Très bien
Pros:

Très bon logement, propre dans les chambres et super bien placé, avec métro à côté. Les espaces communs sont aussi super bien. Il y a de l’eau, une machine à laver à disposition.

Cons:

Peut-être la propreté des douches communes et certains équipements qui fonctionnaient pas des fois (comme l’eau chaude)

A bit more privacy in the capsules would make it perfect!
Pros:

Excellent location, close to everything, and great value for the price! The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, and the bed was really comfortable. Highly recommend!

Cons:

The entrance is a bit scary at first, but the hotel itself is really charming. The only thing that’s really annoying is that the blinds covering the beds aren’t at all opaque, and once the light inside the capsule is switched on, you can easily see everything that’s going on inside.

Great location, very average pod hotel.
Pros:

The location was very convenient. Less than 5 mins from the MTR and close to Arab street and Haji lane entrance with lots of cafes, restaurants and shops just a stone’s throw away.

Cons:

It was super basic considering the price. The pods were fine, but I would never class it as “boutique”.

위치, 가성비 만족
Pros:

위치가 정말 좋고 근처에 먹을 것이나 맛집이 많습니다. 샤워나 화장실 시설이 잘 되어 있고 작지만 알찬 라운지(공용냉장고, 커피머신, 정수기)가 있어서 좋았어요. 실내는 조용하고 아주 시원해서 매일 꿀잠 잤습니다.

Cons:

2층 베드 올라가는 게 쉽진 않았습니다. 다리가 불편하다면 사전에 1층 베드를 신청해야 할 것 같네요. 공짜로 주는 실내 슬리퍼는 부직포라서 젖는게 싫으면 별도로 실내용 들고와야 할거 같습니다

Construction budget, qui aurait pu être sympa avec un peu plus de soin
Pros:

L'hôtel se trouve dans Kampong Gelam, un quartier malais très vivant où on peut trouver des restaurants et des boutiques, tout en profitant des rues typiques. Le check-in et le check-out étaient faciles, le lit était confortable et le casier était relativement grand (même si trop juste pour deux valises). Il y avait un distributeur d'eau froide et des glaçons dans le congel. La prise dans la chambre est universelle.

Cons:

Les douches et les toilettes semblaient n'être nettoyées qu'une fois par jour. Elles étaient fréquemment sales (urine par terre et sur la lunette des toilettes, cheveux dans la douche, de l'eau partout par terre à cause de la douche) et nécessitaient de la maintenance (robinet par détection mal calibré, toilettes qui se tirent automatiquement toutes les quelques secondes même quand il y a personne, et une foule de petits problèmes de ce genre). Il n'y a pas de réelle d'installation pour manger (évier, couverts, etc.) malgré la présence d'un frigo et d'un micro-ondes. Beaucoup d'allers et venues en pleine nuit à cause des départs/arrivées (dont des gens pas très discrets...). Dans le pod, il n'y a qu'une seule prise pour deux personnes et elle est située à côté de l'oreiller, ce qui est très gênant. Attention, il y a des escaliers (5-6 marches) avant d'accéder à l'ascenseur, lequel est tombé en panne le dernier jour...
