Noise & sleep
Noise isolation is a significant drawback, with plastic capsules transmitting sounds easily. Guests frequently report hearing external sounds and noisy neighbours, despite some finding it quiet inside the pods.
“you can hear the external sounds, luckily did not have noisy neighbours.”
“The capsules are made from plastic so you can hear everything”
“Just people in general not realizing everyone can hear everything. A guy was coughing loudly out in the common area of the sleep quarters, a lady was farting and burping…. But once inside pods things seemed quiet.”
Pod comfort
Pod comfort receives mixed reviews, with some finding mattresses too soft or uneven, and ventilation within the plastic capsules being an issue. However, some found them cozy.
“The bed mattress was way too soft.”
“the bed structure wasn’t flat but it is ok for a night or two.”
“The capsules are made from plastic so you can hear everything and the ventilation is not that good to be honest.”
Privacy
The enclosed capsules offer a good degree of privacy, with guests appreciating the ability to shut the door for a personal space. However, the small room size overall might limit privacy for couples.
“Capsules provide a lot if privacy.”
“Once in and with the door shut it was actually very comfortable and quiet.”
“The rooms are quite small and there isn’t much privacy. Because of that, I don’t think it’s the best option for couples, especially if they are staying more than 2 days or a full weekend.”
Cleanliness
Capsules themselves are generally reported as clean and fresh. However, common areas, particularly bathrooms, receive frequent complaints about cleanliness, including hair on floors and mold in showers.
“cabin also looked clean.”
“The capsules were cozy, peaceful, and most importantly clean.”
“The hostel is was great the capsule was clean and smell fresh.”
Shared bathrooms
Shared bathrooms are a consistent source of negative feedback, with multiple reports of hair on floors, wet floors, and mold in the showers. While some found them 'really good and clean', these are isolated comments.
“a lot of hair on the bath floors, but it should be understandable as there cannot be a person to clean it constantly”
“The toilets should be cleaned more often.”
“MOLD IN THE SHOWERS! 🙅🏼♂️🙅🏼♂️🙅🏼♂️”
Luggage storage
There's conflicting information regarding luggage storage; one review mentions 'big lockers' while another states they are 'too small for two persons in one capsule'.
“big lockers.”
“The lockers are too small for two persons in one capsule.”
Staff & check-in
Staff generally receive positive comments for being friendly, helpful, and available. There was one negative incident reported regarding a staff member mistaking a departure date.
“staff also seemed to be friendly and available when needed”
“Excellent front desk staff”
“The front desk lady was amazing”
Location & access
The hostel is highly praised for its excellent location, being close to the metro, shops, supermarkets, and offering easy access to the city and airport.
“Location was great, close to the metro”
“Good location”
“Location is good. Just a few stops on the metro to get anywhere. There is an Aldi close by. Good facilities to prepare your food. Staff are nice and hard working. Always keeping the place clean.”
Atmosphere
The atmosphere is described as a typical hostel experience, with guests encountering various types of people and occasional disturbances. There was a specific complaint about the smell of weed and people smoking inside capsules.
“There was a strong scent of weed in the dorms. People smoking inside the capsules…”
“Okay!!! This was an adventure to be sure! It’s a hostal so of course you are dealing with all sorts of people.”
“Just people in general not realizing everyone can hear everything. A guy was coughing loudly out in the common area of the sleep quarters, a lady was farting and burping…. But once inside pods things seemed quiet. It’s a hostal after all. To be expected. But still annoying.”
Value for money
Guests generally consider the hostel to be good value for money, especially given its affordable price and good location, though some acknowledge it's a 'get what you pay for' situation.
“I mean, you get what you pay for and for a night this housing is a choice”
“Price for money. Capsules provide a lot if privacy.”
“Affordable capsules, good location, nice staff.”
