First of all: check-in closes at 10:30pm, not 11:30pm as the Hotels.com page suggests. 

I contacted the hostel before arriving and was promised a fridge in the room, though when we arrived there weren’t one. 

The WiFi was patchy at best the first day and after that it was completely nonexistent, except for an hour or so a day. Tv also didn’t work so relaxing in the room after a long day in the sun was not very fun. WiFi, a bed, and a bathroom are the only things I really need when staying at a hotel/hostel so when one of them is missing I get a bit pissy! One of the two staff members I talked to was nice and tried his best at resolving the issue.

No divider for the shower, and the drain was slow, so everything from floor to waste bin to toilet paper got soaked. 

The place is technically smoke free but on each floor there’s a balcony without a door where you can smoke. I wasn’t bothered by it in the room though as they are located in another hallway.

The hotels.com page says there’s daily cleaning; the hostel states that they clean every Friday and Tuesday; we didn’t get a cleaning on Friday, Tuesday, or any other day. Trash is thrown in a bin on each floor’s balcony. By day 5 the bin was overflowing and bags of trash were put on the floor around it. By day 7, when we were leaving, the trash still hadn’t been emptied. There’s also no washer/dryer in the room, as hotels.com states, but they do offer a laundry service, and there’s a 24 hours self-service just across the street.

I do like the area with Bugis MRT just a few steps away. There’s also a lot of malls and restaurants close by.


Not as promised

The hotel is near to mrt station and mall but it'll take you ages to find the hotel sign.  The room and bathroom are filthy where dust and rubbish can be found on the floor. The bathroom don't even have soap and shampoo. Totally not worth the stay.

Cheap but terrible 

Honestly it's lucky it's getting 1/5. Photos of the rooms don't reflect the actual rooms in the hotel so make sure you read other reviews first (the mistake my s*** kicker made). 

The room we were initially offered was smaller than Harry Potter's cupboard under the stairs. No bed frames, just mattresses on the floor covered in what looked like Sasquatch hair and somewhat dusty. There wasn't a window in sight, and the mattresses were so close that you'd probably get done for grooming your neighboring prisoners. 

The bathroom was understandably a wet-room however the hairs in the drain and smell didn't indicate any form of cleaning prior to when we were welcomed to the devil's domain. 

Dodgy. 



Wouldn't let my dead hamster stay here 

i might take too long to write this review as my trip to plush pod was early this year on late march for coldplay's concert. The location of this hostel is really great, very near to the mrt station and malls. However, during the first day i went to checkin at 3pm, the front desk guy ask me to pay 60sgd for deposit. I gave 2 notes of 50sgd and after he gave my room key i asked for the balance, and he insisted that i only pay him 60sgd! i told him that I'm very sure i gave 100sgd and i ask to him check cctv. He then told me to come back in 30mins as he need to check from the computers and all, but i couldn't wait because i need to go other places as well. and finally around 11pm i got a notification by email that he mistakenly count the money wrongly and asked me to get my balance the next day. this is such a careless mistake. I would not be so angry if he say it nicely but instead he said it in a bad attitude. Im very glad that he gave my balance back at the end but i hope he wont make the same mistake in the future!

I stayed at deluxe room and space is very very small but good for short vacation. Cleanliness of the bed need to improve.

great location

The dorms and rooms are badly maintained. Bunk beds and floors of the dorms are covered with dust and hairs all over. Toilets are badly maintained cleanliness is an issue. Proper housekeeping and maintenance of this place is seriously needed.

Only plus side of this place is the location. Right opposite the Bugis MRT. But the entrance is quite easily missed and it's at the side of a back lane. 

Room for Improvement 

The check-in is at 3:00 p.m. The mattresses are bad, and the cleaning is non-existent. He spent three nights there, and it is true that in some cities it is difficult to prevent any insect from entering, but if the animal is already dead, on the bathroom floor, and stays there for three days....... Very bad cleaning in general. Change the sheets and it is already there. Neither the sinks, nor the floor... nor the trash can have changed in three nights (and it was not empty... there). During the days that he practically had no other spices (something that can be a positive thing) but now I am not recommending the toilet.

No, I do not recommend it.

This is what makes this hostel strong because for the rest it is very fair, the room for 4 is very narrow, we can barely fit 4 inside! The bathroom is really basic and the Italian pseudo shower (actually there is no bathtub) guarantees flooding every time you use it. Very old window that lets all the noise of the street pass, breakfast almost nonexistent, in short it's good for a night to repair.

Okay for the location.

We had a family of four for one night - a small room, two beds, a table - tight. The door between the rooms is broken down (close/open badly), the shower does not just flow warm water... generally - just for overnight stays.

For the night.

Great location, one minute to the subway, ten minutes to the bay. Good staff. Thanks to this place you can tour Singapore for a small fee. From and to the airport without subway transfers.

A good place for a few nights.

The main advantage is that it's located near Bigis Junction. 15-20 minutes walk to the CBD. It's a nice place to stay, but the comfort is minimal. It's relatively clean. There was no hot water in my room. Breakfast is just for a snack, basically a loaf of bread or something.
