
• getawaydan (9/5): -
• Sanders (8/5): - Pods were cool and good location around a bustling night life and very easy to move around. Staff lovely chatty and willing to help with your planning etc No social aspect really, no where nice to sit down relax and speak to other guests. Also the pods are a little too warm yes there are fans but it can get very hot and uncomfortable
• Luttinger (9/5): Best Sci-fi Pod experience ever ever ever! - Best sci-fi hotel experience ever-- I loved loved LOVED my pod. SO MUCH. You could change the colors in the room-- it was cozy wthout being too small, it was just so awesome. And the people that worked there-- as well as the owner who we met-- were incredibly helpful and amazing and friendly. GO HERE!!!! Nothing. It was great. A teeny teeny bit rundown, barely-- but WHATEVER-- that is what makes getting into your AEWESOME SCI-FI POD even better!! God, I loved it.

• Anthony (10/5): -
• Justin (3/5): -
• Alain (10/5): - super expérience
• Katja (7/5): - Kätevä sijainti ja hinta-laatusuhde oli kohdillaan. Tarjolla oli shampoo ja suihkusaippua sekä pyyhe. Sisäänkirjautuminen oli helppoa myös yöllä, kun henkilökuntaa ei ollut paikalla. Ilmastointia pystyi säätämään. Kapseleiden seinät ovat todella ohutta muovia. Kuulin viereisten kapseleiden vieraiden kuorsaamisen korvatulppien läpi. Omassa kapselissani oli hallintalaitteiden kanssa ongelmia esim. tv ei toiminut ja valojen toiminnassa oli häikkää. Myöskään turvalokerikko ei toiminut, mutta onneksi tavarani mahtuivat päivien ajaksi kapselin edessä olevaan lukolliseen kaappiin. Kapselini oven lukko oli myös hajalla niin, että toinen ruuveista oli kokonaan irti. Oven pystyi siis saamaan auki ulkopuolelta hyvin pienellä vaivalla. Kerroin tästä henkilökunnalle ja se korjattiin nopeasti, mutta se meni uudelleen hajalle vain parin oven avaisun jälkeen. Olisin kaivannut ohjeita oven lukitsemiseen sisäpuolelta esimerkiksi oveen kiinnitettävillä ohjeilla. Wifi toimi ajoittain todella huonosti. Kapseleiden patjat kaipaavat uusimista. Tunsin kapselini lattian maatessani patjalla. Suurin osa muista vieraista ei käyttänyt suihkuverhoa käydessään suihkussa, jolloin wc oli myös aivan märkä.
• Shriya (7/5): - The Pod was spacious and comfortable, really liked the lighting options! The bathrooms were cleaned regularly and it was in a great location!! We could walk everywhere and the metro was an option when it got a bit hot too. The bathrooms had a bit of a smell at times and the pods were a bit annoying to get in and out of.
• Carys (7/5): -
• Jianwen (9/5): Nice place to stay - I like the lockers are inside the suites. I didn’t like that the door beeps when you open it and not close it. This could wake people up if you’re leaving at 0500.
• Neri (5/5): -
• Anthony (9/5): Very good value for money - Great location great staff very friendly and helpful
• Vladimir (8/5): -
• Patrycja (8/5): -
• Jessey (8/5): Goed! - Prima Space pod, fijne douche. Toch nog wel redelijk gehorig en mijn pod piepte heel erg bij elke beweging
• LIZDELENA (10/5): -
• Anna (10/5): - Der Inhaber war super freundlich und hilfsbereit. Hat uns einige Tipps auch für die Weiterreise nach Malaysia gegeben -
• Henrique (8/5): -
• Kim (8/5): -
• Nataly (4/5): -
• Thibaut (8/5): Une expérience très sympathique a Singapour - Le concept de capsules est original. Le confort est tout a fait correct. Le manque d'isolation phonique entre les différentes capsules.
