Bobopod Paskal, Bandung
This property offers a basic capsule experience with a great location, but be prepared for potential cleanliness issues in the shared facilities. It's best suited for budget-conscious solo travellers who prioritise location over pristine bathrooms.
Bobopod Paskal offers a capsule experience in Bandung, with guests sleeping in enclosed pods featuring electronic controls for lighting and ambiance. While the pods themselves are generally found to be comfortable and adequately spacious for solo travellers, noise from adjacent common areas and late departures can be a concern, with earplugs often recommended. The property's location is a strong point, being conveniently close to Paskal Mall, various street food options, and other local attractions. However, a significant and recurring issue highlighted by guests is the cleanliness of the shared bathrooms, which some reviewers found to be below standard compared to other branches of the same chain. Despite this, the staff are noted for their friendliness, and the property is often considered good value for money.
