If your kids are fascinated by trains, this might just be their dream staycation! One of Singapore’s retired MRT carriages—once part of the North-South and East-West Line—is now being turned into a boutique-style hotel.
Train Pod @ one-north has kept much of the original train interior, including the driver’s seat and control panel. You can even watch real-life footage of the train in action during its service years—perfect for a little blast from the past or a fun teachable moment with your little ones.

The carriage has been cleverly designed to fit 8 ensuite rooms, each one equipped with:
- Murphy-style bunk beds (sleeps 2 comfortably)
- Air-conditioning
- High-speed WiFi and Netflix for cozy movie nights
Families with more than two members can request adjacent rooms—perfect for turning it into a shared “sleep on a train” adventure!
When you're not hanging out in your room, there’s plenty to explore:
- 24/7 vending machines with snacks and drinks
- Outdoor kitchen and dining area (yes, light cooking is possible!)
- Coin-operated laundry facilities
- Fridge/freezer
-
Bicycle racks for exploring the one-north neighborhood
And here's a cool twist: outdoor benches made from original MRT seats—great for train photos or a quick family picnic!
A Staycation That’s Fun & Thoughtful
Train Pod isn’t just about fun—it’s also about smart, sustainable living. The entire project was built with upcycled materials, and even the transformation process involved collaboration with local tech startups for things like:
- Smart keyless entry
- AI-powered safety systems
- Self check-in and GenAI concierge for easy planning
It’s a staycation that’s as cool as it is convenient.
Pricing
Room rates will be around $80 to $90 on weekdays, and $100 to $120 on weekends, excluding taxes and service charge.
Perfect for Families with Train-Loving Kids
Whether your little ones love choo-choos, or you’re looking for a unique local getaway that the whole family can talk about for weeks—Train Pod @ one-north delivers a refreshing mix of comfort, nostalgia, and just the right amount of adventure.
