The matress was uncomfortable, the cooling was inadequate ..
Unlucky to have noisy people ariund me I guess ..
there was hair and what looked like snot stuck to the wall inside the pod, the building had terrible ventilation and absolutely stank of body odour. yes it was cheap but if you can’t at least keep the place clean it shouldn’t operate

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
POD was quite hot as it was a very warm night and the fan did little to cool it down. If it was winter, I’m sure it would have been a lot more comfortable.
Always a nice place to rest before setting off on an adventure or returning and getting ready to rest up to fly home

Pods weren’t entirely clean (there we some dried coffee stains on the wall in mine) and some minor wear and tear (some small holes in the mattress cover) but apart from that it was decently alright. Just prepare yourself for the kinds of people you will meet here, as one man was very very clearly drunk yet was still allowed to check in :/
Simple accomodation but just what was required. An alternative to hotels with the sleep
pods and shared bathroom and kitchen. Everything was clean and functioned well
