Bluewaters Pods 38 Hongkong St

Solo traveler, spent 4 nights there. Hostel is kinda meh in itself, and has two big flaws. Location is definitely really good, basically in the very center of Singapore, metro and bus stops are nearby. But it's kinda the only good thing. Ah yes, apart from quite detailed city guides on the wall near the reception. - The mattresses are really stiff and thin, I mean it - really stiff! Just uncomfortable to sleep on them, had quite a bad nights there. - There is no proper kitchen, you can microwave something and that's it, can't cook, see the pictures. Also common area is very poorly done, looks like a cheap canteen or something. You can't comfortably socialize there... - Important - here is a night club/bar right near/under the hostel. Entrance to it is literally 2 meters from hostel's entrance. And music is really heard even until 2 am! All the basses, drums - you just hear it, not that loud that you can't sleep, but I was on 4th floor, but if you are on 2nd or 3rd?... Probably would need earplugs lol. - And the BIG DEAL - LOCKERS ARE BASICALLY NOT WORKING AND UNSAFE. See the pictures and you'l understand. They are there, BUT - they made so sloppily that even after you lock the door with a key - you just press *a little bit* on the door from the top - and it opens even while locked, just because the lock's metal thing is just too short and door is too weakly set. So basically I'm sure that everyone can open every locker if they want. Receptionist said sorry for that, but that's it. Not good at all, first hostel I've been with such poor locker execution.

The hostel is conveniently located near an MRT train station, within walking distance. However, please be aware that the first floor hosts a lively club that can be quite loud at night, especially after 2am when patrons become noisier. Additionally, the mattresses are uncomfortable and may cause backaches, and the rooms can get hot at night due to closed curtains.

Cleaned nicely hotel and receptionist. Comfortable with the hotel. And near city.

My 1st time solo traveling & stay in hostel. It’s over my expectation. Even stay in hostel but you have privacy. Every guests are polite. Love this place so much. Will come back again if there’s an opportunity.

First time traveling alone and living in hostel. Indeed a very good place for solo travelers. Good location, 10 mins walk from raffles place MRT station (same green line to and from airport) and less than 10 mins to Clarke Quay & China Town MRT station. Clean bedsheets, clean toilets, dark enough blinds and I had a good sleep for 3 nights in the female only dorm room. Highly recommend the deluxe single pod, easier to get on bed and for placing personal stuff.

The location is good,near Clark Quay Mrt station.Nearby have have shopping mall.

This is my first time staying in a mixed dorm. Felt safe even the room have roommates of different genders from varies countries. Just a gentle reminder, do remember to bring earplugs if you are sensitive with sounds during sleeping, as the pod is not fully soundproof. The male and female toilets/shower areas are separated. Free drinking waters and drinks like coffee are provided in the common area in Level 2. There is also a refrigerator for free usage. The location of hostel is quite strategic, there have bus stop and MRT station nearby. Plus, some famous tourist areas like Chinatown and Clarke Quay are easily reachable even just by walking. In overall, it was a great stay at Bluewaters Pods.

Great location, close to mrt and Chinatown. Easy to move around. Common area is very basic and quite hard to interact with others. There is a free coffee/tea machine and drinking water also. Rooms are good and beds are comfortable. Just a bit humid inside. Water pressure is just amazing and also wifi is super fast! Close to park also

Thank you! Had a great stay here. They also have helpful staffs.
