We arrived at 2am and were told the double capsule we'd requested wasn't available. They offered two single capsules instead, and since it was so late, we agreed as long as they were in the same room. We'd messaged about the room on booking.com before our stay. Check-in then took a full 45 minutes. We were 15 ringitt short of the 50 Malaysian ringitt deposit, so we had to go to an ATM right then. We'd offered to pay first thing in the morning and leave our ID until then, but they wouldn't accept that. We understand it's their policy, but other travellers should know the deposit is required immediately. After another 10 minutes, the receptionist found a single bed for us, but there were no beds together in the same room. They opened a capsule above us, only to find someone sleeping in it. We'd already paid, and it was past three. My friend was told to sleep in a capsule outside the kitchen while I stayed in one inside the room. We weren't comfortable being split up, and that wasn't what we'd agreed to. The one by the kitchen would also be noisy when everyone woke up, and it hadn't even been made up. In the end, we slept in the same single capsule. The next morning, we asked for a refund for our second night, which we no longer wanted to stay, because the agreed sleeping arrangement hadn't been provided. After they talked among themselves, they refused, saying they'd already made up a double bed for us, which was now available. The night before, we'd been told we'd have single beds for the whole stay. Then they asked us to wait while they prepared the double bed. It took another 40 minutes before we could use it, so it felt like they'd lied when they said it was ready. The lockers were full too, though that was eventually sorted out. The night before, we'd had to leave our things on the floor. Our locker keys also opened each other's lockers, so I wouldn't leave valuables there. Later, the receptionist asked for my full card number. She already had the last four digits on the receipt from our card payment and wanted me to write in the rest for "the report." I wasn't comfortable sharing those details, and they didn't explain why they needed them. Then they made fun of us in Malay right in front of us. We could make out English-sounding words like receipt, bank, and card. On top of all that, the single bed was one of the hardest and most uncomfortable we've slept on, despite having stayed in many budget hostels. This was also one of the most expensive hostels we'd stayed in. We've been travelling for 8 months and have had good things to say about almost everywhere. We're budget travellers and tried to be kind and polite throughout this situation. This is my first bad review, and I feel bad writing it, but I'm really upset about how we were treated. We were lied to, made uncomfortable, and refused a refund after the promised room arrangement changed once they'd taken payment. I was also asked for confidential card details and laughed at when I refused. I want to warn other travellers, and I hope they do better.

The staff were warm, lively, kind, and always willing to help, and the location was very convenient for the city center and nearby activities. The sea view was beautiful too. Those were the best parts for me. The capsules were only average. They felt a bit wobbly, and though they worked, they didn't impress me compared with other capsule hotels. The toilets were the bigger problem. In Borneo's humid climate, mould is an issue. I could see the staff trying, but shared bathrooms also depend on guests, and not everyone has good civic sense. When we arrived around 8:30-9 PM on our first night, there was a noticeable smell, and I didn't feel comfortable using the toilets right away. The cubicles were very cramped. The women's shower area was reasonably spacious and usable, while the men's side had maintenance problems, including a broken sink. We stayed four days, and the sheets and pillowcases weren't changed. On the first day, the bedding had visible stains and hair, so I asked for it to be replaced. There was no follow-up cleaning or sheet change after that, which was disappointing. If you're on a strict budget and can manage very basic facilities, this could work. But spending even 10-20 ringgit more might get you a small private room with better hygiene and comfort. For me it was a 2-star experience: lovely staff and location, mediocre facilities and hygiene.

The location at Seaview Capsule Hotel was really convenient, and the staff made us feel welcome. The capsule was old, though, and some facilities felt dated. Everything worked, but the accommodation could use some updates. A solid option for the location and service.

I was very disappointed with the capsules. One of the two fans made a strange noise, and one of the two outlets inside mine didn't work. The main reason for my one-star rating, though, was the locker. It was a decent size, but broken and impossible to lock with its own mechanism, and I couldn't use my own lock. When I asked to change it, staff were unwilling to help, even though it was an empty weekend. The touch key card system used to lock several capsules was broken too, so they had attached locks that barely worked and were difficult to secure. I'm pretty sure a decent pair of scissors could cut one. They were combination locks, but the code was just the capsule number, which didn't feel secure, especially with the locker problem.

I had a great stay at Seaview Capsule Hotel. The woman at the front desk was exceptionally helpful, friendly, and professional. She went out of her way to make check-in smooth and gave clear guidance throughout my stay. Highly recommend!
