All the main spots the beach, restaurants, and shops were within walking distance. The pods were cool and well-ventilated, making it a perfect place to relax after a day out. Would definitely stay again!

The best capsule hotel hostel in Waikiki
Pros:

Visited as a solo female traveler, staying in a women-only sleeping pod at Podtel. The experience was excellent, in an amazing location in the heart of Waikiki, less than a 5-minute walk from the beach, shopping, and great food spots. Pods, communal areas, amenities, and services were all excellent—very clean and well managed. Check-in and check-out were done online, so there was very little need to interact with the staff, although there was always someone at the front desk if I needed anything. I felt very safe my whole stay there. Everyone staying at Podtel was quiet, respectful, and friendly—mostly kept to themselves. Not a place for meeting people/socializing, but perfect for a comfortable, budget-friendly stay. Would definitely recommend!

I slept better here than at other hotels and hoste
Pros:

I was a bit apprehensive at first since check-in and communication were all online and felt a little impersonal. But once I arrived, the staff was super helpful and made everything easy. Security was great, and I felt very safe throughout my stay. The pod mattress was incredibly comfortable—honestly, I slept better here than at other hotels and hostels. Such a unique and peaceful stay in Waikiki. Would definitely come back!
