- Ucab (6/5): The hive hostel in singapore review - The Hive Hostel in Singapore is usually where I stay whenever I visit and need a quick, budget-friendly place. Aside from the great location, the staff are also very friendly and the place is clean. There’s nothing I don’t like about the place itself. I just happened to have a bad experience during our stay. One of my friends had money stolen from her bag that was left on the bed. My Crocs also went missing when I left them just outside the shower. Since there are no CCTV cameras inside the rooms or in the bathroom area for privacy reasons, nothing could really be done about it.
Lesson learned — it’s always best to keep your belongings inside the lockers they provide

- Daniela michelle (1/5): I will not recommend. Was not very good - The Location was good Everything was very dirty and most of of all the whole environment was bad. I did not like that were just pods in a room.
- Arshad (9/5): - Good Good
- Jason (8/5): Couldn’t ask for much more in terms of getting what you pay for. It did the job and I would stay the - The lady working the counter when I arrived was really nice. There was a bit of a mix up with pods, but she did everything she could to fix it and was really kind. I would stay again. Probably a little far for transport wise for switching lines to get there from airport
- Chang Ting (6/5): - The hygiene is relatively good, and the bed is relatively clean Service still needs improvement
- Iain Flynn (8/5): Recommended and hassle free. - Laid back and hassle free. Generally a good place to stay for a capsule hotel. A bit warm at night, there was air con but maybe not quite powerful enough for 8 people.
- Thodoros (6/5): Disappointed - The actual capsule, bedding and linens were clean. The lockers were very small, so could only fit a small backpack. I had to leave my suitcase with the reception, except she was often gone, with noone attending the stuff. Also it seemed like random people who didn't stay at the hostel were hanging out at the common areas. If I was a female solo traveller I wouldn't feel really safe probably. Common spaces, bathroom etc weren't particularly clean also.
- Nicolás (9/5): -
- Judy (9/5): - Close the bus stops. Will come back again!
- Ravichandran (9/5): - Ok Ok
- Lauren (10/5): - The space pods are funky, super clean and comfy. Perfect location as the public transport in Singapore is spot on. Staff were nice and helpful. The air in the room is great but when you are sleeping with the blind on your pod closed it gets really hot and the fan doesn’t really ventilate well

- Suresh (3/5): - The A/C wasn't working, and the beds were so uncomfortable, ended up booking a room at a nearby Hotel for the 2nd night and skipped your place.
- Yann (7/5): - If you looking for a budget place in SG ... Just bring something for your ears 😉 L'attitude des autres voyageurs, pour certain aucun savoir vivre...
- Yann (7/5): - La gentillesse du personnel, le pod et son atmosphère intergalactique, le thé à volonté. Certain clients irrespectueux sans savoir vivre et prévoir des boules quies.

- Chan (10/5): always looking forward to stay here - the friendly place to stay in Singapore NIL
- Chan (10/5): always looking forward come back n stay - Staff are friendly and helpful. NIL
- Liam (7/5): Good - The pod concept is much better than a regular hostel The hostel team could be better at communicating. For example, booking.com says you can’t check in past midnight, the hostel never accepted my request to check in after midnight, they wouldn’t answer my communications, and I turned up at 12:15am not knowing whether I’d be able to check in. As well, I found the fan in my pod was very faint, so I was quite hot all night.
- Thiago (8/5): Very good -
- Stefani (5/5): Passable - The pod itself is quite comfortable and all seems clean. Staff is friendly. The facilities however are different in main reception building and the one next to it, where the toilet and shower are quite old. Overall all good but, as it was not the cheapest hostel, the facilities could be better.
- Miguel (6/5): Pleasant -
- Karin (7/5): Good - The pods were very nice, has a good sleep Kitchen, friendly staff
- Tanvir (6/5): Pleasant -
- Nikita (9/5): Superb -
- Nihar (7/5): Good - Pod experience was good. Got the privacy that's missing in bunk beds. Ac was decent. It's switched off between 3pm and 7pm but it doesn't get uncomfortable. Washrooms were clean. Overall value for money 👍🏼
- Chan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Atinder (8/5): Very good -
- Michael (9/5): Superb - I had a very late flight and arrived at the Hive about 02:30 Sunday morning. Although no staff was visible, my key was sitting the front desk with name attached. I quickly found my capsule and all went smoothly. In the morning, the coffee container was empty, however did get replenished a little later. Otherwise all was good
- Beemsingh (7/5): great value for stay upto 1wk, i will come back here for my short stays. - value for money, great for stay upto 1wk, good location, food choices. laundry service on site, free coffee and tea 24x7, common fridge, as any hostel has. lighting in the common rooms could be better, run some AC or more powerful fan in the common room, also perhaps a power wash of the floor in the common room, looks worn out. a bit more TLC in the common room would be great.
- Huang (8/5): Very good -
- Sylwia (10/5): I recommend - It’s very cool place, i had little troubles to find entrance, but other than that nothing to complain. It’s clean, toilets are clean too, good localisation.
- Ciara (6/5): Pleasant -
- Navodya (9/5): Superb -
- Noby (10/5): It was comfort to stay there - It was good and silent hostel
- Bansee (8/5): Recommend - Good location Nothing
- Beemsingh (7/5): Good -
- Liew (7/5): Good -
- Oscar (7/5): Good -
- Iiro (10/5): Exceptional - Everything else, clean toilets, showers, kitchen. Free coffee, tea, water. Strong wifi. Welcoming staff. Pod bigger than expected A little warm in the pod, not too bad.
Location could be better I guess.
- Kelyan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kay (7/5): Good - Very clean beds and bedding and towels Only microwave no stove
- Chee (6/5): Pleasant -
- Anuj (1/5): Bad - Near my office Very Frustrating
- Elsa (8/5): Good place to stay in a budget. Good value for the money:) - The pods were really nice and comfortable! Very nice and helpful staff:) The people staying there were an older crowd. The location was a bit out of the way, but it was close to public transport which was nice.
- Serene (8/5): Very good -
- Luís (10/5): Perfect accommodation! - Everything! Staying in a spacepod was a brand new experience and I totally recommend it. Clean hostel, nice location, good facilities!
- Esa (8/5): Great place - Hostel staff is very nice and helpful. Pods are equipped with 3 different lights, adjustable air flow, big mirror, 3 points you can hang your belongings and curtain (lockable from inside). They were comfortable, clean and safe. Hostel had free tea and coffee all time. Free self-service laundry at evening. There was many tables and chairs where you could eat, drink and read at any time. Because of the location you can hear the traffic from the road.
- Md (9/5): Very good. - Locations are very good, and staff are also. Nothing.
- Kamala (8/5): Very good - Location is good for going to Little India.
Pod is new and room is wide. Enough clothes hanger and lockers are good MRT to airport takes long way. The road is one way so you have to take a walk 15 minutes to reach the first stop
Less shower room and toilet
- Marios (10/5): Exceptional - The girl in the reception her name was Yen was vary helpful, we were looking for a place to sleep between our flight ,with early check in around 11 am and early check out the same day! After a demand via email they said if its an available room we could get it earlier. When we reach the hostel Yen gave us the keys for the check in immediately..👌😁
- Sui (7/5): Good - Communal lobby
- Masud (7/5): Good -
- Nicolas (10/5): Exceptional - The bathroom that was in the building was always dirty, and was outside, so during a rainy day it wasn't nice.
- Gavin (9/5): Enjoyable stay and staff were helpful - Location and the Pods No negatives
- Edward (8/5): Very good -
- Lazaros (8/5): Very good -
- Sarate (8/5): Very good -
- Jonathan (10/5): You get what you pay for.. - Clean comfortable capsules, fresh fluffy towels, clean bedsheets and linens. Free coffee all day. It's my 4th time to stay this trip but the Aircondition is not that cold during my recent stay.
- Teoh (8/5): Very good - Near to station. Only certain period allow change new bath towel if you stay longer.
- Syed (9/5): Superb - Good location NA
- Goh (7/5): Good -
- Patryk (7/5): Good -
- Savana (8/5): Very good - Cat Had to go outdoors to get to the toilet if your room is in the second building.
- Madana (8/5): Very good - Location
- Jonathan (10/5): It's worth a stay - It's my 3rd time to stay here and as usual the hotel staff are always accomodating. My bed is clean even underneath the mattress. Clean fresh sheets, pillows and towels. Free coffee all day.
The staff are mostly women from the Philippines so cleanliness is highly assured . Will definitely stay again as I'm already comfortable and familiar with the area. Feels like home to me. This time they always ran out of shampoo and body wash but you can always ask for refills. I always bring my own toiletries. It's better to be prepared and have options.
- Aryan (6/5): Pleasant -
- Diana (7/5): Good cost benefit - The capsules It was close to a Main Street, the whole night traffic noise.
- Jatun (8/5): Very good -
- Joana (4/5): Cheap, dormitory vibes and for people who are not clean freaks - If you are on a budget and not conscious about having your own toilet and okay with sharing rooms. The staff is nice. They also sell cup noodles. There is no nearby convenience store but if you need one you need to walk a bit. It was not clean especially the toilet and shower. It was difficult to sleep because the pod or bed area was a bit stuffy.
- Mohammed (7/5): Good -
- Mark (10/5): Exceptional -
- Whereismywife (10/5): Exceptional - Cat lovers's heaven Everything is good
- Leanne (10/5): Comfortable hostel, lots of seating areas, close to Little India and great markets and restaurants - Upgraded to a comfortable double pod bed Top of the plastic part of bed cracked
- Sanh (10/5): Exceptional - The living room is comfortable
- Boneratosairu (10/5): Exceptional - There's a common place where you can work. They have free coffee , water, and self-service laundry. Also, the capsule style has a little table for a laptop. It's also close to the train station and bus stop. I think going up to the top bunk bed creates noise, and I feel bad for those who are sleeping already. Also, the shower room near our room has no shampoo and soap so I have to go to the other building.
- Vsevolod (8/5): Very good -
- Roberto (7/5): Good -
- Julie (7/5): Good - Comfortable
Suits my purpose
