    Smokers in communal vending machine and eating area. They need to restrict smoking to an area away from non smokers eating and drinking or better still just ban smoking on their property both indoors and outdoors. I would have rated them 10 if it were not for secondhand smoke everytime I passed through the communal area.

    Very comfortable. Good location. Excellent value for money.

    First time in a pod. Great experience. Love how all access is via an app and pod has tablet pad for light control, Bluetooth, etc... Location is great. Price is right.

    Only small issue that the door (to my pod at least) opened inwards which made it a bit difficult to get in and out sometimes.

    Really good value and nicely set up pods.

    Having to download and use an app for access to the building and the pod, which meant I had to have my phone on me all the time , even just to go to the toilet. This may be good for the company but is a real turn off for older travellers. The window to the pod has a roller blind which does not keep out the light.

    Very clean and comfortable pod room in a fantastic location in the old town. 5 minutes walk from the railway station . Very friendly and helpful staff, especially Inna, who went out of her way to help me even though she had already finished work.

    It's a really neat concept and overall a great place. The only downside was that the mattress was extremely hard. I felt like I was sleeping directly on the floor. The pods are also not soundproof, so it can get a bit noisy at times. I could hear someone snoring and could hear every sound coming from the bathroom (dryers, etc). The location is very convenient to the train station, and I was able to walk from there instead of taking a taxi. There's a convenience store and several restaurants in the vicinity also.

    Pods are not sound proof it's almost like the person next door is in your room in fact I woke up a few times thinking someone open my door but it was next door. But I'm a light sleeper and earplugs did the trick.

    I was presently surprised that it was a private unit. It was super clean, towels, hot shower, common area and lovely staff. I so wanted to stay longer. Sometimes I was so comfy in my pod that I didn't want to leave but that would defeat the purpose of sightseeing. I have booked already my next pod for another city.

    A nice, conveniently located capsule hostel

    • Earth Double Pod Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    This hostel chain expects its guests to download and use an app to check in and operate the doors, etc. I hate downloading apps, and when the receptionist tried to download the app for me, we couldn't get it to work with my Google password manager. Pain in the neck. Eventually, he gave up, used my mobile phone to photograph a QR code, and from then onwards, I just used that photo to get in and out. So if you don't like apps, ask the receptionist to do that for you, too.

    A great little capsule hostel right in the heart of the old town. and a short walk from the main railway station. Staff were very friendly and helpful, the capsule was comfortable and the bathroom facilities clean and otherwise satisfactory. Aircon and wifi were also good, and my breakfast was tasty. Other food and drink was also available for purchase. Recommended.

    Interesting concept of using app to check-in and QR code to access doors and pod. A bottle of body wash given upon checking in is a nice touch.

    Pods are very small (especially if you travel with a backpack) and there is not really a communal space with aircon where you can sit. Not so social, so if you want to meet people, not the best spot

    Small but good! The host was super friendly and helpful. I expected it to be a bit cold and impersonal due to the QR codes and app that you have to use, but was nothing like that. The location is perfect in the old town. The pod and toilets are very clean.

    Right in the center of old town, very pretty surroundings.
