The capsule we stayed in was comfortable and a unique and fun experience. The front desk was very helpful with check in. Limited amount of showers/toilets, so in the morning and evenings had to wait.

Very nice couple operate this interesting facility. They work hard to keep it clean and running smoothly. Very convenient for a budget traveler. Secure entry and good security. We brought and cooked our own food in the well equipped kitchen. (With many other guests doing the same) Hostel vibe with visitors from many different countries and lots of ages. We enjoyed the experience but are happy that we brought earplugs. 9 bathrooms for up to 80 guests but we never had trouble finding an open one when we needed it. Right in the middle of downtown so tons of restaurants within walking distance.

Totally recommend staying here, Ive never stayed in a hostel or a pod before, but I was only in town for 2 day and wanted to embrace the backpacking experience. I heartfelt warmly thank the lady on reception and the gentleman in the mess room as they was so helpful and kind and gave a homely feeling to the place. The facilties are well kept and the cleaniness in the washrooms are kept to a very high standard. If your on a short visit and travelling through, stop here. Will definitely stay here again next time. Thank you so much.

This was a really unique and cool stay - I was surprised by how not-claustrophobic I felt in my little pod! There was enough room to sit up, and there were two ways to open the door (one with a button, and one manual, in case anyone is wondering). The manual was as easy to push down as a door's latch bolt. There is a tv in there, which you can connect to on your phone and listen to with headphones provided in the pod.

This was a fantastic experience, I absolutely loved staying at this hostel. Not only were the bathrooms incredibly clean and well kept, but staff were also extremely helpful and very friendly. The capsule itself was brilliant - plenty of space for both myself and my partner. Although when waking up the following morning we did find the air to be incredibly dry (due to the option of having fans on within the capsule). Much like how you feel post a long haul flight. However, this being the only minor negative, it was a fantastic experience and one I would highly recommend. Prior to arriving we received an email with a code to access the hostel front door and a check in code to receive our capsule key from a lockable box within the hostel (all very easy and smooth to do). We were also sent additional information in regards to where is best to park which was incredibly helpful and very much appreciated.
