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.

Excellent Location!

My second visit to this place in less than a year.
The capsules are very clean, the reception staff are nice. If you need to check-in late (after 22hs I believe) they send you instructions on how to do your self check-in...very helpful!
The view from the dining/reception window is very nice during the night with the marina bay and the Singapore Flier.

Great location!!

The location of this hostel/capsules was fantastic! It was in walking distance of many sight seeing places/public transportation/eateries. 

Hostel itself was clean and the staffs were cheerful and helpful. I liked the idea of opening shoes outside. Beds/linens were nice and clean. It was basic as expected of many hostels but had everything needed. One could even hang towels to air dry! Loved it. Bathrooms were bit different but fine by me. 

Breakfast was pretty basic but again, you get what you pay for! 

I was there for 4/5 days in Nov of 2018. This place is in walking distance of Marina Bay sands/Supertree Grove/The canopy. You can ride a scooter or take a short ride in train to go to China town or little India.

Wonderful place to be in while your stay in Singapore! I highly recommend this place!

Centrally located for few days in Singapore

Stayed here for 6 nights on my first ever solo trip. The hostel is basic but it works given that you mostly won't be spending much time indoors anyway. 
The staff are quite helpful and accommodating. They were sweet enough to let me keep my luggage there  for a few hours after I checked out on my last day. 
The breakfast is excellent and just enough to fuel you up for a good 4-5 hours. 
Beds are extremely clean. Bathrooms could be a bit more cleaner. 

Overall a very decent budget stay. Definitely recommended for solo travellers!

Fabulous location!

An excellent experience at BEAT. Capsules - its location along Boat Quay is unbeatable, with so many attractions and things to do within walking distance. The view from the property is incredible, and the staff are really friendly! I'm glad that I chose BEAT. Capsules, and I hope to be back! One issue: there may be noise from the pubs and bars downstairs, but that can be solved by requesting a pair of earplugs from the reception (at a small cost).

Great location and view

This is my very first time at Capsules hostel and I really love it! Next time, I’m going to sleep here again. I love the view from the window here and I love to have breakfast and look straight to the river, it’s real nice. In night time there maybe some noise from the pub downstair but it’s fine.

I love it here!

The most amazing thing about this hostel, like other reviews said, is the location. You can just admire the beauty of Singapore river from the lobby at level 2, and it gets more beautiful once it's dark.

The hostel is easy to reach if you arrive from the airport with the MRT, exit through gate G and then just follow along the footpath with the river on your right, the hostel will be on your left near an Indian restaurant. The reception is nice, she will answer all your questions politely. If you're checking in/ out before 8 AM or after 10 PM, you will be given instructions on how to self check-in/ out through e-mail. I prepared for noises throughout the night from outside, but it turned out to be relatively quiet. The partition wasn't see through as long as you turn off the light.

Some of the inconveniences are the bathrooms, the wi-fi, and the shoe boxes. Bathrooms: there are only 4 bathrooms on level 2 which I think quiet sufficient, with hot water. But I didn't expect them to be that small and quaint. Towels are not provided and must be rented. The wi-fi: it didn't reach the room, so you have to go to the reception room/ lobby which is somewhat disappointing. Shoe box: too small, it didn't fit more than one pair of shoes.

Food options are plenty, with many 7Eleven shops around, but if you want to find something cheaper just hop on the MRT and find a hawker center somewhere else. There is a dispenser on the reception room for cold and hot water. Tea and coffee are provided in a jar all day.

Overall, you should give it a go as strolling along the river at night is a wonderful experience, and if you know that your bed is nearby.

Upside: hospitality. Downside: wi-fi access

This hostel is nice enough, however I would say the pictures are a little deceiving and it’s not quite as nice as it looks. The bathrooms weren’t the best, not enough showers/toilets for the amount of people in the room. I also wasn’t a huge fan of the fact that you are actually showering right next to the toilet and it’s a tiny cubicle. Another downside was the WiFi doesn’t reach the rooms well and as soon as you’re in the capsule didn’t work at all. Apart from that had a decent stay and didn’t spend too much time in the hostel itself.

Good enough

Stayed here for 3 nights with my husband since we wanted to experience capsule style hostel while in SG. 

The highlight:
The hostel is perfectly located in Boat Quay with super easy access, just around half kilometer from Raffles Place MRT or Clarke Quay MRT. 
Free all-day (self-service) breakfast (toast, cereal, etc) at common room at the 1st floor, with amazing view to Singapore River. 
Our queen-sized bed was comfortable and felt spacious. The size of baggage storage underneath the bed, is also generous. 
The dorm room was surprisingly quiet, we could not hear a thing from the street. 
Friendly and helpful staff.
WiFi is available. Hairdryer is available.

The lowlight:
The toilets are small.
The self-serve laundry was quite expensive, with limited clothes drying space. We confused about where to hang our laundry and towel.
The breakfast was ready at 8am. Not early enough for us.
The reception was not 24 hours. Late night check-in or early morning check-out will be a bit complicated.

But overall, it was a pleasant stay for us. Love the BEAT.

Unbeatable Location

The actual room/ pod itself was nice, clean enough and had the basic amenities  in the kitchen. However the checking in process was really difficult and going through random building blocks with extremely unhelpful receptionists who said “no this hostel isn’t in here” - when in fact; it was. 
I’d say it’s fine if you were with a group, however, solo travelling, this was quite scary
