The Capsule Hotel - Hostel

- This place is in the downtown area - 2 blocks from Town Hall subway station - Around 10 minutes by walk to Central Station

- It's easy to make noise when you move or try to get out of bed - Slow speed of Elevator

The hotel is centralised and inexpensive, which are major selling points. A doona was provided despite previous reviews saying they were unavailable, and I had an extremely restful sleep.

My Single Bed - Front Entrance capsule was not fitted with a T.V. as advertised when I booked, in fact there was a sign in my capsule below where the T.V. should have been that stated “Standard Room doesn’t include TV facility.” My sheets appeared clean but looked as if they had previously been stained in spots by denim. At night other guests seem to forget that there are others in the pods around them and can have noisy conversations, pace the corridors, etc.

The location is fantastic and the pods gave good privacy, much better than a hostel. Staff were friendly.

The pods were not hugely comfortable - mine had two mattresses but they were bowed in the middle. In addition, the air conditioning in the pods doesn’t seem to cool the air, just push it around the pod, so they got very hot. The pods themselves seemed a bit flimsy, so any time there was movement in one of them, they really creaked! In addition, oddly enough it seemed that the hand soap in the facility was all watered down past the point of usefulness.
