Galaxy Pods @ Chinatown

Location is excellent, close to MRT and Chinatown shops / mall Breakfast one of the best available for a hostel Needs to have fridge and microwave for guests. TV in pod doesn't work. Water cooler serves out warm water and staff don't fix this when asked Pods aren't sound proof and some guests really don't give a pigs behind if they keep talking at maximum volume at 2am, if you are staying with others have some CONSIDERATION!

Good breakfast and available early Enclosed pods have reasonable air flow Location is absolutely 5 star Needs a fridge and microwave access for guests to get 5 star for facilities Really strict on 2pm check in time, but does offer luggage storage if early

Near mrt station Chinatown (NE4 or DT19) choose exit A (pagoda st etc) walk straight, turn left then turn left again. 24hrs receptionist, you can do late check in anytime. Breakfast was awesome, boiled egg, bread, jam, cereal, milk, coffee n tea of course. I can hear other guest talking until 5 am😩 hello that’s sleeping hour. Thank God i wasn’t hearing other guest making love🙏🏻😄 shared bathroom was very clean👍🏻

Had a 2-nights stay at Galaxy Pods and it was well worth the money! Location obviously was fantastic if you want to roam around ChinaTown with the MRT being just around the corner. Despite the pods looking rather small, it was spacious enough when inside. I'm a little claustrophobic, but the pods felt great and the matress including the pillows were extremely comfortable. Facilities were also great too, toilets and bathroom were always available. 5 stars for Galaxy Pods!

Cheapest and most unique accommodation, perfect for an international trip. Location really good, it is located in the Chinatown area where food are readily available even late at night. It is just 7mins walk to McDonalds and 7/11. 2mins walk to the nearest bus stop and about 5-10mins walk to the nearest MRT station. Accommodation was superb! The attendants were Filipina and they were very accommodating and helpful. Gives you very specific instructions and directions. Cleanliness, overall the place was clean. I just noticed few strands of hairs in my bed but that doesn’t bother me anyway. The CR is well maintained the common area is a bit crowded coz of luggages but its a common hostel like scenario. They serve free breakfast, bread, cookies, jam, milk and coffee!

Room was big enough for walking, distance between capsule better than other hotel capsule bed. Mix room (man and woman) but safe. Room with automatic light control, if somebody walk it will light. Bed was big enough, supplied with 2 standardpillow and 1 small pillow, towel and white linen. Free standard breakfast like bread and jam, milk, eggs, hot and cold water. Bed is in same room with bathroom with hot water, and several sink for brushing teeth/wash hands. Single and double capsule ready. Sometime noise in the night when some people walk and talk. even a couple do ML early in the morning in the closed door capsule. Futuristic capsule. Nice experience. Near chinatown and bus stop, train station. Many restaurant nearby. Safe neighbour for children. Not so crowded and quiet environment. A drink machine supplied outside hotel so we can buy some cold can/bottled drink and sit in some high chair in front of the hotel. Big enough safety box for our cabin luggage. Capsule with door can open and close with keycard. So its safe if we keep inside or keep big luggage when we go out. Nice friendly staff. 10 dollar for deposit, can easily take when we check out. So its nice to try new experience stay at this hotel and safe some money to spend / shopping hehehe than stay in star hotel.

2nd time here. Will still be my favorite capsule pod!

The one positive, the staff are very nice and accommodating. The rest is all negative. I will start by saying there are other “space pods” in Chinatown far far better. This one is over a karaoke bar with drumming bass all night. That alone is nightmare material. The bed pad is about 1 inch thick, making the bed hard as a rock; I have bed sores and hip pain from sleeping on what feels like cement. If you are tall like me, forget about it. The single pod was like a coffin in which I could not move and after that I upgraded to a double (for just me) and although better, still won’t let me sleep on my stomach or back; I’m stuck on my right or left side only (back to my hip pain). Breakfast is bread, butter, jam, hard boiled eggs (with grey yokes), stale cereal, and kinda like coffee. There are 20 people per room, if you are lucky, other people are kinda quite, if not lucky, they are not and talk, bang, laugh, and carry on until you have to shout out, “shut the F up”. Oh, and the pods are hot as hell with no air circulation. I have to keep the door open to breath and I’m luck in that I have a portable fan powered by USB; without that I’d probably be dead by now. Can it be worse, yes, my power plug has a short, so no recharging my phone or computer. The bathrooms are gross, bring flip flops because only the brave who don’t care about their health would put a bare foot on the floor, of course you might have to wait a while to shower because 40 people share 4 shower/toilets (showers are in the toilet). I do have a second positive, they have (crooked) TVs that pirate free movies with showbox and other illegal apps on their android boxes; my TV is burned out though. I will never ever stay here, in fact I’m now turned off from all pods. The other “space pod” is significantly better, but for an extra $20 USD I’d rather stay a normal cheap motel room. Book now if a decent night sleep means nothing to you

The room was clean, staffs are helpful and friendly. The living and eating area is in the sleeping room, so that make noise so much when people are doing things and talking in the room, I would recommend to separate these area, should not be together in the same room. Bathroom was good, nice shower.

Hostel was clean and close to mrt station(3 min walk away). Personal was helpful and cheerful. Even they let me leave my luggage there until my flight and take a bath after check out. Also it was such a different experience staying in capsule. I would stay there again. Strongly recommend.

stayed in single pod. the experience was amazing but the audio of my tv is not working (so check it first) breakfast was nice (boiled eggs, cereals, bread, jams, milk, oj, tea, coffee.) friendly and helpful staff. nice location

We were really glad we chose to stay here mainly for the perfect location at a good value price. Yes the walls are quite thin so you can hear people who snore or move a lot in their pod but we had pretty decent sleep considering there’s 12 pods in the room and they’re fully closed off so you get privacy. I would recommend this if you just want a good value bed which is centrally located. Plus it feels like a space pod which is cool!

After a nmbr of trips to Sgp, this was my 1st time staying in a backpackers' hotel. I selected and tried Galaxy Pods @ Chinatown, stayed from 22 to 25 Nov.'18 in a single pod. All staffs are very friendly and they replied all my questions well. Room in the pod is clean and the lighting is good. I did not tried the TV.. But, the free wifi is excellent and fast. Continental b/fast (toasts+jams), boiled egg, corn flakes, milk & orange juice were served every morning. Tea & Coffee was served free 24 hrs. However, if we get bored eating the same b/fast everyday, we just walk to the hawker center very close-by. The shared bathrooms were clean including hot water shower. Some minor points were : matress was a bit too thin to sleep and need more sitting tables and sofas if we get bored staying in the pods. Overall, I was quite happy with Galaxy Pods @ Chinatown and probably when I return to Sgp, I will choose to stay in Galaxy Pods @ Chinatown again. Bravo and well done to the management !!

Great location easily take mrt or bus go everywhere no worry when raining, bathroom clean as air-port. Best thing happen is after checked out got a CUTE little girl wanna change $10 to shilling coin, than moment she just make few of us so happy ; p

Really like the space age feel of the pods. Felt like I was in a stasis pod or something. Decent staff with clean facilities. Breakfast of bread cereal and eggs. Would have liked real coffee but what are you gonna do.

the pod is clean and comfy, good breakfast with bread and jam, cereal and milk, orange juice and egg. location 350 meter from MRT Chinatown exit A. definitely will come back. thank you Galaxy Pods @chinatown

I've never actually stayed in a hostel before but the idea of sleeping in a spaceship was to enticing! The place is literally a two minute walk from the Chinatown metro stop and pretty easy to find. The pods were really clean and fun! We had the double pod and it was better than we expected. It looked like there were about 15 pods in total. You share four bathroom/showers with all the guests and the facilies were quite clean. Overall. I had a great time and would recommend this place if you want to spend a little more for a spaceship hostel!

I'd love this pod experience. It was great for visiting Singapore on a budget. Felt like I was in the future! Also theres a perfect little local Chinese place just outside to the right, try it out!

Everything was good but inside the pod is quiet hot when night you sleep. if u don't mind u can open a half of the door will help the air circulation better.

A bit different from the reality vs the actual picture. But overall, it's look good just a bit cramp on the bed and there is a lot of noises cracking on the galaxy pod. The place was clean too and all amenities is provided as well.
