Luxurious Pods

“I was really impressed by the luxurious feel of the pods. They have a pleasing wood texture and a clever design that includes a fold-out shelf for my laptop. The air circulation was perfect with two aircon blowers distributing cold air effectively. I truly appreciated the comfort of the bed and the two pillows, made for a good night's sleep.” view full review

Self-Contained Luxuries

“The bathrooms were a surprise delight! Each pod had access to self-contained bathroom units that included a spacious shower cubicle with a rain shower fitting. The sound-proof design made it feel like I had my own ensuite, a luxury I did not expect at a budget accommodation. They truly exceeded my expectations with these facilities.” view full review

Compact Yet Comfortable

“The design of the pod is compact but surprisingly spacious. I was able to store my belongings in a lockable space under the bed, which gave me peace of mind. Plus, the provision of earplugs was a thoughtful touch for ensuring a restful sleep despite being in a shared room. It truly felt safe and comfortable.” view full review

Convenient Common Area

“I loved that there was a well-organized common area which served as a perfect space for some quiet study or relaxing after a long day. The water dispenser and coffee machine in the common area were incredibly convenient. It allowed me to rehydrate after exploring the city, and I appreciated having a space to unwind.” view full review

I had an interesting stay at Pod Hotel, which felt quite unique and different from a conventional hotel. The staff were extremely helpful, and the breakfast provided was a nice touch. However, the sleeping arrangements were rather cramped and noisy, making it not the best option for those looking for a peaceful night's rest. Overall, it's a fun choice if you're adventurous and don't mind the atmosphere of a hostel.

My stay at this boutique hotel was quite impressive! The amenities were excellent, and the hotel had a very modern vibe. I particularly appreciated the friendly service from the staff, who always assisted me promptly. However, I did encounter some issues with the bathrooms not being as clean in the mornings, which was a downside to an otherwise pleasant experience. Overall, I believe it offers great value for money when compared to other options in the area.

I had an amazing experience staying at this hostel. The facilities were modern and clean, and the staff was extraordinarily helpful. The location was just perfect, within walking distance to two MRT stations and surrounded by both tourist attractions and local spots. However, the breakfast could get crowded as the common areas were a bit limited in space. Overall, I would highly recommend this place as it offers great value for money.

I found the hotel to have a quirky entrance, which was a bit off-putting at first, but the private room overall was comfortable despite being a bit cramped and not as private as I'd hoped. The staff were super helpful and friendly, and Travis in particular made my stay memorable with great local recommendations. However, the location is slightly away from the main attractions, and the breakfast options left a lot to be desired.

While it's along a main road, the hotel is not very close to the MRT and is a bit removed from the main tourist areas.

Breakfast options were basically rice and noodles, which wasn't ideal for me, and could use a variety boost.
