Categories

Cleanliness
5
Multiple reviews call out unclean facilities: dirty bathrooms, mold, unpleasant smells, ants in beds and generally 'not like the pictures'. Cleanliness is a clear weak point.
Service
9.5
Generally praised: friendly and helpful staff, accommodating, 24h reception. Some minor service lapses reported (e.g. not replenishing hand towels) but overall service is a strong positive.
Location
9.5
Very strong: repeatedly described as great/central in Chinatown, close to the train station and within walking distance of Marina Bay; location is a major advantage.
Room Quality
6
Mixed to negative: pods are small, creaky/plastic beds and thin mattresses, some pods lack A/C or charging ports; a few guests found pods more spacious and clean, but overall room quality is modest.
Amenities
7.5
Basic amenities present: lockers, TV in pods, free tea/coffee/water, hot water sometimes available. Issues noted with small lockers, no AC control, cramped showers and toilets.
Value for Money
8.8
Frequently described as cheap and good value for budget travelers; recommended for short, low-cost stays despite some shortcomings.
Food and Beverage
7.8
Limited offering mentioned (free tea, coffee and water). No substantial F&B service; treated as adequate for budget accommodation.
Overall Experience
8.3
Mixed overall: excellent location and budget value with friendly staff, but cleanliness and cramped/shared facilities reduce the experience for longer stays. Good for short budget visits.

Don't stay here if you can.
Pros:

Well located.

Cons:

Exceedingly poor hygiene. No sound proofing, so the pods are super loud. The mattress is very thin so hard to sleep. Doesn't get fully dark inside the pod. No AC inside the pod. Shower with terrible facilities.

Overall a subpar experience.

Pros:

Bien placé à Chinatown et à 5min du métro
On va dire que ça dépanne pour quelques jours pour payer pas trop cher

Cons:

Capsule peu confortable, matelas très fin et creusé
Pas d'insonorisation donc compliqué quand d'autres voyageurs sont bruyants
Salle de bain très simple et un peu sale

Very loud, couldn’t sleep
Pros:

Great location in the centre of China town and only a 5 minute walk from the train station

Cons:

The beds are so loud because they are all plastic so you will get woken up constantly throughout the night from the creaking sounds.
Mattress is very thin and the bathrooms aren’t very clean
