Overall a good hotel. Excellent location and very clean. Kitchen is poorly equipped - one spoon, 2 glasses, 2 cheap plastic bowls. There didn’t seem to be much hot water in the evening sometimes. I would stay here again as it’s very cheap and well located. There is a comfortable lobby area and pretty decent wifi. Lots of showers and toilets plus laundry room.

I had a great stay in the capsule hotel. The capsule itself was very comfortable, with the built-in fan and shelf and hooks and charging PowerPoint. The shared facilities like the kitchen and bathrooms were very efficient and comfortable too. The building is iconic! And the messages around the building from the Staff are also iconic. All in all I thoroughly recommend this friendly and clean hotel.

This property is located right in CBD. It’s very clean and clients are quiet. I was given a top bunk and staff easily changed me to a lower bunk next day. Disco night on Friday downstairs was a bit noisy.

Basic bed in a dorm

As hostels go, pretty expensive for what you get - a box. Obviosuly if you’re going to be out exploring and you just need a bed - then it’s okay. Room was freezing but then inside the “capsule” when the blind is down it’s very hot and the fan does not work well at all. Felt relatively clean although closer inspection there were stains on the duvet and pillow. I saw a baby cockroach in the bathroom but at least just one. Great location in the centre. Loud at night as it’s in the same place as a bar/ darts club. Bed was comfy to be fair. Small drawer under the bed to store luggage - not easily accessible when you’re needing to grab stuff from your bag.
