Very affordable but facing some teething issues. The place felt a bit hard to navigate- the lobby felt pretty hidden away and the lifts seemed to never arrive. The lock on my capsule didn’t work either so I had to bring my luggage with me. For the price it’s hard to beat though, and definitely something I’d consider doing again.

I wasn't given the capsule I booked. Booked Female capsule which slightly costs more than mixed ones but didn't give me back the difference insisting it was the issues by Hotels.com. I did online checkin as I got instruction email by the hotel - well, via Hotels.com. There should've been some data mis-matching, which is not MY fault, more like between theirs and this Hotels.com data transfer system. So be careful upon check-in if you book female pod from here. Better message the hotel for reconfirm before checkin. They said they'd investigate what happened, there was another case in a week. From following night, they said they move me to female pod (I originally booked) but didn't do anything about my 1st night. Mixed pod area was quite safe so my stay itself was okay. Capsule was slightly bigger than expected. No wait time for toilet / shower. I didn't like the shower room - hope they replace the shower head. You can get slippers, earplugs, water, little snacks by vending machine. No tea / coffee / hot water facilities on site as far as I saw. Bins are for everything, no bin for recycling.

The capsule itself is cozy and well-designed for a good night’s sleep. The mattress was comfortable, and I appreciated having both a power outlet and USB ports for charging devices. Features like dimmable lighting, a mirror, and a fan you can control added convenience. The pillow and duvet were also of good quality, which was a nice touch. However, the temperature inside the capsule was a major drawback—it became uncomfortably warm. Even in December, I had to keep the door slightly open for fresh air. I can only imagine how hot it will get during summer. Storage options were limited. There was no dedicated space for shoes or luggage, so guests ended up placing them wherever they could find room. This felt disorganized and could easily be improved. On the positive side, there were plenty of showers and toilets, so I never experienced a queue. That said, the shower design needs attention—you get wetter standing near the door than under the showerhead, and belongings can easily get soaked if not placed carefully. Free shower soap was a nice bonus. The elevator was painfully slow, which was frustrating. I hope this is addressed soon. Check-in was self-service via an iPad, which worked fine, but if you need assistance, expect to wait in line. I missed having more attentive service at check-in; staff seemed disengaged and offered minimal help. Overall, for the price I paid, the experience was borderline acceptable. I’ve had better stays at hostels compared to this hotel.

Great location. Low cost. It's an odd experience. Fine for one night. Wouldn't want to stay longer. I know it's intentionally very basic, but not being given a towel seemed to be taking that minimalist approach a bit too far.

Was like entering a building site. The hall ways were very dark and intimidating The WhatsApp communications were just robot answers and couldn't easily help. The capsule lock didn't work so had to ask at reception who could only fit the outside and was shocked that a lone female would want a lock internally. After pushing I got a new capsule which locked. Unfortunately maintenance turned up at 8.30 which woke me up. The bathrooms were often dirty with blocked sinks. There was no drinking water. Not really impressed but a great location

No one to attend. The quality of pods is very cheap. No sound proofing you will hear people talking, doors opening and closing, people passing by all night.
