Cube Social Boutique Capsule Hotel at Boat Quay, hotel in Singapore

Attractively set in the Boat Quay district of Singapore, Cube Social Boutique Capsule Hotel at Boat Quay is located a 4-minute walk from Statue of Sir Stamford Raffles, 600 yards from National Gallery...

What a great location on Clarke Quay. It is also about a 10 minute walk to the famous merlion statue. It is close to many restaurants, but still able to have a quiet night's sleep. I appreciated the cleanliness of the place, along with some certain staff members, notably Dino, who made it a welcoming atmosphere. I appreciated the value for the money while maintaining safety and access to a good location.

CapsulePod@Aljunied, hotel in Singapore

Ideally located in the Geylang district of Singapore, CapsulePod@Aljunied is located 1.8 miles from Singapore Sports Hub, 2.7 miles from Bugis Street and 2.8 miles from Mustafa Center.

That, for a hostel, it provides you with silence and solitude. That included in your booking are the washing machines and dryers, the breakfasts (bread and spreads), and coffee and tea. The location, of course, is the best.

Jyu Capsule Hotel, hotel in Singapore

Jyu Capsule Hotel is well located in Singapore, and provides a shared lounge and free WiFi.

Great experience! Clean, amazing location, good customer service. Bathroom could feel like a sauna sometimes and the door entrance is beeping but you have privacy, its pretty quiet during the night, you get to change towel once per stay, you get free coffee and biscuits, drinkable water. I had a great stay! A mix of hotel with hostel.

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Great location. Really close to bay area, restaurants and shopping mall. Concept design and architecture - is really modern and something different than the "usual" ... But you must be ok with some "youth hostel design elements", just higher class.

    Affordable hostel in a great location. Very independent experience: everything is messaged to you or written down, just read and proceed. Well equipped with amenities for a comfortable stay if you're more of a backpacker type. Had a few issues on my end with schedule and mode of payment but Dee (staff) was very helpful about all of it.

    Great location and easy to find near the metro. Pretty close to all main attraction via metro. Good space and locker under the bed, not an overly social hostel which was disappointing but met some people on the walking tours advertised in the kitchen area.

    Great location for exploring central Singapore. Pretty comfy for a pod hostel, the shelve in the unit is at a pretty awkward height but that doesn't matter much. Definitely not the cheapest area, but good for a night out. More happy hours on this street than the rest of Singapore put together I think.

On a budget and want a convenient, central location - there is no problem with this hostel. Wifi works fine too.

    Best hostel I’ve ever stayed in - lets be honest who really wants to sleep with 10 strangers in a room and shared bathroom? i know I don’t but we were on a budget…. BUT this hostel is the best I’ve ever stayed in. I wouldn’t even say it feels much like a hostel, you have your own area with a desk and wardrobe and safe with a curtain plus a double bed and curtain - very private. Bathroom was kept really clean, nice breakfast and lovely staff. This has made me like hostels!! Location is also fantastic.

    Best hostel in Singapore. I’ve stayed in a few around Singapore and I stayed here on my last night- Wish I stayed at the start. Comfortable rooms for the price, free breakfast/tea/coffee, great location and most of all the guys who worked there are amazing. Some of the most helpful people I’ve come across, great vibe. It feels like youre staying at your uncles house or something. Good communal area that allows you to socialise, pool table, travel booked, instruments… the list goes on. Really clean and I felt safe and comfortable.
