Perfect for a cheap overnight stay in a very central location.
Pros:

A cheap option for a brief overnight stay with clear instructions on how to use the facilities. The pod is comfortable with enough room for a few possessions and to sit up. I am closer to 60 years old than 50 and did not feel too out of place!

Cons:

I was surprised that there were not a few more showers and toilets.

Pros:

The bed was more comfortable that similar capsule hotels I have stayed in. Plus it was a double pod which was great. The showers and toilets were clean. There was a small kitchen where you could reheat food.

Cons:

The pods are not sound-insulated - we heard every door slam, locker open and pod opening and closing.

Pros:

Cosy and clean. I arrived very late and it was such an easy check in. All the pods are in one big shared room so it can be noisy especially if you’re beside the door. Would stay again!

Pros:

I like a clean and hygienic environment

Cons:

I don't like having all the beds in the room too close together; it makes it difficult to sleep because of the noise of people coming and going and the poor light blocking from the beds.
