CUBE Boutique Capsule Hotel at Chinatown

We stayed at Cube twice during our trip and found the rooms to be quite clean and tidy and suitable for a family of five. They are quite compact which is pretty much what you’d expect but have plenty of little compartments, charging points and room amenities. Good for a stay of a night or two. Be aware that there are a couple of flights of stairs if you have little kids or lots of suitcases. Only negative was the awkward, painful check in process - should be easy with the app, but it doesn’t work very well and the desk person does nothing to help except hand you your room cards when you finally get through it.

Property needs renovations and an elevator. Room was not cleaned and trash not taken out for two day stay

Website should clarify 1) 2nd floor with no elevator, and 2) the capsule concept and gender restrictions.

Good location & service ; but 1) bathroom floors are constantly wet with a damper dirty towel being the only safeguard 2) locker below the bed is not secured 3) and people will take you slippers.

Overall the property was fine. We had asked staff to change the sheets, and while they did agree to do so, they weren’t done. The rooms are certainly small (as was fairly described), but sometimes uncomfortably so. For example, the shower curtain is constantly sticking to your body while you shower. Our towel hanger also broke. There’s only one set of laundry machines which we had a slight problem with, and it costs $11 SGD for washing ($5), drying ($5) and detergent ($1). For the price and location, my friends and I were satisfied with the experience. There were just a few things that could’ve been better.

Accommodation is too expensive for a capsule hotel. Is not family friendly. And if you have big luggages there is no lift. We have to carry all our bags up to the 3rd floor. It is more of a backpacker not a family hotel. Not good for families. Won't be coming to this hotel again sorry to say.

機械でのチェックインができなくて、スタッフをまつ時間が長かった

The staffs are very friendly and helpful. However, the long stairs going up isn’t very user friendly especially with kids and big luggage’s. Not very clean but acceptable.

Five star on location-the place was very convenient, in the center of Chinatown, walkable to Hawker Center, shopping, and MRT district lines. Two star-no elevator to third floor, room was really tiny, and the place can use a paint job and an upgrade on furniture.

The pods were great, quiet and comfortable and the bathrooms were clean. The self-check in and app as a keycard didn't work very well (disabled 3 hours before checkout) and a normal keycard and check-in process would have been more convenient. Other than that we were pleased it was a great location

Quiet and very central. Accomodations are great for shared hostel space, with comfortable beds and clean bathrooms.

The breakfast was some fruit and then make your own eggs. Bathrooms were a bit messy and not very clean, even for a shared bathroom.

Var rigtig beskidt

작은 벌레들이 너무 많았습니다

The price and location were excellent, and the staff was friendly. However, the shower room, capsule room, and bathroom were a bit old, and small cockroaches or spiders were found in the room, along with an unpleasant smell.

Clean room, breakfast was delicious, rooms were spacious, loved the check-in process, but we did end up at the FAMILY Cube not knowing it wasn't the Cube we booked (which ended up being just down the street), so be careful when navigating. I didn't think the hanging visable signage outside was helpful enough to know the difference. This delayed our check-in by 30 minutes after I was finally able to get someone to answer the phone, because there wasn't anyone at the check-in desk. I had to google the phone number that connected me to someone (took me 15 minutes to find), I recommend posting a phone number at the desk. In addition, there was a bathroom where the sliding door didn't close, and then another bathroom where the shower head had been broken off, but it was the only one available so it felt like taking a shower with a water hose. That bathroom hadn't been cleaned in the PM per the cleaning log posted on the door, from what I could tell it needed a clean and a refresh on the soap and toilet paper. The room itself, loved the layout, we stayed on the top (highly recommend) but bring ear plugs because the door to the room areas is really loud upon being closed (which happens all throughout the night). Bring room spray too because there was a smell of bad breadth everywhere. I wouldn't stay again solely on the bad breadth smell, it kept waking me up sadly.

Difficulty with checkin mostly hotel.com issue as they didn’t give any of the information needed to check in. Bathrooms not that clean due to number of people using them.

Location Clean room Modern clean bathroom Breakfast choice

Pro: Frühstück, Kapseln süß und sauber, Dame an der Rezeption sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit, 24h besetzt Rezeption Contra: Badezimmer nicht wirklich sauber, beim Frühstück gab es um 10:00 Uhr nicht mehr wirklich alles, obwohl es Frühstück bis um 10:30 Uhr geben sollte. Die Dame an dem Frühstück war ahnungslos und nicht sehr freundlich.

Solid capsule hotel. Comfortable, clean bed and two pillows provided. Excellent capsule design with drop-down small table if needed and plug point access. Was in a lower bunk and could not really hear the person above. The capsule's draw-down blind blocks out light effectively, and the room switches to low-lighting at night. Lockable space (with a key card) below the capsule. Clean, ventilated showers with toiletries provided, and did not get noticeably dirty after being used by many people. Basic breakfast on offer (but you are right in the middle of Chinatown and its many delights).

地理位置很好。只是房間空間真的太小了，沒辦法開行李箱。照片和真實差太多😂

I didn’t expect much from a capsule hotel, but it was much better than I thought! The air conditioning was perfectly cool, and each capsule had its own mirror. When you pull down the curtain, it gets completely dark — I couldn’t even tell it was morning when I woke up. Breakfast was great — they had boiled eggs, omelets you can cook yourself, toast with kaya, and what looked like yakisoba (though I didn’t try it). There were also cereals, milk, tea, coffee, and free drinking water refills. Overall, it was a really good stay. They provided towels, soap, shampoo, a hairdryer, toothbrushes, and toothpaste. The location is also convenient, close to several train lines.

Nice small hotel with smart TV. The street can be slightly noisey due to being in the centre of Chinatown. However it was a good stay in front of the hawker centre and had great restaurants in the surrounding area. The walls are thin!

This is a solid option if you have a quick overnight in Singapore and you are use to Cube set-ups. Staff are good, it's comfortable, spaces to work, and very, very convenient. The door isn't what I was used to and leaves a bit of noise coming in. But, overall a solid stay and very much worth the value in an expensive Singapore.

Kompakt rum med bra sängar. Luftkonditioneringen kunde inte kyla ner hela rummet. Överslafen var väldigt varm, speciellt inre sovplatsen där det inte fläktade alls. De dolda eluttagen vid sovplatserna är av multisockel-typ så ingen adapter behövs. Tyvärr går inte uttaget att använda på natten då luckan som döljer dem tar upp en sovplats. Med bättre AC och ett bättre eluttag skulle detta boende få högre betyg.

We paid the low end of the budget for a room in Singapore at $300 AUD a night. I know it’s the low end but for that price they need to maintain and update the rooms accordingly. The rooms were quite worn down and minor damaged seems to just be ignored. The website advertised queen beds but when we arrive they were double. You can tell because when sharing with a small kid get constantly kicked in the back. The Queen beds certainly make a difference and it should be mentioned that they are double mattresses on a queen frame/space. Sound was probably the biggest comfort issue. There is absolutely no sound proofing. The walls are made from some kind of hanging/sliding doors, when you open you door and the neighbour opens theirs it becomes adjoining rooms. Due to this you can hear everything. Like you wouldn’t even want to break wind due to the fear of being heard. Even soft adult voices are audible. We were lucky that our neighbours were also late to bed and late to rise. Kids made noise on both sides of the doors until 11pm and slept until around 9am, once one kid on either side woke up they all woke up, it was like the other kids were inside our room. We kept shushing our own kids and the neighbours shushed their kids. Obviously after a flight or big day out you don’t want the stress of having keep your kids quite in your own space. My husband thought the crying baby next door was ours. It would be a nightmare if you had different sleeping patterns to your neighbours.

Clean, well organized, and comfortable, but the capsule rooms can be noisy if you’ve inconsiderate neighbors.

Really good location with access to central Singapore and key areas. The Queen Capsule was actually bigger than it looks and does the job. Hostel vibes but everyone was quiet and respectful and there is a blind for privacy. Shared shower/toilets were really modern and clean too. Complementary breakfast 0730-1030 was also good - nothing fancy but a good start for the day: fruit, toast, cereal, make your omelette, Noodles, coffee/tea. Would recommend staying here to save your pennies for the expense of Singapore, it isn't fancy but when exploring there is no need for anything more than a clean and comfy bed in a good location.

That was like 6 adults living out of a closet. There was no where to store our suitcases, so 1 bed was used as storage. It was standing room only, like playing human tetris when it came time to move in the 6' x 2' walking area. So cramped

Its too small. The reception lady is always not in front desk.

Good customer service

Had an amazing and very convenient stay. walking distance to MRT station, close to shopping centre, & lots of dining options near the hotel. The lady at check-in and the staff in the bar/dining were friendly and helpful.

Great Customer Service

機械でのチェックインができなくて、スタッフをまつ時間が長かった

Property showed no flexibility after a mistaken duplicate reservation under a non-refundable rate, even though we did stay with them using the second, longer-stay reservation

Staff was very helpful

Very friendly and helpful staff

Although the rooms were small, the hotel was located in a convenient location.

Nice location..

Pleased with it for the price I paid. Clean and well thought out. Wasn't much noise for me. A few people coming and going at nights for flights, but you can't avoid that. Very close to Chinatown subway station which is easy to navigate for everywhere and straight to airport. Bang in the middle of Chinatown. Yes the breakfast selection was a bit limited, but you could have as much as you want, you didnt have your own room, but what do you want for £30 per night in Singapore! True that it wasn't like a sealed capsule, it was a blind you pull down at feet end. Ok I thought

Tout c'est bien passé, l'hôtel est très bien situé dans chinatown. Le personnel est très aimable. Je recommande

First time sleeping in a capsule hotel /hostel kinda of place. Really good value for money. The property is located in Chinatown, next door to an affordable Michelin star restaurant and shopping complex with everything you could want. Really great location for cultural immersion, safe to walk till late, 50m to a bus station and MRT nearby. Breakfast was good too. Would really recommend

The room is clean and the staff is friendly and the breakfast is good

The Cube Box room hotel was very small, and I could not sleep or breathe properly inside. People were coming in and out at different times of the night, so noisy. It is not value for money. I could not sleep in that room and had to leave and check in at another hotel. The breakfast was poor; I had to make my own eggs. I paid a few dollars more and stayed at the Mercure, which was very chic and luxurious, with a pool and great breakfast. So, comparing the Cube Box to the Mercure, it is not worth the money. I don't think anyone should stay there.

The breakfast was some fruit and then make your own eggs. Bathrooms were a bit messy and not very clean, even for a shared bathroom.

Hostel was great, nice staff and especially good breakfast. Facilities were well cleaned/stocked. Only complaint was 1 very loud, disrespectful guy in our room.

샤워실 관리 필요. 조식이 너무 별로.
