Terrible accommodation. When we arrived we were very disappointed to find out there was no signage on the building or any indication of where it is. When we got to the room we were extremely disappointed with the lack of security, there’s no lockers in the rooms and the doors in the pods don’t lock. There’s no staff on property so no sense of security of who’s coming and going. We ended up booking a hotel due to how unsafe this accommodation felt. Definitely would not recommend staying here

Bad experience
The concept as a great potential, but it is not well administrated. There was no hot water to shower on our last day, there was no heat during the whole stay. They also changed the front door code to access the hostel on our last night so we got stuck outside freezing one hour for them to give us a new code. They were also not answering our email and text message and we kindly ask a refund since the place was not excepting right standards.

This is a room with three stacks of pods, a few tiny bathrooms, and WiFi. Its WYSIWYG. Don’t expect much and you won’t be disappointed. The location is ideal and getting in is a breeze.

We were not given the check in code or any directions for how to enter the building and emailed and called with no answer for a couple hours until we were finally let in. There is no staff at all in the building so if you need any help you’re out of luck. The pods are literally flimsy plastic boxes and there is no heating in the entire building so it’s very cold all day. The bathrooms started out ok but cleaning staff must come very irregularly because by the end of our two day stay there were trashed and out of toilet paper. I have stayed in regular and pod hostels before and haven’t had issues but this one was not worth the price.

Lovely stay, fun little space pods. But no games / towels provided so bring your own! Over all very comfortable and easy stay. They let us go in earlier than check in as we had an early flight, that was v good.

Better communication needed
The place didn’t have towels as listed. The check-in message had two contact numbers listed in addition to the app, which was confusing. When I asked the hosts through all three contact methods if I could leave luggage at the hostel while exploring the city, I didn’t receive a response. Most hostels offer a secure place to store luggage, and it would’ve been nice to see this option. That being said, the place was easy to find, the pod was clean (and a cool way to get privacy in a hostel), and we were thankful for a last-minute booking at such a reasonable price. I understand they just recently opened, so hopefully all kinks will be worked out soon.

Overnight Stay.
Accommodation was clean & well maintained. Pod was spacious & comfortable. No chairs/stools were provided in the room. Nothing provided on which to hang your clothes or wet towels. The toilets are two flights of stairs down which is far from ideal. Two toilets/showers combined are available with another under construction. A shower being used rules out the availability of toilet, again not ideal. Overall more thought needs to be put in to make a stay more user friendly.

good hotel for a few nights stay
We were looking for a hotel to stay for one night and walk around the city. We just needed a place to sleep. This is a great place for that. It's like a hostel but you have a separate capsule in room. It fits two people. You can sleep closed well inside and no one bothers you. They just opened business. Everything is new and clean. They new in business and have some issues with service but have good communication, trying help, and they are trying to make the service better. This good for one or couple who travel with limited budget. I Recommend.

Not very welcoming, just a place to sleep.
The pods are OK, and the location near Smithfield not that bad, but altogether the place was rather desolate, I only met the manager? by chance (and few other residents, well, winter, and a weekend...). Only three bathrooms/toilets, can be a real problem in high season, especially if they are situated three flights of stairs down... Above all, the whole place was absolutely FRIGID in december, and light in the staircase missing.
