Close to everything in the heart of the city. Only thing is the capsules are what seems to be mould injected or pressed plastic and feel ver flimsy and make all kinds of creaking noises when getting in and out of them. Other than that, all other amenities are good.

Great place to stay if heading out for a few drink
Always a great stay at the capsule Hotel, i Live 2 hours out of the CBD and works out great if i want to catch up with mates and go out drinking, 5 mins walk from Town Hall Station, walk to everything including markets, little Japan with great food, lots of great bars within walking distance, also has a great little Japanese dart bar with Kiren on tap! The bathroom etc is shared but always clean, bedding and capsules clean, if your heading out in the CBD cant get anything more central for the money, cant recommend enough

I was woken up at 2am my capsule shaking like an earthquake from a couple. I had no choice but to check out middle of the night. Would not recommend if you want to sleep.

Can’t beat the price. Nice and cozy. Much better than a dorm room in hostels. The beds are thin foam. Very uncomfortable beds. If they upgrade the mattresses it’s a perfect cheap simple place to stay in heart of cbd.

Loved the capsule. Was very private and clean. It has great little amenities like good lighting, mirror, charges, air con and reduces the noise which is the biggest issue in hotels.

Apart from the capsule being a little thin (can hear noises outside), the accommodation was tidy and comfortable. Excellent staff service and located right at next to Sydney Town Hall. Highly recommended.

Great place to stay for lower budget travelers
It's a great place for the price, the location and in fact it's Sydney. The few cons is that reception only open from 10 to 8 which is a short window for guest to check in or leave their bag on the last day. The capsules have no sound isolation which is standard for all capsule hotels but the power cuts off when you remove the card from its slot. This meant that I can't even leave my power bank to be changed while I'm away exploring the city.

The dorms were clean, quiet and very tidy. Lockers a good size. Bathrooms quite old and damaged tiles etc. Overall quite a pleasant surprise for the price, however the mattress was so thin it was quite uncomfortable to try to sleep on. Ive had neck pain since. If my mattress had have been a bit thicker and comfortable, I would stay again.

Perfectly fine place to stay. In the heart of the CBD so lots going on. Capsules provide some privacy. They are quite cheeky and loud, and the mattress a bit thin. Overall it’s fine. Would stay again.

Make sure to demand a capsule that actually works.
The capsule I was in was broken. Clearly terrible maintenance. I couldn't lock my capsule and I felt completely vulnerable.
