I had a double pod even though it was just me. I found that it was spacious enough that I didn't feel claustrophobic - but if I'd gotten a single one I might have been a bit panicky. With the double, not at all panicky. It was just a plastic box at the end of the day, but it was fun, private and more than sufficient. The shared bathrooms were clean and tidy, with basic toiletries for guests to share. I liked that. I would stay here again if I was traveling alone and just needed somewhere to sleep. iOS perfect for that. The double capsule measures about 2m in length and 160cm in width. Sitting up in bed there's still about 8-10 inches above your head (I'm 5'6").

My first POD experience and it was a good one. Courteous staff, clean and modern showers, convenient communal kitchen & lounge area. The only thing not thought about is a change room, so when you want to get into your PJ's you have to go to the shower block to change, and there is not much room there! Overall very good, all the fellow PODsters were nice.

The pod was spotless. It was different not being able to see out once you shut the door but it was private. Perhaps the only thing I would have liked was for someone to show me my pod and a few words of explanation rather than just give me the keys. Otherwise the staff were very helpful and the communial areas were spotless.

Unique stay. Didnt have any issues. Kinda novelty. Mattress not too comfy though and with so many in the pods, its got that locker room kinda smell. But very easy to navigate. Clear. No sweat. Quick and easy kind of place.
