Here at BEAT. Capsule Hostel, we reside over the iconic Singapore River. We love the tranquility in the day, where you can just gaze at the still waters, and pause in this busy Singapore city. At night, the entire Boat Quay/ Clarke Quay vicinity lights up with entertainment from bazaars, to music, to a wide variety of restaurants. Placed in the heart of the city, you are surrounded by Chinatown, Little India, Malay Kampong Glam, and Marina Bay. Enjoy the privacy of your own Capsule, the warmth of our staff (and guests), and take your time to experience the rest of Singapore... all in a BEAT.

Detailed Reviews
The location was absolutely excellent! It was right in the heart of Boat Quay where you can step outside and immediately be surrounded by shops and restaurants along the waterway. The staff was very helpful and friendly. It was in a safe part of town so we felt comfortable walking around even during the nighttime. It's definitely a great deal if you're staying in Singapore and looking to save some money.

Let me start by saying that from the photos it looked much nicer internally, while in reality it is a little beat up. Despite this I found some advantages and disadvantages.
Pros: definitely the location. Excellent on foot you can get everywhere. Friendly and helpful staff Even though it is one of the most popular neighborhoods, you cannot hear street noise from the hostel. Leave your shoes at the entrance.
Cons: the sinks are a little small for washing Bitter cold in the room. We go from 30 Degrees outside at 15 inside (but like in all buildings). Some furnishings would need to be fixed.
Premetto che dalle foto sembrava molto più carino internamente, mentre in realtà è un poci malconcio. Nonostante ciò ho trovato dei pregi e dei difetti.
Pregi: sicuramente la posizione. Ottima a piedi si arriva ovunque.
Personale gentile e disponibile
Nonostante sia uno dei quartieri più gettonati dall ostello non si sente il rumore della strada.
Lasciare le scarpe all’ingresso.
Difetti: per lavarsi i lavandini un po’ piccoli
Freddo polare in camera. Si passa dai 30
Gradi fuori ai 15 dell’interno ( ma come in tutti gli edifici). Alcuni arredamenti sarebbero da sistemare.

This place has set such a high bench mark that the other hostel with the same concept completely disappointed me. I love how everything is thought of before being build.
Luggage space
It is below your sleeping pod and it is clean with ample space! It is deep so no problem for anyone with big bags. You will get a tag, just tag to unlock it. Very safe
Toilet
Clean! They provide shower gel and I noticed the staff cleans it everyday. Of course it will be wet after a good shower but no problem. Only down side is they do not provide towel. You need to pay 5 dollar for deposit and 2 dollar rental.
There is a community area right outside the toilet, you can dry your hair there, use the fridge and chill with other guests.
Breakfast
Toast(omg they provided nutella,butter,jam),cereal,milk,coffee,tea, juice,biscuit. They sell espresso coffee as well but first cup is on the house! You got to wash up after, nice community setting.
Staff
Zac was lovely! He gave us direction to good food,took a photo with us then email us after! Really nice personal touch. He was professional and gave this place great vibes! The rest were quick and friendly to attend to guests!
Bed
Comfortable, the pillow was soft and fluffy! So much comfort. There is a shutter, just pull it down and you get privacy. You can charge your phone inside as each individual pod has a charging port. It's a little hot as the air-conditioning can't get through the shutters. The shutters needs a little gap to cool down your pod. For some reason the air-conditioning near my pod was off that night, rather warm but no Biggie, fluffy pillow put me to sleep immediately.
Can't wait to visit the Port again in the future! Such a great experience.

The staff at this hostel are very friendly, and offered a lot of advice on where to go in the city.
But unfortunately the rooms was very tight, with not much room to move to get anything from your bag if someone else was stood beside you.
The air conditioning was non existsant, and the small tight capsule you slept in made the place feel like an oven.
The toilets and showers are border line disgusting. The shower is less than a meter away from the toilet, as well as the sink. You could be stood in someone's pee whilst you shower and the toilet paper was wet as it is so close to the shower.
This place is in a great location, and the free breakfast was toast/jams/choco flakes milk, and free coffee.
But the bathroom situation was not pleasant at all and would put me off staying here again.

The hostel is expensive for the poor service. The bathroom is ALWAYS wet, dirty and disgusting. Is small and uncomfortable. If you wanna use it you are wet everywhere and you can’t use shoes there. Is small and dirty. The toilet and the bottom is full of water and hair in each corner. The staff don’t help with anything and they are arrogant and don’t say you nothing about the place. The check in is at 3pm, too late. You have to pay for the towel and also deposit for the key. The breakfast is just a piece of bread and tee or coffee, nothing like in the pictures, also, you have to wash your dishes. There’s no place to be like with a sofa or common area, just the room with 15 more people. The only positive thing is the location of the place, nothing else. I don’t recommend this place, expensive, poor and bad service and dirty and disgusting. I’m the pictures you can see the bathroom always wet, go to the toilet ist a nightmare.

Singapore is expensive so opted for a capsule as I often use hostels. I stayed in an all female room, very quiet and bed was clean and comfortable. The showers and bathroom area did not feel clean at all. In the 3 days, I only had hot water once. My biggest issue was there was no comfortable common areas that encouraged guests to connect. It was an isolating stay and not social.
There is no lift and it has many stairs, so pack light or be prepared to pack your bag up.
Boat Quay is close to the MRT and you can walk to Merlion Park easily. Location is in a touristy strip of bars and restaurants which should have made it easy to go out with ppl. Overall, affordable but not social.

I just stayed here for 4 nights. The location was excellent, surrounded by lots of restaurants and pubs directly on Boat Quay. Lots of night life.
My flight was delayed and I arrived after midnight. The hostel has an awesome late night check in and had reserved my hostel bed already. Just officially checked in in the morning.
Breakfast was simple but yummy. Toast, jam, coffee or tea, eggs.
My only con for this place is that my bed was right by the bathroom and it was always loud and with a light on. Other con was the no shoes in the hostel rooms which I’m used to while traveling in Asian countries but the bathrooms are always soaked since all of the stalls are the toilet and shower combos so the floors are always wet. Kinda grossed me out so I put my flip-flops just to enter the bathroom.
Otherwise very clean and comfortable! Love the capsule dorm beds.

It was a great hostel. The bedroom was very comfy and also the blanket. The staff was really nice and the view was awesome. Really a nice view, especially in the night. You could work with the great view. However, the bathroom was not really recommended. Too small and not clean.

Was in singapore for a 4D3N trip with 2 other friends. Location is great, very close (~300m walk) to Raffles Place MRT station. It is on the stretch of Boat Quay where all the pubs and restaurants are. We stayed throughout the weekend, but honestly from my bed, I couldn't hear any party noises, so it was good. The receptionist was friendly and made the check-in easy and smooth. He also did not mind me using the showers and allowed me to leave my bags near the counter till my check-in time (as I arrived early in the morning). I felt pretty safe despite having to stay in a mixed gender place. The bunk beds had blinds covering the end so there is still some privacy while you sleep. Toilets were decent and clean with hot water showers. They even provide hairdryers and shower cream in the bathroom. There is also an ironing board and iron if you needed to use them. Breakfast was provided (toasts, cereals, coffee and tea). Key-cards were used to enter the hostel and also to the rooms. They have numbered lockers beneath the bunk beds, which each could literally fit a whole human in there, so no issues with storage. Overall, pleasant and great stay.

I stayed at the Port for two nights and I made friends the second I walked in. Very friendly and open atmosphere, good people, especially the staff. Calvin was awesome :-)
I stayed in the mixed dorm and it felt very safe, beds were comfortable and the bathrooms clean. (The showers are pretty much on top of the toilets, but this is common in Singapore (and Malaysia, I find) and I didnt find it dirty or problematic at all. The dorm beds have lockers under the bed with a lot of space, so big you can easily fit three big backpacks in there.
Each bed has a blind you pull down for some extra privacy. The all-female dorm is accessed from the mixed dorm, it has an extra door between so you have to have the right keycard to get in.
Even after all those good things to say, the location was the best part. It was perfect. On the riverside, plenty of good restaurants and some pubs right outside the door, but dorm was on other side with a window to the alley, which minimized sound at night. 15 minute walk to Marina Bay Sands, 5 min walk to Merlion, 10-12 minutes to Chinatown - I walked everywhere with no problem. If you are out late, after reception closes, it's no problem. Your keycard grants you access to the building, your dorm and the upstairs lounge (a small area with some chairs and table and basic kitchen facilities)
If I go back to Singapore I will stay here again.
