Hotels in SingaporeA budget capsule hostel in Singapore’s lively Kampong Glam
7.5/10
A fun, well-located capsule hostel, but shared bathrooms and noise limit the appeal.
Met A Space Pod is a budget capsule hostel, not a conventional 3-star hotel. It’s a good pick for a short Singapore stop if you want more privacy than an open dorm: the single and double pods have proper doors, and guests repeatedly praise comfortable beds and the location beside Haji Lane’s cafés and restaurants. Bugis MRT is within walking distance, making this a practical base for exploring.
The trade-off is hostel-level comfort behind the futuristic styling. Tripadvisor guests flag sound carrying between pods, while recent Trip.com and Expedia-group reviews show uneven bathroom cleanliness and some tired or malfunctioning fittings. There’s no lift, and reception has limited hours, so arrange late arrival beforehand. An Expedia guest reported nearby construction in July 2026; whether it continues is unconfirmed. We’d skip it for light sleepers, heavy luggage or anyone expecting a private bathroom.

Met A Space Pod is a budget capsule hostel, not a conventional 3-star hotel. It’s a good pick for a short Singapore stop if you want more privacy than an open dorm: the single and double pods have proper doors, and guests repeatedly praise comfortable beds and the location beside Haji Lane’s cafés and restaurants.

We’d skip it for light sleepers, heavy luggage or anyone expecting a private bathroom.
Best for: solo travelers on a budget; short stays near Haji Lane; couples comfortable with hostel facilities
Watch out for: pods are not soundproof; uneven shared-bathroom cleanliness; stairs only and limited reception hours
Location: Beside Haji Lane’s cafés and nightlife, with Bugis MRT a short walk away.
Rooms: Single and double door-equipped pods; beds earn praise, but some guests report worn or faulty fittings.
Cleanliness: Many guests find pods clean; shared bathrooms attract repeated complaints about wet floors and upkeep.
Service: Staff often earn praise, but reception is listed as open only from 11:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.
Amenities: Shared bathrooms, Wi-Fi, air-conditioning, lockers and lounge space; TVs depend on pod type.
Fees and surprises: Travelocity lists a stay deposit; check-in starts at 3 p.m., and July 2026 construction was reported nearby.
