Guest reviews for CSW Hostel
"Easy to get to, many cheap food options, helpful staff and very clean. Fairly quiet and good price for Singapore. Great for exploring Chinatown and the Buddhist and Hindu temples."
"Only one shower and one toilet so you may need to wait. No common area except for minimal kitchen."
"Really good price, really good location, and the place was clean"
"The beds were a bit creaky compared to other hostels I've been in, but for the price, this didn't matter to me"
"Location, price point, right in the middle of China town with train stations walking distance, eatery nearby. 6 beds per room, wash room and toilet outside of the room. Lights and plug is nearby bed. Water dispenser too. Even a kitchen corner with fridge! Everything needed is equipped."
"Bed is with curtain, but only one sided so slight compromise."
"The location was ideal; right in the heart of Chinatown and a stone’s toss from three dynamic Street Food Markets, all of which sang to my soul. I loved that the facilities - separate shower and toilet - were cleaned daily, along with my bunk room and the common areas. I shared space with the coolest guys, so I have no complaints about that. For my first hostel experience, I was very comfortable."
"You do have to purchase your own towel. I might have missed that information when reading about the hostel. Minor adjustment."
"Near to everything.the place were so clean and the woman is so nice"
"It’s only one toilet and bath you have to wait for everyone to finish .and also they don’t have free towel you have to paid s$3 to get one"
"Everything. Perfect location, clean, and comfortable. And most of all easy on the wallet."
"None"
"Staff was friendly and lots of nice food nearby. Location was excellent. Definitely coming back again 🙂"
"Aucun."
"Staffs are helpful. Location is amazing in heart of chinatown and in front of subway Room itself is ok but one toilet and shower. for 12 people is not enough"
"Aucun."
"Pretty dead center location. walking distance to about everything and next to the train line also if need be. Amenities were minimal but enough. Fridge, hot/cold water to shower/drink, small eat area. Super clean at all times and Jen (staff member) was the best! Maintained the rooms and areas tiptop. She was very kind and also extremely helpful with enquires, all you needed to do was ask. :)"
"Cozy shared areas, and I mean there was only one toilet and one shower, so mornings and evening were a bit of a wait. Also found it hard to find a place to shave as there was no mirror. Again ask and assistance was available."
"It was a bit hard to find the first day, but apparently an amazing location, good value for money, good WiFi, good bed, nice stuff. Very good value compared to other options (been walk-in to others and the price doesn’t seem to worth it)"
"No social life (which was kinda ok for me), no hot shower (no need honestly)"

Guest reviews
"Great stay at Spacepod SG — clean and modern pods that offer privacy and comfort. The facilities are well maintained, and the location is very convenient for exploring Singapore. A great and affordable option for travelers looking for a unique stay experience."
Wojciech Spacepod@SG
"I checked in late at night by myself. They gave me all the instructions. There are lockers in the room. There's lot of clean bathrooms. They allowed me to leave my bags at reception after checking out to wait till my flight. The bed had clean sheets and towel. There were good slippers to use while staying. You can wash your shirts and put them in a laundry room for drying for free in the evening (they have a laundry room!). One of the best hostels I've stayed in."

"This was my third time staying at CapsulePod@Aljunied, and I enjoyed it. Welcoming and helpful staff, comfortable beds, spacious capsule with a curtain for complete privacy. Room, toilets and showers were always clean. Great location close to shops, hawker centers, restaurants and just a couple minutes walking from Aljunied MRT station. I stayed there before, and would definitely stay again!"
"Great location, easy check-in/check-out, option to leave luggage after early arrival. Capsules are clean and feel very private. Not fully soundproof, but had no issues with outside noises/music."
Dmitrijs Galaxy Pods @ Chinatown
"Capsule experience was good, value for money. Location was good"
"One of the cleanest and nicest hostels I’ve ever stayed in. The rooms feel very private and secluded with the curtain. We were in a double bed at the end of the rooms and it seemed bigger and large enough to put our bags. Beds were super comfy and had AC and a safe to lock up our valuables. Also the showers were amazing."
Megan RadZone Hostel
