Hotel Details

Accommodation

Space-themed capsules with a private, lockable pod, individual air conditioning, lighting, and a fold-down table. Rooms range from single pods to private family rooms.
Capsules are constructed from plastic and offer limited sound isolation. Road-facing rooms and those near the dormitory door experience more noise. The capsule mattress is thin (approx. 5 cm), and taller travellers should note the capsule length is 2 m. Each pod includes a power outlet (requires access card), USB ports (often weak), reading lights, a mirror light, a fan, and a TV. The lockers are small (a 40L backpack fits, but not a large suitcase); luggage can be stored in a secure storeroom. Private family rooms with attached bathrooms are available, and double-bed capsules and standard family rooms may have a private bathroom.

Dining

Breakfast options may be available depending on the date; check availability at booking. No restaurant on site.
The hotel does not have a restaurant, but the location on Petaling Street places you within steps of dozens of food stalls, restaurants, and cafes. Notable nearby options include Fat Boy Steamboat, Starbucks, Kedai Kopi Lai Foong, Texas Chicken, and Puduraya Hawker Court, all within 0.5 km. The shared lounge has a vending machine and a microwave for guest use.

Wellness and Leisure

No spa or swimming pool. Leisure facilities are limited to a shared lounge and an outdoor balcony seating area.
The wellness offering is minimal. The shared lounge provides a space to relax, work, or socialise, with a TV, board games, and a coffee machine. A small outdoor balcony with seating is available. The property's unique design and space theme itself can be considered a leisure experience, often appealing to families and solo travellers. There is no on-site gym or fitness area.

Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Request a bottom capsule if climbing the small ladder to the upper bunk is a concern.

  • 02

    Bring a power bank, as the capsule's USB ports can be weak and the single power outlet requires the access card to be inserted.

  • 03

    Plan to park at Kotaraya Complex or Central Market (paid, hourly), as the hotel has no parking.

  • 04

    Confirm if a private bathroom is essential, as shared bathrooms are separated by gender and shared among other guests.
