    This place needs to be SHUT DOWN!! During my two night stay here (which ended up becoming one night) a boy DROWNED and DIED in the pool during the 'pool party' on the 13th Dec. We saw him go under and my friend tried searching the insanely deep pool (which has no lights in it, for a start!!). For OVER 30 minutes we alerted 5 or more different members of staff!!! telling them that someone was at the bottom of the pool drowning and that they need to get a lifeguard in there or drain the pool or do something!!. We were completely ignored for no valid reason, with one staff member even going as far as to gaslight us saying 'it's bali haha you might have seen a ghost'. Because of the disgusting ignorance of this hostel's staff and management an SOMEONE IS DEAD. After 30 minutes of trying to get staff to listen to us someone jumped in and eventually found the body. It took THIRTY (30) MINUTES!!!!! Not only does mycapsulebali encourage binge drinking, balloon-taking and swimming at the same time during their 'karaoke' and 'pool parties' etc. but they have no staff members trained in cpr or lifeguarduarding. There isn't so much as a protocol for when a guest tells someone that 'there's someone drowning in the pool'. Instead, you are ignored. When the body was taken out of the water the staff literally did nothing!! I wish I was joking it was honestly the most disgusting thing I have ever witnessed and has caused me to question my faith in humanity. 3 or 4 different GUESTS attempted cpr whilst other GUESTS screamed at staff to call an ambulance, an ambulance that never even turned up. Since this tragic incident, my friends have visited the Balinese police in order to give a statement and open up an investigation but were essentially laughed by said police. THIS PLACE NEEDS TO BE SHUT DOWN. Please, I beg you, do not book a stay at this vile establishment!!!!!!! Doing so would only support heartless, money-hungry individuals whose ignorance is to blame for a preventable death.

    This is most terrifying place to live in. The staff do not care about their guest safety. All they care about throwing partying, and binge drinking. On the second night of our stay- a guy drowned in the pool and died. when my friends informed the staff , they ignored it by saying itā€™s a ghost and we should have fun in Bali. There are no lights in the deep swimming pool and no staff is assigned to keep a look at the pool whilst hosting a pool party. The staff were not properly trained on how to handle a situation like that. It took them 10 mins to actually call an ambulance and the ambulance never arrived. he was long gone due their ignorance. The guest were trying to the cpr. AND on the first night a supposedly drunk guy tried to get into my friends bed and were watching her sleep. When we complained about it to the reception , the staff said that manager is offering free drinks and food to us as a bribe but they will not take any action against the guy. Do your mental health a favour and donā€™t stay here.

    Somebody drowned and died in the swimming pool! Myself and my friends were supposed to spend 2 nights at this hostel but left on our second evening after a man drowned during the pool party whilst staff members were partying and doing balloons. We saw the man drown and immediately informed staff members after one of us tried to swim to the bottom of the pool to save him but couldnā€™t find him. The first staff member ignored what we were telling him and walked away. The second didnā€™t seem to believe us and after shining her torch at the pool for a couple of seconds walked away too. Another staff member told us that the man we saw drown was probably a ghost and that itā€™s normal to see these things in Bali. After 30 minutes, one man swam to the bottom of the pool and found the manā€™s body. Staff members refused to call an ambulance and did nothing to help, as other guests ran to get a defibrillator and attempted to resuscitate him but it was too late. Their dorms are also mixed and have no locks so on our first night one of us woke up to a random man trying to climb into her bed at 4am. Donā€™t stay here. The staff donā€™t care about guest safety and are putting people in danger.

    Do not stay here someone DROWNED. The staff donā€™t care about guest safety. I was staying here with friends and a guest drowned in their pool during the pool party were binge drinking is encouraged. My friends saw him go down and immediately were trying to alert staff and go down to find him, however there is a really deep end, due to the diving board, and you canā€™t see the bottom, making this very difficult. Despite being told, the staff brushed my friends off and claimed they were just seeing things, after alerting more staff it took them at least half an hour for someone else to help and eventually find and bring up the body and chaos ensued with other guests doing cpr. A very traumatic experience dealt with horribly by the staff and a man is now dead. Another night a man tried to get into my friends bed whilst she was sleeping and when questioned about it in the morning claimed to be drunk and didnā€™t remember. The hostel were informed but stated that they couldnā€™t kick him out as he was a paying customer, disgusting.

    It was a below average stay overall. We checked in late around 2am, the bar guy asked for our passports so that we don't leave without paying until morning when reception opens at 6am. We mentioned, we are good to pay the entire money in deposit, but they were definitely not okay with it. The place where they were about to keep the passport was a simple unlocked drawer. Didn't feel welcomed at all. We had to sleep outside by the pool in mosquitoes. The rooms had bad AC, we were sweating a lot at night. Bathroom have no latches. Might be good, if you checkin during normal times. Update after below review: Our flight got delayed and had to face this, even after confirmation over email (chat with Dewi) that we'll reach late. They didn't tell us they'd want to keep our passports as a "security deposit". Now, it definitely feels rude. Regarding the AC problem, everyone else was sleeping without bedsheet as well. We had 4 friends staying together. Everyone felt the same. To the owner- please be open to feedback, reviews are personal experience reviews. šŸ¤˜

    My favourite hostel I've stayed. So much fun, something going on every day. If you love to party this is the place hands down. Really gorgeous rooms, comfy beds and lovely common areas, always so clean. The staff are fantastic too and the food is absolutely delicious. Location is brilliant, a 3-5 min walk to the main bars. Honestly such a good place, loved it!!

    Very unclean:( The bedding seemed okay the first night I stayed but after returning to the hostel on the second day there was a horrible smell. I realised after seeing the sheets came away from the bed that the mattress was almost black it was so dirty!! And the sheet were covered in yellow and brown stains!! After asking staff for new bedding, they told me I could change beds and AGAIN the bedding was covered in yellow and brown stains and smelt soo badly of dampšŸ˜­ I think it was the air conditioning causing all the damp in the room and my friend also got quite a sore throat from this as well. :/ Also, according to the sign on the wall, if you have your period and bleed on the sheet you have to buy the sheets (i think this is an absolutely disgusting rule to have) Was very sad as the staff actually seemed very friendly and the other facilities (pool, bar etc) are good and seems a great place to party if youā€™re into that!

    Capsule Hotel seminyak was one of the best hostels ive stayed at, walk through the front entrance and thereā€™s guests drinking, blasting music and having a great time. If youā€™re solo travelling and looking to meet people for cheap, definitely come stay here.

  • 5/5 Sharelle T. 1 year ago on Google
    One of my fav hostels in bali so far. The pool area is lovely to chill in the day and the events are amazing. We joined the Thursday bbq with free flow drinks, karaoke and tattos and it was SO fun! Despite the party atmosphere I've managed to sleep without issues. I think some of the showers could do with replacing.

  • 5/5 Jason B. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place to stay in the heart of Seminyak especially if you're new to Bali or the area it is very easy to get to any place whether it's the beach, night life, local markets or any of the surrounding areas like legian, Kuta and canggu. If you're into parties and a starting point to get to know other travellers they have it covered. If you need tours booked they have it covered. Plus you can easily stay in the comfortable individual pods in the mixed dorms or female only dorms but also have a selection of private rooms. Pools, parties, drinks Bar and tours are all here. Special thanks to the legends Arta and Devi for being awesome during the stay šŸ¤™šŸ½
