Se resourcer au calme, les pieds dans l'eau et la tête dans les étoiles.
Pros:

Séjour super sympa dans cet espace incroyable. Je ne m'attendais pas à ce qu'il y ait autant d'espace et de services proposés (beaucoup de gens viennent y travailler car des ordinateurs ainsi qu'un phone booth sont à disposition). Ce qui créé une atmosphère vraiment particulière, loin des anciens clichés des auberges bondées et bruyantes. Ici le silence est d'or dès 21h30 et jusqu'à 8h. Ce qui permet vraiment de pouvoir profiter de Venice en tant qu'espace de paix où se ressourcer, et rencontrer des gens cools. Le rooftop est génial et il est possible de vraiment se sentir indépendant si l'on souhaite aussi prendre du temps pour soi sachant qu'il n'y a pas énormément de lits. J'espère que ce lieu restera ainsi pour plusieurs années encore et tenu par les mêmes personnes qui sont vraiment adorables.

Ein Ort, an dem die Zeit leise wird und sich alles für einen Moment richtig anfühlt. ✨
Pros:

Normalerweise schreibe ich keine Bewertungen, aber das Stay Open ist wirklich etwas ganz Besonderes. Sowohl das Lokal selbst als auch die Atmosphäre haben etwas Magisches.

Der Duft, die Sauberkeit und die angenehme Ruhe schaffen sofort ein Gefühl von Wohlbefinden. Dazu kommt eine grandiose Gastfreundschaft, die den Aufenthalt unvergesslich macht.

Ein Ort, an den man gerne zurückkehrt.

Upscalish pod experience
Pros:

Very clean in general, well located, with everything needed for a comfortable stay - much better experience than in a regular pod hotel

Cons:

Some patrons were not careful after using the shared facilities, which has nothing to do with the staff or facilities

とても良かったです
Pros:

キッチン用品、タオル類など生活に必要なものは一通り揃っているので身軽に滞在できます。清潔感があり静かでとても快適でした。吹き抜けの天井で開放感がありのびのびと過ごせますが、その分違うフロアの音も聞こえるので騒音を控える注意は必要です。スタッフの方もとても親切でシームレスな対応をして頂き気持ちよく滞在することができました。またぜひ利用したいです。

Cons:

特になし

Wonderful and Modern Hostel in LA
Pros:

I love everything about the place, beautiful, amazing distribution, spacious, lovely terrace, extremely clean and organised. The beds have everything you need in the space you have, absolutely modern.

Cons:

Maybe, just the quiet time should start a little later.

Amazing people and location!
Pros:

Awesome place & company with stunning views and all amenities that you might need! I was thrilled to stay there! Thank you so much

Cons:

Being able to separate rooms could increase privacy (even just with a little curtain - which they have!)
