Noise & sleep
Noise from other guests moving around, particularly from upper pods, can be an issue, with earplugs recommended. There was also an unusual instance of a cat causing noise.
“Mostly fairly quiet although if someone in the pod above you needs to relieve themselves at 3am you're gonna hear the squeaking and banging while they make their way down. Use earplugs!”
“One morning, I was woken up by the meowing of a cat that had somehow snuck into the capsule area.”
Pod comfort

Shared bathrooms
The shared bathrooms are a significant drawback, with a cramped shower-over-toilet design that leaves the entire space wet. There are also reports of maintenance issues with shower thermostats.
“Shower and toilet together bit small space”
“Shower together with toilet in very small room are not very comfy. If someone take a shower, whole toilet is under water. If I want to use toilet but someone before get a shower, I would need to go on other floor.”
“The "shower-over-toilet" setup is an "interesting" design choice—it's a bit cramped and everything gets wet, but it’s manageable for a night or two.”

“very nice, friendly and helpful stuff.”
“The highlight of my stay was definitely the lady at the reception desk. From the moment I arrived, she was incredibly warm, kind, and welcoming. She personally showed me around the property, explained how everything worked, and made sure I felt comfortable and settled in. Her genuine friendliness and positive attitude made a huge difference to my experience. It’s rare to meet someone who cares so much about guests and goes the extra mile to make them feel at home. She is a real asset to this property and one of the main reasons I would happily return.”
“Staff always really nice.”

“Clean, secure, good location… great.”
“Lovley gem, location, clean nice, great staff.”
“The location and the pods”
Wifi & working
The charging options within the pods are considered outdated, with only USB-A ports available, which is inconvenient for modern devices requiring Type-C or standard plug chargers.
“The pod only has USB charger. Would be a lot better if they also have type C or plug charger”
“The tech in the capsules feels outdated for 2026. There were only two USB-A ports inside, which were useless to me as all my devices are Type-C. I got lucky being on the bottom bunk near a standard power outlet outside the capsule, but it’s something to keep in mind.”
Atmosphere
The property has a cool, space-themed atmosphere, enhanced by the presence of friendly cats that roam around, adding a unique and positive touch.
“Cats!!! Cool and clean spaces, very nice, friendly and helpful stuff.”
“The space themed property also has 5 alien looking naked cats wandering around who like to try and get into yr pod 😁”
