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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
