Staying in a CAPSULE POD SUITE HOTEL! | IS THIS THE BEST BUDGET ACCOMMODATION in SINGAPORE? (2020)

[@SJluvx]

You stayed really near to a food centre that is called Golden Mile. The food centre serves really great local food like hokkien mee (fried prawn noodles), tangyuans (sweet rice ball dumplings). I know you love chicken rice, the food centre even has a chicken rice stall that has snaking queues and it's my favourite one!

[@darrche5129]

If you crave thai food the golden mile complex have em...

[@sayurik]

Omg yes, that chicken rice stall is the best in Singapore (IMO) !!!! I always call beforehand to skip the queue 😂

[@JaniceFung]

I loveeee chicken rice! If i saw the queue I’d probably start lining up bc I’m always curious to know what people are so keen about

[@feedmeimei]

Whoa cool that it's actually a room!! So much more privacy!!

[@feedmeimei]

$48 USD is such a good price! My most expensive capsule hotel in Tokyo was $41 and it wasn't nearly as spacious!

[@LaxMarch2022]

SGD not USD

[@juniesantos6911]

You have an amazing sense of adventure. Thank you for sharing your travels with us.

[@faiqzulkifli9071]

So much effort esp in the transitioning scenes! How many times did u have to go back to pick your cam/tripod? 😂 rly good content n video overall! Excited to see you keep growing on youtube!

[@JaniceFung]

thank you!! it was my workout that day hahaha :P

[@SmallOpenings]

Omg another one, I thought this is a re-upload of your previous video 🤣👍🏻

[@studiousgirl71]

Small Openings Sg so did I until I noticed the Singapore 🇸🇬

[@SmallOpenings]

@@studiousgirl71 I meant previously when she is in Singapore, she stayed at a capsule hotel as well. 🤣

[@JaniceFung]

hahaha :P maybe i should switch up the thumbnail a bit

[@SmallOpenings]

@@JaniceFung maybe use caption like "Another Capsule hotel in Singapore?" Or something, just saying 🤣

[@yurim4632]

Hi Janice thanks for showing us around Singapore! - the prawn noodles looked so good! Also congrats in advance on the 10k subs not long to go now! :) You are an inspirational young lady, wish I could muster up the courage to quit my corporate gig too! Love your personality and content especially the familiar local scenes in Sydney - hope to bump into you one day! Wishing you the best! Take care and safe travels!

[@JaniceFung]

thank you so much for this comment! not going to lie... the doubt is still always there but just got to try and drown it out:P please say hi if we ever bump into each other!

[@vincenzoliandro1246]

keep going Janice...I extremely love all of your video...I always watch at least one of your video each day for improving my english...anyway I will continue my further study to sydney,australia next year.. wish me luck sis

[@JaniceFung]

aww gd luck with it!!!

[@heytarraa]

omg thank you for filming this, will stay at pod too and that fried prawn noodles seems delish.

[@StrumentoGearon]

Novena! It is near orchard and balestier road.

[@JaniceFung]

so...where do you reckon is the best neighbourhood to stay at when in Singapore?

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

Hmm depends of one's interests...we stayed first in Little India, it was good. Chinatown isn't bad. Our friends stayed near Haji Lane and it was nice too. Our housesit was in Newton... Plenty of good places to choose!

[@NihazVIDZ]

The best places are in and around Bugis area (where you stayed) It's also kinda in the middle of Singapore to places of interest. But it depends on each Traveller and preferences😊

[@jhf4930]

Looking at your video is like looking at my own daughter ;D

[@chatgigipt]

This vid is timely, Janice! Hitting SG for U2 concert and was initially booked at my fave #poshtel, Adler Hostel, but it is in Chinatown and The Pod is nearer to concert venue. Was not able to score a Pod Suite as it was already booked, but got myself a pod at the female dorm. Thanks!

[@ShawnKoh]

Pasir Ris!! Cause its new Jewel 😉 hahahahah

[@nuyoo6504]

Really happy to see you progressing along your youtube journey. Also you're getting really good at talking to the camera while you vlog. Keep it up! That temple thingy looks cool, what is it?

[@JaniceFung]

thank you so much! and thank you for always commenting on the videos :D i feel like my arms are getting stronger too ! it's the Mosque

[@paulB5557]

Hi Janice ...just love your videos. I have travelled to Singapore for last 10 years, stayed at Park Royal and always walk over the fly over just outside the POD when I cross Beach Road. I have always wondered what the pod was like......you have answered my question ...thanks keep up your great videos.

[@stazgazer]

Try different flavors of Yakult while you are here (original, grape, orange and green apple). Only available in Singapore.

[@JaniceFung]

That sounds interesting and I’m very curious!! Do u find this in supermarkets?

[@toricisco]

Janice Fung yes local groceries have them. You can also try iced Yakult teas at Koi or any bubble tea shops.

[@richarddegilde7104]

Love your videos. I’m going to Singapore 🇸🇬 on the 20th thanks 🙏 for the tour

[@notasleanstillasmean3593]

Welcome back to Singapore!!! Have a great time here Janice!!!

[@JaniceFung]

Thanks so much!!!

[@graemespeed4285]

All your videos are informative and fun Janice. You always manage to get a few chuckles from me😀

[@JaniceFung]

haha thank sso much for watching Graeme :)

[@TwoHungryDiners]

One of the most spacious capsule hotels we’ve ever seen from watching videos on YT. Would love to stay here when we visit Singapore later 🙏 The breakfast looks okay, not the best but will fill you up 👍🏻 Thanks for reviewing this 😃

[@winterred917]

Do they also provide shower necessities? Like shampoo & conditioner, soap, etc?

[@JardinJumat]

Nice review. Even though this is a 3 year ago. Its one of the best review for this hotel. Im gonna try it this out nx wk

[@robertk8452]

Hi Janice, Thanks for the video. Great choice! Question: did your room come with windows, because I didn’t see any view or ventilation....thanks! 🙏

[@amitlimbu5025]

is it a single occupancy room like pod or a shared double bedded? thanks.

[@nickandhelmi]

Tissue 😅 haha the life saver, btw did you say you can use credit card for the ezlinl there too like in sydney

[@JaniceFung]

Yeah ! Can use Cc there instead of ez link and I wasn’t charged foreign transaction fees cuz I was using the 28 degree card

[@twinklebae]

We stayed here at the pod two weeks ago!! Wow. I miss it. ♥️

[@Edwin__Official]

I can imagine you having to walk back and forth awkwardly to set up those shots of you opening all of those doors just to get to the bathroom! 🤣🤣

[@JaniceFung]

hahha yes i was very very awkward xD

[@im3631]

Hi! Great video, I loved it! ❤ can you tell me how did you find the hotel overall? How many days did you stay here? Were you able to sleep at night with the ear plugs or was that an issue? 😅 I’m planning to stay here for a couple of days and am a pretty light sleeper.. thanks :)

[@jasmineng6575]

Welcome to Singapore! There’s another area called Katong where they sell chicken rice (Delicious Boneless Chicken Rice with free soup like peanut soup). As a local I love to go to the hawker centre at Marine Parade as well where there is a lot of variety:)

[@JaniceFung]

Oh I’ll make sure I check that out next time! Thanks Jasmine! ☺️

[@michaeltham9914]

Welcome back to Singapore again. 🇸🇬 Hope you enjoy your stay and visit many places here as you can. 👍

[@JaniceFung]

definitely tried to :)

thank you so much for watching Issac!

[@michaelj2528]

As always an interesting and informative vlog, the looks great it has everything you need nothing posh but after all you only sleep there . I like Singapore lucky to have been twice hopefully get to go again , looking forward to more content from Singapore. Nice vlog as always

[@JaniceFung]

thanks Michael - yeah the room is function and does the job!

[@HyunRalphJeong]

It's so cool they invited you to stay there! Haha I'm not quite sure how I'd feel about sleeping 3 feet under a stranger but maybe it's better that you can't see them lol. For the price it seems pretty good.

[@JaniceFung]

Hahaha as least I can’t see them / make eye contact 😅

[@iawarenow658]

bit expensive, Budget1 in Geylang is better and got own bathroom too.. also even more cost effective is a tent on East Coast Park and wake up to the Sea View much better..

[@kivsanchez811]

I am enjoying your videos. You're a talented videographer and you stayed so close to where I stayed when I was in Singapore! BTW...it must take you awhile to go anywhere when you are having to constantly put your camera on the tripod and walk past an area for the shot >.< lol

[@SallyAndEd]

Never stayed in a capsule hotel, but they have always been fascinating to us! They seem like a super affordable option in Singapore 😄Girrrrrlllll you need to get yourself a power cube! It has honestly changed our lives when travelling. They have 4/5 power points and 3 USB points! You can charge EVERYTHING at once using just one powerpoint and they wrap up so small!!! Anyways this place looks awesome and we can't wait to watch more of Singapore 😄

[@JaniceFung]

Yea I def have to haha

[@wok-onbai538]

It would be helpful in the future if you mentioned the location and price of your lodging and the eateries you patronize.

[@nilobeebee]

Janice walks like a dude but when she suddenly smiles, I smile back at my screen.

[@Hispandinavian]

I never been to Asia yet and love pod hotels. There is nice one in Washington DC. Also I stayed in a capsule room in Capetown South Africa.

[@JaniceFung]

How was the one in Cape Town?

[@Hispandinavian]

@@JaniceFung It's Called 91 Loop Street Hostel. They were more like plain wooden ornately painted pods with a locker and USB outlet.

[@feedmeimei]

Huh I wonder why the laundry room says no entry LOL

[@toni-kaku]

Zam Zam is really good. Next time try the mutton murtabak with fish curry. It's amazing.

[@YoshiKirishima]

Awesome review! Thinking of staying here for 3 weeks and was deciding between a side pod and the single suite. For 50% more in cost it seems the suite is worth the extra comfort, especially having a desk. I'm afraid if the lobby / business pods downstairs may be full often or if it's hard to connect to the wifi down there. One question, can you pull the desk out at all in the suite or is it attached to the wall?

[@crosbyong]

Good choices of meals! Welcome back! BTW, it’s pronounced as “zum zum” 😜

[@JaniceFung]

ahhh got it thanks Crosby!

Yay more Singapore videos...love that you tried real local foods and hawker centre when you’re in town. There are myriad of hawker centre you should tried Janice, Maxwell Food Centre, Old Airport Hawker Center, Tekka Centre, People Park Food Centre, Golden Mile Food Centre, Geylang Serai Food Centre. Anyway keep up the great food and travel videos, you’ve got a fan. Stay Singapore longer and you’ll really get to try different foods.

[@JaniceFung]

thank you so much Azrin! i did get a chanc eto go to Golden Mile Food centre last time and i ordered one of those ABC soups i think? so goood reminded me of my mum's soup

[@Hispandinavian]

I love POD hotels. I'm into just bare bones minal living. Last January I was in a capsule room in Cape Town, South Africa in 91 Loop Hostel. It's amazing. The is also a capsule hotel in Washington DC. Too bad this Corona crisis has totally ruined international travel. I was actually planning a sort of Pacific East Asia/Australia trip. My plan was to go to Japan for a week, and then go to Australia with a long overnight layover in Singapore or Hong Kong. On the way. This was supposed my first time ever in East Asia! Sadly my dreams of happy Anime nerd time in the Akihabara district, were crushed by the CV outbreak. Maybe one day the Japan dream will finally come true.

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

This capture hotel is more our style. Do you know if only single guests are allowed or are the rooms for couples? Looks clean and modern. I totally get the need of having to go back to a destination to cover more ground. We just returned to Texas for the same reason. Haha

[@Calvin2601]

Congrats on your 10k subs! 15k by end of this year, maybe?

[@JaniceFung]

Yeah I did! Didn’t try them though, do they taste the same as regular ones

[@mkDCguy]

@@JaniceFung I didn’t try it either, they cost around $250 each as I remember. But I had lots of other wonderful food including the Singapore chili Crab which was amazing!

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

That's convenient that you can use your credit card. This whole tissues situation is adorable. Love that system. That's a fun area to stay at. Get on that video, girl! Hahaha We understand that pressure!

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

So cool you got invited to that hotel. More charging plugs would be nice, but not bad at all. We use ear plugs regardless. That's too early for breakfast. Haha But those prawn noodles, yum!
