Tylko na jedną noc
Cons:

W dolnej kabinie nie działała klimatyzacja, trzeba było spać z otwartymi drzwiami, każdy ruch osób w górnej kabinie był słyszalny

Comodo e funzionale alle necessità
Pros:

Quello che cercavo e che mi aspettavo. Molto bella la zona comune dell'ostello, accogliente, pulita ed organizzata.

Cons:

I pods non sono tanto insonorizzati, sono plasticosi e il materasso non è comodissimo. Ma mi aspettavo anche questi dettagli

Preporuke za noćenje u kapsuli
Pros:

Upute su jasne, objekt je izuzetno čist! Noćila sam u kapsuli i mogu reći da sam se dobro naspavala! U objektu je tiho i idealno je za prenoćiti. U kapsuli se nalaze dva jastuka i dva popluna, TV, USB punjači i ogledalo. Kupaonica ima 5 i izuzetno su čiste. Kuhinja je opremljena s dobrim uređajima.

Viking pods, 1 night after late flight!
Pros:

24h self checkin, great for late flights! Not far from airport with car! Clean bathrooms with showers!

Cons:

Sleeping space was a little tight for two people and for people over 180 cm may not be possible to sleep completely straight!

Cons:

Die Pods waren aus dünnem Kunststoff und Mega hellhörig. Man konnte alles aus dem Raum und den anderen Pods wahrnehmen. Somit keine gute Schlafunterkunft. Die anderen Gäste bemühten sich leise zu sein. Das Problem waren die Pods selber.

Pros:

Expérience originale dans cette capsule, qui me ramenait aux bons souvenirs d'enfance de la saga DBZ. La proximité avec l'aéroport de Keflavik (accessible à un tarif raisonnable en taxi, même après minuit) est un autre avantage. Nous ne savions pas si le café était offert mais il y en avait à disposition dans la salle commune. Étant donnée l'absence de personnel pour nous accueillir, nous en avons profité avant notre périple islandais. Je recommande donc cet établissement, qui semble bien organisé et globalement très propre. 👍
