Jyu Capsule Hotel

The location is fantastic, right in Chinatown with lots of great food options just outside. Each cubicle has its own ventilation system. Laundry and drying cost a total of 14 SGD, and laundry detergent pods are provided.

Jyu Capsule Hotel is a very clean hostel with an excellent location right in the heart of Chinatown. It's very convenient for getting around, close to the MRT, and surrounded by plenty of restaurants and convenience stores. It’s perfect for those looking to explore Singapore on a budget. Check-in was easy using the self-service kiosk. Once you go up to the accommodation floor, there are lockers for shoes and luggage, and you need a key card to access the sleeping area, which made me feel secure. I chose a lower-bunk capsule and found it very convenient for getting in and out and using the facilities. The accommodation has complete facilities, including a 24-hour free drinking water dispenser, a dining area, and hair dryers (available until 10 PM). There are four bathrooms on the second floor. Although I was initially worried there wouldn't be enough, I never had to wait in line during my entire stay. A highlight for me was the incredibly soft bed with two pillows and the refreshing air conditioning; I slept more comfortably than expected. The staff were also very helpful. While they might not always be smiling, they were fully supportive when I asked questions or requested assistance. One minor point to note is the noise. Since my capsule was near the door, I could hear the sound of the door opening and closing and other guests walking quite clearly. Some people walked loudly or talked softly, and I could still hear them, which is typical for a capsule accommodation. Additionally, cleaning takes place during the day, so it might not be suitable for those who want to sleep in late in the room. Overall, if you're looking for clean accommodation in a good location at a reasonable price, and just need a place to sleep after a full day of sightseeing, Jyu is an extremely worthwhile option, especially for solo travelers. However, those who are sensitive to noise or prefer a very quiet environment might need to consider it further. If I have the chance to visit Singapore again, I would gladly choose to stay here again.

I've stayed here for two consecutive nights. The location is super convenient, especially since I came here specifically for durian. There are also many souvenir shops nearby. Highly recommend shopping here!

🇰🇷 Review from a Korean traveler -_-b I was traveling solo, so I opted for an affordable capsule hotel. The place was really clean and comfortable, and they cleaned it once a day without fail. There wasn't a separate counter; the staff worked on their laptops in the shared common room (the one with the kitchen) on the 2nd floor! (There were also capsule rooms on the 2nd floor, but I stayed on the 3rd floor, which only had capsule rooms). Both the room and bathroom were shared, and as other reviews mentioned, the toilet and shower were in the same space, but it wasn't really that inconvenient!! And the capsule itself was spacious and great, too! Seriously, it was so good, I didn't feel any discomfort at all! (When I stayed at a Korean capsule hotel for a night, I was shocked by how smelly and stuffy it was, but this place had no odor and was very pleasant). The air conditioning was always on, so coming back from outside felt like heaven... It might feel a bit cold, but inside the capsule, you can adjust the A/C, so I slept comfortably cool. 👍🏻 Also, I was worried it might be noisy since it's a shared space, but everyone was quiet, so it wasn't noisy at all (some people even went out to the common area to pack their luggage just to avoid making noise). However, on my last night, some guests were loudly chatting in the common area for about an hour, which was a bit annoying, but I just slept through it... ^^ The staff were friendly, which was nice! They said towels were available whenever I wanted them! And definitely take advantage of the Sentosa Island package offered by the hotel! It lets you use one of the Sentosa Island services for free. I used it for Wings of Time, which normally costs around 12,000 won, for free! The location in Chinatown is also great for buying souvenirs, and it's close to the subway station!! I recommend it~

I continued staying at this hostel for a second night. In the morning, I saw two people who looked like staff in the living room, and it turned out they were indeed the front desk. One guy spoke Chinese, and the other, a dark-skinned woman, didn't. Their 'workstation' was literally the dining table in the living room – absolutely wild! It's worth noting that the toilet and shower are combined, with no separation between wet and dry areas. Also, for some reason, on the second night, someone was constantly packing their luggage until 2:30 AM, which meant I didn't get a good night's sleep. If you're sensitive to noise or need a quiet environment, you might want to think twice before choosing this place.
