I enjoyed my stay at Riccarton Capsule. A KL friend warned me that dormitory-style hotels might not be safe, but honestly I was more worried about my belongings than about myself. The online listing showed lockers, but when I arrived there were none, so I had to carry all my things up to my upper-deck capsule. This might not be ideal for elderly guests, people with physical limitations, or anyone travelling with large luggage.
Other than that, I really liked how peaceful the place was—no noise, no unpleasant smells and it's safe for solo female travellers. The aircon was super cold, and the capsule itself was very convenient, with useful buttons like door lock/unlock, night reading light, and adjustable aircon intensity. The toilets were also quite clean. The pillow is a little flat so it's good if you've a cushion which can stack it for comfort.
There is a rooftop where you can chill and look at views.
Overall, I’m satisfied and would recommend it for younger travellers or those who don’t mind climbing in and out of a top bunk. If you dislike climbing, this might not be for you.
