    My stay at this place went very well, the staff were attentive and very kind, the girls' dormitory was very clean and comfortable. The hotel is very well located, right next to Chinatown.

    If you literally just want an enclosed space to sleep at night - good. Otherwise bad.

    There's 4 floors with stairs to climb for the some of the rooms. No elevators. The hallways with the pods smelt bad. Cleanliness overall of the showers/rooms was bad. No extra facilities like a water fountain or refrigerator on each floor. The club next door had a band playing through the night. Luggage storage isn't very organized or enough: it's just shelves where everyone put their stuff together. Very hard to use. Look at the flag next to my name. Yes. This was bad by my standards.

    The rooms are from the second floor and above and on the first floor there is a music pub. The music is so loud that, even though they give you ear plugs, it's impossible to sleep. The music is playing from the evening to sunrise.... There are only two showers (female bathrooms) so be patient...

    It's near most touristic attractions. The staff was really nice.

    30 bucks for basically a coffin in a room with 17 others. not unusual for Singapore i guess, but i guess thats also the problem. bathroom was pretty dirty, staff were about as friendly as most other people I met there. it kind of reminded me a bit of a prison, but one you had to pay for.

    Nice location. thats about it.

    My bed wasn't super comfy, with a mattress that clearly had seen many visitors before me.

    Bluewaters Pods 38 was absolutely a great location to stay. The staff made my stay so much more fun, thank you for all your time and all those conversations! The showers were nice and clean. The pod itself gives plenty of privacy. It's in a great location. And I can recommend the whisky café next door!

    There is no elevator so you will have to carry your suitcase from 2 to 4 floors up. The aroma they use inside the dorm room is too strong, sometimes I had a hard time breathing. They turn off the light in the dorm room around 10pm so if you need to get stuffs from your luggage (outside of your pod), be prepared to scramble in the dark. The place is 700m away from the nearest MRT station so it might be very hot to walk to the station during summer time.

    Although the shared female restroom was not on the same floor with my dorm room, it was clean and well ventilated. The shared bathrooms are clean as well, with great water pressure and heat. I also like the shared dining area because there is refillable water, free coffee, tea, milo and snacks everyday.

    Maybe the price was a bit overpriced, but it was a minor thing due to the cost of living in Singapore.

    Good Pod and own private closet. Staff was nice and everything was clean.

    It's okay not that bad but not my first choice as I find other pods better and cheaper.

    Passage to pods are really small, not sound proof, smaller than some pod hotels I have stayed at, other guests might be noisy and you can easily be woken up by the slightest alarm.

    Location was very good, nearby Clarke Quay, accessible and convenient, shower is really good, toilets are clean, there is a hair dryer and big mirror in the shower / toilet area.

    It’s more about the fellow travellers who are clueless about personal hygiene. The sink area always full of hair n beards cos one wouldn’t clean it after use, not the hostel fault though.

    Great location, only few minutes walk to MRT station, and walkable to Chinatown too. Lots of place to eat and shops in the area. I like the fact that it’s close to clubs and pubs but you can’t hear the noise at the hostel! The shoeless concept in the hostel keeps the place really clean. Nice comfy bed too, I like the place so much I extended my stay twice :)
