The worst accomodation of my life
Absolitely horrific. Condition of property is nothing like the photos. The most cramped and mouldy bathroom ever. I booked 4 nights and didnt even stay the full first as it was so horrible, and they still wouldnt refund me. Absolute rip off do not spend your money here even if its the last available hotel in existence. The app wont let me upload the photos I took - hopefully ill find a way to do so later so u can see the hell hole this accomodation truly is and that the photos they have here are an absolute lie.

Frankly, the photo and the actual condition of the place are poles apart. The bed and pillows are poor with a strange stench. It was a crowded place with people loiterring around late into the night. Some guests were chatting on the phone late into the night. The reception, pantry, capsule corridor etc were all cluttered. Looked like there were many guests staying on a long haul basis with oversized bags. The good thing is the manager KK came across as a friendly guy and helpful. The location is good. Regular cleaning, removing the clutter, implementing strict codes of etiquette and hygiene will help to improve the place.

Dear Mr Kumar, thank you for your feedback. Our Capsule Hotel is currently under-going renovation in order to welcome back the Tourists. We are full house almost every night because we provide value-for-money accommodation in Singapore; hence there are many luggages and bags belonging to the Guests at the Capsule Hotel. We thank you for your feedback as we look forward to the completion of our Hotel renovation.

The place is good, in little India area, friendly and helpful staff. I will just suggest add the the breakfast another ingredients, nutella and Jam is too good but too sweet as well. And maybe black coffe, black tea or green tea. My stay was good and relax

Good stay at Vintage Inn.
We really enjoyed our stay at Vintage Inn. Great location. Private pods. Bathroom pretty decent could do with a little update but not bad at all. We slept really well. Timmy made our stay very pleasant and was a fantastic host the 3 days we were there. Would definintely stay again. Thank you Vintage Inn and thank you very much Timmy.

Not the best
We were disappointed with this accomodation. The staff were great allowing us a late night check in and with booking a taxi, but otherwise it was not great. Capsules weren't very clean as we both found hair on the sheets, the bathrooms were old, small and dirty and the dorm room itself was cluttered and it appeared that some people may have been living there long term based on the large amounts of belongings being stored. The pods also are not very sound proof compared to others I have slept in.

Dirty and in a messy state
The accomodation is nothing like what the pictures suggest. The stairs that lead to the hostel is a good sign of is to be expected: full of spider webs, a dead cockroach and lots of dust. The room where the dormitory is was in a messy state and the floor was dirty there were all sort of stuff lying around. The bathroom was dirty and full of people random stuff like soap emptied shampoo bottles.. We simply could not stay there and booked another hotel just after checking in this one.

Good value for budget travellers.
It's hard to beat budget prices. Here, you get what you pay for and maybe a little more. The dorm rooms are well organized and surprisingly private (and very well air conditioned). The downside is a rather cramped and awkward toilet and shower area, and a disappointing breakfast. But "you pays for what you get."

Great hostel!
The place was easy to find and really neat! Even though we arrived 5 hours before our check-in time, they let us check-in early! After a long night of traveling it was nice to get a shower and a nap before exploring the city :). Thanks so much to the great staff! The only thing that was difficult was that the shower and toilet area were small, but we weren't in very much so it wasn't a big deal.

Dear Guest We are sorry that you had such a bad experience while staying with us. It is feedback like this that constantly drives us to improve our service and property standards. We do however provide towels and have two rooms with 28 private capsules, our property comprises of 3 floors. Again, we are sorry that you had such a negative experience and hope that we may be given another chance to serve you once again.

Good Location but uncomfortable mattress
The location and the staffs are great. The toilets/showers are quite small and the hangers are too high ... not very convenient for kids. Breakfast are provided and it is more than enough to make you full. The bad part is that the mattress has no cushion at all. I couldn't sleep well as I could feel the spring against my bone. But overall, I satisfied.

Tiny Hostel
I am all for tiny homes. But tiny hostels. That is a whole other thing all together. The hostel has a mold issue. It first greets you as you walk up the stairs to the second floor office. The bathroom is located right next to the kitchen and the bathroom is tiny. Four little sinks just centimeters away from each other. And the toilet and stalls feel like you are in a small closet. The whole room is the size of an office storage closet. The capsules are clean and the service is great. The breakfast is hot dogs, toast and beans. Endless instant coffee and tea. The location is conveniently located near the Little India MRT station. Glad I didn't reserve longer. Found a better priced space and size about 450 meters away. In short just too darn small for the price.

Great hostel
The staff there are very friendly and helpful. I have stayed at this hostel for 3 weeks and have thoroughly enjoyed staying here. There are many places to shop, eat and the MRT is very close by which is really convenient. In addition, the guy who owns this place is really nice because he even took the time to give me a short tour of Singapore. Very much appreciated :)

Well, staff were nice. But its basically a fancy hostel dorm room situation, so comfort is as expected. Its annoying yo ahve to go through kitchen/reception to get to the bathroom/shower. But for the price in expensive singapore its just about a good deal.

Clean Hotel
Stayed here for 4 days. Nice standard breakfast, quiet environment, very close to Little India MRT. Eateries around the place. The AC can be very cold at times. The toilets are very small but clean and the warm water works. The bed is quite comfy. Good deal, will come back when I visit Singapore again.

A hidden diamond.
I stayed at the vintage inn for 11 nights. Great location, literally a 2 minute walk from the little India MRT. Right outside there's a ton of places to eat along the way if you're into authentic Indian food. The staff was amazing, very helpful when it came to places to go, foods to try, and they did there best to accommodate me in everyway. This is a capsule hotel with curtains. Great choice if you have no problems with rooming with other individuals. Capsule was very comfortable. My only gripe was when I arrived, it looked like the sheets weren't replaced for my arrival, as there were many strands of hair on the bed. The AC unit is very cold at night so you had better bundle up. The bathrooms are quite small. So small that your knees will touch the door, and your but will touch the wall, but after a few days, you learn how to adjust. 2 of the bathrooms actually have a shower head directly over the toilet, so watch out, if you hit the lever you'll be drenched. Upstairs is the eating area where breakfast is served everyday from 8am to 10:30am, by Emma. Breakfast is light and good, scrambled eggs, 2 pieces of toast, a chicken dog, and either coffee or milk tea. This place is great for backpackers, or anyone who really doesn't plan on being in doors for long periods of time, as was the case for me. I'd give this hostel a solid 3. Though I'll tell you, the staff was so amazing, I'd rather comeback to the vintage inn over any "5" star hotel or hostel in Singapore.

Clean hostel with great service
I've stayed in three hostels in Singapore, and this is the cleanest. It also had an older patronage, so it was quieter than others, which I appreciated. The bathrooms are tiny. I happened to be there over a Sunday night, and on Sunday afternoon the area was awash in Indian men (almost like there was a concert or major sports event - which there wasn't) so it wasn't the most comfortable for a single Western woman but I avoided crowded areas. The upside of staying in Little India is the great food! :)

Good Option if You're on a Budget
The Vintage Inn was very modern and clean. Shared bathrooms are, as hostels go, some of the nicest and cleanest toilets we've seen. There is a laundry service on site. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Breakfast needs improvement. As it is a hostel, it definitely wasn't the most peaceful nights sleep but the bed was comfortable and clean. However, I do not think this is a problem unique to The Vintage Inn but rather an issue facing all hostels. It is close to lots of good places to eat and the train station is about a 10 minute walk away. Would recommend this hostel to a friend and would stay again if on a budget.

Bad sleep, fantastic location
Checkin friendly and competent. Toilet small (as others mentioned) but separate shower okay. Breakfast lacked anything local: toast, beans, scrambled microwave egg, sausage - could be much better (roti, nasi, ...). Upper beds not so easy to climb because ladder had rather hard/painful edges; temperature quite warm because only curtain blocked and wooden walls any ventilation; felt springs in the bed; only one power socket and no light installed in the cubicle. Common rooms clean and okay. Kitchen nice. Coffee and tea only 3-in-1 - horrible for me. Absolute fantastic neighborhood just at the border of little India with lots to see, famous Tekka Center just 300m away, MRT 150m. So you can get everywhere and have authentic life just next but don't have to stay in loud/too westernized environment.

This is a one night stay hotel
Not what we expected (even if it's value for money). Capsules are not vacuumed, they just changed the bed sheets. The breakfast lady is not friendly at all. People just put their baggage/luggage everywhere in the room. Don't believe what you see in the pictures (especially for the bathroom).
