Unique stay
Pros:

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.

Sympa
Pros:

L’emplacement est idéal. Les lits sont propres et plutôt confortables.

Cons:

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.

Gut und Günstig und mal was anderes
Pros:

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.

Cons:

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.

Pros:

Great location, comfortable bed.

Cons:

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.

Correcto
Pros:

La ubicación me gustó mucho.
Las instalaciones están correctas, coinciden con las fotos.
El personal es atento y amable.

Cons:

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.

Interesting to try
Pros:

It has AC. The bed was comfortable.
Showers decent

Cons:

I thought they would be more sound proof. You can hear a lot. Bring earplugs. The common area gets dirty easily.

Pros:

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.

Cons:

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.

Good location, moderate pod but terrible hospitality.
Pros:

The location was good, and the pods looked great and were spacious

Cons:

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.

Cons:

Not being able to turn off all the led lights at night, specifically for the outlet fan. This made it difficult to sleep.
