Close to everything in the heart of the city. Only thing is the capsules are what seems to be mould injected or pressed plastic and feel ver flimsy and make all kinds of creaking noises when getting in and out of them. Other than that, all other amenities are good.

I was woken up at 2am my capsule shaking like an earthquake from a couple. I had no choice but to check out middle of the night. Would not recommend if you want to sleep.

Make sure to demand a capsule that actually works.

The capsule I was in was broken. Clearly terrible maintenance. I couldn't lock my capsule and I felt completely vulnerable.

The dorms were clean, quiet and very tidy. Lockers a good size. Bathrooms quite old and damaged tiles etc. Overall quite a pleasant surprise for the price, however the mattress was so thin it was quite uncomfortable to try to sleep on. Ive had neck pain since. If my mattress had have been a bit thicker and comfortable, I would stay again.

Great place to stay if heading out for a few drink

Always a great stay at the capsule Hotel, i Live 2 hours out of the CBD and works out great if i want to catch up with mates and go out drinking, 5 mins walk from Town Hall Station, walk to everything including markets, little Japan with great food, lots of great bars within walking distance, also has a great little Japanese dart bar with Kiren on tap! The bathroom etc is shared but always clean, bedding and capsules clean, if your heading out in the CBD cant get anything more central for the money, cant recommend enough

Great place to stay for lower budget travelers

It's a great place for the price, the location and in fact it's Sydney. The few cons is that reception only open from 10 to 8 which is a short window for guest to check in or leave their bag on the last day. The capsules have no sound isolation which is standard for all capsule hotels but the power cuts off when you remove the card from its slot. This meant that I can't even leave my power bank to be changed while I'm away exploring the city.

Can’t beat the price. Nice and cozy. Much better than a dorm room in hostels. The beds are thin foam. Very uncomfortable beds. If they upgrade the mattresses it’s a perfect cheap simple place to stay in heart of cbd.

Portaloo on its side with a space theme!

I had heard about capsule hotels from an event attendee years ago and wanted to try out as something different, and different it is. As my partner pointed out, and because I mentioned it was very plastic-y and therefore very noisy when you get in and out, it kind of looks like a portaloo on its side. Pros. Super cheap place to stay. Communal kitchen really nice, and has tea and coffee, microwave and big glass fridges. Level 3 had the kitchen, compact lounge/dining area and 16 capsule dorm. I found most guests were considerate of others, keeping noise down etc. suprisingly quite on Fri and Sat nights even though a bar on floor below and Works Square outside. Capsule adequate size, nice cosy duvet and pillow. Cons

The pods are actually much bigger and spacious than expected so wouldn't worry if you're concerned about feeling cramped. It's a great concept however the pods are quite run down and don't feel very sturdy, when someone gets into one on the same block as you the whole thing shakes and the doors are very loud. My door also had tape on it which didn't give a great impression of sturdiness! However all other facilities are decent a great location
