Pros:

Great central location. Friendly, helpful staff and clean accommodation.

Pros:

For a short stay it was exactly what we needed as we were out all day. The Pods were surprisingly comfortable and majority of the guests understood respectable shared space areas. If you're after a value for money and happy to share common areas this is a unique stay.

Cons:

If you are very tall the Pod might not be a comfortable sleep.

Only one night.
Pros:

Pros
-location (cbd edge, walking distance to grocery/eateries)
-firm comfy bed
-easy check in and out
-secure lockers

Cons:

Cons
-can hear snores and sounds pretty clearly through the pods (plus fairly loud plastic/metal creaking when people climb in their pods)
-being 166cm, I fit without feet/head touching the pod, and didn’t feel claustrophobic, but I suspect a 180cm person would have to sleep sideways or lil more bent
-Luke warm shower was painful for such a cold day, I couldn’t wash my hair :(
-no parking (free on Saturday night and Sunday in the cbd streets though)

Pros:

I was playing an 8ball tournament 2 blocks away and location ment it was close

Cons:

Both sides of me were snoring. A Japanese fella was cooking food it stunk the whole area out then the next morning burn some kinda of fish it was putrid. Showers are small and no room to get dressed. Toilets are to close the Japanese person was in toilet next to me and it was bad. I'm not racist or anything but yeah that food was putrid.then there was some guy laying all over the tables standing on the benches wrapping himself in the curtains in the kitchen definatly high on ice was no security to contact.

It’s basically an overpriced backpackers for tourists
Pros:

The location, price & cleanliness

Cons:

It was so noisy we couldn’t sleep. We left at 11:30pm & slept in the car. A man was drinking alcohol on the floors outside the pods watching porn on his phone.
