Front door not locked, not secured, even at night.

Full reviewBed itself was clean and rather comfortable in my personal opinion. Towels provided. Kettle, coffee sachets, microwave are there as well. Check-in late at night possible. Front door not locked, not secured, even at night. Same problem with the door to the female room. During the day, random men (pretty sure they weren't hotel guests) came in to sleep in non-occupied beds in the female dorm, which is "conveniently" located on ground floor very visible from the entrance. Situations like these should not be possible to happen. I felt pretty unsafe. Hotel owner(s) probably aware of this, as fake lockpads are installed - including setting off the typical sound of pressing four numbers and the door unlocking every few minutes, to create an illusion of the room door actually being locked.

Vibe Analysis
The Room Capsule Hotel is a low-cost stop near Kallang MRT, with fast access to bus links, the stadium, and the airport side of the city. It works best as a simple place to sleep, not as a polished hotel. The sleeping pods give each bed a curtain, plugs, and a bit of personal space. Some rooms feel quiet and private, and the setup can work well for a short crash after a late arrival or an early flight. A few rooms also have clean sheets, towels, and basic conveniences like a kettle or coffee. The tradeoff is a rougher edge: some rooms are dark, some mattresses are very hard, and upper bunks can be awkward to climb. Bathrooms, showers, and shared areas can be cramped and inconsistent, and the place can feel self-service when the desk is empty. It is a practical stay if location matters most, but it is not a soft landing.
