The location of the hotel was convenient and safe. Although the heating did not work for the night I stayed and it was hard to fall asleep because of how thin the blankets were.

Dirtier than expected, especially in the vents. Very compact bathroom especially if you're a big person. Shower tap kept falling off and the basin tap kept opening on its own. The other guests were very noisy at 4am but that is not the property's fault. A good central location for sightseeing

Too close for comfort
Having stayed in Pod Hotels in other cities, I was confident that it would be a good experience, as all before had. Not so, there was no way to adjust the temperature of the room, which was cool, due to it being an street-facing room. There was no extra blanket in the room to make up for this. The walls were paper thin, so i coukd hear everything being said in the two rooms that had adjoining walls. Ther showe curtain smelled moldy and the overhead light in the bathroom did not work. There was construction going on right outside my window and although there were 14 floors and i booked the room 4 months prior, i was placed on the 3rd floor. Not going to recommend or stay at this location again.

Can't beat location for the price!!! Loved to convenience! It does have a young hip vibe, so no luxury here, but all you need to put your head down at night. The doors make a lot of noise when closing and most residents are not mindful that they should hold on to them as to close them more gently, but I was able to sleep thru that repetitive noise. Also, odd how there was a window connecting the bathroom to the room, diminishing the privacy factor. Otherwise, no other complaints.
