- Nadine (8/5): -
- yujie (8/5): comfortable for solo trip, for 2 or more, typical hotel is better - everything is clean, air donditioner is enough no staff at counter in early morning and night
- Katia (5/5): -
- Hermannsson (7/5): -
- Shih Hao (7/5): - 房間乾淨 蠻大的 裝潢很新 晚上冷氣很冷、洗澡與廁所是一起的 所以會很濕、廁所沒有冷氣 我從房間進去後眼鏡都會起霧
- Radostin (8/5): -
- JINGYING (10/5): 值得再次入住 - 距离地铁站非常近,位置容易找到,公共区域卫生每天都有打扫,碰到的其他客人也都很有礼貌,能休息好
- Shintaro (8/5): -
- Efthymios (7/5): -
- Jodi (10/5): - Great pods in the heart of Chinatown. They had all the facilities needed for a comfortable stay and it was very clean. We stayed in a private pod for 4 people and had a great time. Free tea and coffee also available in the communal area was a nice touch. Will recommend. All good.

- Hans-Peter (7/5): Concept intéressant. J'y ai passé 4 nuits sans problèmes. - Les installations modernes et le bon état général de l'hôtel. L'effort et le souci de l'équipe de maintenir les locaux propres. Le concept et le rapport qualité/prix. Manger à l'intérieur est interdit. Il manque un espace pour manger quelques snacks sans vouloir faire de la cuisine.
- Eddie (2/5): Disappointing stay - Good location Our final stop after 6 months of travelling, and unfortunately the weakest stay of the trip.
The bathroom setup was not ideal — the toilet and shower are in the same cubicle, which often left the space very wet and, at times, unhygienic. On one occasion even the toilet paper was soaked. There is also no proper dry area to get changed outside of the sleeping capsules.
We also had an issue with the electronic shoe lockers, which stopped working while we were out in the evening. As there is no staff on-site after around 6pm, we had to wait for assistance, which delayed our plans.
Finally, due to an airline cancellation linked to ongoing conflict, we had to shorten our stay and contacted the property around a week in advance. While we understood the booking was non-refundable, we were disappointed that no flexibility or partial adjustment was offered given the circumstances.
Overall, the stay felt quite basic for the price, and the lack of flexibility and on-site support made the experience less enjoyable than expected.

- Jevgenij (9/5): -
- Allison Gianina (8/5): - La ubicación y la modernidad del establecimiento. Que los baños sean mixtos, pues limita el poder cambiarse afuera de las duchas, ya que en estas no hay ventilación.
- Griffin (9/5): Hostel with hotelvibes - It is a hostel that has hotel facilities and the location was very convenient. It is a small hotel but they use every space they have and the bathroom was really nice. The lift was so slow and quite old. Further the bathroom was really warm. So after a shower I was already sweating. Express check-out is a little inconvenient because to express Check-out you need to take off your shoes. Better to have a postkist on the lowest level with a slot near the check-in post. Also the wallinlet for headphones did not work on the tv so give some explanation how the tv and headphone work or give in the amenities box a headset that will work.
- Abbie (8/5): -
- Tasi (10/5): - Great location in the heart of chinatown and a short walk to the famous Maxwell food centre. Some great Matcha and coffee spots within a minutes walk. Check in was efficient and being given a bag with a towel, toothbrush, toothpaste and slippers was a great highlight. Would reccommend and also stay here again but probably on the lower bunk!
- Holly (8/5): -
- Celena (7/5): Decent capsule once you are in it - Location It was difficult to get in and out of the capsule
If you lower the privacy shade you can’t get any air flow
- Adi (10/5): -
- Mr (8/5): คุ้มค่า - สะอาด -
- Bence (10/5): I would definitely choose it again if i was looking for a budget option - I like how clean it is, there are many locker options for smaller bags. There’s complimentary coffee or tea along with filtered water The toilets and showers are in the same small rooms, and there are smaller rooms where it’s harder to place dry clothes, i would suggest more hangers

- Krzysztof (10/5): - Fantastyczna lokalizacja. Bardzo wygodne miejsce. Czysto, schludnie
- Inka (9/5): Täydellinen sijainti ja oleskelu 1-2 yön reissulle Singaporeen. Siistiä ja toimivaa. - Erittäin hyvä sijainti ja kovin siisti. Sopiva muutamaksi päiväksi jos ajatus enemmän kierrellä ja nähdä kaupunkia. Ihmisiä oli aika vähän ja ei ongelmia mm. wc/suihkujonojen kanssa. Jos majoitus olisi täynnä, olisi varmaan aika kova ruuhka ja äänekästä. Kahden hengen kapseli oli tilava ja mahduttiin hyvin sinne, vaikka puolisoni on 195cm pitkä! Kaikki laatikot ja lukot piipittävät kovaa. Jos olet herkkäuninen, ei sovi sinulle. Tavarasäilytys oli epäkäytännöllinen, aivan huoneen perällä kaukana omasta kapselista.
- YI TING (10/5): 安靜乾淨涼爽舒適隱私,回新加坡一定會繼續住 - 位置在牛車水的一個小路上,整體來說真的很方便。非常喜歡整潔度的部分,超級乾淨明亮,個人膠囊也很有隱私,絕對會想回訪 比較不方便的部分是進旅館本身要脫鞋子,換上旅館提供的紙拖鞋(或不要穿也可以)。我覺得不方便的點是我穿的鞋是一個要綁鞋帶綁很久的靴子,所以每次穿脫我都覺得好不方便,但是一般穿脫很方便的布鞋或拖鞋的人應該就沒差,換下來的鞋子在外面有鎖的置物櫃可以放,也很放心。
- Denny (8/5): Prima voor een nachtje - Bed was comfortabel, goede luchtcirculatie, goede douche, goede locatie De hele nacht groot licht aan in de gang bij de 2 persoons capsules.Het was moeilijk om stil te zijn, doordat de kluisjes geluid maken bij open en dicht doen, deur maakt geluid. Schoenen kluisje sloot moeilijk.
- Anja (10/5): -
- Tiên (10/5): -
- Anders (7/5): Decent budget place in the heart of Chinatown - Excellent location, comfortable capsule, no-nonsense operation Quite worn and cheaply built. While the capsule itself had no issues, the shower heads are loose, the paint comes off in a number of places, and the modern decorations are a thin shining-up of the building. It's clearly built with household-grade furnishings and materials, not commercial ones.
Durians are not allowed inside the hostel, but, it's situated right atop one of Chinatown's durian sales booths. Thus, there's a permanent slight smell of durian at all times—part of the charm, but, might offend some noses.
My main gripe is that the card readers all make a fairly loud noise. They really should, dunno, prick a nail through the speakers of at least the one for the dorms. 😶

- Claudia (10/5): Great staying - So clean and nice hostel Doesn’t have activities
- Aleksandra (9/5): -
- Vincenzo (9/5): Functional accommodation 👍🏻 - Convenient, quite comfortable, friendly staff, staff helped getting taxi to the airport, in the heart of China town , underground train just up the road @ a very reasonable price… if you want to walk to the gardens by the bay it’s about a 40 minute walk, wear hats or use umbrellas as the sun is very strong in Singapore 👋🏻 If you’re claustrophobic, it’s not the place for you …. Very small hostel/hotel but functional… it’s a good idea but a little inconvenient having to take shoes on & off all the time & putting slippers on… on arrival one of the machines wasn’t working, not scanning passport & if one of the staff members weren’t there I would have struggled, just saying… they need more machines but unfortunately it’s probably due to space as it’s quite a small accommodation….

- Andrew (8/5): -
- Petra (8/5): Practical stay-over for a short-term stay - Location. Practicality of late check in. Cleanliness. Combined wet room-style bathroom and toilet, lacking surfaces for personal items.
- Damian (10/5): Czysto i dobra lokalizacja - Czystość Nie wymagam wiele za tą cenę
- Konrad (7/5): - Location is convenient Can get noisy in the rooms, also bathrooms sometimes fully occupied
- Ya Jiun (9/5): -
- ZIJUN (10/5): -
- Meghan (7/5): Great location & convenient! - Excellent location in Chinatown! Easy self serve check in. Safe box, shelf, lights, 2x power outlets and 2x hooks in your capsule, and a real blanket not just a sheet.
It is just a glorified hostel though but the only affordable option compared to a proper hotel or private room in Singapore so it did the job! I’d stay again :) The air con is insane in the room and (by law) the light in the room has to be left on - bring your night mask as a lot of light still comes into your pod even with the curtain down.
- Aisling (10/5): Perfect stay - Very clean, great location, pods were really comfy, we slept really well! The only thing we could say is that it would be nice to have a changing room to get dressed etc as the join bathroom/shower rooms tended to be wet and steamy majority of the time.
- MarkoSmir (8/5): -
- Jaime (8/5): Superó nuestras expectativas - A pesar de ser un hotel cápsula, la cápsula era bastante cómoda y “espaciosa”. Los baños estaban limpios y no tuvimos que esperar para usarlos casi nunca.
La ubicación es perfecta, en pleno china town y pudiendo llegar a pie a todos lados.
- ion (10/5): Highly recommended for short stays. - Great to be met with pleasant, helpful staff during a hectic trip 😊 This place is very convenient for a short stay; it is easily accessibility by public transport. The bathrooms were for both male and female.
- HISAKAZU (10/5): -
- Peilun (8/5): -
- Mikołaj (7/5): - Dobra lokalizacja w samym środku Chinatown, dzięki czemu wokół jest mnóstwo miejsc gdzie można zjeść. Hostel jest czysty i nowy. System z kartami magnetycznymi sprawia, że przy każdym wejściu do pokoju wydobywa się dźwięk, a same drzwi chodzą tak głośno, że co chwilę się budziłem w nocy. Może akurat miałem pecha i osoby z mojego pokoju były wyjątkowo ruchliwe, ale wyobrażałem sobie że hostel kapsułowy będzie miałem izolowane kapsuły. Bardzo źle spałem.
- Agnes Nicolette Loewe (10/5): -
- Pius Anton (9/5): - Super zentral!!
Kapseln waren echt ruhig für so einen großen Schlafsaal.
Kekse, Kaffee und Tee standen jederzeit zur Verfügung. Wenn man aus dem Schlafsaal hinausgeht ist man im Flur/ gemeinschaftszimmer/ Küche/ Büro der Mitarbeiter/ Eingang gleichzeitig.
Das macht alles etwas chaotisch.
- Ng (8/5): -
- Caleb (10/5): - This was a fantastic place to stay, great value for money, and in a very fun area of Singapore. It is very close to many fun spots in Chinatown, and a safe, clean, very comfortable accommodation. nil
- Marco (6/5): -
- Diane Lai (10/5): -
- Gonzalo Nicolas (8/5): -
- Lance (8/5): - Capsules are the affordable option in Singapore. You need the key card for every move you make.
- Flavia (10/5): - Very clean, super well located. I stayed in a mix dorm, and all good, the bed was comfy. I go to Singapore often, and I will stay there again for sure.
- Samuel (10/5): -
- Krzysiek Kowaluk (9/5): -
- Wiktoria (10/5): -
- Pius Anton (9/5): - In der Kapsel war es recht ruhig und es wurde sich ziemlich an die Ruhezeiten gehalten.
Kaffee, Tee und Kekse waren echt ein netter Zusatz! Generell war die Ausstattung sehr gut.
Lage super zum Erkunden von Singapur, aus der Tür direkt ins Getümmel. Auch die Bahnanbing lässt nichts zu wünschen übrig. Wenige Interaktionen mit dem Personal (Self-check-in).
Alles war recht eng, der Vorrang von unserem Zimmer ist gleichzeitig Durchgang zum Bad, Büro des Personals und kleine Küche.
Licht im Flur (wovon die ganzen Kapseln abgehen) geht nachts nicht aus.
- rulin (8/5): -
- Nguyễn (8/5): Great - Wonderful stay for single travellers, it my second time here and it still very great. Everything was clean, smell great and confortable Need tower change everyday, i stay more than one so the tower is wet and very humid. Make me kinda unconfortable. The room is great but kinda hard to reach on the upper bed and the ac kinda hot
- Guenther (9/5): -
- Zoé (10/5): Super séjour dans cet hôtel. 3 nuits qui se sont très bien déroulée j’y retournerai avec grand plaisir. Personnel très g - Les règles sont strictes et respectées de tous ce qui permet un endroit calme agréable et surtout propre !!
Les chambres sont climatisées les lits sont très confortables Il n’y a pas de climatisation dans les douches toilettes , il y fait donc très chaud.
- Sayaka (7/5): 安いけど清潔感があるコンパクトな宿 - 清潔感があります。 スタッフの方が時間限定なのでなにかトラブルがあったら困りそう。

- Hao (10/5): -
- Fabienne (8/5): Great value and location - The capsules (more like dorm beds based on the fact there is no door to close) were perfectly arranged, organised and spacious. I felt really comfy here. The value for the price is excellent and the location is also great for exploring singapore. The common area and wash room felt a bit tight, with quite a lot of people around. Not necessary mingling but just getting ready and started for the day.
- ANGSHUMAN (9/5): -
- Tony (7/5): -
- Metzler (9/5): - The staff was really attentive
- Kym (8/5): Convenient, clean, comfortable - Loved the location and the capsule had everything I needed including locked storage inside the capsule, amenities and a pull down shelf I didn’t like that I did automatic check in and received my room number on the screen with no verification sent to my email
- Tognola (6/5): -
- Uzma Abdul Rasheed (8/5): The prices are high. Good for just a night stay in China Town - The vibe. No 24/7 staff for assistance.
- Chris (9/5): -
- katell (10/5): Excellent séjour, hébergement parfait - Très propre, calme, bien équipé. On est plongé au coeur du China town.
