I thought the experience was very unique and I think it’s a large leap forward. In the way we we travel and find places to stay. I personally have no need for an entire room all to myself and the capsule was a breath of fresh air to sleep in I think I spent Max 20 minutes other than to sleep right in the capsule area and the shower area overall was a great time and I appreciate a Z well pioneering with this concept and finding creative ways to bring people closer together. It’s a great way to network that’s for sure.

I was really surprised at how comfortable the capsule was. Had a great night's sleep. The shared bathroom facilities were okay - could have been cleaner around the trough sink areas. Staff were very accommodating on check in. Location was super. It's a good stopover for the Eurostar or that essential business that has to be done. I'd definitely stay again.

Check-in process was nice and easy albeit one minor issue which was resolved within seconds from the member of staff working there. The capsule was comfortable and clean as was the rest of the hostel. What let it down on my occasion was that my capsule (bed 3144) was located opposite the door to the bathrooms meaning that I got woken up every time the door closed. This happened every few minutes throughout the night. I therefore had a really poor sleep. The capsule was also very hot which didn't help and there wasn't much airflow. I believe I got unlucky this time and had it been positioned elsewhere then I would have slept fine. Would I stay here again? For the price and location yes I would stay here again.

Very dirty. Beds fine. Not safe for vulnerable ppl

Toilets and bathrooms were revolting. Building was horrific and honestly dangerous. Bed were fine. Poor air circulation and noisy. It was fine. But I am a strong single male so felt safe enough. Do NOT stay if you are a female lone traveller or vulnerable person

Not for large people! Take your own sturdy padlock

The Capsule dorms and toilet/shower facilities are clearly designed for skinnier smaller people than the average UK person. They seem to have taken the Japanese concept but not adjusted for height and weight differences in Europeans. Fortunately (?) I am smaller than average but only just. The capsule itself was very comfortable and I wound up using the quilt as additional back/head support since I was comfortably warm without it. Perfectly positioned USB A and USB C ports in the head rest, lighting area. Alongside the switch for the light and fan. The fan is not whisper tech and might be considered noisy by some but I had earphones in and the flip switch was easy to turn off along with the lights when I wanted to sleep. N.B. You have to provide your own padlock to secure the capsule when you go out. This was not advertised.

It’s convenient and cheap but it’s clearly still being finished off because if you choose to take the stairs down to the ground floor you’ll quickly find yourself in a maze of half-painted corridors with the occasional dangling electrical cable and under construction sign. That aside, it does the job and you get all the basics- power sockets, wifi, towel, soap, plenty of toilets and showers with shampoo and body wash. If the air con were at all quiet you wouldn’t know it was on for the lack of cooling it actually achieves. There’s no soundproofing so you will hear everyone else coming and going all night. The outside lock to the capsule takes some getting used to since it can be very stiff (push in and twist anti-clockwise to unlock, twist clockwise until it pops out to lock). I also found it doesn’t properly lock sometimes so you may have to repeat this process until it does. Oddly, the internal and external locking mechanisms are not one and the same so, in theory if someone were so inclined, they could lock you in. Also, lockers would be nice given the limited storage space in the pod itself. Overall, I’d say it gets the job done but you probably won’t get the best night’s sleep due to noise and temperature.

Just what I needed for an overnight stay. The hotel was easy to find, really close to the underground station. Lots of places to eat nearby. Capsule was spacious, clean and comfortable. Bathroom area was clean. Would definitely stay again.

Superbly located capsule hotel (not to be confused with the nearby Zedwell Hotel). Entrance is on Shaftesbury Avenue. Each capsule consists of a comfy mattress, a dimmable light, a fan, UK plug socket, USB and USB-c ports, plus a privacy screen which can be locked from the inside and outside (using your own padlock or £3 to buy from reception (in August 2025)). A towel was provided free of charge and could be changed daily. Capsules are either on ground level, or up some stairs (not ideal, especially if you have mobility issues). The major problem with the capsules is that they’re incredibly warm (despite the fan). This can make them quite unpleasant! For a new property, it’s very disappointing the owners decided not to install air-conditioning in the dorms. This, plus the lack of a communal place to sit outside your capsule, is not ideal. Note that the lack of communal space means you shouldn’t stay here if you’re looking to meet and socialise with other travellers. The shared bathrooms facilities are OK. The showers have a fixed head and no temperature control, just a push button to activate. Not ideal, but manageable. A real issue is a lack of hooks and shelving when using the sinks, it’s really inconvenient. One concern is that, having stayed here twice since it opened, six weeks apart, I’m really disappointed to see how the condition of the shared bathroom facilities has deteriorated. Management need to address these issues.

Good Hostel

Clean and comfortable. Easy to check in and check out. Adjustable lighting within capsule. USB charging port for your phone within capsule. Plenty of showers, which were clean. My only dislike was the shower operation mechanism. It operates by pressing a button. These are normally timed, so that the shower stays on for several seconds after pressing, but this one shuts off the moment you let go. Otherwise, the water is nice and hot and the pressure is good.
