Great value for money The location is perfect, very close to the subway station, making it convenient to go anywhere. There are restaurants and convenience stores nearby. The accommodation itself is great, offering complete privacy. Both the room and the capsule are well-cooled. The capsules can also be locked, making it very safe. There are also plenty of attractions nearby, all within walking distance.

The bathroom is really hot, and the ventilation needs improvement. The USB ports in the cabin don't work, but there are power outlets, so make sure to bring your own adapter. The bed is quite thin, and the soundproofing is poor—you can hear everything from the top bunk, whether it's a phone call or someone turning over in bed. But these are not major issues.

The location is one of the best things about this place being walking distance of all of the CBDs hottest tourist spots but make no mistake, the facilities and fun factor of this capsule hotel rivals even the ones in Japan. Clean bathrooms, secure lockers, cool lounge and bar. Even has a very easy-to-get-to washing machine room rarely anyone uses. The capsule itself was plenty of space , I even had room to lie down flat with 2 bags with me.

The sound proofing of the capsule was non existent but quality of noise is dependant on your neighbours. You can hear mostly everything from a bump in another capsule to 2am conversations going on outside your capsule.

The hotel is about 10 minutes' walk from the nearest train station and is located right where the night market is, as well as several tourist landmarks, so it is extremely convenient. There is a 7-11 convenience store right opposite as well. Check-in was quick and hassle-free, and the staff was professional and polite. The reception area was clean and had couches, chairs and a long table with power extension cords, so you can just hang around and charge your devices while chatting with mates. Water dispenser is available too. The capsule was very clean and comfortable, and spacious enough for one person. I'm 170cm tall and when I sat upright, there was still about 30cm of room above my head. A locker is provided for each capsule, but it is very shallow and cannot really fit any luggage, so you will have to just leave your bags out in the common area outside your capsule, or take it with you into your capsule. Shared bathroom was relatively clean. Towel was provided, and the bathrooms come equipped with shower gel, shampoo and air dryer. All in all, I would say it is good value for money.

The downside is that you can hear and feel your neighbour if he/she moves around in the capsule, and when moving in/out, as the sound-proofing isn't really the best; but it didn't really bother me too much.

It's in the heart of Chinatown. The Pasar Seni LRT Station is half a kilometre away. Moreover, Bukit Bintang and Pavilion are just close by but yes, walking is in the workout.

Climbing up two flights of stairs to reach the premises of Space Hotel. If you have heavy bags and a tiresome trip from travelling, it's very, very unpleasant.

Brilliant experience

The staff didn’t speak English and was rude several times to me, even one time splashing water at me in the toilet, and laughing amongst themselves.

I had such a wonderful stay at Space Capsule in Chinatown, KL, thanks to the incredible hospitality of Grace and Domenic. From the moment I arrived, Grace went above and beyond to make me feel welcome and comfortable. She truly cared about my wellbeing and did everything she could to ensure I had a smooth and stress-free experience. Her kindness and attentiveness meant the world to me, especially after a difficult travel situation. I can’t thank her enough for her patience and support—it genuinely made all the difference. Domenic was also incredibly helpful, professional, and accommodating. The staff here are the heart of the place, and it shows in everything they do. Clean, cosy, and run by people who care—I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting KL. Thank you again, Grace and Domenic. You made my stay unforgettable!

I liked how the staff were friendly immediately you check in and the privacy of the accommodation because it's enclosed pods. The place was really clean which I liked and not forgetting the space theme that made Mr book in the first place. I enjoyed chatting with others in the lounge area as well where you can relax and have beverage which is free. The location is good as it's in China town where you can shop alot and try different food and not far from the city center. Highly recommend it.

Not necessarily dislike, but since it's a shared space, just be prepared to exercise patience as there's different kinds of people eg some may be loud etc.

I had a great time at the hotel, it was indeed a little bit of a cosmic experience and all the tech in capsules was working perfectly. Nicholas and Grace gave a warm welcoming and were always present to guide me if I had an issue or needed advice, as well as the cleaning team who always made sure the place was clean (it's always clean here, I think they clean 3 times a day, insane!). A special praise for Grace who comes over as the natural leader of the hostel, as an entrepreneur I encounter a lot of people and very rare you come along a raw diamond of talent for client relations. If I would live in KL I would hire her instantly and pay her double. Just a few remarks, I don't usually write reviews but for this hotel I had to take some time. See you soon!

they take security very seriously. you need card to access the locker, room, and your capsule. you don't need to worry about your things being exposed to strangers. i am a smaller person and the area of the capsule is just nice for me to chill and rest when i am not out and about. the shower and toilet area is very clean when i visited. there is a laundry area so you can do yours in the hotel, very convenient even though I didn't use it because i am a local. a fuss-free check in and out process. the location is ideal for day travelers who do everything on foot as long as the streets are busy in the morning/afternoon, there are a few pretty nice cafes in the area as well.

location is, however, a negative for night solo travelers. the train station is a good distance away from the hotel (15 minutes brisk walk), and the streets are filled with unsavory people (i had to run away from a creepy guy who saw me walking alone back to the hotel and he tried to mug me or do something bad at 9:40pm ish when the nightlife is just getting started) and had lack of lighting/streetlights at night. also, this hotel is on the other end of the long petaling street away from all the nightlife, train station and cafe, so there are almost zero activity in the area at night. after 9pm, the area will be dark and isolated. if you really had to go out at night, i recommend that you take a trusted taxi or grab that sends you directly to this hotel.

I had a fantastic stay at Space Hotel @ Chinatown Kuala Lumpur! Despite being a budget hotel, the experience exceeded my expectations. The staff were incredible – always friendly, attentive, and truly there to help whenever needed. They went above and beyond to make sure I had a comfortable stay, and it made a big difference. What really stood out was how clean the place was! The staff were constantly cleaning throughout the day, ensuring the hotel was spotless and in great condition. It's clear they take pride in maintaining high standards. Whether it was tidying up common areas or making sure everything was in order, they were always on it. For a budget hotel, Space Hotel offers amazing service, and the staff's dedication really shines through. I highly recommend staying here – you’ll feel well taken care of in a welcoming and clean environment! "Special Thank You to the Staff!"
