Free open parking Its a shop lot customized as hostel Acceptable cleanliness Separated bathroom / toilet (men and women) Easy check in check out process Almost complete pantry amenities (water station, dining table, cutleries, bla3) Even has washing machine for self laundry (extra charges)

Sleep pods not lockable (security issue), despite they claimed has CCTV for monitoring if any No personal locker Overall space quite cramped, small Not for people with claustrophobic Not soundproof No prayer room for muslims Located in Klebang, pretty far from city centre

The location, the separate toilet for each genders.

The curtain for women toilet shld be longer i think

The environment, the boss was friendly, how cold the AC was and comfort of the bed.

Less cold air in the pod, toilet and showers are not separated, so I find it a little bit not used to it.

The staff are welcoming and there's good air con in the main hostel room itself. The hostel wasn't very busy when I was there and other guests were quiet. They offer free tea, coffee, and crackers, and there's cutlery and a microwave as well as a table for eating at. In terms of safety, each pod can be locked from the inside and as a solo female traveller, I felt safe throughout my stay.

At first, the pod itself seemed great. There are lots of lights and it seemed quite modern. My main problem was with sleep, of which I struggled to get each night. The lights in the pod cannot be completely turned off, meaning 2 buttons are glowing blue throughout the night. On speaking to reception, these could not be turned off at all throughout my stay. The main light in the hostel room also stayed on throughout the whole night and this filtered through gaps in the pod. I could not see anywhere to switch this off either. As mentioned by previous guests, there's a bar un the same street that stays open until very early in the morning and you can often hear and even feel the bass of the music. Whilst it's not the hostel's fault for this, some soundproofing in the room itself would be helpful as the bar seems to be open every night. Additionally, despite the positive aspect of privacy given by the individual pods, they can get quite stuffy and the small fan within the pod does not help to allieve this. It's a shame as once you step outside into the main room, it's very nice and cool. Due to these issues with the lights, outside noise, and temperature, I struggled to get any sleep at all. The poor quality of sleep meant I did not enjoy my stay as much as I would have liked.
