Overall, I had a good stay. The USB outlet in my capsule didn't work, but the staff was very friendly and helpful! I will be staying here again!
Such a lovely cute place. Pod was super clean, rooms are busy with 18 but so quiet.. the individual vents and slight hum blocks the noise. The electric lockers are a bit of a pain but the staff is super helpful. I will definitely stay here again.
Had to try it out and stay here, and it was just a super nice experience. A very comfortable sleep, an awesome location with the metro station literally right there, and the most chill cafe/lobby vibes.
It was the best experience. Everyone was very friendly n helpful. Extremely prompt to request I enjoyed having dinner in my
Quiet capsule watching movies on my tablet.
Was a nice and clean hostel. I took the option of using the capsule and felt safe. Unlike other capsule hostels your atual capsule doesnt lock. It instead had a pull don curtain where you head / feet are depedning on how you sleep but the capsule are all in a locked room so you feel safe.
