Clean capsule, if a little small.Excellent location and first class value. Only downside was one lift wasn’t working and there was nowhere to. Get water either boiling for tea or cold for water bottles.

You get a capsule room in the heart of Piccadilly. Can’t ask for more. My little capsule was clean, cozy and I had the best sleep. The washroom facilities could use some work. By the early part of the evening, all the toilet paper in the stalls was out, and the toilets started to smell - think of a port-o-potty at an outdoor music festival. The showers work on a push function, and give you about 30 seconds of pressurized warm water. So it conserves water by running for 30 seconds, and then you have to push the button to get it to start again. Check in is easy - I got there about two hours too early so I paid 10GBP to check in early. They charge 15GBP to hold your bags so, no brainer. As I was leaving I discovered that there was a suitcase room you could leave your bigger bags in. Good to know for next time. I stashed my carry on on top of my bed when I left, and used a small padlock to lock my (garage) door. This is great if you are travelling alone - even better, you can request the female floor if you prefer that. I definitely recommend this for short solo stays. Comfortable and clean capsules, use the bathrooms mid-day after they are cleaned and you are set.

In a great location with an incredible cost which was main reason for booking. Difficult to find, very easy to find the hotel as well signposted but it is not in the same location but is near by. Use maps to find the Lindt store as its opposite. Pod was nice and clean, only one pillow though but towel was provided. They are definitely not sound proof and had neighbour speaking loudly on phone to early hours of the morning, I had noise cancelling headphones which I used once ready for sleep, I think these are a necessity with the poor sound proofing. The fan in the pod didn’t do a lot and was warm in the mornings, be wary in summer. There is also lights on a dimmer switch, a USB, USB-C and a 1 plug socket in the pod. Bring a gym size padlock as you can lock your pod shut. The facilities are basic, shower you have to press and hold, all cubicles some next to toilets. There are places to get ready in bathrooms including plug sockets for hair dryers and such. The entire building felt like it was under construction, with staircases warning of building site. The corridors with the pods were well kept but the lifts and stairs were poor. All in all it is very much you get what you pay for, just wish it wasn’t marketed as sound proof.

Walked in - and walked straight out!

The building is of very poor upkeep. The smell of weed from the moment I walked in was over powering. After a less than underwhelming check in experience - once I saw the layout of the dormitory and the capsule - I walked straight out and booked another room for the night.

The Hostel, was not finished and still a building site. Capsules are way to warm as the fans dont work. Smoke alarms go off as the temperature in capsule is to warm. Very noisy. Showers were dirty and to small. Signage not clear at alll and difficult to find roons

A little confusing to find but watch the YouTube reviews first and it's easy. Brilliant service. Easy to use and check in and out. I am an older guest (66) but if you are agile it is perfect for an overnight stay or maybe a 2 or 3 days. The staff were curtious and helpful. All the facilities were very clean. No Ritz but not that price 😊 and great location for the Theatre Land of London E. T. C. Tip. Take a photo of your room number and capsule as can be a little confusing at first. Take a padlock to lock the capsule when away from the capsule . + Great location. Friendly staff. Security. Clean WC's and Showers. - Little space and area to leave shoes and a bag when in the pod /capsules . Better hooks in the WC and Showers. Can be a little warm as air conditioning does have little effect. Exit signs could be clearer. Dave

You get what you pay for.

The check in system would be easier if they gave you some sort of receipt to remember your name. The toilets were dirty. My capsule felt like being in a morgue apart from the fact that it was loud and hadn't been cleaned. Checkout took too long. Staff were friendly and helpful though.

For the price of a high-end fish and chips you get to stay right at the piccadilly circus. This is my first night in a capsule hotel, but I did not feel claustrophobic. You share the space with many other travelers, this may require some getting used to. But it is, in my opinion, better than a hostel bed for similar prices. You get your own private bed at least. The wi-fi works great. Bathrooms are clean. The only thing is I did not see a way to control the temperature, so it got pretty hot inside the capsule. I will not stay in a shared-room hostel ever, but a capsule for sure, if I ever needed just a quick overnigher.
