Great area, close to nightlife, food, and transit. Capsules are spacious, private, and comfortable. Would highly recommend for the solo traveler.
Fraser, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Hot as hell. For some reason, they turned on the lights at 5:30 am waking everyone up.
Robert, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Such a lovely cute place. Pod was super clean, rooms are busy with 18 but so quiet.. the individual vents and slight hum blocks the noise. The electric lockers are a bit of a pain but the staff is super helpful. I will definitely stay here again.
