CUBE - Boutique Capsule Hotel @ Kampong Glam

This was a really interesting experience, and definitely worthwhile if you’re travelling solo through Singapore for a short period of time.||The good parts: very inexpensive ($50 AUD) in a country where hotel rooms are notoriously overpriced, clean, quirky experience, free breakfast (self-serve omelette station), there is plenty of space in the capsule for a suitcase (and there’s a keypad-protected cupboard underneath the capsule for luggage storage too), clean (both capsules and bathrooms), staff happy to replace towels when requested, and the Arab area of Kampong Glam has a nice vibe.||The bad parts: no daily housekeeping, confusing check-in process (you need to download an app), no lifts so have to use stairs a lot, it’s quite a long walk to the main road and even further to the MRT (important to note when transporting luggage), only fabric covering the capsule entrance (so no TV or music inside, must stay totally quiet)||All in all, I liked it here. If I was transiting through Singapore for 1 or 2 days I’d happily do this capsule hotel/hostel experience again. For longer stays it might be a bit too cramped.

This is really one of the better priced and definitely cleaner capsule hotels in the Bugis area. Right smack in Bussorah street where tourists take the iconic picture with the Sultan Mosque in the background. The cubicle is well sized and just right to keep your valuables like your day backpack and spare clothes inside while still having enough space to stretch out and sit upright (I’m 1.8m)Bed is firm and comfortable and didn’t leave me with a backache like some full serviced hotels do. Pillows were a little flat but they gave two and felt new and comfortable with the quilt. This is also one of the few capsule hotels that provide breakfast. Only that it starts at 8am and is quite a lovely basic spread. If you have to leave early then you’ll miss it. The toilets are very clean, body soap and shampoo smell great with a hint of mint. It is also spacious and one of the better looking ones. For a budget capsule it is VERY GOOD. And there are 5 showers upstairs to share so I haven’t had to queue for any so far. Compared to other reviews of nearby capsule hotels around the same price, this is definitely one of the best ones available. Ps: The nearby mosque plays the prayer at 5am. If you’re a light sleeper bring your ear plugs and you’re gold Few things to improve: To provide a communal iron where the corridor and lockers are. That table is a good height for ironing. The dryer takes 2 hours to wash and dry because they are power saving and there are no other nearby except 10-15mins walk away. The luggage storage area shouldn’t be at the walkway towards the kitchen but opposite the reception where it’s unused and will be more secure as it’s right in front of the reception. Enjoy!

I chose to book this hostel because of its location and good reviews. This is my first time staying in a hostel. We were able to check in earlier than our scheduled time, which was great. We were lucky that the bed assigned to us were on the lower bunk. Our room is located near the dining area, and we were also provided with a locker. The space was good enough for two people.||What I really liked about this place is the free breakfast and the location—super convenient. We originally booked for 3 nights but only ended up staying one night (though we still got breakfast twice). Our space wasn’t cleaned the entire time, which might be a downside for some.||If you're sensitive to noise, this place might not be for you. You might hear people snoring, moving around, or fixing their stuff especially if someone’s on the top bunk and they're not exactly gentle.||On the bright side, the bathroom is always clean. If you plan to go sightseeing after check-out, you can leave your luggage at the hostel for free.

The location of this place is really great. Nestled in the heart of the bustling Bussorah Street, 10 mins walk to MRT and great restaurants right outside the door. The rooms are clean, beds are comfortable. The only thing I would say is there are not enough bathrooms and they were not cleaned regularly enough. But other than that we were happy to stay there for our layover.

This is my first time tried capsule hotel and for timer I got best experienced when I stayed here even only for 1 night. The location very strategic, you can walk Sultan mosque with many shops sell souvenir here, and the nearest MRT is MRT Bugis street. I thought the capsule is very small, but turns out it's enough for me. I got at lower deck which more flexible if I wanna go to the toilet or anything. The bed also clean, amenities also completed, and we got sandals too which we can't use our shoes or sandals inside the rooms. In the below bed, there's a space to put our luggage with lock (we can setting the passkey). Inside our capsule there are reading lamp, locker with lock, mirror, hanger, and adjustable table. Overall, this capsule hotel was good, very clean, the service also was perfect, and good choice if you're looking budget hotel and perfect for solo traveller. Will comeback again if I wanna visit Singapore later.

Centrally located at the heart of Singapore, easily accessible to shopping, good food. Room was big enough for the 2 of us and so clean, we rested well after our midnight flight. Staff is so accommodating and kind to welcome us early morning late check-in. Bed was so comfortable and no smell at all. Nice cozy room.

Room was dark even when the light is turned on, towel provided has a little bit smell. But bathroom provides shampoo and shower gel and that’s great, including toothbrush. Breakfast is provided too but at night floor has a dead cockroach.  Location is convenient and it’s in the busy street, but you won’t hear noise at night.

Although the bathroom is shared, it is very clean. The shampoo and body wash smell great, and towels, toothbrush sets, slippers, and a filtered water dispenser are provided. Breakfast is also included, and if you get hungry at night, there is a vending machine available. Each bed comes with two pillows.Overall, it is perfectly fine for a solo stay. However, if you are assigned to the upper bunk, you will need to go up and down frequently, which can be a bit inconvenient.
