    Rooms are super clean and very comfy. Facilities like pantries are also present and are well-stocked. What i feel like can be improved is the toilets/showers. If you're planning to pay at the hotel, keep in mind they only accept payments via cash or TnG e-wallet app.

    Cheapest luxury hostel in town.. I came to stay during my business trip (solo). Initially I thought I might be crazy to try this out. It turned out to be a very good experience to sleep in the capsule. Highly recommended..

    Just checked out of this place. As a solo female traveller, this place made me feel safe. They have cctv in some of the common areas, that and most people staying there mainly kept to themselves - perfect for an introvert like me. When i checked in, i was given a short orientation tour of the place, which made me feel welcomed. Room, toilets and showers were all super clean. A towel was provided, and all shower stalls had both shampoo and body wash (some stalls had them but not refilled). The common space where you can do work in was mostly quiet and had enough charging outlets too, some with universal adapters plugged in. Breakfast was as previous reviewers mentioned, just packaged bread and cake - but there's some drinks from a machine like milo, teh tarik, coffee etc. But that's okay since there were plenty of food options outside of the hostel. Overall for the price paid, this was a really pleasant stay - will return again!

    Location is great but if you come for the gaming (PC), you might need to check the pc before you place the booking because some of the pc is faulty cannot be turn on. And some of the pc doesn’t have the game menu. Just be aware of this if you’re coming for gaming because the owner doesn’t have the capability to fix the pc. I ended up going into other public room just for the gaming experience.

    Intially i book 1 day, however the overall experience is fine and we decided to extend 1 more day. This location seem to be own by the aunty and uncle. The younger boy should be their son. They are quite ok especially the uncle. He may not smile that much but he is kind. During my 2nd day, i got flu and sick. The uncle gave me pills for recovery. Before we check out on 3rd day, I and my girlfriend bought a coconut drink for him as we're really thankful to him. Things you might want take note: If you take grab, the location of the GPS in grab will be different from goggle map. Goggle map will be the correct one. Is better u guide the driver with your google map when you near location or else you might have to walk another 100m. The correct location is on the left side by side the bakery, you have to look carefully or else you might miss. Same as when you wanted to take grab from this location, it will be different address in grab GPS. So is best that you monitor the grab route and call driver to guide him to where you standing. They will only provide 1 towel even you stay 2 days so please don't dirty your towel. If you need to change a new towel, you have to pay extra. Sat price will be higher than sunday. Dont bring too much clothings as there might not have enough space for you to hang your clothings. All will be share. There are some slippers outside the toilet and you may use it for shower.

    The room is basic and functional. Is clean as well. The soundproofing is bad but I brought my own earbuds before coming in so, I’ve expected it and slept well. There were no towels offered and I guess you would have to request for it. I brought my own towel to use and they have hangers in the room to dry it so it wasn’t that bad. The only toiletries provided are body and hair shampoo. The toilet floorings are like β€œgranite material” and is so uncomfortable hence, they do have slippers provided to wear them. The sink is a little high for my height-im 154cm, hence, for petite people like me, washing your face at the sink can be a little awkward but, it still works. The free breakfast is just packaged bread that they would lay out at the counter. Overall, is a place I would only stay not more then one night. Everything is definitely what you paid for.

    Clean. Novelty (space theme). Cheap. Location. These are the good points. Living room, pantry, toilet and shower are shared. In our dormitory, there are 8 single and 4 double capsules. You get your privacy but there is no soundproofing.

  • 5/5 Angeline L. 10 months ago on Google
    Interesting and convenient place to have a good night rest. The owner and his wife are friendly and helpful. So touched by his wife gesture for giving me a mask after knowing I did not have extra for the next day.

    A very budget friendly place to stay for a few days! Cosy environment with comfortable capsule.

    The place wasn't really comfortable for me and my friends. We were quite cramp in the dorm room.

    Capsules look better in photos than in real. Hygiene needs to improve.

  • 4/5 Neron 1 year ago on Google
    Rooms are kind of okay. If you are going to experience capsule beds for the first time then you go there for once. But the location is quite far from the city centre.

  • 4/5 Bethanne C. 1 year ago on Google
    location is far because public transport like bus or train is not available. Their rooms are clean as well as the bathroom

  • 2/5 jasmine g. 1 year ago on Google
    Dont believe all these good review. The place is quite cram. Too many dorms in a room. No space at all. Regreted to book this place.

  • 5/5 Oakley B. 1 year ago on Google
    This was such a cute/quirky place to stay! It was very clean and well kept, the capsules are actually very spacious with heaps of room (my 6ft1 partner was able to comfortably stretch out fully). It's very quiet and in a good location with heaps of cafe's and restaurants around!
