Embracing the Capsule Experience in the Heart of Chinatown
In the bustling heart of Chinatown, Singapore, a unique lodging experience awaits—the Cube Boutique Capsule Hotel. Originating from the popular Japanese concept of capsule hotels, Cube brings an innovative twist to budget-friendly accommodation.
The Capsule Concept Unveiled
Capsule hotels are renowned for their compact, pod-like sleeping quarters. Cube takes this concept to a new level, offering not just a place to sleep but an experience that blends affordability with a touch of luxury. Priced at £97 for a private room accommodating two (in September), the cost includes two capsules, providing an intriguing opportunity to delve into the capsule lifestyle.
Booking Options for Varied Preferences
At Cube, guests have the flexibility to choose between a private room, standard capsule, or female-only capsules. The private room option grants a dedicated space for bags and a desk, ensuring a bit of extra room. For those who embrace the true essence of capsule living, the standard capsule provides an authentic experience.
What’s in Store: Amenities and Services
Upon booking, guests are welcomed with a thoughtful package that includes a bottle of water, dental kit, towel, and access to shared but meticulously clean individual bathrooms. The inclusion of a breakfast buffet adds a delightful touch, providing a range of options to kickstart the day. Each guest also receives a personal storage unit, enhancing the convenience of the stay.
Capsule Etiquette: Rules and Regulations
As with any unique accommodation experience, Cube comes with its set of rules. Guests are not allowed to bring outside food or drink into their capsules, ensuring the capsules remain pristine and the communal areas tidy. They also supposed to be walking without shoes, but this wasn’t as strictly followed by guests from what we could see.
The Verdict: A Night to Remember
A night at Cube Boutique Capsule Hotel is more than just a stay—it’s a journey into a distinctive realm where comfort meets innovation. While the capsule experience might evoke memories of student dorms or backpacking adventures, Cube manages to infuse a hint of luxury into the capsule concept. Whether you’re seeking budget-friendly lodging or an unforgettable experience, Cube Boutique Capsule Hotel in Chinatown, Singapore, offers a night to remember.
